Benihana - Salt Lake City brings high-energy, tableside Japanese cooking to the heart of downtown, just steps from major concert venues. Located on South West Temple, this smart casual hotspot is known for its teppanyaki-style dining, where chefs prepare meals right at your table with flair and precision. The atmosphere is lively and theatrical — perfect for kicking off an exciting night out.
Benihana's central location puts it within easy walking distance of major venues, making it a top pick for a pre-show dinner. The fast-paced service means you can enjoy a full meal without worrying about missing the opening act. Plus, the energetic vibe and shared hibachi tables make it a great place to fuel up with friends before the music starts.
Guests consistently rave about the entertaining chefs and the freshness of the food, especially the hibachi shrimp and filet mignon. Many reviewers mention how enjoyable it is to watch the meal being prepared in front of them. The restaurant's downtown location and welcoming staff also earn high marks, especially from those visiting Salt Lake City for events or concerts.
Some diners note that the restaurant can be a bit loud during peak hours — but that's part of the fun if you're in the mood to celebrate. Reservation timing can be tight on show nights, so it's smart to book ahead.
If you're looking for a vibrant, group-friendly spot with fast service and flair before heading to a concert, Benihana hits the right note.

All in all it was a good experience; our chef was a bit inexperienced and made a lot of mistakes on his tricks, but he was very fun and tried his best. We liked him! Just needs a bit more polishing on the entertainment. Steak was melt in your mouth yummy!
Liked: The food was amazing.
Disliked: We were FREEZING. I mentioned it several times - no one did a thing about it. My husband was shivering; the cold air was blowing right on us.
