Rocky “Hiroaki” Aoki opened the first Benihana restaurant in 1964 in New York City. He is the pioneer of “Teppan-yaki” dining, chefs combining dazzling performance and cooking freshest ingredients in front of diners. ince the opening of the first Benihana, Rocky Aoki the founder has nutured his theme into a successful international food chain. There is certainly an art to being a Benihana chef. Ours – welcoming, funny, charming – flips and lights our food with inimitable deft and elegance on the hotplate that so hot, we are told, can cook a steak in seconds.
