Benihana Lunch Boat?

  • I absoloutely love Japanese food... But the calorie count I'm not quite sure about?

    The lunch boat includes

    Salad (i'll get mine w/o dressing)
    Miso Soup
    Small bowl of rice (shaped like a ball - it's the sticky rice kind)
    2 Torpedo shrimp tempura
    2 small slices of sweet potato tempura
    about a handfull of teriyaki chicken
    an orange
    4 california sushi pieces
    plain sugar snap peas
    3 pieces of sashimi (two are bright pink and one is beefy red)

    If you have ANY ideas on the calorie amount of this meal, let me know!! I've been craving it for a while!!

    Thanks!
  • You really have to break it up into its part

    Salad - negligble calories without dressing, probably 10 or so
    Miso soup - around 85
    rice - around 169
    2 shrimp tempura - around 162
    2 sweet potato tempura - around 158 calories
    teryaki chicken - around 240 calories
    an orange - I assume you mean 1/4 orange? or orange slices - around 20 calories
    4 pieces of california sushi - around 90 calories
    sugar snap peas - around 20 calories
    3 pieces of sashimi - I assume this is without any rice? This would be around 60 calories

    So total is around 1014 calories. Of course there can be variations depending on how much teriyaki chicken they give you, how much rice they give you, how much batter they use for the tempura, etc. I'd estimate at 1100 calories and that would probably be a decent estimate.
  • Awesome! Thanks so much. I was worried... lol
