Signature Cocktails: Mai Tai & Sake Sangrias
The Mai Tai is the undisputed star — a proper tiki build with light and dark rum, orange curacao, lime and orgeat. The three sake sangrias (red plum, white peach, sparkling strawberry) are Benihana’s original twist: sake-based, fruit-forward and lighter than wine sangria. If you only try one drink, make it the Mai Tai; if you want refreshing, pick a sangria.
Sake, Beer & Wine: What Pairs Best
Hot sake is the traditional hibachi companion — savory and warming. Cold premium sake is the connoisseur’s pick and the right call with sushi. Kirin lager is the classic beer pairing: crisp, clean and built for rich grilled food. For wine, go white or plum — acidity beats tannin against garlic butter and soy.
Happy Hour & Drinking Responsibly
Many Benihana locations run weekday happy hour with discounted cocktails, beer and appetizers — the cheapest way to try the bar menu. Please enjoy responsibly: cocktails like the Mai Tai are stronger than they taste, arrange a designated driver, and note that you must be 21+ to purchase alcohol. To-go alcohol availability varies by state law.
