Great experience today, as always. My family and I went at about 4 p.m. and there was no wait to be seated. Our cook was awesome and our server was outstanding and very attentive. I have been here on many occasions and they never disappoint, even when they are busy. Everything is always cooked to perfection, and everyone is always so friendly. I highly recommend this restaurant. It will always be one of my favorites.
This facility is right in the middle of some of the best hotels on Waikiki Beach ⛱️. Prices are appropriate for the dining area. The tuna steaks were very thick and the garlic rice was pleasing to the plate.
The food—EXCELLENT. Our waiter, Jack, and chef, Rey, were attentive and entertaining, respectively. And being right near the beach for the Friday night weekly fireworks at the nearby Hilton was perfect. If you are a group of 4 or more, you definitely need reservations, but since there were only two of us, we snuck in to fill a table that had a family of five already at it. We did not have to wait at the prime time of 6:30pm on a Friday night. I was disappointed that we were not served the initial clear onion soup like traditional hibachi restaurants; however, pleasantly surprised that we were given an ice scream dessert choice at the end. So it all balances out! We would go again. Very good food and big servings!

We had an enjoyable family dinner here. Our Chef (John, I believe?) was very engaging and fun. Being that our 3 kids had been traveling all day, it helped keep them happy and awake enough to eat even though they were exhausted.
The food was delicious, although we really didn't eat the plethora of onions. The kim chi fried rice was well done. I split the fillet and lobster and jumbo shrimp plates with my son. It was a lot of food and we did have to take some home, but everything was delicious and he was very happy. We also had a few other steaks, including the Japanese Wagyu. My husband enjoyed it, but I'm not sure it was worth the high price tag as his cut did have a very pronounced tough piece running through the middle of the steak. My youngest had a kid's meal, and it was nice that it had corn instead of the zucchini and onions as a side. My middle child loved the strawberry banana smoothie and still says it was his favorite drink he's had in a long time.
Aside from the price we really enjoyed our meal here. We were staying at the Hale Koa Hotel, so it was an easy walk over.
Arrived in Waikiki late and was hungry Aoki was still open and there was no wait but still lots of diners. I was promptly seated, provided a menu and a glass of water. I ordered the salmon steak. It comes with a host of other small sides of veggies, steamed rice and shrimp. The food is cooked at your table. The chef is skilled and does tricks with the utensils, fun stuff. The quality of the food was well worth the price. Everything was really fresh and delicious! The host and chef were friendly.
The Whisky Hole Bar was wonderful! Top-notch service. The food was perfect, Wagyu Fried Rice and the Striploin steak were great. The Pork Gyoza as an appetizer was to die for. Mix drinks and a flight of whiskey to round out the night. Great spot to people watch and have a great meal after a day on the beach.
This restaurant is a bit pricey, but worth every penny! Our waitress never let a glass get empty, the cook was very talented and entertaining and the atmosphere is great. Food was amazing. I don’t normally give 5 stars, so definitely stop and eat here. You won’t be disappointed. * you do need to make a reservation to ensure you get a table.
The parking for the restaurant could be a challenge. There is no immediate parking. The decor is interesting. The service was very good and helpful. It is suggested to make reservation for the dinner time hours. The yeppanyaki was good. I suggest the wagyu. They do not serve sushi.
I went into this with low expectations…resort Hibachi…it’ll be the standard experience.
It was wonderful to be surprised with excellent food and service. Everything was made with flair, cooked perfectly, and well seasoned.
Prices were also very reasonable in the broader context.
All that said, highly recommend!
Great for big party, if you have at least 6 in your group you get the table to yourself. Extremely fast with service and food, friendly family environment and they can accommodate food allergies.
