My husband and I were so sad this place closed down with no notice. I didn't even get to say goodbye to the ladies that worked there. The food there was always fresh and it was clean. Plus the ladies that worked there were sweethearts. Wish they open another one. read more

I'm gonna miss this place :( The sushi was fresh and delicious a perfect place to sit down and relax and enjoy some sushi I loved the hibachi station and the sushi bar. The staff was super friendly and nice and helpful awesome service read more

Food was ehh...skip this spot and go elsewhere. No Crab legs, $26+ per person 10 and older. I will never return, 1 plate of sushi and I felt sick. read more

Amazing service! The food looked fresh and tasted great. The customer service was fantastic they were on top of cleaning and refilling our drinks and they were such sweet souls. They even bonded with our baby boy and that was even more special. If I could give 10 star review I definitely would!! read more

If your on yelp reading reviews about this place, your doing something I wish I did before I ate here. Food was not good at all for the base price they have you pay. Food looked like it was sitting there all day and not fresh at all. Ill be the first to say that I did not have a great time in the bathroom when I got home from this restaurant. The avocados on the sushi were oxidated, which should give you an idea about how long its been sitting there in the open. Little to no options to eat. Your better off eating Panda Express which is cheaper and more fresh than this place. Hibachi? Your better off spending a little more and getting your moneys worth at a better and more traditional japanese spot. The service was bare minimum and to top it off they force you to tip, even though everyone knows its optional. It was only two of us that ate and the total came out to $50 or so. By all means, if you would like to experience low tier "Japanese food" with barely any options to choose from, please come to Aki. This place is shameless. read more

Aki Japanese Buffet - Japanese Near Me - Doral, Florida

I don't recommend it here, the food was not quality, to begin the sushi was old, the rice was dry. The hot options seemed to be from the day before, they do not replenish the food between the day. I saw craw fish sitting in dirty water which was very disturbing. Then I noticed that they had a sign stating that you'd be charged for not finishing your meal, as someone who struggles with appetite this was very anxiety inducing because some days I just get full faster then others. And lastly, they force you to tip, or at least put you in a very uncomfortable position where you can't say NO. The lady asked me 15/20/25%? And shocked, I agreed to 15 but there is nothing worth tipping for. Do not recommend!!!! read more

We were in a hurry and needed to grab lunch, but didn't want to go the fast food route. Decided that a buffet would be our best option. We stopped in at Aki. Overall, the place is clean and the staff is nice. The food did not look incredibly appetizing and the taste was OK. The sushi rice was really hard, as if it had been sitting for a long time. The orange chicken was pretty good and so was the fried wonton. Other than that, everything else was just meh. The price was very reasonable, other than having to choose between a 15%, 18%, or 20% tip, for what amounted to a soda brought to the table and one dirty plate picked up. Three star food. three star ambience, three star price. A three star buffet. read more

Aki Japanese Buffet - Spring Roll Fried Dumplings Chicken Salmon Skin Roll Spicy Tuna Roll Dynamite Roll Tuna Avocado Roll - Japanese Near Me - Doral, Florida

Sushi was not very fresh and stir fry Chinese items were sitting out too long. Overall, below avg. The habachi was pretty decent.

Forgot to add that my mom did not want to tip them because service and food were not that good, not even average. We were leaving and our waiter literally ran after us telling us that we have to give them a tip. We were like OMG who does this to their customers? Like I thought we have the right not to tip them if they didn't provide decent service lol. read more

The price is ok. But the don't have snow crab legs . I hope the get better I the will get more customers.

We went for lunch, and the food did not disappoint. We ordered some hot sake and water, and then went to the buffet. There was a lot of different types of sushi, salads, and hot food. My sister and I ate the sushi and sashimi, some tempura veggies, some spring rolls and gyosas. All were great! After, we ordered some habachi, which was cooked in front of us. Everything that we ate was fresh and delicious. I'd definitely recommend this place for lunch or dinner. read more

I wish i would have noticed the other reviews are from 2013-2016 Pretty sure I'll have food poisoning from the sashimi. Tuna looked good but after a couple Pieces i noticed pink color dripping down the plate. Came @8 pm And it was as if they had 2 of each roll that had been there from dinner at 5pm. Asked the to make a jb tempura roll which had been gone and they ignored us. Then they started to spray down the coolers which were directly in front of raw sushi and when i asked the cashier manager she was like no it's okay. dinner buffet is $22 but food poisoning is complimentary. read more

Quick way to a good, inexpensive meal. The sushi is fresh if you come for lunch or dinner hour. The hibachi is the secret star of the show. Not a place for first dates, but works well if you and the guys wanna grab a quick bite. The servers are friendly and helpful. read more

Seriously, do not bother even trying this place. The selection of food is small, everything tasted 2 days old, and some of it was inedible to the point of having to spit it out into my napkin. Used plates piled up on my table before a "server" came to take them away, and water glasses were never refilled. Upon paying the bill, I was asked if I wanted to leave 15/20/25% tip!! Biggest waste of money I can remember in many years. read more

