Japanese Palace marks 50 years of dazzling diners in Fort Worth
It was 1975 when pioneering Fort Worth restaurateur Dave Benson opened Japanese Palace in a mysterious, windowless structure with Asian-inspired architecture at 8445 Camp Bowie Blvd. This month the iconic dining destination, loved by loyal customers for its theatrical show of Japanese tableside cooking, celebrates 50 years in business. “He was very much an innovator,” says Pam Benson, daughter of Dave who took the Japanese Palace reins when he passed in 1985. “He would always do what was on the cutting edge. He’d go to Benihana in Dallas and say, ‘We need to have a Japanese restaurant in Fort Worth.’”
Generations of Great Memories
For over 50 years, Japanese Palace has been Fort Worth’s most iconic and loved Japanese restaurant. A Fort Worth landmark since 1975, Japanese Palace features authentic Japanese teppanyaki cuisine.

Still the best!! Highly recommend but don’t be in a hurry…this great restaurant/food is not to be rushed. Give yourself 90 min for the meal after you are seated & if u don’t come early, gotta add some extra time to your total time here. Well worth it!!

We visited this place for the first time and really enjoyed it. The place is very nice, the staff was exceptionally nice, the chef was great. My kids even ate sauteed onions and peppers – that was a first, They also really enjoyed watching the chef and interacting with him. The food was very good as well. We will definitely be back and highly recommend this place.

There’s a reason why the Palace is one of the longest standing Japanese restaurants in the DFW area. I believe it opened in 1975 and has been a proud Fort Worth tradition since. Pros: excellent food, generous portions, chefs who can cook and entertain, some of the best sushi you can get in DFW without paying an arm and a leg, friendly staff…
