\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Happily I’ve never had a bad meal at Benihana<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0—\u00a0The restaurant chain\u00a0opened more than 40 years ago.\u00a0\u00a0I’ve dined at several locations across the states and haven’t\u00a0left any without a smile on my face.\u00a0 The food is always fresh,\u00a0cooked perfectly and it’s fun to watch it happen.\u00a0 And if you join The Chef’s Table<\/a>, you’ll receive a complimentary meal during the month of your birthday, a $30 value.\u00a0 It’s a great deal.\u00a0 If you have a birthday coming up,\u00a0join now.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This visit we ordered the Land ‘N Sea<\/strong>, which includes Benihana’s Onion Soup and Salad, a Hibachi Shrimp appetizer, Zucchini and Onions, steamed or fried Rice, Ice Cream and\u00a0Green Tea, as like most meals.\u00a0 The Land ‘N Sea also consists of Filet Mignon and Sea Scallops that are grilled with Lemon and Butter.\u00a0 Everything tasted\u00a0fantastic\u00a0and the cooking show was entertaining as usual, especially when our chef missed catching an Egg that\u00a0fell and cracked on the floor — It happens.\u00a0 Unfortunately that photo turned out blurry.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

These photos were taken at Benihana’s\u00a0Newport Beach\u00a0restaurant.\u00a0 We recommend Chef Roberto, who is pretty darn funny and talented.\u00a0 The service\u00a0seems extra good at this location.\u00a0 Management was walking around making sure everyone was happy and satisfied.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Chef Roberto made a heart out of the Fried Rice and a volcano out of the Onions.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Our Filet Mignon and Sea Scallops were perfectly cooked, as usual.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Keep it\u00a0coming — We’re always stuffed on the way out and have leftovers for the next day.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Although we’ve enjoyed countless meals at Benihana, this is Nibbles of Tidbits’ first report.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We\u00a0celebrated a couple birthdays at our table, thus appreciated the complimentary photo<\/a>, beautifully carved Pineapple and song.\u00a0\u00a0Chef’s Table<\/a>\u00a0birthday meals are honored without a hitch — Just bring in the printed voucher with an ID and you may redeem it anytime during the month of your birthday.\u00a0 It’s a terrific deal.<\/p>\n
