Las Vegas dinner shows rarely match the sizzle-per-dollar value of a teppanyaki table, so here is what your bill will look like before the onion volcano erupts. Checking the Benihana Las Vegas menu with prices before you book is the smartest way to avoid sticker shock when the chef flips a shrimp into your mouth. You are not just paying for food here; you are paying for a front-row seat to a culinary performance that has not changed in fifty years because it does not need to.
Benihana Las Vegas Menu With Prices
Let us break down the actual costs you can expect at the Las Vegas locations (there are two: one at West Sahara and one inside the Hilton Lake Las Vegas). The menu is split into appetizers, entrees, and combos. Prices below reflect the standard dinner menu and do not include tax or the 18% gratuity that is often added for large parties.
Appetizers And Sides
You might be tempted to fill up on the onion soup and salad that come with every entree. They are included, so do not over-order. If you want something extra, these are the common add-ons:
- Benihana Special Roll – $14.00 (spicy tuna and crab)
- Spicy Garlic Edamame – $8.50
- Chicken Fried Rice (side order) – $9.00
- Shrimp Appetizer (served with the clear mushroom soup) – $12.00
Signature Teppanyaki Entrees
Every entree comes with the full show: hibachi shrimp appetizer, clear soup, garden salad, and vegetables. The protein is the star, and the prices have crept up over the last year. Here is the current breakdown for the dinner service:
- Hibachi Chicken – $32.50
- Hibachi Steak (New York strip) – $41.00
- Hibachi Filet Mignon – $48.00
- Hibachi Salmon – $36.50
- Hibachi Scallops – $44.00
- Hibachi Shrimp – $34.00
Combos And The “Dinner For Two”
Combos are where you find the value. You get two proteins for roughly the price of one and a half. The most popular option is the steak and chicken combo at $46.00. If you want the full experience, the “Benihana Special” (filet, lobster, and shrimp) will set you back $68.00 per person.
What About Lunch Prices?
If you visit between 11:30 AM and 2:30 PM on weekdays, the prices drop significantly. The same Hibachi Chicken entree is only $22.00 at lunch. The portions are slightly smaller, but the show is identical. This is the best hack for budget travelers who still want the knife-spinning action.
Drinks And Dessert Costs
Do not forget the beverage side of the bill. A standard soft drink is $5.00, but the real expense is the cocktails. The signature “Benihana Punch” is $15.00. Sake by the carafe starts at $18.00. Desserts are simple and overpriced; the green tea ice cream is $7.00, and the chocolate dipped fruit is $9.00. You are better off skipping dessert and grabbing a cheaper sweet treat on the strip.
One final note on the bill structure. The prices listed on the online menu sometimes differ from the physical menu by a dollar or two. This is due to location-specific pricing. The West Sahara location tends to be slightly cheaper than the Lake Las Vegas outpost. Also, check your receipt carefully. They automatically add an 18% service charge for tables of six or more, but some servers will still expect a tip on top of that if you are in a large group.
Budget roughly $100 per person if you want an appetizer, an entree, and two drinks. If you stick to water and a basic chicken dinner, you can get out for about $45 per person. The sizzle is free, but the garlic butter is not.