Sorry but no just ate there and honestly with 2 people one had water other a Pepsi bill was $54. First time ever server handed me the bill and pointed to the tip amounts and stood and watched till I put an amount in. I asked where to put amount and she repeated 15, 18, or 20%. The variety is just not there tiny peel and eat shrimp probably had 20 on ice. One of the few entrees was chicken and broccoli not bad but nothing special. Hibachi was ok but very few choices. Was it bad no but not worth the price for the selection and the server thing was insane read more

Came here while on vacation and the food was amazing and the service was incredible. That vacation was 1 year ago and when we moved here we have been coming back at least 2 or 3 times a month. It's very nice and quaint and the staff go out of their way to make you comfortable and to enjoy your food. The energy is very low light and calming. The sushi chefs are behind the counter making the sushi as you take it and when a plate is empty it will be taken out of your table by the time you get back from getting more food. 10/10 Best all you can eat sushi and hibachi I have been to while living in Miami. read more

Food is fresh and delicious. Services are very good as well.first I didn't see any one stand by at hibachi station.Later staff show up. Delicious coffee mouse.dont miss it. read more

Ok new review. I recently had dinner here. How TF is it $32 for one dinner and a soft drink? This is a $15.99 buffet on its best day. Same exact buffet after 5pm is twice the price?? And the waitress points at the tip and watches you. read more

I really enjoyed my Saturday night dinner-date with my daughter. She is the one that came across it and we decided to give it a try. I'm glad we did. When we walked in they gave us masks (we had forgotten ours) and require customers to put on gloves. The staff was so nice and welcoming. The place was clean and the food was tasty. They have a good variety of sushi rolls and other foods. The food was fresh and presentable. I will come again. read more

Aki Japanese Buffet - Variety of sushi, coconut shrimp, and seaweed salad. - Japanese Near Me - Doral, Florida

In the nearly five years after my last review of this place, which is also the last time I went, I have to say nothing much has changed. Normally I wouldn't go back to a place I give a poor rating, but being across the street from my office and seeing a bunch of glowing five star reviews I figured I'd try it once more. As with my previous experience half a decade ago nothing was fresh, even though there were plenty of people in the restaurant as it was peak lunch hour, it wasn't because of low turnover. Rolls were small, mostly rice and other filler, the hot food was pretty bland as well. Service was good however, but one doesn't come to a buffet for service. I'm not sure why this place is still around, there are better choices nearby. read more

Good restaurant, not too much variety. Hibachi is one of this restaurant strongest point.

Great Seafood buffet always fresh friendly staff, we are regulars here! We love coming here, we always take our out of town guests here, its my Family's go to spot read more

Server starred at you while deciding the tips. Server did not smile during the service. Server did not take away our dirty plates while we got up and grab more food read more

Good prices and they have many choices to eat. Good place!!! The crab salad was delicious. I will be back soon

I give this place three and a half stars. The moment you walk in you don't get that sticky feeling and the walls are not greasy. The place looks nicely decorated, it's double the size of Ichiban buffet but probably the same amount of food selection. We came in at 5:30 on a Thursday for dinner and there wasn't a lot of people, so the food were ehh... It wasn't hot and I knew it was probably the left over from lunch. If you want to eat here, don't come exactly when they open, come later. The oysters didn't taste so fresh and the snow crab didn't snap so well. They didn't have hot sauce for the oysters only sriracha sauce. The only thing I enjoyed was probably the miso soup, ice cream, and the hibachi grill. It cost us $17.95 per adult. I would not drive out of my way for this place, overall it's OK nothing spectacular. read more

Hibachi was really good, service ok, sushi could be better, overall not much variety.

Ate there many times. I enjoy their sushi buffet. They even have a nice selection of desserts and fruits.

I love this place. I literally come here once a week for lunch. They already know me. The waitresses always greet me with a big happy, "Hello my friend!" I love that even though I'm a regular they don't phone in the service. A+. The food is also delicious. I mean, that's why I'm here every week. read more

My husband wanted to go back to this restaurant. So we took our friend with us to eat here. It was Thursday night and when we walked in, there were almost empty. I know since it's not busy, they really didn't fill the food much. Some food looked stale and my friend tried BBQ rib and it was too hard and dry. I tried a few stir fried food but they were not even warm. I was disappointed. Also I tried some udon but they didn't even have chopped green onions anymore. It was bit bland. Also some of the small cakes were dried up and tough too. I may try again but only on busy nights. read more

TLDR - Stretchy pants are the most suitable Aki Japanese Buffet is one of the buffets around Miami that I think has more variety than the others. It's also a lot more spread out and you don't feel cluttered with other people as you're walking through. They have a large selection of rolls, hot entrees, soups, desserts, and a hibachi station where you fill a plate with as much as you want. I like coming here alone to treat myself once in awhile and the staff here is super nice. Very happy group of people who make my time there extra pleasant. read more

Excellent food and service! Thank you so much for a wonderful dinner. Everything was fine! Special food and great Ice creams, my favorite Green Tea read more

I am not a fan of buffets but this place is a good find. The sushi looked fresh and the men making the rolls were helpful and Nice. The fried rice add tasty and not to much soy sauce. The sautéed mushroom were pretty great and they have several soups to choose from. The only thing I see a bit discouraging was the man making the stir fry. He does ask if you want sauce or what not and seems annoyed if you do ask. I would skip the dessert it really is nothing out of this world. read more
