Benihana Lunch in New York - Teppanyaki in the US
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 гру 2021
- Visiting the most iconic Teppanyaki in the Western World. Since the lunch specials consists only of smaller portions of beef, I decide to try their best steak - Chateaubriand - and the lunch special spicy chicken.
I feel like a lot of people here don't really understand that Hibachi/Teppanyaki serves a completely different purpose and has a different atmosphere in the Sates than in Japan. It is not at all meant to be a quite/intimate fine dining experience. You do not go in expecting it to be. It is meant to be an entertaining (and often loud) show you go to with a large group of people and can get pretty rowdy depending on the guests. Could the chef have been less sloppy? Certainly. But that's not really the point in this setting. it's more about having a fun night out with friends or coworkers where the actual cooking does not matter. The chef is often interacting with the guests directly and literally flinging food at them and making jokes too. But because Aden went alone and speaks very minimally, it just makes everything awkward and worse than it actually is. People saying the Japanese videos are more "artistic" are not wrong, but that's because they are suppose to be. This is not.
I came here to complain, but now I know better. Cheers.
You need a girlfriend bro
@@socallawrence No thanks, already have one of those. Appreciate the offer though, you're cute 😘
I'm glad you explained your feelings. It didn't look that great to me however if I was starving I would eat it
I'm a benihana chef and he could have done a lot different. They do have a standard for cooking soo this guy in trouble lol
4:10 best part
lol
😂 yea he's not the most skilled chef I've seen 😁
Hahaha
Did he make that volcano only to throw it away? I don't like that
BH is how I was introduced to teppanyaki cooking as a kid. I think of it now as McBenie's. I am so glad you shared how much better it can be from other places.
That egg was doomed the moment he rolled it down the back of the spatula
6:51 The Shrimp piece has fallen 😭
I thought I was the only one who noticed 😂😂😂
Its in the egg he dropped earlier.
Benihana job interview:
"Can you cook?"
No, not really
"Can you play the spoons?"
Yes
"When can you start?"
🤣🤣🤣
Did anyone else notice that one of the shrimp used in the rice was not cleaned properly. Didn't have poop vein removed.
Yep. The second I saw that, I had to head to the comment section. So gross.
adds more flavour bro the heck u mean
I noticed as well......sloppy prep. Maybe it's just me but over the past couple of years the whole "NYC" mystique thing has ... well .... rather be in Tokyo.
That’s considered a delicacy in most countries. Even in the states if you go to somewhere like New Orleans or a sea food hot spot in Florida it will never be taken out. I don’t like it but a lot of people do
It’s no big deal
6:15 that thing almost fell off and my dumb reflexes tried to save it lol
I hate to say it, but can definitely tell you're in the states with how this is cooked lol
Yup..I live in the states and have no desire to go to any of these ridiculous teppanyaki places lol. I would love some Japanese teppanyaki though. Excellently cooked food is far more important than a show!
With all the ridiculous clanking and clattering and onion volcanos and crap added it seems to detract from the craftsmanship of good cooking.
Happends in Japan too lol
I can always tell by the color of the eggs
All that fuss with the onion, and he just bins it?? 😂😂
some places chop and toss i in the veggies... i don't know why others bin them.
Going from watching your Japanese teppanyaki to this is just too funny. The American attributes in the cooking are too hard to hide.
Benihana is not exactly what you call a top tier restaurant, my brotha. It's a chain.
It’s the best restaurant I’ve ever had!
I had to laugh out of pity too. And felt a bit disgusted ...
@@Daswars777 At any point, did you guys really believe Teppanyaki (Read: JAPANEESE CUISINE) would be better in the US than Japan? Come on....
🧢🧢🧢
Not a different league than a japanese chief, it is a different sport.
Watching this video after all the Japanese delicacy and intimacy and masters of the Teppanyaki craft is like watching The Room the night after watching Gladiator
Japanese are neat and tidy and always cleaning, everywhere else seems to be very messy.... I won't mention the egg :))
The chef looked like someone who has the skills to do the job, but was operating with a major hangover this particular day. Also hard for my brain to get past the poop-chute in the shrimp. Come on Benihana you're better than that... or at least I remember you to be.
