Benihana Menu Prices 2026 (Complete Price List)
A complete, up-to-date look at Benihana menu prices for 2026 — hibachi dinners, sushi, appetizers, desserts and drinks, with tips on what affects the final bill.
Searching for Benihana prices before you book a table is smart planning, because this is a full-service teppanyaki restaurant where the experience matters as much as the food. A Benihana dinner is a multi-course event: every hibachi entree typically starts with Japanese onion soup, a Benihana salad with ginger dressing, hibachi shrimp as an appetizer course, and hibachi vegetables, followed by your chosen protein with steamed or fried rice and the famous dipping sauces. That structure is why comparing Benihana menu prices to a regular restaurant is tricky — you are paying for several courses plus tableside entertainment from a trained teppanyaki chef.
Prices vary by location, since each Benihana restaurant sets its own menu pricing based on local market costs. The figures below reflect typical 2026 US pricing gathered from restaurant menus across the country. Expect lunch to run noticeably cheaper than dinner, coastal and big-city locations to price a few dollars higher, and specials like happy hour or the lunch menu to cut the bill significantly. Use this guide to budget your visit, then confirm exact prices with your local restaurant before you go.

Why Benihana Prices Vary by Location
If you see different Benihana prices in different cities, that is normal. Benihana restaurants are a mix of company-owned and franchised locations, and each sets prices for its market. Seafood costs, local wages, rent and state taxes all push prices up or down by a few dollars per dish. Holiday periods and special event menus (like New Year’s Eve) can also carry premium pricing.
The most reliable way to see exact prices is the menu at your local restaurant or its page on the official Benihana website. Treat any national price list — including this one — as a planning estimate rather than a promise.
