Benihana Sides Menu & Prices

The Benihana sides menu is the deepest supporting section on the whole menu — soups, starters, tempura, samplers and specialty rice to round out any meal. With Benihana sides priced from about $3.25 to $12.00, this is where you build out a hibachi dinner or graze in the lounge, whether you want a warming bowl of miso soup or a plate of crispy shrimp tempura. There's a lot here, and it pairs with everything.

The Benihana sides range from the classic starters — Benihana Onion Soup, Benihana Salad and Miso Soup ($3.25–$3.50) — to more substantial plates like the various tempura (vegetable, shrimp, scallop and calamari) and sautés. There are also samplers (Sushi Sampler, Sashimi Sampler) and specialty rice (Benihana Sushi Rice, Hibachi Chicken Rice, Brown Rice), plus premium bites like Tuna Tataki ($12.00) and Soft Shell Crab ($8.95). It's genuinely a mini-menu of its own.
