Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Sbarro at 4.7 against Benihana's 2.3. Sbarro also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (1.8K vs 58). Benihana's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
