"The Show: Hibachi Chicken In terms of bang for your buck, New York City's only Benihana wins by a landslide. Dinner at this cavernous Midtown restaurant is one long tableside performance. Our favorite part is when they use a spatula to make a beating heart out of fried rice. All you have to do is sit back, drink an electric blue fishbowl, and make friends with the couple sitting across from you, who are both really good at catching the vegetables in their mouths when the chef throws them. The food is generally bland, but in a city without many hibachi options, you take what you can get. Plus, you're not here for the food anyway. You're here for that fried rice heart.
