Enjoyable evening with the family

Last night our family of 5, plus 1 guest enjoyed an evening out at Aoyama. We were celebrating our 13 year old's birthday. When we have something special to celebrate, my children think of Aoyama. I'm pleased to go there because all 3 of my children will eat their vegetables (ages 23, 13, 12) when they are grilled Hibachi style. Of course this includes the Land & Sea option(meat & seafood) as the main course - about $22 per person. My husband did comment that it seems crazy to charge $3.00 per person for Hibachi style rice, as opposed to just ordering boiled/white rice. We enjoy the entertainment from the chef & audience participation. We tend to go to Aoyama quarterly for the Hibachi style because the food is fresh, served with a salad & soup, and we have come to rely on Jason's participation (we've had him most of the time as our chef). I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone!

Uneven at best

Hibatchi review:
Have been here over 10 times. Mostly decent experiences, but definetely overpriced and over salted. If you have been once it's basically the same everytime. Mainly go to entertain the kids. Food quality can vary like the experience. I suspect MSG. As for the staff. once in while they tend to get overwhelmed and over book tables forcing your "reservation" to be delayed by over hour. This can cause the staff to be rude even in front of children.

Chinese Take out review:
Have had a few times, it's average. There are better places. Prices are ok for the take out as is the food.

Best sushi

we love this place because the food is so fresh, from the hibachi to the sushi to now they have "hot pot"
my favorite sushi is the spicy salmon roll. favorite hibachi dish is the scallop, my husband loves the filet.
the service is friendly and most of the quality and freshness of the food is the best

"Great Place"

To sum this place up, FANSTASTIC!! Clean, efficient, homey, delicious food.
"I'm a believer." The freshest Sushi I had in a long time. Service is personal but not overwhelming. Give this a place a try, well worth it.
I'm originally from Boston and I'm used to great easy places to eat, this is one of those places.

Always good

we hadn't been in since last summer and always enjoyed it.
we went this past weekend being down at the cottage and it was great
the food was superb - you can tell 100% fresh and top quality food.
prices have gone up some on filet and lobster but defintely worth it!

Aoyama Great FOOD!!

This restaurant in Marshfield has been one of the hidden jewels in Massachusetts. Although the atmosphere occasionally can get a bit noisy, the food and the quality of service makes up for it. The Habachi chefs are wonderfully innovative. creative and highly personable. After arriving there, my family and I ordered from both the sushi carte as well as from the habachi table, and we found botb to be excellent. The sushi here is comparable to the sushi found in the higher end sushi restaurants in Boston, without the expensive price tag. DEFINATELY RECOMMAND THIS RESTAURANT TO ANY WHO LOVES JAPANESE CUISINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Too Fast!!

We continue to go back to Aoyama because the food is so delicious and the owner so friendly and accomodating. But it seems that they move you out like a herd of cattle. If you are at the hibatchi, they RUSH you to order. There is no time for conversation and you are ordering for a person that might be 5 minutes late because the waitress suggests that you do that. They need to let you have the full dining experience without making it so obvious that they want you out in exactly one hour. TOOOOO FAST!!!
Other than that, it is absolutely wonderful.

Great Service

We actually had great srvice at Aoyama.
Made reservations there for party of 6 at hibachi table. They were about 10 minutes late in seating us, so the manager/owner bought us all a round of drinks for the inconvenience! I have never had that happen anywhere before.

The food has been great the 3 times we have been there.

Great addition to Marshfield!

I was thrilled to find this restaurant. They serve mainly Japanese food -- hibachi, sushi, teriyaki, and tempuras. They also have a few Chinese staples like noodles and fried rice just to diversify. I was not expecting such delicious Asian food in Marshfield! We were completely delighted. The staff was friendly and efficient. The atmosphere is bright and open. We were able to take our young daughter there without any problems. They also had a small bar on the other side of the room where a couple was dining. Yum!! We will be there weekly.

Every time I go to Aoyama I have a very tasteful, unique experience. The food is always absolutely delicious and is presented in a unique fashion. The chefs are very talented and entertaining. I never knew I could love Japanese food so much. A+

foods and drinks

Hi All

My girlfriend and I went there last week on the weekend try to taste and have some foods there which doesn't taste that good and not enjoyable. The service was so lousy, no chinese food, the price tag was jack up, I seen the manager was yelling and fighting with the customers in the function room which make the customers walk out and leave the restaurants. I am not really sure what the manager name and if I don't remember wrong, his name is "Leo". Also, the bartender "Mark" is making drink was sloppy and lousy. I hope the way they treat the customers in a better ways. Thanks

Can't wait to go back

We have eaten here twice and have not been disappointed. They have turned this into a beautiful and contemporary restaurant. I think they did a wonderful job with what they had to work with. The service is outstanding. The sushi was fresh and delicious. Our meals were delicious. 3 of us ordered chicken, and 1 sword fish. The spices and sauces were good and didn't overpower the food. We had enough leftovers to take home and eat for lunch the following day.
We had attentive servers and they made sure we always comfortable and had what we wanted. The manager/owner came over and was very nice.
Next time we will eat at the hibachi.

Can't wait to go back!

I went mid-week for dinner. The staff was pleasant and attentive. The food was delicious...especially the shrimp and veg tempura. The ambiance was dull and they need more seats in the waiting area. I was happy with my overall experience and will definitely be going back soon.

