Ordered Japan Inn through UberEats to my work a little while ago and took advantage of their BOGO deal on several sushi rolls, which I definitely appreciated. I tried the shrimp tempura roll, JB roll, and of course a California roll. Everything was made correctly with no mistakes. The sushi was average, and the gyoza and fried rice were also average. Not bad by any means, just nothing that really made me say "wow." read more

Had a much better experience after the manager, Fernando, called me to invite me back. While I'm glad I gave them another chance, and had a great experience, I will still avoid the days that Andy is working, I'd suggest avoiding him. But definitely ask for Noi. She's wonderful! She's polite, accommodating, professional. Fernando was extremely kind and professional and also made sure our experience went well. As for a chef, I'd recommend Jose. He was nice and food came out great! read more

We had been to Japan Inn for sushi many years ago. And it was really good. Today we went for the hibachi lunch with a gift certificate from a friend. The strip mall is being renovated, so it is a bit of a mess. Nevertheless, the restaurant is easy to find in the Denny's plaza at the SW corner of University Drive and Sunrise Boulevard. There is ample parking in the lot. We were seated at a hibachi table with another couple who had a young child. Not sure if their order made ours take so long (no eggs, no lemon juice, no veggies---really? Why are you at a hibachi?), but we got our plate of food exactly one hour after being seated. We started with the mushroom soup, which was delicious and had tempura crunchies in it. Hubby had steak and scallops. I had filet mignon and scallops. My steak was definitely more tender. The chef was nice but I felt sorry for him as he tried to honor the other couple's many requests and my one ask ("cook the veggies well done please"). The food was tasty and plentiful. But we didn't have any leftovers because we were very hungry. Our server Noi was very helpful and personable. She answered a lot of my questions about the difference between the lunch and dinner meals and when I wanted to know what the crunchy stuff was in the soup (tempura). With tax and tip our lunch for two was about $53. read more

So I came here for lunch and it was actually an amazing experience. The besides the amazing food, their drink menu is top notch. I really enjoyed their sushi and fried wontons. Anthony was my server and he did an amazing job during lunch when I dined with family. The hibachi experience was so wonderful and funny. Really big space for a great party or dinner with others. Amazing art work on the walls as well and when I went for lunch it was not so busy so I got to enjoy the experience fully and comfortably. read more

Got together with friends from work & they chose Japan Inn. If u like hibachi type places where they cook the food in front of u, go somewhere else! We sat down & while talking, a small cockroach crawls out from under the hibachi to the top. We immediately had them move us to another table, but I was leery all night! Then, the table they placed us at was near their kitchen, so every time they came out with food, I had to lean forward; that's how close it was. I had the teriyaki salmon, with fried rice, & mushrooms. The salmon was dry. The food was just ok, nothing spectacular. There r plenty of hibachi style restaurants around, try somewhere else, like Benihani! read more

The noise level overall is very loud so it is a difficult place to converse but it's great for the food and show. We got a ton of food and we have lots of fried rice to eat for leftovers!

In town visiting and decided to give Japan Inn a try. We were sat immediately but was busy for a weekday night. Our server was Nathan and he was great. Very attentive and nice. The restaurant seems a little older and dark, but usual for a hibachi restaurant. We ordered the Miami Hurricane Roll along with the chicken teriyaki and steak and shrimp combo. Meal came with soup, salad and veggies and fried rice. Overall, the food was great. The sushi was good. Not a fan of the teriyaki though. It wasn't the sweet type and more of a marinade taste. Next time I would just get the hibachi chicken instead. The steak was great and seasoned well. read more

Food was ok. I was not happy about the service. We asked for a regular table. I felt like they were bothered to service us if it wasn't a hibachi order/table. We waited 25 mins for a server to come get our drink order. I was ready to get up and leave since I was really hungry and 9 months pregnant. The restaurant wasn't hot as everyone had mention but that's probably because only one hibachi grill was in use. Once we ordered the drinks, it took the server another 15/20 mins to take our food order. I'd understand if the place was packed but it wasn't. Two other servers walked by as well - more people walked in for hibachi and they had their drinks/ food orders in before us. I guess it's great for hibachi but they're not a huge fan when it's just a regular table.. Spent 2hrs here - majority of it was just waiting. Had to flag our server down to get the check. Honestly could've just walked out but we didn't. Not a fan, wouldn't take anyone here. read more

It was an early Saturday evening and my husband and I went to Japan Inn for a date night. We were seated at a hibachi table, closest to the far back left side of the restaurant. As soon as we sat down, we could feel the heat (not from the hibachi table, but from there being an issue with the AC). As I'm far along in my pregnancy, I get hot pretty easily. My husband could tell I was uncomfortable and suggested we leave. But as we both love Japan Inn, I spoke to the hostess about the heat. They brought over a large floor fan, which made it somewhat better. We probably waited a good 20 minutes before our soup and salad was served. It wasn't because the service was slow, it was because they were trying to fill up the hibachi table with more customers, so we were waiting on more customers. We weren't even the first ones seated at the hibachi table, so I could only imagine how annoyed the couple was, who was seated before us. I could also only imagine how annoyed the new customers were, who were rushed to look at the menu and place their order. Like always, the food was delicious. We both ordered the hibachi chicken and steak dinner combination, which came with a soup and a salad, a few pieces of shrimp, and fried rice. They used to serve noodles along with the dinner, but they took the noodles away without replacing it. They also raised their prices, without giving anything in addition to it. The weather was terrible outside. It was raining so hard that the rain was leaking through the ceiling and onto our table. If we were still eating, I would of brought it to their attention and requested we be compensated for it. But we were finished eating and were waiting on our check. Japan Inn has undergone new owners and new management. But they haven't made any changes to their outdated restaurant. The is a laundry list of things they should/could do to make their restaurant nicer. The AC needs to be repaired, the ceiling needs to be repaired, they need to get rid of their floor fans, the carpet is old and dingy, the curtains to get to the to the restroom are outdated, etc. I'd honestly be surprised if they were never on Dirty Dining, as the most recent issue with the AC not working and the rain coming through the ceiling, should of made the restaurant close down. It's a real shame as we've been loyal customers to Japan Inn for 20 plus years. read more

