Aoki Teppanyaki And Izakaya - Miami

Hostess was unfriendly, refused to let my wife, 2yr son, and me to sit down at a table because one other person in our party was not present and in a store checking out, even tho the restaurant was completely empty at 11:30am. Waitress was in a rush for some reason got only half our order before we had to flag her down to get the rest of our order, forgot to bring drink, I guess that what?s happens when they don?t need to work for their tip since they add 18% tip to your bill anyways. Do not recommend.

Food was good. Our chef, Javie was 5 star. The wait for our food was incredibly long. Why I am giving a 2 star review? The bathrooms were disgusting. When I pay close to 100 for a meal, including drinks, I expect a clean bathroom. The bathrooms have not had a proper cleaning in a long time. Absolutely disgusting!! The baby changing table?no words.

The food is not the only thing that keeps you coming back! From the delicious combination of the rice, veggies, and 2 choices of protein with any sauce( it is especially good with teriyaki) and yum yum sauce which makes your mouth water even thinking about it. I also was convinced into trying the bao buns. I am not exaggerating when i say it is one of the best things i have ever put in my mouth! This experience has definitely raised my expectation to any hibachi place! Aside from the very yummy food, the service was friendly and went above and beyond to make it a very memorable and great experience. I will definitely be coming back and recommend everyone to give it a try!

Tonight was my first time going and definitely the last. First a lady working with the hostess said she was going to get us a table and never came back. We waited a loooong time and finally I got tired and asked someone else to help us get a table and he did after a little while. It was a table for 2 and the restaurant wasn?t even full. All this time and the hostess is seating playing with her phone looking like she hated everything and everyone. Then the waitress was completely clueless about everything. She couldn?t answer any questions about the menu or the drinks and didn?t even try to find out. Pretty much all she would say was I don?t know. It was shocking. You would think the staff would be familiar or at least have an idea of the food served. 0 knowledge and what?s worse 0 effort. And to top it all off the restaurant automatically includes an 18% gratuity on the bill. The food was also mediocre. Never coming back and definitely do not recommend this place.

Went on a Monday afternoon 3pm. Place was empty. One table in a section. Server mainly spoke Spanish, I needed my friend to translate. The food was ok. Nothing spectacular. Food pictures look good ???? Gratuity was added on a table for 3 people? ????
