As summer wraps up, take friends and family to Benihana for a night of delicious food and Benihana hibachi entertainment. Experience this month's teppanyaki meal of Hibachi Steak & Chicken for Two, grilled at the tabletop with mushrooms and sesame seeds. Or be adventurous and try the Seafood Diablo for One: sea scallops, calamari, shrimp, assorted vegetables and Japanese noodles grilled in Benihana's homemade spicy sauce. Both Chef's Specials are served with Benihana's signature onion soup, Benihana salad, a hibachi shrimp appetizer, hibachi vegetables, homemade dipping sauces, steamed rice and Japanese hot green tea, offering balanced and flavorful five-course meals for only $45 or $20 respectively (tax and gratuity excluded).

Complement either of the August Chef's Specials with one of Benihana's suggested beverage pairings. Highlight the Hibachi Steak & Chicken for Two with a smooth glass of St. Francis Merlot featuring hints of cherry, chocolate and plum. The Hana Awaka "Sparkling Flower" Sparkling Sake is a light, refreshing option with sweet, floral undertones that pairs perfectly with the Seafood Diablo. If looking for a cocktail to share with friends, try Benihana's Blue Ocean Punch for Bowl for two or more.

The specials can be found at all Benihana restaurants in the United States, with the exception Little Rock, Las Vegas and Hawaii.
