Benihana Chelsea, Venue Hire

Step into the enchanting world of our Japanese Teppanyaki steak house, nestled in the heart of Covent Garden. Our venue is a true culinary haven, where tradition meets innovation, and dining becomes a captivating spectacle. Spanning across two inviting floors, our restaurant boasts a total of 20 state-of-the-art cooking stations, ensuring a memorable experience for every guest. Whether you choose to dine upstairs or downstairs, you'll find yourself immersed in the artistry of our skilled Teppanyaki chefs.


The first Benihana opened in New York City back in 1964 and we are credited with introducing the west to the Japanese concept of Teppanyaki dining.
During a meal at Benihana, guests are seated at a communal table with a ‘Teppan’ grill at the centre and look on as your food orders are cooked to perfection right before your eyes.

This world of ‘food theatre’ is particularly popular for large groups, birthday parties couples alike. The dining room is a vibrant space featuring Japanese-inspired décor with deep red walls and dark wood tables and chairs giving the space a grown-up feel.

On the menu you will find a selection of small dishes such as chicken gyoza, prawn tempura and spring rolls and it wouldn’t be a Japanese restaurant without a tempting range of sushi.
Of course, the main attraction is on the table side action where expert chefs in our famous red hats wow the crowds with their slicing, dicing and chopping skills as they prepare a range of dishes including miso black cod and Wagyu beef and filet mignon.

A carefully chosen wine list compliments the dinner menu along with an extensive range of signature cocktails, all with a unique Japanese twist.
