A Florida institution, Kobe has been serving up superb Japanese cuisine for over 30 years. Altamonte Springs was where it all started, at least for the Sunshine State. The exterior is redolent with Asian influence, from the pagoda entrance to the luscious greenery. Step inside to red and black décor, and Teppanyaki chefs hard at work. It's clear they love what they do as they prepare fresh delicacies right in front of the guests’ eyes. The sushi menu here includes individual rolls or ‘sushi dinners’. These come with a generous selection of favorites including salmon, tuna and yellowtail. Or opt for a Kobe signature roll, like the ‘inside-out’ Silly Eel.

What makes Benihana one of the top names in Japanese dining? Most reviewers agree it’s the incredible level of talent shown by the Teppanyaki chefs. This ranges from knife skills to knowing exactly which part of the grill is the perfect temperature for the food they are cooking. Or maybe it’s the excellent service; friendly, patient and attentive. It’s certainly got a lot to do with the incredible quality of Japanese cuisine served here, including a delectable range of sushi and sashimi. The tuna is a melt in the mouth experience, while the vegetarian options are just as satisfying.

It’s a culinary pleasure being able to watch food prepared at the table. Guests know it’s as fresh as possible, plus they get to enjoy the flair and satisfaction of a truly skilled Teppanyaki chef. The name ‘Shogun’ refers to the Shogun-like skills of the chefs at this restaurant. Thankfully, these Shoguns only use their knives for slicing salmon and chopping chicken. Shogun now boasts a Sakura Sushi Bar, inspired by the beauty of the cherry blossom. Favorites include the spicy yet sweet Mexican shrimp, and the yellowtail Negi Hama.
