Worst place ever. The chef didn’t know what he is doing. Too much salt too much soy sauce. We ordered steak and chicken fried rice. He did over cook the steak and put way too much salt. And the chicken fried rice tastes was horrible. He didn’t even made chicken fried rice. He cooked separately (rice and chicken) then put the chicken on top of the rice bowl. And He massed up all the table. I think he didn’t even practice the performance neither. He dropped two eggs on the customers table. All cracked. He used his hand to picked up the cracked egg and put them on the pan to cook for us. It was kind of comedy show. Very expensive horrible taste comedy show. I paid it for $250.00 for all of my family. Don’t go this place. Don’t waste your money. Just go to ABC mart to by Musubi (around $3). Way better than this unnecessary expensive restaurant.
We had an amazing experience at Aoki. Mikey was our chef and he didn't disappoint with the great cooking and quick comebacks. He was truly engaging and the food was so flavorful. Thank you for a memorable anniversary supper with family.
Stopped by this little gem...got seated promptly, place is very lean and organized. Ordered up some drinks and they were great. Very colorful and flavorful butvif that's not your thing, big list of alcohol to choose from. Ordered the filet mignon with veggies and fried rice and some prawns. Fantastic! Jun was our chef and he was excellent! Top notch guy fur sure who's got a great personality and skill. I highly recommend this place.
This restaurant was definitely worth the experience! The little 'performance' the chef put on was amazing. The food and drinks were great! I definitely recommend coming here with friends or family!
The chef was excellent in preparing the food. We had a family with young children seated with us in our table and he was able to connect with them and with us. A little bit pricey - no surprise there, it being located inside the Hilton Hawaiian Village.
The staffs were really nice and friendly.But because of they had too much guests at that time the serving time was so slow, the food is so so.
The cook was fantastic. The chicken was great according to my wife and kids. Steak needed some seasoning. Price was to be expected. Service was great always there to help you and keep your drinks full. Good place to relax and eat
Attentive, professional service; classic teppanyaki ambiance; fantastic chef who was fun and humorous; a bit disappointed the original Benihana menu replaced with new combos not quite as robust and a bit more pricey when paired; the shrimp and steak perfect, but the chicken not so much - and a different kind then original Benihana’s. Drinks always great; expensive but worth a visit when staying at the Hilton Hawaiaan Village.
Wanted to have a little fun during our staycation in Waikiki. Decided to check out the new Aoki Teppanyaki and had a great time with the entire family. Great service, good and entertaining chef. Splurge on the Wagyu steak if you’re in the mood. The salmon and other steaks are ono too. Have fun. ??
Over the years this location has changed names from Benihana to Rocky’s to now Aoki. And, although the menu has changed, the quality has still remained very high. Our chef was kind and funny, performing the staples of teppanyaki (onion volcano, knife tricks, etc) to perfection.
