    Wow. I have never had a worse experience. The waiter was extremely inattentive. We had to ask for refills, then when he never came back, had to ask him again for refills. Had to literally get up and walk around the restaurant to find someone to get us our check. Found our server, he goes back behind the bar and never comes back. I get up to go searching for him again and he’s texting and not working. Go up to him and he says “how can I help you” UMMMM our check!!!! My drink was trash and the food was adequate at best. It was $70 for 2 people to eat. So disappointed.

    I recommend reservations if possible as it is hibachi it takes a bit longer. We started with the God of fire roll, this was spicy but a flavorful spicey. We all did the special, wagu steak twin lobster tails. This also came with the house salad (not a fan of ginger dressing so it was ok), veggies and fried rice. The steak and lobster were definitely worth the price it was delicious and a good amount of food. I had to take some home. The old fashioned was super smooth and way too easy to drink. The Tokyo Sour was also refreshing and delicious. Unfortunately we had no room for dessert, but don't fear I will most assuredly go back and make it to dessert next time.

    Went on a Monday afternoon 3pm. Place was empty. One table in a section. Server mainly spoke Spanish, I needed my friend to translate. The food was ok. Nothing spectacular. Food pictures look good 😆 Gratuity was added on a table for 3 people? 🙄

    Food was good. Our chef, Javie was 5 star. The wait for our food was incredibly long. Why I am giving a 2 star review? The bathrooms were disgusting. When I pay close to 100 for a meal, including drinks, I expect a clean bathroom. The bathrooms have not had a proper cleaning in a long time. Absolutely disgusting!! The baby changing table…no words.

    Amazing service every time.I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the vibrant ambiance and delectable cuisine at Aoki in Miami. The impeccable service and warm hospitality provided by the attentive staff truly enhanced my dining experience. The menu offered a delightful array of flavors and expertly crafted dishes that left me impressed. Aoki undoubtedly stands out as a must-visit destination for anyone seeking an extraordinary culinary adventure.

    Location, atmosphere and Japanese food options and amenities within location highly recommended, not 100 % pleased with what I order, doesn’t mean that I will not comeback. And it does not mean that it wasn’t good. Japanese food it’s my personal favorite, I’ve enjoyed and participate this cuisine domestic in several US cities and overseas, so my personal standards are really highly (personal opinion). Menu offers several options. Thank you for the time.

    To be honest if it wasn’t for the amazing service from Gus, it would have been just like any other teppanyaki place. They were down to earth, funny and courteous. Great service all around!! Food was good too but nothing spectacular.

    Tonight was my first time going and definitely the last. First a lady working with the hostess said she was going to get us a table and never came back. We waited a loooong time and finally I got tired and asked someone else to help us get a table and he did after a little while. It was a table for 2 and the restaurant wasn’t even full. All this time and the hostess is seating playing with her phone looking like she hated everything and everyone. Then the waitress was completely clueless about everything. She couldn’t answer any questions about the menu or the drinks and didn’t even try to find out. Pretty much all she would say was I don’t know. It was shocking. You would think the staff would be familiar or at least have an idea of the food served. 0 knowledge and what’s worse 0 effort. And to top it all off the restaurant automatically includes an 18% gratuity on the bill. The food was also mediocre. Never coming back and definitely do not recommend this place.

    The food is not the only thing that keeps you coming back! From the delicious combination of the rice, veggies, and 2 choices of protein with any sauce( it is especially good with teriyaki) and yum yum sauce which makes your mouth water even thinking about it. I also was convinced into trying the bao buns. I am not exaggerating when i say it is one of the best things i have ever put in my mouth! This experience has definitely raised my expectation to any hibachi place! Aside from the very yummy food, the service was friendly and went above and beyond to make it a very memorable and great experience. I will definitely be coming back and recommend everyone to give it a try!

    Javier was an excellent server, has great communication skills and went above and beyond to make sure our experience was great. Robert was our cook and the best cook I have ever interacted with at any hibachi restaurant. He was comedic, carried the conversation naturally through the whole dinner and even recommended how to cook and eat our steak which was a great suggestion. Overall definitely would recommend Aoki over any hibachi restaurant out there

    Not so good: Not a lot of chicken options, mainly a red meat restaurant. Pricey. Using coupons is complicated. Salad bar is very limited. Silverware was not very clean. Pros: They do have a baby changing table in the ladies room. Kids prices are good. Desserts are very tasty. They have a brunch special pricing on Sunday's.

    Aoki Teppanyaki is very beautiful inside and out. The food is delicious (portion sizes were good) and the drinks are great. Service not so great, a tad bit slow. The restaurant area was pretty crowded. And if you like sushi, you must try the Hearty warrior, super tasty!!

    Hostess was unfriendly, refused to let my wife, 2yr son, and me to sit down at a table because one other person in our party was not present and in a store checking out, even tho the restaurant was completely empty at 11:30am. Waitress was in a rush for some reason got only half our order before we had to flag her down to get the rest of our order, forgot to bring drink, I guess that what’s happens when they don’t need to work for their tip since they add 18% tip to your bill anyways. Do not recommend.

    It was my first visit and I thought the place looked reminiscant of my recent trip to Japan. The menu had lots of options and various options for seating. We decided to sit at the sushi counter as it was still early in the day and it was a quiet area. I ordered the sushi plate and shrimp tempura which were both delicious. Our only issue were the small flies around the sushi prep area.

    I visited Aoki for my aunt's birthday dinner. At first impression the restaurant looked nice and inviting, but I kept my skepticism, as anyone rightly should in the competitive upscale dining market of Miami. I ordered the steak shrimp hibachi dinner combo and a couple of sakes which came out to about $90. Everything was delicious. Standouts were the steak and veggies. The fried rice could have been a little better. The cooks are friendly, some more engaging than others. Clean bathroom and clean aesthetic all around. Overall, a great experience but no strong feelings either way. Nothing hooked me and it was fine for a birthday dinner to try out. I would consider returning and suggesting to others.
