Roky and Emily’s story began at Benihana. Emily was working as a server, and Roky was training to be a teppanyaki chef. Their eyes met almost instantly, and it wasn’t just the onion volcanoes that were sparking. Roky’s care for Emily showed from the very beginning. He was a listening ear during stressful shifts, pitched in with soups and salads during the rush, and even made fried rice for her when the day felt long. Emily quickly realized that Roky’s kindness and genuine nature set him apart from everyone else. Neither of them ever imagined that a place as chaotic as Benihana would be the backdrop for the start of their love story—but somehow, it was perfect.
