Aoki Teppanyaki And Izakaya - Miami

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.

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.

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.

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.

I do not recommend this place. we waited about 50 minutes to go in, then let us forget the super unprofessional staff until we told them when they would serve us and an involuntary person who was cooked for us, that made eating almost uncooked. this person barely spoke throughout the process of cooking the food. we left the restaurant at 12:30 in the night, we were the last to serve, apparently they had no desire to serve us, personal wash the crooked and floor with us in the restaurant, the waiter forget everything we have ordered. I definitely don't come back to this place if they don't want to waste their money, they stay away from this restaurant. -10 stars for this restaurant. there is a restaurant called (ceviche 105) right before where they will have an amazing experience.
