  • When it first opened in 1964, Benihana brought a whole new meaning to the phrase "dinner and a show" for Americans. There, dinner is the show, as skilled chefs perform tricks and feats of culinary near-magic for the diners assembled around the table, which is equipped with a teppanyaki grill.
    The chain now has almost 80 locations, and they all need a team of chefs who can cook well and do all those fancy tricks safely. What does it take to get there? There's a good amount of training involved, and you need some experience up front. There are some sweet perks, though. Here's what it's really like being a chef at Benihana.

      The food was inedible. All of my hibachi meals were business trip related. The food always sucked.

    It's a teppanyaki joint! Not a hibachi joint! Hibachi is a charcoal grill! A teppan is a steel plate teppanyaki is "cooking on a steel plate". Get it right people!

      Additionally, YOU typically cook your food at a hibatchi restaurant.

      @@oSTARCHILD Even that seems unfair for a job that has you standing and working with heat, knives, and food that people will eat without inspection.

      @Albert Menendez must have been a busy store. The one I was at is the only one in our state (and like 500 miles or something). No chef was consistently making $300 in 6 hours. Not even with side tips. We had 17 tables, 8 or 9 chefs, usually 5 to 6 tables per night (weekends would be more with being open later). Usually around $20 per table for tips (depending on size).... normally we'd get 40-50 entrees.

    They require year one of experience? That is so oppressive! I demand they get shut down permanently!! So outraged! 😡😡😡😡😡

      They don't even follow that. People with zero experience get shoved into training all the time. We had a guy that applied to be a server and they made him a chef lol
