Welcome to Aoki Teppanyaki.

AOKI Teppanyaki offers a culinary experience right when customers walk through the tranquil “Inaka” (Japanese village) designed entrances. With two locations in Miami and Waikiki, the legendary restaurants are steep in tradition with a modern twist on Japanese cuisine. When seated at the large wooden tables, guests will feel the warmth and caring hospitality similar to the Japanese countryside.

This is Aoki Teppanyaki

Experience Live “Eater-tainment”

AOKI Teppanyaki withholds the legacy of “Eater-tainment” invented by Kevin Aoki’s father, Hiroaki “Rocky” Aoki, who coined the term during the 50-year long reign as the world-famous, Benihana. When guests arrive at the massive family-style “teppanyaki” (iron plate grill) tables, professionally trained chefs appear in sleek, black, samurai-inspired uniforms. The show begins as the chefs prepare each dish with a fiery, dramatic display.

Inaka Style Dining

Get a Taste of Japan’s Countryside Cuisine

Wanting to share Kevin Aoki’s experiences when visiting his grandfather’s village in Wakayama, Japan, “Inaka” (countryside) comfort foods were added to the menu in Waikiki. Customers can select from a wide range of menu items, including Chicken Gizzards, Kobe Beef, and Jidori Chicken (range-free chicken fed with all-natural ingredients), all carefully chosen from quality Japanese markets. Other specialty items in both Miami and Waikiki locations include Filet Mignon, Lobster, and A5 Wagyu beef.

Gift Cards

Give the Gift of Aoki

The motto, “Make good friends through great food,” was coined by Kevin Aoki’s Grandfather, Yunosuke Aoki, the first in the Aoki family to open a restaurant. A great way to do this is by giving an Aoki Group gift card to friends, family, and colleagues. They are easy to purchase either online or in any participating restaurant and redeemable at most Aoki Group restaurants or cafes in the United States.
