It was called Benihana of Tokyo, and its founder, a young Japanese Olympic wrestler named Rocky Aoki, has since nurtured his theme into America&#8217;s Most Popular Family Restaurant, and an international food chain.<br \/>\n<\/p>\n<h3>Benihana Restaurant<\/h3>\n<p>The name &quot;Benihana&quot; comes from the poetic Japanese words for red flower, with the origin of the story actually dating back to 1935 when the late Yunosuke Aoki (Rocky&#8217;s Father) opened a small coffee shop and called it &quot;Benihana&quot; after a wild red flower that grew near the front door.<\/p>\n<p>Benihana&#8217;s food preparation methods immediately set it apart from other restaurants, as it had no conventional kitchen. Instead, chefs prepared all entrees on the same table, called a &quot;hibachi&quot;, around which up to eight guests could be seated. Gas jets, which heat stainless steel cooking surfaces surrounded by board wooden borders, soon became a Benihana trademark.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-69 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/www.bucharest-guide.ro\/en\/benihana-restaurant\/benihana-restaurant-2\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bucharest-guide.ro\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/benihana-restaurant-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.bucharest-guide.ro\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/benihana-restaurant-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/www.bucharest-guide.ro\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/benihana-restaurant-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl>\n\t\t\t<br style='clear: both' \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Benihana &#8211; the flavour of Japan In 1964, there emerged on the fiercely competitive New York restaurant scene a totally new concept in fine dining.
