The Wagyu sliders were amazing and the drinks were delicious and tasteful. My sushi wasn't terrible but I've definitely had better! Wish the sushi had a seared finish but honestly wasn't great as well. The servers were very attentive and continuously checked on us to ensure we were having a good time. We sat in the patio and the view was beautiful with nice weather and a peaceful ambiance. Highly recommend in the cooler months of Miami! read more

I enjoyed Aoki Teppanyaki. It's not the best restaurant I've been to, but it's not the worst either. They had a great selection of Happy Hour drinks and Happy Hour sushi rolls. (See pictures below) The service was good and the restaurant look was cute. It was definitely a solid spot, but didn't stand out to me in anyway. Positively or negatively. read more

Nothing to say good about this place. The food is mediocre. We never got our house salads. We never got our edamame. We asked for cold saki. We got hot saki, and when we asked to exchange it, we never received it. We got our house salads when we're about to pay the bill. We declined. We ended up asking the waitress to take all of those items out of the bill and we left. read more

Replace the coming in Sushi. And also have a hibachi experience. Then he like three times love sitting by where they make the Sushi right there at the sushi bar. Great fried rice. I have several types. My favorite is the one with the meat. Steak is very good. Great tuna, roll, very fresh greatly sauce with the tuna. Very very delicious. Love the volcano, rose and all the temporary. But they have a lot of good specialty Rhoads. That are awesome. They also have very good teriyaki, chicken, , Tataki , and many other other chicken skewers.great drinks and awe decor read more

The Food was amazing and the nicest people there were Brandend, and Eric I love the food so much and I hope they enjoy the food and experience we have been here for 16 years now and I love it read more

Aoki Teppanyaki - Charlie is the BEST!!!! We come here VERY often and so far he's been the best chef we have ever had. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Miami, Florida

I went for brunch, and have the Oyakodon. It's rice served in a bowl, topped with a mixture of eggs, green onions and mushrooms. It was pretty good, and was a decent amount of food. Server was really nice, and music wasn't too loud. As I'm writing this review at home, I realized that as per the menu, they were suppose to give me grilled vegetables which I never got. So that's disappointing. read more

Coming to Aoki was a culinary experience that I will not forget. We came to celebrate my wife and a few other October babies' birthdays this past Sunday, and it did not disappoint. Our server, Daniel, was very nice, attentive, and made a lasting impression on us with his vast knowledge of the menu. The chef was super personable; he made sure to ask if anyone had any allergies, which was amazing since a friend of ours was allergic to shellfish. The chef was very careful not to mix the food. The show our chef put on did not disappoint at all--it was very entertaining overall. The Jidori chicken and striploin I had were very good. Usually, when you eat at Samurai or Benihana, the proteins are good, and the food leaves you satisfied. However, the food here left me speechless. That chicken and striploin were the most tender, most flavorful proteins I've had in a while. (And if you know your meat, striploin is a bit tough.) The fried rice was a smashing 10/10--no complaints about it. To end this experience, I had to try the brownie tempura with vanilla ice cream on top. Such perfection on a whole plate. I've never had this before, and it definitely exceeded my expectations. It's basically a fried brownie with ice cream. I felt the crunch, softness, and warmth of the brownie along with the cool, creamy texture of the ice cream. 100/10--it was bomb. We were surprised by the staff singing to our birthday crew and bringing complimentary ice cream. A very nice detail to end our day. Overall: For the price of everything, I think I got my money's worth. I would definitely return to try more of their amazing menu. read more

It's been a long time since we ate at Aoki located in Dadeland Mall, we decided to be brave and try it during Valentine's. After a short wait we were seated at the outside tables and not at the Hibachi tables. They had a great Valentine special which included house salad, filet mignon, shrimp, lobster tail, and their house fried rice. Our great waitress brought out two sauces for dipping and we were impressed how tasty all the food was. For dessert they brought us cheesecake tempura which is also very good with a nice crispy exterior and creamy interior. Very nice experience and surpassed my expectations. read more

Walking in the mall and decided to try this place. We sat at the sushi bar and were so glad that we did. We had a great time talking to the sushi chef Chris. The food was very well done. The restaurant looks amazing and they also have hibachi tables. The God of Fire roll was fantastic and the Kurobuta sausages were amazing. I would definitely be coming back and sit at the sushi bar to continue a fun conversation with Chris. read more

