Kid Tester: Zenovia, 8 years old
Location: Manhasset, NY
Meal: Chicken and Vegetable Hibachi
For our mutual nameday ( being Greek Orthodox, we celebrate the saints we are named after) my granddaughter Zena & I had our annual lunch at Benihana's japanese restaurant in Manhasset, NY. This is truly Zena's all-time favorite place to eat. The food is not only delicious, but being prepared on a grill in front of you by a talented chef is a definite highlight for children & adults. Your personal chef makes the experience fun & entertaining. The choices are simple & healthy,not to mention tasty. Zena had the terriyaki chicken & even ate all her vegetables.The ambiance is authentic & the fact that the tables are designed to seat up to eight people makes it a social event.We sat with parents who had children the same age as Zena. She loved the fact that she & the other kids shared menu ideas & opinions. You would never think that an eight year old would be sophisticated enough to enjoy japanese cuisine, but Zena is beyond mature when it comes to her taste buds. She is never afraid to try new foods & as her Yiayia, (greek for grandmother) I love that! And kids feel more mature when in a different atmosphere, trying new things. The food is a little pricey, but well worth it for quality, quantity & a show! Total Thumbs Up!!!!
