Benihana Sides & Extras Menu With Prices 2026

Still hungry after the hibachi show? Benihana’s sides and extras menu lets you add more of what you love: extra shrimp, chicken or steak grilled to order, a colorful pile of hibachi vegetables, or simple steamed rice. Sides are the smart way to customize — top up fried rice, feed a hungry teen, or build a lighter meal around vegetables and rice.

Below are all five sides with typical 2026 prices ($3.95–$12.95) and calorie counts. Sides can be added to any order, any time — just ask your chef or server.

Benihana Sides Prices & Calories (2026)

Make It a Double: Protein Add-Ons

The extra shrimp ($11.95), chicken ($9.95) and steak ($12.95) sides are cooked exactly like the full entrees — same teppan, same garlic butter, same theater — in smaller portions. They are the most cost-effective way to add serious protein: the chicken side packs 32g and the steak side 36g, both well below entree prices.

Lighter Choices: Vegetables & Rice

The hibachi vegetables side (90 cal, $6.50) is caramelized zucchini, onion and mushrooms — the lightest add-on on the menu. Steamed rice ($3.95, 200 cal) is the smart swap for fried rice when you want the flavor without the fat. Together they make a solid vegetarian-leaning plate.

Sides Strategy: Getting the Most Value

Pro moves: add the chicken side to a fried rice order for a full meal under $15; split a steak side across the table for a taste without the entree; order vegetables plus steamed rice for the lightest dinner on the menu. And extra Yum Yum Sauce ($2.50) improves literally everything — see our sauces guide.

Conclusion

Sides are Benihana’s secret menu for smart ordering — more protein, lighter options and better value. Add what you love and skip what you don’t.
