About
Benihana at Avani Pattaya Resort brings the world-famous Japanese teppanyaki experience to Pattaya's beachfront, and it does so with the theatrical flair and culinary precision that has made the Benihana brand a global institution. Situated inside the luxurious Avani Pattaya Resort on Beach Road, the restaurant offers an interactive dining format where skilled teppanyaki chefs prepare your meal on a large iron griddle right at your table — chopping, flipping, and flaming their way through a performance that is as entertaining as the food is delicious. The menu centres on premium cuts of beef, fresh seafood, and crisp seasonal vegetables, all cooked to order with Japanese seasonings and sauces. The combination of high-quality ingredients, expert preparation, and the live-cooking spectacle makes Benihana an ideal venue for celebrations, date nights, and group dinners where the experience is as important as the meal. Rated 4.7 stars on TripAdvisor from 879 reviews, it consistently ranks among the top Japanese restaurants in Pattaya. The setting inside Avani Resort is elegant and well-appointed, with attentive service that matches the upscale surroundings. Prices are at the higher end — expect to spend 1,500 to 3,000 THB per person — but for a special occasion, few restaurants in Pattaya deliver a more memorable evening. Open daily from 5:00 PM to 10:30 PM.

Sign InAs a Japanese person I'm always critical of Japanese restaurants abroad but Benihana maintains good standards. The teppanyaki is entertaining and the ingredients are fresh. Good for groups and special occasions.
Benihana never disappoints and this location is no exception. The show cooking is great fun and the food quality is excellent. The seafood combination was outstanding. Pricey but worth every baht.
The teppanyaki chef was absolutely brilliant — entertaining and skilled in equal measure. The wagyu beef was cooked perfectly and the whole experience felt very special. Perfect for a celebration dinner.
