Benihana in Burlingame

SF Next time you are craving sushi, you might want to consider visiting the Benihana in Burlingame.
"Benihana in Burlingame. Yup, I said Benihana. That famed chain Japanese restaurant known more for their large crowds seeking Teppanyaki actually has decent sushi. Okay, more than decent. Delicious. Exquisite. Fulfilling. A well-kept secret. I don’t know about the one in SF Japantown, but the branch in Burlingame is a haven for sushi lovers. The bar is never crowded. The sushi chefs are friendly. And the fish is utterly fresh, unbelievable for a chain restaurant, right? "

This truck is parked outside of the Best Buy on Harrison Street on the weekends, and I assume during the week as well.
