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

This restaurant is absolutely amazing. Honestly, the best of the best. Food is 100/100, service is 100/100, ambiance is 100/100/ I am truly thankful a friend of mine has recommended this restaurant to me and my family. read more

Aoki Teppanyaki - Sushi Bars Near Me - Miami, Florida

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

Have been here on two separate occasions - once for lunch and once for dinner. Neither have disappointed. The salmon and ikura donburi is SO fresh and so was the sushi. Yummy drinks too, and the restaurant itself is honestly a work of art. 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. Wishing them the best 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

The hostess gave away our table in front of us after waiting with two kids. Terrible service!

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

I really enjoy this restaurant for the food and happy hour. Have been here for several different occasions. Birthdays, happy hours, family night. The hibachi dinner spectacle is great. The kids liked it, the food was delicious and the chef was exceptional. I've frequented the place often so I have gotten to know a few of the staff members. Big shout out to Fabian the bartender in the back bar. He always remembers us. He greets us with a warm smile and friendly hello. He always gives delicious food recommendations. He is a gem to this lovely establishment. Give this a place a try. It has amazing decor and presents a fabulous menu with flawless execution. 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

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

This was my first time visiting Aoki and we came with a party of ten here were my pros /cons: Pros: our chef was very kind and accommodating. We had decent service and the restaurant is very nice inside. I appreciated the kids menu and overall the food tasted great. Cons: unfortunately I didn't keep the food down for long as I have a shellfish allergy which I notified the chef and staff of but something was definitely contaminated so I was sick and vomiting immediately after. This place gets very pricey very quick so be aware of cost when ordering. They're also not stroller friendly - I basically had to shove my kids in a corner to get everyone to fit. Not sure if we'll be back, for the price I rather keep my food down and thank goodness it wasn't worse! 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. I haven't tried the hibachi, so i can't speak to that, but the restaurant was full and flipping tables consistently. Overall, a decent place for a meal during a shopping day. read more

I always love this place. The sushi is my favorite, there's such a variety of unique and specialty rolls that I want to try every time. I love the hibachi as well. Desserts are fire too. Definitely a nice date night spot or nice family dinner. read more

This place is definitely a great spot for dinner. I've been here plenty of times and usually order the fried rice which tasted phenomenal! The drinks are really good too. I passed by here yesterday and ordered the yakiniku sushi which also tasted great. Will definitely recommend eating here for a fancy dinner night. Also if you don't have a reservation there is self seating however only 1 waiter so patience is necessary. read more

Great food. The chef sampler is definitely a must-order. The fish is very fresh and the rolls have nice portions where you aren't overwhelmed by the rice. Rice is important for sushi, and this place makes the cut. The only thing I didn't care for was the ambience, as we were told we couldn't sit in the restaurant and were placed at a table inside the mall. I felt like I wasn't even apart of the restaurant. The service was also fairly slow, but the food made up for it. read more

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

If you're from Miami you definitely know about this hibachi spot in Dadeland! This restaurant is so fun for dinner but if you're looking for the best deal go during lunch time and order the lunch duo special. The food is so yummy, just make sure you ask for the ginger sauce to go with the yum yum one, trust me it's so delicious! Also, definitely try the lychee martini!! read more

Your average hibachi with a Hawaiian twist! With most hibachis your getting a decent portion but they are not shy with the meat! Our party loved the sweet potato and sprouts addition to the veggies! Not sure why but their dumplings are not part of the menu so IF YOU SEE THIS MAKE SURE TO ORDER! Overall nice experience but do expect to wait some time from seating! Also would of loved a dessert menu that didn't consist of so much fried options! read more

Fresh sushi, authentic ambience, and exquisite service - this was all at Aoki. Patrick and Chris were so phenomenal creating unique sushi for us and having conversations about the history of Aoki. We enjoyed the lunch specialty items including the Coconut Shrimp, Aoki Trio Roll, and the Bento Box with salmon. Excellent quality, well-priced, and great atmosphere from Chris especially. Definitely coming again in the future and will try their endless Japanese options. read more

Visited here on a Saturday night around 7pm. Surprisingly there was no wait to be seated; however there was quite a wait for a chef, at least 40 mins. The food was absolutely delicious. I had the tempura shrimp for starters. Full of flavor but they were super tiny (reminded me of bagged shrimp). The quantity they provided was sufficient for an app. For main course I got the shrimp and NY strip steak combo and a free Lychee martini once you sign up for the app. The martini was pretty strong. Robert was our chef. He was very interactive and funny. read more

