Benihana Aruba: Hibachi Teppanyaki Show on Palm Beach

Benihana Aruba brings the iconic American teppanyaki show to Palm Beach, located inside the South Beach Building on Palm Beach 55 in Noord — a short walk from the beachfront resort row. The chef-on-grill performance is the same one Benihana fans know stateside: knife flips, onion volcano, and the trademark fried-rice toss, all cooked at your table with a group of fellow diners.

About Benihana

Open 7 days a week for dinner, with extended Friday-Sunday hours starting at 11:30am for lunch. Reservations strongly recommended (especially for groups celebrating birthdays — they go all-out). Tables are communal hibachi-style, so expect to dine with other parties at the same grill — that’s the format. Sushi available off-grill if you’d prefer the bar experience. Cash and card both accepted.

Signature Dishes & What to Order

Order the standard hibachi combos (steak + shrimp, chicken + scallops, etc.) for the full teppanyaki experience. The fried rice is the universal must-order side. Sushi rolls are solid. Allergy accommodations work well — they’re used to handling shellfish and nut allergies. Larry the chef gets repeated mentions for being especially entertaining for kids and families.

What Diners Say

4.3 stars from 401 reviews. Common praise: friendly staff, accommodating with allergies, kids-and-families atmosphere, and the entertainment value of the show. Some reviewers note the dining room can run warm (the open hibachi grills throw real heat — that’s the point) and service can be slow when busy. Best experience: book early, sit hungry, enjoy the show.
