For many around here, Benihana was their first Japanese dining experience. It certainly was the first chain to do teppanyaki-style cooking. The Pennsauken location (5255 Marlton Pike), the last in the Philly region, recently reopened after a renovation that brings it into (at least) the late 20th century. The redesign darkened the ceilings and floors and added red, something we all need a little more of. Oh, and note the slight resemblance to Haru, at Third and Chestnut Streets in Old City. No coincidence. Both are owned by Benihana.
