We ordered two Maki rolls and two "supreme" rolls including the incredible Volcano roll. This towering dish had a great blend of tempura scallops and veggies with a nice spicy sauce and rolls with avocado. All of the...

My friend and I visited Benkay on a Tuesday night. The restaurant was fairly busy, but we were able to be seated right way.

We had an assortment of items from the menu (apps, soba, sushi) and they were all very good. Casual and comfortable as well as family friendly. Price seemed reasonable for the quality.
