    This is a walk up and order place however they will bring your food to the table should you choose to dine in. Upon walking in we were greeted and he was so friendly. Explained the menu and helped me with my tea order. I ordered the teriyaki chicken with fried rice and a grapefruit green tea and miso soup. Hubs got the hibachi chicken with miso soup. Tea was good, refreshing. Miso soup was good, lots of flavor. The winner of the table was my teriyaki chicken. Had great flavor, was fresh and loved the veggies that were included. Good quality and fresh food. I'd return for the teriyaki chicken!

    Ginger Salad

    This is a solid staple. We are in this area twice a week. I love Asian cuisine so this was a must try. This was my second visit and two weeks apart. The first time was a dine in meal with the family. I had the Hibachi with shrimp and salmon. The serving size was perfect. Unfortunately we witness a couple who seemed to be regulars there order get messed up more than once as they dined in but the waiter/cashier made the effort to get it right but I think he should've just had it reordered. Nevertheless fast forward to two weeks later I decide to come in solo for dinner. It was a Friday around 630ish place was not busy at all. But like last time tends to pick up. I can tell its a popular spot as I sat waiting for me food this lady goes straight to the back and the guy at the register let's her know her order was not fully complete. Then I watched another person come in get her take out and say "See you next week" This time I ordered the Teriyaki Shrimp with fried rice and Crab Ragoons. Man it was pleasing to my palate. I felt like they gave me more food this time as I was not able to finish it all like last time but last time I also didn't order the Ragoons so maybe that's why. Food fresh and hot. I love the dipping sauce. I have had my share and the sweet and sour sauce at other places is like a red syrupy to sweet sauce. This sauce was yellow and like a light flavor of apricot or some fruit but it was good. I don't usually care for that white sauce at other places but this place was different. My most favorite is that ginger dressing on the salad! It was popping 2 weeks ago and the same that night. I LOVE anything ginger especially in my food. Definitely need extra for my meal next time. Definitely will visit again to try the variety of meals in their menu

    Grilled shrimp
    Boon C.

    This restaurant is Asian fusion restaurant. Affordable pricing to all people for lunch and dinner. Interior is not attractive, but the food is good. The combo at lunch special has included a drink. I got the grilled shrimp with sautéed mixed veggies with noodles. The grilled shrimp was perfectly grilled with slightly burnt edge great for the taste. The second dish is the grilled beef with fried rice and sautéed veggies. The beef qualities is good for lunch. Overall our experience is good. Definitely good to return for more.

    Hibachi Steak

    This place is good! The staff was friendly and it was a welcoming environment. The only thing hindering me from a 5 star rating is the portion of food, and taste of the noodles. Personally, I've had better noodles and the steak was kind of bland. Other than that the vegetables were cooked extremely well and had a lot of flavor. I would absolutely come again, and maybe try the fried rice next time! The Krab rangoons were also delicious and well worth it. Definitely go for the lunch special to try it.

    Beef teriyaki lunch special with fried rice
    Grace H.

    This place serves big selections of Asian food, including Boba tea, ramen noodle, poky bowls, teriyaki, and hibachi. I was not very hungry, and the price was not particular cheap, so I ordered a beef teriyaki lunch special. It included a can of soda. I got a mango juice. The food was delicious- plenty of tender beef slices and I believed the chef used strong fire stir-fry technique. The edge of the beef was fried till crunchy, which I like. Plenty of vegetable accompanied the beef. Two scoops of fried rice were also quite good- it got enough flavor, but not overwhelming by soy sauce. Decent enough service and the ambience, seating area was not fancy. Yet it was clean and acceptable. Overall, the food is delicious enough for me to come back again.

    Shrimp & Salmon Poke Bowl, Ayoki Japan, Lutz, N Tampa
    Brian M.