No theyre not. This is Americaaaaa. :D
you must not know how ridiculous the price tag is to eat in one of these XD
Benihana was better and higher quality in the 1990s and prior. Almost always Japanese chefs back then and higher quality food.
if you have been watching the news.... west coast and northeast have really gone to hell.
Wow 🤩
Awesome!!
Looks so good 👍
False
He screw the trick with the egg and wasted the onion.
and hes making hella noise
Lovely 😍
thank your for the tip
pretty much the usa experience for “teppanyaki”…Americans think it is meant to be a circus meal instead of fine dining.
Well, I just hope you were okay Mr Aden. I was actually concerned the moment that shrimp was shown 😭
was the egg ever found
Waaooww, this food is very good.
1 - 10 [ 4 ].
Thanks for the video aden yummy
if you didn't know that flaming onion is pretty much standardized American Teppanyaki... Seem like a requirement here in the states. Along with throwing shrimp around... i don't know why, just seems to be what they do.
Yum yum! 😋❤
I was just re viewing your teppanyaki at Las Vegas where you had a steak and lobster. Lol and here you are uploading a new vid! 🤗
2:05 biggest paradox in food history 🤣🤣🤣
Mama always say, don t play with the food!
Nice!
Look delicious 😋 😋 😋
You don’t get out much, do you?
@@Truth_To_Power bro just appreciate for gods sake
@@Gabriel-jg5wh We only came for the comments...
Wow! For those who can afford only bologna and peanut butter....you are a King!
That looks pretty good. The chef might need to invest in a guard rail for his grill though
Who else saw that piece of shrimp fall?
最初に炎に包まれた玉ねぎが棚に戻されるのを見て噴いた
野菜は焦げてるし、こういうの見てるとパフォーマンスはいいから真面目に焼いてくれよと思う
Not your fault, but there was too much showmanship.
Congratz on 2M subs though! 🎉
Excelent
I’ve seen loads of people here saying that the entertainment he included is all because he is in America. This is half true but I also feel that it is just the way the restaurant Benihana do things. I went to Benihana a few months ago in London, and after watching this video I was surprised to see literally the exact same tricks and entertainment stunts when I went to Benihana myself. I highly doubt that there are Benihana restaurants in Japan, and I think that Benihana do these things specifically to target people in foreign countries who don’t necessarily understand proper teppanyaki. Interesting!
Oh my how uve uploaded!
the last few uploads have been appearing really blown out for me, but the preview in the scrubby slider is normal exposure. did youtube change something recently? burning my retinas here
É mais do que simples comida, é uma arte. 😍😍😍
i like your tip
Lmao he's doing the onion volcano when it's just you there
Seems like another delicious meal :) give me more steak content lol 🤤
Ha ha who is this guy?! I love it :D
nice.... thx u
コメントしてる日本の皆さん、固定コメントの方も言及されてますがBenihanaに代表される欧米のTeppanyakiはあくまで「ショーアップ」されたモノを観に行くって感覚なので、日本の「鉄板焼き」とはそもそも種類というか属性が全然違うのです。アデンもそれを分かってて行ってるんだと思うし、コロナが落ち着いたらまた日本に来て鉄板焼きやその他のグルメを楽しんでくれると思いますよ！
Nah kalau saya udah laper benget, habis kesabaran nungguin makanannya selesai. Tapi bagus kalo buat vlog makanan. Hahah
Is this Benihana from Wolf of Wall Street?
I love Benihanas
That steak though…I had to rewatch your older Wagyu steak video to feel better lol
The whole experience in the states just feels…tacky =n=;;
2:20 Wait did he just throw away the onion volcano?
Would you eat an onion seasoned with lighter fuel?
look good
No it doesn’t
I reconsidered my decision, it looks terrible. and he also lost a piece of Mr. Shrimp. Sloppy.
The rice is flying all over the place....