The shrimp tempura wasn't what I was used to, so it was okay. It didn't have any sauce so I dipped it in the yum yum sauce. The atmosphere is super cool and they had some good cocktails though. I did try my friend's coconut shrimp sushi roll and that was amazing!! It wasn't busy so service was good. read more

Incredible!! Delicious food and wonderful service, I got the laughing Buddha (great starter salad roll), the citrus wahoo (soooo delicious and delicate), the nigiri plate (so many big pieces of fish), the delux spicy tuna was huge and so so delicious, I also got the karaage, very good. Last but not least. I got the matcha crème brûlée. Oh my gosh this was delicious!! The ambience was wonderful, I felt immersed in a celebration of the uniqueness on japan with Tori gates, sculptures and art all around. I loved this place! read more

Soooo I'm not sure why this place has such a low rating when I'm honestly happy and satisfied with it every time I go. Every time we go, we get a little bit of everything and honestly the price for what we get is pretty good too! During lunchtime, it's pretty quiet and no wait time. They have a pretty good happy hour and lunch menu with menu items ranging from $10 to $20 per person. The staff is so friendly and the food is good every time I go! For 4 people we shared 3 appetizers, 1 sushi roll, 3 lunch specials. Total with tip was around $134. Pretty good deal if you ask me! read more

The place is so cute and full of beautiful decor you really forget You're in a mall! Super clean and had great vibes ! Every single person is smiley and happy and greets you as well as treats you like you are vip! I had the spicy tuna roll and loved it! Super good and fresh! I ordered the seafood tower which is a great portion for two ppl to share! It's two lobster tails , calamari , huge shrimp and scallops! The only thing I couldn't eat more than one bite was the lobster tails because they were soooooo salty and over seasoned it killed the rest of my palate for me... im glad I ate everything else first and saved lobster for last .. other than that it was great! I wish I mentioned my disappointment while there but we didn't wanna bother anyone because they were so sweet and catering read more

The service was horrible me and my girlfriend went there for dinner for date night I have been there many years I helped open the restaurant itself they changed everything they don't even offer the same exact price because they went cheap the meat was cheap and they won't even give me a refund because the food was horrible do not go there is a waste of money and a waste of time servers are horrible food is disgusting don't waste your heart or money on that place read more

Lunch service, relatively empty and we were seated right away. We were seated in the rear of the restaurant near the bar. Decor is nice and adequate for the space. I've been here a few times, but it is the first time reviewing. The first few times we felt the portions were small for the price and that still remains with the portions. Everything ordered was fresh and well prepared. Service was efficient and courteous. Hot green tea was very good, smooth. We had the Spicy Tuna Deluxe and the god Of Fire roll. Overall we would visit again, the portions do need to be a little bigger for the price compared to other sushi restaurants in the kendall area but the taste and quality is very good. read more

The sushi was not bad, but all other food was extremely bland, no taste. My husband agreed. Service was not great. Our lunches came with a soup or salad abd the waiter never asked which we wanted. When we asked if it came with it he looked at us and said "yes, it comes with it but do you want it? Really? If the food had been good we would have returned but we won't waste our money.

Let's admit it that part of the draw is the Teppanyaki show in the grill! I went with a friend and we were given to option to sit "just" for dinner. Don't! I don't care if there's an up charge but our chef Robert and one at an adjacent table we overhead were amazing and hilarious. We first enjoyed the mixed green salad with a delicious ginger seasoning. The greens were fresh and the dressing a mild kick. Then the show started. The eggs, the rice the scallions. My rice bowl was perfectly sticky and generous enough I had takeout for lunch this morning. Then the fire-fire-fire..the volcano onions, the grilling of delicious wagyu, chicken and mushrooms. I wasn't feeling their "yum yum sauce" (garlic mayo) but loved the spicy ginger along with the sriracha ketchup we ordered. The beef was tasty by itself, but the spicier sauces gave it an extra oomph. We didn't try desserts, but would definitely check them out again next time I'm in the mall. read more

I realize now that I have a love/hate relationship with Aoki. Service has not been consistent enough for me to earnestly give them 4 stars anymore. I'd like to start with the pros. I always enjoy my food and drinks when I visit Aoki. I also always love the decor and availability of parking at Dadeland. Now onto the reason for my updated review.... Service was definitely not there. Our waitress was Aura and although she did come fairly quickly to our table to get drink orders that was about it. She wasn't rude, but she was definitely inattentive and the other members of our party felt there was some disparity with how she treated our table versus other ones. We had another (cute) waiter named Javier who did help in compensating for her inattentiveness. I will say he was super nice and accommodating, but the members of my party were already super upset because of the absence of our primary server. I kid you not there was a party that arrived after us and had left before we had even gotten our check. Our chef was also super courteous but wasn't very entertaining which is disheartening because when getting slapped with automatic gratuity if service is inept, you want to at least feel like you're being entertained. Team could definitely benefit from more training on entertainment while cooking, even/fair distribution of good services, and de-escalation/compensatory strategies. Manager was notified and did validate my parties grievances, but that was about it. Don't feel like much was done to really alleviate things. Would not likely return unless things are rectified. read more

