I'm deployed right now and the two places I want to eat as soon as I get home are Benihana's and Taco Bell


I've been to both places and Benihana's blows the Melting Pot out of the water.|||I live in NJ, and I must say that the Melting Pot is a great experience. I am assuming that you have not been to either yet, and although I have not been to Benihana's I have been to the Melting Pot.





The Melting Pot is a bit expensive, so I would save it for an occasion, but they have a 3 course deal that is around 60 dollars, and is a lot of food for two people.





Its nice because you get to cook it yourself in the cheese, oil, or chocolate and it just gives you a different take on dinner that you will remember for awhile.|||melting pot.


its more romantic. you sit at a table by yourself.


at bennihan's you have to share your teppan grill/ table with other people. if you choose melting pot i suggest appetizers and dessert only. it takes too long to cook the meal there. meals there usually take 2-3 hours. cheers!|||Have never been to Benihana's but The Melting Pot is good for date night but it's pretty expensive in my opinion. It's good and they have really good martini's so.....|||Melting Pot! A friend of mine went there the other day for her anniversary w/ her husband and nothing but good things to say about it!|||Neither - go somewhere that's not a chain. Somewhere unique and one of a kind.|||melting pot for its food and atmosphere.|||if those are your only 2 choices choose melting pot
