    Love their hibachi experience! I have been here several times and it never disappoints. Low wait times, good service, funny chefs, and great portion sizes.

    This place is on the pricier side, but it is delicious. We had stir fry and hibachi and everything was very flavorful. The inside of the restaurant looks fun, and there appeared to be a DJ setting up which is pretty cool. Good service too.

    The best service ever was provided by our server Katia! She was super attentive and hands down the best ever! The food compared to other Hibachi restaurant ms is way better and the quality you can tell is by far better. Will definitely be returning due to the ambiance and great service I was provided.

    I had a great time at Japan In ! Visited after work for a work colleague birthday dinner and the ambiance was great, service was excellent and the food was great. I had the chicken hibachi fried rice with vegetables.

    Chicken and steak Combo Fried Rice

    Had a delicious chicken and steak fried rice. The location was nice and clean. It was busy, but the server was nice and attentive. Overall I was happy with the food and overall visit. Sat at a side table versus the hibachi and it was much faster and still delicious.

    This has to have been one of the best hibachi experiences my family and I have ever had! Im so grateful to have been able to celebrate my 18th birthday here. :) The restaurant is decorated beautifully, and has a nice ambiance. To start, we had a JB sushi roll and two krab angels orders. Both were amazing! The salmon in the sushi was very fresh, and the ragoons had a nice crunch to them. And for entrees, we all had hibachi. Our hibachi master chef, Jesus, was amazing! Super nice, funny, and he made our experience memorable. You can tell he cooks with his heart! He cooked everything perfectly!! And lastly, my family surprised me with a birthday celebratory chocolate cake. It was soo yummy Overall 100/10 would recommend!

    Krab roll

    Service was good, food was good, and the drinks are good. I had the Katsu Shrimp with steamed rice. I think the roll I had was called Crazy Krab, both were flavorful.

    Made a dinner stop in Japan inn with a party of 16 tonight. Our table was ready and waiting. We were assigned 2 different servers and cooks, and they rocked it!! The table with our younger group (aged 5 to 21) was entertained and having as good a time as the table with the older group. Our cook was incredible. Our table had one gluten allergy and 1 request for no veggies in the rice. He graciously accommodated everyone. I definitely hope you guys make it out!!

    This was our first time here and I must say it was an excellent experience!! Starting with Andres... he was AMAZING!!! We will be back soon!

    Food was really good, service a bit slow due to the large parties they had from graduation but it was understandable, ambiance very nice - drinks were really good. And I can't forget to mention our hibachi table chef was soooo funny and cordial he made our experience unique. Had such a great time I forgot to take pictures.

    Teppanyaki on Norwegian Escape was one of the best Japanese steakhouses I have experienced, with…read moresome novel tricks displayed by the grill master and including the biggest shrimp I have been served to date on a teppanyaki grill. All aspects of the meal and courses served were very professionally handled, prepared, and presented, from ordering drinks to receiving dessert. The dining room itself is composed of 8 grills that each seat 12, so 96 diners can be served simultaneously, in set seatings. Grill masters wear colorful red hats which at first glance I mistook for Santa caps. Our grill master, like the one at an adjacent grill, was very amiable and animated, and seemed to truly enjoy his job. We began with edamame and hot and thirst-quenching Miso Soup with dashi, tofu, and wakame, quickly followed by a Seaweed Salad with tasty Ginger Dressing. Then a huge portion of Garlic Fried Rice was prepared for 11 diners (only Diane opted for Steamed Rice, which accommodation was graciously granted). To the expressed amusement of all who saw it, my party observed a neighboring grill master attempt to flick an egg into his hat with a metal spatula but loft it too high, so it got stuck instead in the metal hooded vent directly overhead. This was like deja vu for me, because I observed the same result with a different grill master while cruising on the Norwegian Epic 6 years earlier--except with a grilled shrimp instead of an egg. Both grillers reacted to the misadventures good-naturedly, After another unbroken egg was capably propelled by a metal spatula into the top of our grill master's hat, and another uncooked egg was repeatedly hit up into the air like a loose paddle ball until it was speared on the edge of the spatula to crack the egg and drip its contents onto the grill below, a plastic chicken with moving hot feet suddenly appeared on the grill while at least six more eggs were cracked near it. Next, after the fried eggs were fully cooked, they were rolled together to take on the shape of an open-mouthed cobra that was poised to strike with the help of a fork deftly operated by the grill master. Then White Onion, squash, zucchini, and carrots were cooked and chopped on the grill just before proteins including raw Filet Mignon, Jumbo Shrimp, chicken breast, and large scallops were eased onto the hot grill for grilling. The hunks of medium-rare Filet I ordered were buttery and delicious, as were the shrimp, veggies, and Garlic Fried Rice. Separately poured sauces for the meat and seafood enhanced the enjoyment of the meal, as did two extra portions of Garlic Fried Rice that I was given. Diane's request for Teriyaki Sauce was cheerfully granted, and I was also supplied with two cups of hot Green Tea. Dessert was a choice of Green Tea Cake or Fresh Fruit Sashimi. I sampled the former, and found it to be a bit dry; but was greatly pleased with the latter, which included well-trimmed pieces of cantaloupe, honeydew melon, pineapple, watermelon, strawberries, and kiwi served with Coconut & Mango Dipping Sauces. Best of all, the per diner charge for the specialty dining meal just described was only $30.00 plus gratuity, a great deal by any measure!

