Benkay

$$$-$$$$, Japanese, Polanco

User Rating: ***** 4.7

Fodor's Review:

The silk-clad staff includes a sake sommelier in this prestigious restaurant in the Hotel Nikko. Kaiseki is the specialty, a series of small, exquisite dishes. Prices are high, but you're getting the best Japanese food in the city.

Excellent food

Posted by Shifra from Mexico City/Tokyo on 4/29/08

Benkay continues to have the freshest ingredients of any Japanese restaurants in the country thanks to being part of the Nikko-Japan Airlines group. The restaurant periodically gets bad press for being expensive, or for the service. The Sunday buffet costing $200 is an excellent value.

Posted by adriana from Mexico but live in Hawaii on 6/10/06

I´ve lived a couple years in Hawaii and over here the japanese community is huge, therefore you find lots of japanese restaurants. however I found Benkay superior in food quality, service and atmosphere. Í´ve been there several times, and every single time I´ve had an awesome culinary experience.....!