A lot of unnecessary gimmicks but at the end he just moved the food on the plate away to make room for the beef. This made me laugh. This is truly canteen style serving style.
and like how the chef just moved the remaining part of the fried rice to the side of the plate, I just lost it there xD
BENNI FUCKING HANA!?!?
👍👍👍💓💓💓😋😋😋
After dropping the egg, i thought he would of made “egg drop soup” out of it…
Looks so delicious 👍🏻😊
Apparently it's safe to use the same spatula on raw meat and the rest?
I’m embarrassed by this and I’m not even American
So how much food did he get on you when he was flinging it all over the place? haha
No one mentioned he flipped the raw chicken then continued to use the spatula.
This is all so fast, loud and seems tacky. Japanese chefs are so much more delicate, truly honoring the food they make. This right here seems like a show for tourists, I don’t know. Hope it tasted good though
What else do you expect in America
You can get proper tepppenyaki in America but this was filmed at Benihana, a very generic (although quite popular) chain of a very westernized style. It’s for entertainment value more than anything else. Often you’ll see the tables with large parties for birthdays, special events, etc. kind of like a Disney world novelty.
That food is amazing I’ve only had it in MN and it was by far, THE BEST food I’ve ever had! Too bad they aren’t in MO! Nothing else compares!
🧢🧢
I believe that chicken needed another minute or so on the grill.. not sure it was done all the way!!!
After watching all of Aden’s Japanese steak house videos, the American one’s look so weak.
why didn't they devein the shrimp?
😘😘😘👍😘😘😘
우리나라 요리사들이 엄청 잘하는거구나..
This is not true teppanyaki. A Japanese chef would have spent a half an hour lining those mushrooms up in a row by size.
Difference from Japan: his cooktop is a mess while he’s cooking. And his tourist show is not that good. I’m sure the food was good (but not great).
He left the shit track in...where did they get this guy...from a shopping mall food court?
made in china
This chef was not having a good day
If it was a full table of interactive diners, the chef's performance would have been livelier. Also, even at Benihana's level of service, the shrimps should have been de-veined. Still , I thought the chef was hilarious in a deadpan kind of way.
price? fo lunch?
👍Hope it tasted good. It seems that the true artisan chefs for hibachi style are all in Japan.
It is amazing food! You will not be disappointed!
What's hibachi got to do with this?
@@monkeytennis8861, up until about 1990 ish, to me, hibachi was a small charcoal grill made from cast iron that you could buy at K-Mart for about $10. Locally in S.E. PA, we've had a half dozen of the Benihana type places open and all title their big griddle operations as "Hibachi Style" locations.
The shrimp weren’t deveined. Eww
I saw that, too.
Ewwwww. 🙄
Just bloody make my lunch and stop playin with it mate !
5:00 - Kinda ick that those shrimp weren't even de-veined!
I assume the cook is Indonesian seen from the menu and his name
No worries, I'm on the phone now with FDNY...
Hi Brother 👋 can you buy me a meal there 🤭🤭🤭
Compared to the other chefs you’ve had on your channel, this one is kinda sad.
@6:48 mans sends a little piece of shrimp flying to the floor.. RIP :(
Did you get your money back?
I love how, as in all things, japanese version of this can be defined as an art form where american version is only a cheap rip-off coated with a sloppy showmanship. Btw is it me or channel owner sounds like Bruce Wayne?
which version of Bruce Wayne?
@@daviddavidsonn3578 Christian Bale one.
Yeah the chain resturants aren't where you go... Head over to a real NYSteakhouse and film that... like Gallaghers Steakhouse or Keens Steakhouse.
Where is the egg? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ha usado la pala para coger el pollo crudo y a partir de ahí la ha usado con el resto de alimentos. Por menos se cierran locales
Dude..really?? He actually refers to it as “Yummy Sauce.” That’s legit what they call it are the grocery store. A pro would say “Japanese Mayonnaise.”
I have to say that I agree 100% with Ryan O... Different experience entirely! But the chef was a little sloppy, even for an American!
Benihana is the McDonalds of Hibachi.
Not hibachi though
My man threw away the onion volcano ;(
Why barely any oil? The flat top is bone dry.
USA #1
Wuenak eee
