LOVE THIS PLACE ❤️

Chirashi Lunch for<$30 and Green Tea. The best sushi Chefs in the world will tell you you can judge a sushi restaurant based on their tamago if it is made in house. The tamago here was unreal and the chirashi variety was different with a bebe squid and mushrooms and amazing unagi. Quick service too. Easily one of the best sushi places I've ever eaten anywhere. Highly recommend.

We heard amazing things about Benkay. And I do want to preface the service was exceptional. However, the food was not worth the price. The moment we sat down we knew we’d leave spending too much and hungry. The food, and cocktails, themselves were decent, just too expensive.

Rainbow roll was pretty good, spicy tuna and spider were amazing!! Alaska king salmon was super good too! Oh! Best miso soup ever!

If the presentation of the food isn’t enough, the flavor will knock it out of the park for you. The atmosphere is very welcoming and comfortable. Menu selection can be overwhelming, but speaks to their wide variety of cuisine. 10/10 service, food, drinks and cleanliness.

The place is beautiful and very calming. The staff is very sweet! Portion sizes are perfect!

When I tried sushi for the first time (many years ago) it was at Ben Kay. Little did I realize that I was lucky enough to be at the best sushi place in Maine for my first time! I always visit when I’m back in Portland, and I’m never disappointed.

Best fish I’ve ever eaten each time I go (and I grew up in a family of fishermen). Their culinary expertise truly shines in the quality of their food. The wait staff is always very sweet and provides great service. One of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to hands down, which is why we always make a point to go every time we’re in Portland.

Benkay has exceptional Sushi and service. If they have a horse mackerel as a special, I highly recommend you try it or get it.

We were thrilled not to have to wait for a table on a busy Thursday night. The service was fast, friendly, and attentive and the food was mostly great. We ordered pork gyoza, which was just okay, and three specialty rolls that were all delicious. Be warned that the volcano roll is massive, so you may only need one specialty roll per person if you order the volcano roll. I wish I had taken a picture of it, but I was too excited to eat it.
