Benihana @ San Francisco

Tepanyaki!!!!! Yes dinner at Benihana's is nothing special, and yes it is quite a tourist trap, but it's uber fun when you go with your entire family for Christmas, and you take up two tables :D It's also quite nice when you haven't done tepanyaki for about 10+ years, so the allure has kind of come back. Lots of pictures while our chef Anton cooked up a yummy dinner. While it seemed in the beginning that there wasn't much food, but I definitely didn't eat it all. It may be because he gave me more food than the rest, cause I told him I was HUUUNNNGRRY.

I ordered the Hibachie Supreme: 8.5 oz. of our finest center cut tenderloin, served with a cold water lobster tail sautéed with butter and lemon.
