Email Whitelist Instructions

Since your ISP probably uses some type of spam filter we ask that you add us to your trusted list of senders, contacts or address book - also known as whitelisting.

If you do not see an email from Benihana in your inbox, due to the overzealous filtering by ISPs, our email may have mistakenly been sent to your spam folder. Please go to your spam folder and look for it there, open it and mark it as "not spam".

Click the link to your ISP or email client to Whitelist, from: Benihana.