    Ayoki Japanese Restaurant is located in Lutz, North of Tampa off State Road 54 & Collier Parkway in a plaza next to Esporta Fitness and Sweet Frog Froyo. Ayoki serves Express Hibachi, Teriyaki, poke bowls, and tea. Food: 8/10 Kitchen Speed: 9/10 Value: 7/10 Service: N/A Ambiance: 4/10 Romantic: 3/10 Ayoki does not offer table service. You have to walk up to the counter to select your toppings, order, pay, and then you can so at whichever open table you'd like. There was 1 person in front of us and the wait was not long to order. The guy creating the orders was not too professionally dressed and had a ton of tats but he was nice. I got the Dynamite Bowl 2 scoops tempura shrimp, cucumber, avocado, green onion, mixed greens, carrot, wakame seaweed, masago, tempura flakes, and spicy mayo sauce for $15.95 which is a bit higher than average but the serving size was large and the dish was tasty. Ayoki's ambiance has an old school run down 80s vibe that makes this spot not ideal for a date. There's brown wood paneling on the walls and nasty old brown tile, ugly uncomfortable brown chairs, and no booth seating. The restaurant could use a serious renovation. The lighting is also bright and not dim or romantic. There's a lot of more modern poke spots with nicer interior decor that cost less than Ayoki. However, the serving size was pretty large and it didn't take too long to get my order.

    I got a poke bowl and my kids ordered teriyaki chicken and a hibachi combo. They liked their food. It was clean inside. Other customers eventually came in. There were no other customers during lunch time when we arrived. The cashier helped us order. Someone came out to check on us, I'm guessing the owner. She was friendly. The food was good. I'm guessing because there are a few more popular places to eat that that's why there weren't more people eating inside.

    Spicy Double Bowl and coco guava (50% sugar) drink
    Mable G.

    So happy to have a good poke place in the Land O Lakes area. I've tried a couple of other places and they don't give you much of the protein but the price would seem otherwise. Ayoki offered a lot of protein and it tasted so fresh. Please don't forget to get their delicious drinks too which goes well with the meal.

    Boba menu
    Buse C.

    Ayoki now has Boba!! And my goodness are they made to perfection. We've only tried 2 flavors so far: the Ayoki fruit tea and taro milk tea and the ayoki fruit tea is probably the best flavor Boba I've ever had. Ever. It's sweet and tart and refreshing. Just WOW.

Upon entering the restaurant it is quick service but the restaurant itself is very nice and well decorated. Not your standard bright white, plain poke restaurant. All of the ingredients are very fresh. I was a bit overwhelmed by the menu in a good way. They have so many amazing options. While we came for the poke, they also have a açaí bowl bar, hot food and even Boba. It was so hard deciding what to get because everything looked and sounded so fresh and amazing. I settled on the first and most popular menu item The Ultimate Poke Sushi Bowl. Everything included sounded delicious. I did sub the carrots for ginger and added mango. The price is only $14.99 which is amazing cause other poke restaurants charge more. What makes it even more impressing is the whopping amount of food they give you. They are not stingy on the portions by any means. In fact I had so much leftover I got to have two great meals out of it. I didn't get boba as it was late and I was just excited for dinner but I did get a fountain drink. They have stubborn soda which I love. It's made with cane sugar. The employee working was very kind. I do not live near our office but I look forward to coming back when I visit our office again or if I'm near by visiting. Excellent food.

I was especially impressed by the crab rangoon, which came with six delicious pieces and dipping sauce (more than enough for one person). I ordered the chicken hibachi for my first order and combined steak with chicken for my second order. My only complaint from the two experiences is their use of a small container everything was packed into. The vegetables are not visible in any picture but are located beneath the meat. The fried rice is subpar in my opinion. I recommend paying the small fee and substituting noodles for the rice. I paid extra to have two yum yum sauces, but was unaware that the meal included one, so I ended up with three containers of the sauce (word to the wise to only order one side of sauce if you prefer the white sauce). This is an expeditious take-out spot close to home, so I will likely continue ordering from this location.

I came here because I've…read moreheard that poke bowls were good and since this place was closest to me, I decided to give it a try. I walked in and the store was nearly empty, with only one customer ahead of me who was also a first-time customer just like me and was asking the guy questions about their sauces and etc. After a couple minutes of me waiting, another couple walked in behind me and that's when a woman came out of the kitchen to help with the line. Despite there barely being customers, the woman rushed through the interaction and was rushing me. When I wanted to ask questions (y'know to make sure I make a bowl that's actually edible), she had an attitude as if I was a bother. Any word I spoke was met with "what else. what else. what else." I was genuinely confused because obviously business is slow if they have to give a deal for a free can of soda if someone orders a bowl after 5pm. You need customers. Just from the way she handled me, it made me uncomfortable and no longer interested in trying out anything they had to offer. I ended up leaving without anything from there and went a little further down to "The Dough Show" for my lunch break and the service (and food) was excellent.
