Benihana, Japanese restaurant in Broomfield, US.
Benihana is a Japanese teppanyaki restaurant in Broomfield, Colorado, where cooks prepare beef, chicken, seafood, noodles, and vegetables directly at shared grills in front of seated guests. Sushi and a range of dipping sauces are also on the menu, giving diners options beyond the grill.
The Benihana concept was founded in New York City in 1964 by Rocky Aoki, a Japanese immigrant who adapted the teppanyaki cooking style for American diners. From that single location, the chain grew to over 100 restaurants across multiple countries.
At Benihana, the cook works right at the table, and guests sit together around the grill watching their food being prepared. This setup turns a meal into a shared moment rather than a private one, which makes the place popular for group celebrations.
The restaurant sits on Zang Street near Flatiron Crossing Mall, which makes it easy to find when driving through Broomfield. Reservations are a good idea, especially on weekends or for groups, as the communal grill tables fill up quickly.
The restaurant has 2 separate dining areas with sliding shoji doors and saltwater aquariums that can be closed off for private events. The name Benihana means red flower in Japanese and comes from a flower that grew near the entrance of the original New York location.