Me and my friend went for happy hour and tried almost all their happy hour items. I would give it a 7/10 there was some hits and misses. The drinks were 9/10. For the most part for the price it was good. Wouldn't choose items like pork buns or the tuna. The rice was really good and so were the chicken skewers. read more

Loved it. Pierre was our chef and he was great. The food was seriously so delicious. The flavors were amazing and I would definitely return. Good vibes. The servers for the drinks were a little slow but otherwise it was good. A little chilly inside (bc they are cooking!) so plan accordingly. read more

I had low expectations of this restaurant because I figured the portions would be tiny for the rather pricy menu options BUT I was pleasantly surprised when I "unwrapped" my delivery order from GrubHub. The salmon belly and hamachi kama looked PERFECT and the Geisha Roll and sashimi were top notch looking as well. How did everything taste? 10/10 no notes. I kid you not, this meal was utterly magical. Every bite transported me to MOUTHGASMIC NARNIA -- and I honestly am considering ordering this exact same meal tonight for my last dinner in Miami before I pack up and leave. So so so good. I didn't even miss SALMON SKIN (something I ALWAYS order from sushi restaurants but wasn't/isn't available from Aoki). read more

I was at dadeland mall for a day of shopping and decided to stop at Aoki for lunch! It did not disappoint! Quick service, good food at a great price! It is important to note that they have a separate menu for the Teppanyaki restaurant services and the sushi menu. I also loved the Japanese decor of the restaurant! read more

I had so much fun in this restaurant! I came here with the family to celebrate my wife's brother's birthday. The restaurant is decorated so creative and beautifully. The food is also great quality and well priced. We ordered a couple of sakes, one virgin Pina colada, a sushi roll and the wagyu steak. It was all amazing and we left so stuffed. The show was absolutely amazing. Cooked to perfection. And the tricks in the show were so unique. Usually it's the same tricks but not here. The guy was very very entertaining and the fire show was amazing. We had an amazing time and we are definitely coming back. read more

Waste of Fucking Money. Service Sucks and SUPPPER over Priced. Used to be awesome, now it's overpriced and no one speaks English...

My girlfriend and I went there on March 7th (Friday) on a whim. It was incredible. The food was fantastic. We both had the Ribeye and Lobster Tail (first time in 22 years of being together we ordered the same thing - lol) and it was wonderful Our Chef Nelson cooked and seasoned it perfectly. For $49 dollars the quality and portion size was magnificent. We had at least 1 more dinner each. The drinks were great and the wine pours were generous. The only thing we were disappointed with was that this was our first time. We've decided to go at least twice a month now. Well done!! read more

The food came out quickly and was tasty. We enjoyed our gyozas, spicy tuna rolls, and bowls. Our waitress was kind and attentive.

We were in Miami for a cruise and decided to head to the Dadeland Mall the day prior to departure. After shopping, we went to eat at Aoki. Best restaurant decision we have made in a long time. Not only was the food really good but Robert, our Teppan Chef was AMAZING!!! He was very funny, engaging, witty and genuinely engaged with everyone at the table. He had a great vibe, tricks etc. too. All families at the table became quick friends. Such a great time. Thank you to Robert and Aoki for a memorable expierence! We will be back. read more

Late post-Was there on a Monday night for a group celebration. Group of girls-Aura, the waitress, took the order. Service was awful. She forgot to bring a smoothie for someone in our party until everyone was finished with their food after asking for the smoothie several times. The drink should have be served before the chef even arrived. Aura was only serving 4 tables in the dining area and never came by NOT ONCE to check on our table. One person in the party paid cash and she brought back the receipt for everyone else from the party, went to serve TWO other tables, and then came back with her change and she refused to bring a receipt after they asked for their change back. She said she had "too much to do." She also threw her hand up in a hostile and unprofessional manner when a person from the party asked for a container for shrimp sauce. She finally told all the members of the party that a minimum of an 18% tip WAS MANDATORY or else it wasn't fair to her... read more