Best Restaurant in Town

My husband and I have brought family and friends to Aoyama three times and everyone has raved about it. It is a fantastic addition to the town of Marshfield. The food is fresh, the staff is kind and friendly.
If you go on a weekend, with or without a reservation, plan on waiting but order one of their yummy drinks, and have good company with you ,and it won't make a difference. It will be worth the wait.

Great food, but don't go on a weekend without a reservation!

Overall, we really enjoyed Aoyama. The food was great, the service quick and polite. Sitting at the grill tables makes for a great meal and fun experience. The chefs are very entertaining and talented. The only problem we encountered was the wait for a table. I made a reservation over a week in advance for a birthday dinner for 10 people on a Saturday night, and we still had to wait 45 MINUTES in a crowded lobby with minimal seating, even though we were on time. We were on the verge of walking out the door when we were finally seated. We were told by management (who, in their defense, were very apologetic) that the delay was due to another large party that had showed up late. A couple suggestions... make the late party wait, instead of inconveniencing several other parties. Add more seating to the waiting area. Or, provide a free drink or two to those forced to wait. Besides that problem, great place!

Can't wait to go back with all our friends!

Went in for lunch on a Saturday afternoon and we were very pleasantly surprised. The staff was very friendly and seemed genuinely happy to see us. All the food we ordered (fried rice, lobster & steak, etc.) was fresh and perfectly prepared with awesome entertainment by the chef. Can't wait to eat there again.

A wonderful place to eat.

My family and I enjoyed this restaurant, we went twice in two weeks time,
the first we sat at a table the food and the wait staff were excellent,
the 2nd time around we sat at the hibachi table the chef was
entertaining and the food was excellent as well.

Overall It's not too shabby

Well first off, it's basically a different version of the Bennihana restaurant chain. So, if you've been there, more or less you've been here too. They throw a few more tricks in like making volcanos out of onions to keep the kids interested. We shared the hibachi table with a nice woman who's obnoxious kid needed to have his butt kicked up around his collar. The food was exactly as I remembered Bennihana's to be. We started with a sushi appetiser and some Japanese beer and they were both good. The restaurant is very clean. However since the clatter of chef knives, chop sticks and dinner conversation reverberates off only hard surfaces, the noise level is an a par with an average bowling alley on league night. This could easily be fixed with some drapes, upholstery and rugs or mats, even Japanese screens would muffle the noise. We had to shout at the person next to us to be heard. So, good food, average value, high marks for cleanliness, but the acoustics need some work to make it a pleasant place to eat. Not too shabby, could be easily improved.

Excellent!

The grill tables were full when we went so we had the sushi, seaweed salad and chicken lowmein at a regular table. All were extremely fresh! We are looking forward to going back soon to sit at the grill table! I would just highly recommend they dim the lights down to create a cozier atmosphere. Otherwise everything was great and we are really excited to have this new restaurant in Marshfield!!

Good food but lacks atmosphere

I went there with my daughter one evening during the week. Service was prompt and efficient. The food came quickly and was good. However the surroundings could be improved, considering the pricetag of the meal.

Review submitted on December 27th, 2006 by Ann – from Marshfield

Wonderful

I'm delighted to finally have a restaurant in Marshfield that serves great sushi. On two separate visits, the sushi was extremely fresh, and Japanese appetizers (seaweed salad, steamed shumai) very tasty. The sushi doesn't come cheap, but the prices and portions are on par with what you typically pay at sushi restaurants, and it's worth it to get high quality, fresh sushi (and without the trek into Boston). Am very much looking forward to trying the Chinese food. The servers and sushi chefs could not be more pleasant, and the chefs cooking/performing in the central grill areas appear to do a particularly great job entertaining families. Well done, Aoyama!

Love It!

I've been three times now. Once after it first opened, we sat at the grill and tried the hibachi steak and calamari, good, but a little bland. the side sauces were great to add a little extra flavor. We also shared the spicy tuna roll and shrimp and vegetable tempura. The tempura was better than the other three sushi places on the south shore too.

i've also called for takeout on two different occassions, and it is excellent. (they really need to get some low-sodium soy packets for take-out though)

all in all, great experience. awesome and attentive service and very fresh and hot (or cold) food. the owner/manager was also charming and attentive, and that says a lot about a place in my book.

great place!

One of my first times trying sushi. The staff was very attentive and helpful. The menu has many choices to offer. The sushi was delicious and beautifully presented. Very clean, nice ambiance. We will be back!

Great food but.....

If you are looking for a cozy, romantic dinner, it wasn't a good match. The dining room was bright and loud. We had the Sushi deluxe and a Chinese dish, both were delicious. I will give them a break on spotty service since they are new, if our meals are delivered 10 minutes apart or the waiter can’t distinguish between regular and low sodium soy sauce next time, it will be strike two....

For sushi fans, now you can stay in Marshfield for you fix.

A Must Try

This restaurant is fabulous! A great newcomer to the town of Marshfield. Open only 2 wks the waiting area was packed with folks waiting for tables. A must try. Choice of sushi bar, hibachi table or regular menu. Menu is both Japanese and Chinese food selections.

Great for Marshfield

Have been there three times already and loved it. The restaurant is addition to the Marshfield restaurant scene. It sure is different from what was there before, clean, open, bright and very friendly. I hope the people of Marshfield give it a try and are open to other foods than burgers,and chicken fingers. the sushi was of the highest quality and will be going to the habachi table next time in.