    This was a complete breakdown of the dining experience--an absolute travesty for the Benihana brand…read moreand, frankly, embarrassing for a restaurant operating in Coral Gables. We arrived at 7:25 p.m. for a 7:30 reservation and were immediately told the wait would be another 20-30 minutes. Annoying, but we dine out enough to understand that restaurants get backed up, especially on a Saturday night. While waiting at the bar, however, it became obvious that something was very wrong. The surroundings were unkempt. Boxes were exposed around the bar, dirty glasses were piled on the counter, the bar itself was sticky, and the floors were filthy. Even more telling were the customers repeatedly getting up from their tables and coming to the bar trying to get drinks they had ordered 30+ minutes earlier. We watched at least three different people do this, all visibly frustrated. At that point, I started reading the reviews for this location. I wish I had done that before making the reservation. What we were witnessing clearly wasn't an isolated bad night. After we'd already waited 30 minutes, I asked what was causing the delay and was told that the "corporate system was overbooking the restaurant." If this were simply a technical glitch creating an unusually difficult night, I could have some sympathy. But reviews going back months describe many of the same problems. Meanwhile, tables weren't being turned. Dirty, empty tables sat uncleared while customers with reservations continued waiting. We were finally seated well over an hour after our reservation time, closer to 90 minutes after arriving. Once seated, things somehow got worse. The seats were literally taped together, the walls were dirty, and there was some sort of gross residue on my plate. Had I not been with five other people, I would have left. We ordered our food along with our drinks immediately, hoping to speed things up. It didn't matter. We waited nearly another hour for a chef to arrive at the table. Even water and lemonade took so long that, after about 30 minutes, we eventually got up ourselves to try to get our drinks. The table next to us told us they had been seated right away but waited 1 hour and 45 minutes for their chef. We repeatedly expressed our frustration to management, but instead of taking ownership of what was happening, the response felt defensive. The staff themselves seemed to be at the mercy of the conditions, and I genuinely felt bad for them. They were the ones absorbing the frustration of an entire restaurant full of unhappy customers while the operation around them appeared to be completely failing. And the cleanliness was unacceptable. The dining room was dirty, the bathrooms were inexplicably gross, and the overall condition of the restaurant was shocking. Then, around 10:45 p.m.--while our main course was still being cooked--I had to leave the table to retrieve my car because valet closed at 11:00. Had I not done so, I was told the car would be kept overnight and I would be charged $30. By the time I returned, it was after 11 p.m. Everyone in our party was exhausted. What should have been a fun Saturday-night dinner had turned into nearly four hours spent in one of the most depressing restaurant environments I can remember. I hope Benihana corporate is paying attention to the reviews of this location, because I will be contacting them directly. As someone who loves dining out and cares deeply about Coral Gables, I found the entire experience unacceptable. I also genuinely feel for the employees who have to work under these conditions and take the brunt of customers' understandable frustration. This was not a bad night caused by an overbooking glitch. The volume and consistency of similar reviews suggest a much deeper operational and managerial problem. DO NOT EAT HERE.
