Glad they can accommodate - Edit
We went here for a family celebration. I asked for the allergy/ lifestyle menu as their website suggested. I was able to order some seaweed salad & vegan sushi that was basic but tasty. There were no prices on the allergy menu, so that was confusing. The avocado roll was only $5.50, so it was quite reasonable. It was nice to be included In a family meal with minimal concern for what would be available.

Ask for the Lifestyle Menu! - Edit
There are labeled vegan menu options! Just make sure to proactively ask for the Lifestyle Menu (the staff does not offer it nor ask if you want it). Vegan options include 2 appetizers, 3 sushi rolls, 2 sides and 1 vegetable hibachi entrée.
Read moreBenihana is the ONLY fully Asian restaurant in the Mall of America that has labeled vegan menu items. One other restaurant, Crave Kitchen & Bar, has some labeled vegan Asian food, but it is a modern American menu and not fully Asian.
Benihana has a very entertaining atmosphere, both visually and audibly. There always seems to be one or more chefs cooking traditional Japanese style on a hibachi table in front of a group of people. You’ll hear the occasional tinny noise of knives and spatulas landing on the flat grill, sometimes followed by “oohs” and “ahhs” and clapping for the highly skilled chef’s performance. It’s a unique experience not soon forgotten!
VEGAN MENU ITEMS
Ask for the Lifestyle Menu which has clearly labeled vegan menu items.
Edamame (appetizer)
Seaweed Salad (appetizer)
Cucumber Roll
Avocado Roll
Vegetable Roll (not labeled vegan but the General Manager confirms it is)
Steamed Rice (side)
Benihana Salad (side)
Vegetable Hibachi (if you ask, the chef will prepare it first to ensure no cross-contamination)
