Great News, Benihana Beirut is Still Delicious!

In a country where food trends come and go faster than you can say “sushi burrito,” there’s one culinary icon that’s been holding its own in Beirut since 1995: Benihana. They’ve been dishing out delight for nearly three decades from the very same spot, making it a true OG in the city’s dining scene.

Tucked away in Hamra’s Le Commodore Hotel, their friendly staff and fun show still manages to get a smile out of even the most serious of patrons. Sit on their spacious bars and enjoy the show while you feast on everything from sushi rolls to their signature grills. Enjoy grilled yellowfin tuna, spicy seafood noodles, yakisoba, and practically every other combo you can think up!

Highly skilled and well-trained, your personal chef will entertain you while cooking such favorites as steak, chicken, seafood and fresh vegetables in traditional Japanese style on a teppenyaki grill. What does teppanyaki mean? It means, quite literally, broiled on a steel grill, which is the definition of Japanese teppanyaki-style cooking in its simplest form.

This is a great spot for a date, a family feast, or even a special celebration!

In a world where trends fizzle out as quickly as they ignite, Benihana Beirut remains a beacon of consistency and quality. So, whether you’re a longtime fan or a newcomer eager to taste what all the fuss is about, one thing’s for sure: Benihana Beirut is still serving up deliciousness, one unforgettable meal at a time.

They’re open every day 1:30 PM – 11:00 PM, so pull up a chair!
