ALWAYS 5 stars! We’ve been 3 times in a month-ish! We live a little south but this place is not only a deal for their excellent, extensive choices but amazing service as well! The owner is always onsite and has a very warming story about the creation of this restaurant. It truly is amazing. You receive a tablet and scroll through selecting your choices which go straight back to the kitchen. They come to your table with your fresh appetizers, fresh veggies and very fresh meats and from there you’re set to grill your heart out. If you choose to you’re also able to ask for a fresh grill after cooking each meat too! It’s promptly exchanged which is what we do between chicken, meat or seafood . It’s a great place for small or large parties! You can’t make a better decision than trying this place out and making it a regular spot to have an excellent, affordable meal or celebration!
Make sure you save room for fruits, a chocolate fountain, cookies and most importantly …. S’mores! Excellent touch!

After being welcomed by an astonishing Samurai Warrior, we were Greeted with warm smiles. Making it in for lunch at $21 each. Tons of options to choose from and the choices of sauces provides endless combinations. Can’t wait to come back for dinner!
Edit coming soon
Came back for lunch with the family but astonished to Holiday pricing at $37 ea. Valentine’s Day lunch was absolutely delicious, so here’s the rundown.
Got in at opening and waited less than 10 min. Just as before the food was amazing with even more options on the menu. The staff was too kind yet struggled with the amount of people. Not an empty seat in the house. The process to order is so easy I think it overloads the servers. We didn’t receive almost half of our orders and there were longer wait times for food due to the staggering amount of guests.
3 adults and our 12 year old $168+tip=$199
I strongly suggest coming in during the week for lunch as the value is ultimately there. Special occasions/holidays and weekends will probably be undervalued as the wait times and prices can be a difference for some. All in all, i stand on the 5 stars I’ve given. I believe this place is still young will grow to serve it’s community well.

If you’re looking for an amazing all you can eat Japanese BBQ in Indianapolis, Aka Oni AYCE is absolutely worth visiting. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is fun, modern, and perfect for a casual dinner, date night, or going out with friends.
The food is the real highlight here. They offer a great selection of fresh cuts of meat, seafood, and vegetables that you grill right at your table. Everything tasted fresh and high quality, and I loved that they provide a grill-time guide to help you cook each cut perfectly such a thoughtful touch, especially if it’s your first time doing Japanese BBQ.
The flavors were delicious, the portions generous, and the experience itself is interactive and enjoyable. On top of that, the staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything ran smoothly throughout the meal.
Overall, Aka Oni AYCE in Indianapolis delivers a great combination of quality food, fun experience, and welcoming service. Highly recommend if you’re craving Japanese BBQ, AYCE dining, or a unique grill at the table experience in Indy. I’ll definitely be back!

This is my first time here and it was good! We had AYCE fri-sun option and I think it was pretty worth it. They have beef, pork, chicken, and seafood options along with appetizers. This place has the most meat options compared to other AYCE places around Indy. So if you’re a protein person, I highly recommend this place! We tried almost all of the meat option and none of them were bad. We just prefer thinner slices cut better. And I’d say the meat tasted the best compared to other places too.
There’s also a salad bar, side dishes bar, chocolate fondue +fruits/wafers , and soft serve ice cream. Don’t bother about their drinks though. They were super watery with almost 0 flavor.
David was our server and he was great! Super polite and helpful.

I absolutely loved this. We went here with my 24 yo son and he did all the cooking because he had such a great time. The food is amazing. It’s all inclusive, and they have a huge variety of meats, seafood, vegetables etc.
You have a two hour dining limit time. But with three of us, we were finished in plenty of time.
It was such a fun experience. I enjoyed learning that the difference between Japanese barbecue and Korean barbecue is sauce. They also have several different saki flavored mixed drinks.
I definitely will be going back.

Came here for the first time and it was incredible! The meat was all amazing quality and delicious, great marbling on all the cuts and good size portions. The sauces are all homemade and taste great. The service was great and the owner was so sweet checking in on us near the end of our reservation. It is around $36/person for dinner, and even though it was a busy holiday, we got in without having to stress! Definitely worth trying out; Will be coming back soon

Very good food. If you have ever had a Korean BBQ experience it is very similar. All you can eat. Order a little at a time. Cook it. Allows you time to talk with each other and have fun. It’s an experience with food. We both tried food items we had not in the past. Before you know it you are full.

This is a must try! We went during the soft opening and everything was so good! The amount of all you can eat sides was so surprising! We had so much seafood udon and vegetable tempura. The meat was so tender and flavorful. And the desserts were our daughter’s favorites (2yo and 1yo). Hard to beat s’mores lol. We spoke to one of the managers and she was so welcoming. We will definitely be back!

Absolutely wonderful experience. Priced very reasonably and the quality is honestly 10/10. The meats are fresh and quality cuts. The beef options are fantastic. All the side dishes are fantastic as well. Don’t skip out on the matcha ice cream it is incredible and homemade. Everything is fresh. Can’t wait to come back. Thank you for the enjoyable evening.

What a great find! Was online looking for a mall when Aka Oni popped up. It sounded so good, my brother-in-law picked it for our (mine, his, my dad, and my stepmom) birthday dinner that night and it did not disappoint. Ordering was super easy using their tablets and it truly was all-you-can-eat. Such a great variety of things to order. The hangar steak was a table favorite, but there wasn’t anything we didn’t like. My favorite was the pickled radish from the salad bar. I will definitely visit again if I ever come back to Indianapolis.
Thank you for a great birthday dinner!
