Aoki Teppanyaki Waikiki

Went here to celebrate an anniversaryThis place is like Benihana and actually was until Aoki took over .. if that name sounds familiar because he is a well known DJ Ie Calvin Harris etcAoki also owns Doraku Chk out my review on that page :)Anyway back to the review - food is great ! Can't go wrong with the surf n turf My favorite ! This is located at the Hilton Hawaiian village in Waikiki near Ala Moana Blvd

Extremely expensive place to eat for lunch and dinner! However, this place is a pretty good Hibachi restaurant. The show is pretty great and the people are always super nice. Goood!

Came in after getting settled into our room. It's located on the resort in the shopping area. Convenient Location if you're staying nearby. Everything nearby is certainly overpriced. This is a nice place, staff was very friendly and helpful. Came in on a Tuesday afternoon it's was pleasantly quiet. We had the entire hibachi grill and table to ourselves. Food was decent. Show was entertaining and the drinks were strong.Salad I didn't care for the dressing a bit too tangy. Cocktails are good. We had the blue Hawaiin

Our last dinner hoorah on this Hawaiian vacation!Made a reservation for 8 people and got a table against a wall away from other tables!This Teppanyaki restaurant features a live chef showmanship of cooking your food in a flat iron griddle offering a traditional as well as modern Japanese and Hawaiian dishes!!!We gave our orders and they were all cooked to our preferred taste!I ordered the fillet mignon steak which included rice and vegetables. I preferred fried rice which was cooked on the grill towards the end of the cooking of our main entree!The steak was so tender and seasoned well Dien our cook kept us entertained with his spatula and knife skills plus his cutting and cooking expertise!Everyone was so full after the ice cream dessert!!

Food: DELISH!Service: 5 star!Ambiance: Meh.AOKI Teppanyaki at the Hilton Hawaiian Village is a super fun option for a great night out. Our dinner was absolutely yummy! But this is Steve Aoki's place. The famous DJ that you find playing Hakkasan nightclub at MGM Grand in Vegas. There are several entrees on the menu with his name on it. His name is on the front door. Where was the club atmosphere? Where were the Steve Aoki touches? While everything was fun and yummy, I expected more than your regular teppanyaki joint you can find at home.Come on Steve, bring that 9th island vibe to the 808...

We actually went to The Whiskey Hole by Aoki Teppanyaki. Upon our arrival Laura greeted us with a smile and several times our conversations with her brought smiles to us. We had the Ginger Old Fashion and the Butterfly Saketini. Laura described every part of these delicious treats. She treated us as if we were family. We will be back! Free photo was offered by a third party vendor added to our special time.

We are here during our first night while staying at the Hilton Village. We love eating at hibachi grills. I made a dinner reservation for 530pm, and we were seated right away. The staff and service were excellent. They were very attentive to refilling our drinks and bringing our sides. Our chef was excellent. He was very entertaining and engaging with our children. All of the protein was cooked to perfection and perfectly seasoned. We would definitely go back here!

So good and very fun for the whole family. We went TWO nights of our vacation because we loved it so much the first time.

I came here with my husband and 2 toddlers (2 and 4). I usually hate teppanyaki but decided to go for the kids. Surprisingly, food was really tasty and service was quick! I'm so used to other teppanyaki places taking minimum 3 hours that we were pleasantly surprised with the timing. Our table was great too and we were able to have conversations with them as well. Overall, we had a great night, the kids were happy and we were happy too.

Standard Japanese hibachi steakhouse. I ordered the Filet Mignon with kimchi fried rice which was $3 extra. Not enough kimchi for me! Our chef was fun, and the nice gentleman who was at our table with his wife paid for our drinks in honor of the newlyweds from Tennessee who were also seated with us. Shade note: they order Filet mignon too but well done and the chef was like...ummmm...do all people from Tennessee like their steaks well done? Anyway, all in all the experience was not bad.
