Street Hibachi: A Delicious Southeast Asian Cuisine in The Waterways

Street Hibachi, a Glatt Kosher/ORB certified restaurant serving Southeast Asian cuisine recently opened in The Waterways Shoppes in Aventura. The trendy shopping area known for its variety of retail stores, eateries and scenic waterfront views, now offers diners kosher Hibachi.

The evening I stopped in for dinner the weather was perfect and I chose to dine on the large outdoor porch that overlooks the docked yachts and Intracoastal. The seating area is covered so you can enjoy the view rain or shine. Indoors there’s plenty of space as well with a private room for special occasions and two large sectioned off areas including one that features family style Hibachi. The restaurant can accommodate up to 350 guests.

Delicious food, good service and the attentiveness of Jason (the manager) and his personable wait staff made my experience memorable.

“Street Hibachi features an extensive menu that celebrates the vibrant flavors of Southeast Asia. We offer culinary creations from a variety of cultures including Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Indian and Korean. A little bit of everything to please all tastes,” Jason said.

“To ensure an authentic dining experience, we source our kosher ingredients directly from the Far East. Our head chef is from Israel.”

Jason suggested an enticing sampling of the chef’s freshly made signature dishes for my guest and I to try.

Our sumptuous meal consisted of several selections from different ethnic cuisines: Vegetable Tempura (Sweet Potato, Baby Carrots, Portobello Mushrooms and Shishito Peppers), Chicken Gyoza (Dumplings filled with Chicken, Corn Chipotle, Lime Curry Coconut Cream and Thai Basil), Beef Buns (Steamed Buns, Slow Cooked Beef, Zasai Aioli and Korean Kimchi), Salmon CrunchyRoll (Fresh Salmon, Avocado and Masago), Sizzling Siam Half Chicken (Served on a Sizzling Rock with Ginger Sweet Potato Puree and Sake Broth), Ramen Noodle Soup with Veal (Umami Broth, Bok Choy, Corn, Soft Boiled Egg, Noodles, Nori and Shitake Mushroom) and Bibimbap – Korean Style (Served in a Hot Bowl with Jasmine Rice, Carrot, Spinach, Bean Sprouts, Mushrooms and Gojejang with a choice of either Beef, Short Ribs or Chicken).

For dessert, I tried the non-dairy cheesecake and my guest enjoyed the Chocolate Ferrero Rocher Mousse.

There are always two mashgiach on the premises.