How underwhelming. But service was fast so there's the two stars. The miso soup was salty. The salad didn't have enough dressing and the roll I ordered had more rice than anything else. Tasted like pure rice and burned meat. Didn't have two of the desserts I wanted to ordered so I settled for tempura ice cream, joy. Good luck having a delicious meal. Oh and they include 18% tip. Mine was $6.66 :S read more

I just got out of this restaurant. This is the worse Japanese restaurant that I've been to. First the table did not have soy sauce, ginger, wasabi, so I had to ask for each one of them. Then the shrimp and vegetable tempura did not come with the shrimp tempura, so I had to ask for it. Then the tempura did not come with the tempura sauce so I had to ask for it. Then the sweet potato tempura, the sweet potato was undercooked. They came trying to take away the salad bowl when I was still working on it. The worse Japanese restaurant ever. read more

Wonderful dining experience. Once you are seated it's a sublime experience. The only complain we had was the hostess not being attentive. We were told it would be a 30 minute wait and gave our number. The restaurant got emptier and emptier and she wouldn't sit us. We waited for over an hour for a table read more

Definitely not my favorite Teppanyaki restaurant. Food lacked seasoning and was quite bland. Service was fast and we were able to get a table after a quick 15 minute wait. Our chef was very nice and had good knife skills. Prices are very similar to other Japanese teppanyaki restaurants, however the main reason for going to a restaurant is getting good food and for me, this place... needs lots of improvement. Probably will not be coming back here any time soon. read more

I ordered an Aoki mule, coconut roll, edamame, miso soup, and a god of fire roll. It was all very yummy.

My oh my! How have I not had this as take out before !! Honestly so stinking good for take out!! The sushi was beyond delicious, and their containers were beyond sturdy. In addition the chicken katsu has to be one of the best ones I've ever had. Overall, 5/5 quickeness, food, display, service, & so much more :) read more

No so good of an experience this weekend at Aoki. We had table reservations for my daughters bday at 8:15pm we arrived a little later and the manager was kind enough to accommodate us even tho I was late. Once we sat down our waiter took a long time to come take our drink orders. She also looked a little agitated and did not have the best of attitudes. I ordered an Old Fashioned that looked amazing in the picture on the menu. My wife ordered a lychee martini. Once the drinks finally arrived Emmy old fashioned looked more like whiskey with a splash of grenadine, nothing at all like the picture or the ingredients described in the menu. My wife's lychee martini did not look to appealing either. Both drinks tasted horrible. We had to return the drinks and order soda. When we ordered our food my wife ordered for me and she ordered two of the same dish, one for me and one for her, we also ordered for our children. When the salads came I was missing mine when we asked the waiter where was mine she said I was not eating that I did not order food. My wife explained that we had ordered two of the same dish, at that time the waiter began to argue that my wife did not order two, When she clearly did, the waiters attitude was very rude even rolling her eyes. Our chef finally came to the table and I just say he was great! Nelson had a great attitude and was very informative! I have been to Aoki before when they first opened and had a great time but unfortunately things have changed they are definitely not the same. I was warned by a friend not to go there but I didn't listen and went anyway. I should have listened. Food was not that great and the the drinks are definitely not good at all. If you are reading this review stay away from Aoki. There are better places. Blue Ginger and Japan Inn are my recommendations read more

We went to celebrate a birthday. Our server sat us as soon as the whole party was there. Once we sat down, our server offered water and took our drink order. I had the lychee martini and it was delicious. We did not order any appetizers because we knew that the entrees would be big. Then, our cook came and double checked our orders. He was funny, attentive and very courteous. The ambiance was very energetic and fun. Our cook was great! He cooked everything to perfection. The rice, vegetables, meat and shrimp were cooked perfectly! We did not order dessert, but they brought a dessert with a sparkler to celebrate our friend's birthday! They also sang happy birthday with drums! It was amazing and fun! I'd definitely recommend this place for lunch or dinner! read more

Worst experience!!!, sat down at table at 8:15 and nothing started happening till 9:20! The manager at 9:00 said would only take 5-10 more minutes and would bring edamame to hold us over....20mins... later ...no food and no edamame. I ended up getting an Uber and leaving, the rest of my family ended up staying and finishing dinner at 10:30. read more
