If you’re on the hunt for a memorable party venue with a touch of theatre, Benihana Covent Garden is the place for you. Known worldwide for its Japanese cuisine and entertaining cooking style, Benihana Covent Garden offers several options for exclusive venue hire and parties.
Once you cross the threshold on Maiden Street you’ll be greeted by luxurious interiors, showcasing the key features of Japanese design: a vibrant black and red colour palette, shining polished stone, smooth-finished wood and glowing moody lighting. It’s a suave space, with a refined aesthetic.
With a grand total of 20 teppanyaki tables (each seating between 8-10 guests) spread over two floors, this is a venue able to cater to any style of event both big and small. Whether you opt for the upper or lower level - or combine two to host 100 guests standing - you’ll have a front-row view of Benihana’s expert chefs. If your occasion is expected to be a more intimate affair, Benihana Covent Garden also has a private dining room with a capacity of 16 guests split across two tables.
To avoid any planning pains, Benihana offers a party menu with options to suit every budget and taste. You’ll begin with a selection of Japanese appetizers, edamame, and the signature onion soup, before moving onto a theatrical main course of succulent grilled meats and seafood. Popular options include succulent hibachi chicken with mushrooms, the popular frilled black cod with miso sauce, and - if you fancy a little more luxury - a special treat of Canadian lobster.
All are served with hibachi rice and vegetables and include dessert, and can be upgraded to include sushi or a plate of mixed tempura. The drinks selection is in hand too, with an extensive selection of sakes, wines, and quaffable cocktails.
