Benihana Restaurant..Help

  • It's my friend's 21st and a big group of us are going here for her b'day. Here's the weblink. Anyone know any of these foods. I'm up for anything but i need it to be within my points limit, which is 22 or probably 11 by the time i get there. I also don't mind dipping into my 35 points for the week. It's great that i have the weblink now i can preplan. Pls help me find whats yummy and good points values.. I like fish no meats.

    Thanks in advance
  • Sushi List!
    I'm looking some stuff up through eTools for you. Make sure you read the parentheses, since apparently some of these have the same name (maybe it deals with the type of roll or something) but different fish ingredients. Mostly the points are the same though. I would never eat sushi, but I never eat cooked fish so the thought of eating raw fish just makes me sick Have fun!

    Mods - maybe someone can sticky this somewhere appropriate? Its a pretty extensive list!

    4 pieces of ika (squid) nigri is 2 points

  • what is this?parentheses? Also are these pieces big? Have u ever been to this restaurant?
  • No, I was just giving you the information from eTools.

    I listed them like this:
    Kani (crab) Nigri, 4 pieces = 2 points

    So you would know that "Kani Nigri" has crab in it. I would assume that most sushi is made the same way, and that these are average sized pieces.
  • ok thanks a lot modkitten also do you know the best dessert to pick?i was gonna pick the ice cream and have a kids portion of everything.
  • I'd go with the fresh fruit! But if you really don't want fruit, I'd go with the sherbet.
