Best Japanese Restaurants in Rancho Bernardo

Excellent food and service. Menu orders: Won Ton noodle soup, Beef noodle soup, Curry Katsu (chicken), Gai-lan, Lychee-tini, Pomegranate Paloma. Second visit in 2 years and still high and consistent quality.

We were greeted with a welcome and they remembered from my reservation that this was my wedding anniversary. We choose an indoor seat by the window. The waves looked nice as we could see them roll in. The food was very good. We had the Shrimp Dumplings which was good--sort of like a Chinese potsticker, but soft. I had the Lobster and Shrimp Chowder, excellent. My wife had the Mixed Organic Greens, very good. We shared both. For our main course I had the Seafood Pasta lobster, shrimp, scallop & mahi with smoked tomato sauce, Thai basil & parmesan. I liked it very much. My wife had the Pacific Paella grilled lobster tail, mahi, clams, scallops, shrimp & saffron Arborio rice, very good. The quantity of those dishes was more than what we expected--we could have just ordered one or the other and shared.

It’s always a good time at Benihana! The chef was so accommodating with my special requests and made my birthday special. The food was over and above delicious. We will be back!

So yummy! I love that it wasn’t slammed & the servers weren’t hurried.

Excellent food & service. AC is always too cold but otherwise a great experience.
