    Very good relationship process-quality and an excellent service. After 5 years since I first discovered it, I am pleased to see that this place did not change the quality and passion for japanese cuisine with an authentic sfeer, nor did they give up to the shrinkflation that helaas has impacted many restaurants. Warmly recommended!

    It is a very old restaurant with a long history. But the food was very basic. I have been to teppanyaki's restaurant many times but this was far below the level I have experienced. But the owner was kind to write me a card for my birthday in Japanese which was very sweet.

    It’s a nice small Japanese Resurant, with delicious food, the only thing i would change is to hire an extra cook as one cook it a bit hard for all the tables and makes the service a bit slow. Other than i really enjoyed it.

    A time based experience since a few cooks do all the cooking. Which is fine because that gives plenty of time to talk. The flame of fire is nice and always nice for a photo moment. The food is good and well prepared.

    I recently dined at Benkei, a captivating Japanese restaurant where the art of cooking isn't just displayed, it's celebrated right before your eyes. On a serene Sunday evening, my husband and I were welcomed into an atmosphere that blended traditional Japanese aesthetics with a cozy, modern charm. The highlight of our experience was undoubtedly the 'meat mix' menu, a culinary journey that was both a visual and gustatory spectacle. The chefs at Benkei are true maestros, wielding their knives with a precision and grace that transforms cooking into a performance. Each dish was a masterpiece, from the succulent slices of steak to the tender morsels of chicken, all seasoned and cooked to perfection right at our table. The flavors were a harmonious blend of traditional Japanese techniques with a hint of innovative flair, leaving our palates delighted and craving for more. Service was impeccable, with attentive staff ensuring our evening was nothing short of perfect. The warmth and professionalism made us feel valued and well-cared for throughout our meal. In conclusion, Benkei isn't just a restaurant; it's an experience. For anyone looking to immerse themselves in the art of Japanese cuisine and enjoy a meal that tantalizes all senses, this is the place to be. A resounding 10/10 stars!

    Benkei is one of the few favourite restaurants in The Hague. We go quite often with friends and family. Weblove Japanese food and Japanese culture. Benkei is a real traditional restaurant with genuine Japanese food and service. The food is of very high quality, not like all-you-can-eat types. Here you have simple but good food. Pricea are reasonable. Service is also amazing. The owners are wanderful people and serve with great delicacy.

    For authentic Japanese food, come here! The setting is beautiful, I felt like I was back in Japan. Our main meal was cooked in front of us by the chef and all the food was delicious! They have a nice microbrewery beer which we tried, and a range of sake and whiskey, which we will try next time! The service was great, super friendly!

    You always get the highest quality of food, service and ambiance at Benkei - one of the best and most consistent restaurants I know of in The Hague. If you enjoy Teppan Yaki and/or Sushi in a REAL and AUTHENTIC traditional Japanese atmosphere, this is the place to be. And very centrally located.
