| The Benihana in Bethesda got awful reviews. Any other great ideas? Ideally close to silver spring. |
| Benihana is really good...I would go there. There aren't really very many others around. There is a Sakura in Laurel and Germantown. There is one by Rio in Gaithersburg. Other than that I think you're out of luck. |
| We like the Sakura in Olney. |
| Benihana is fun but really expensive. |
| OP here - We went to Benihana. It definitely was fun, but the food... blah! It was definitely a one-time place. |
| You should have gone to Sakura!! |
| Ziki is ten times better than better. (it is the one in Gaithersburg) The food is better, service better and also have authentic chefs as compared to Benihana. Sushi is also good. |
| meant "ten times better than Benihana" |
