How much was it
You can actually do birthday parties at Benihana. If i were you, i would reserve a private room which can seat between 12-15 people. The kicker with the private room is that there is a spend threshold that you will have to meet.
I reserved a table for 12 for my son's party. They were very easy to work with.
Yes you can
I'm sure you can call in and make a reservation for special occasions and reserve a room but it will be costly. For my birthday, I invited a few friends and they sung Happy Birthday to me and gave me a slice of cake.