The eatery was buzzing on a Saturday evening with its modernly decorated dining room constantly filling up. Seating about 80, it also sports a sushi bar. Our server, Jensen, provided great service and excellent suggestions. I had an otoro version of a margarita. It came with sugar on the rim. Not to my liking. We ordered the coconut rock shrimp appetizer that came with large, meaty shrimp and a great dipping sauce. But the shrimp had no flavor and was very bland. We also had the tuna crispy rice. The presentation was lovely. But the appetizer was underwhelming. For dinner we had the cucumber skin roll with tuna, salmon, and a avocado. Again, a beautiful presentation with tuna that melted in your mouth. But again, not impressive. The standout was the curry udon with chicken katsu; thick, meaty udon noodles; and a delectable curry sauce so good I slurped up each drop. Of course we had to try the pandan creme brulee and the ube flan. The latter being the better of the two desserts. Dinner for two with 1 alcoholic drink, 2 appetizers, 2 entrees, 2 desserts, tax, and tip was $128.

I had a great time the first time, and yep it's still that girl. Let's talk about the vibe real quick. The ambiance is everything. Modern, and just really well put together. From the furniture textures to the contrast in colors it all feels super intentional but still chill. Like, they knew what they were doing when they designed this place. 10/10 on the setting alone. Let's get down to the items shall we? What We Had Drinks ____________________ + Naori Signature Drink ($15) : 8.4/10 This one's made with Pisco Berries and Triple Sec. It's a layered, fruity cocktail that's a little more complex. Personally, I prefer the Pisco Sour it's cleaner and more balanced for my taste. But if you like citrusy and berry-forward drinks, you might love this one. Again, these are my reviews based on my taste buds. You might feel differently and that's ok honey. + Espresso Martini ($16) : 9/10 Strong, chocolatey, and gets the job done. + Lychee Martini ($16) : 8.6/10 Clean and balanced. Not too sweet, just smooth and refreshing + Pisco Sour ($16) : 10/10 My fave. Fruity, with this nice cold foam on top. Pretty sure there were peach or passionfruit notes in there. So good. * Shots - We also did a round (Don Julio, I think), and it kept the vibe going. Appetizers/Entrees __________________ +Nikkei Tiradito ($19) : 10/10 Thin tuna slices with a shouyu sauce that had a little citrusy kick. I could've had another plate just for myself. +Grilled Octopus ($20) : 8.4/10 This was good! Cooked well, had a nice char. Not my favorite thing on the table, but still strong comes with Peruvian corn and potato. +Arroz Chaufa Special ($24) : 10/10 Babyyy this dish was everything. Wok-fried rice, perfectly seasoned. That filet was so tender, and the shrimp just brought it all together. Easy standing ovation for me. * Dessert - I honestly can't remember what we ordered for dessert, but it was decent. Nothing crazy. I'd give it a 7/10. Overall Experience: 10/10 Customer Service: 10/10 Would I Be Back? Without a doubt. I even told my mom about this place and I think she went a couple months ago! This establishment has been Tamied™.

RA Sushi - Plantation

We had seen the RA sushi location at Pembroke Gardens, and always thought it would be fun to visit…read more We had our chance of Mother's Day. We visited the location at Plantation Walk. We ordered sushi, salad, burger, and hibachi. Everything tasted delicious. However, everything was brought out at very different times. This made for a very awkward lunch. I was done with my entrée and my husband had hadn't been served yet. The waiter seemed overwhelmed. He was apologizing to the table next to us, and then he apologized to us as well. Seems like they were understaffed or not properly trained. This is a shame because the restaurant has a lot of potential.

Stopped in on a Saturday around lunchtime and it was pretty slow, so we were seated right away and…read moregot menus quickly. The ambiance was really nice cute spot with outdoor seating, light and airy throughout. The bar area had the windows/screens open, so it felt bright, cozy, and inviting. Definitely a vibe for a casual lunch or date. Unfortunately, the service was very slow despite it not being busy. We were told there was only one sushi chef working, which explained the delay, but it still affected the overall experience. The food itself was good the sushi rolls were flavorful and the sauces paired really well. My drink was also on point. The deviled eggs, though, were underwhelming not seasoned and just didn't hit for me. I ended up adding eel sauce, which actually made them much better... honestly something they might want to consider. Overall, decent food and a really cute atmosphere, but the slow service brings it down for me. Not writing it off completely, but for now it's a 3-star experience.

We started off dinner with Edamame and for dinner I had the queenie and honestly it was freaking amazing. It was garlicky and delicious; I could have easily consumed another plate. My husband had the Koume and he enjoyed it. We shared the pork gyozas and they were tasty. The kids had the chicken katsu with a side of white rice and they seemed pleased with it. Naturally we tasted it and the chicken was fried perfectly and the katsu sauce was yummy. If you can, try to make reservations. We got there close to 7 and thankfully only waited 5 mins but it starts to get really busy after 7:30. Service was extremely fast and we were in and out within an hour which is always lovely with children.

We followed that with the crab fried rice, intending…read moreto save some for our entrée, but it was so good we ended up eating almost all of it before the main courses arrived -- like potato chips, impossible to stop. The bulgogi was fantastic -- a little messy to eat, but absolutely worth it. The lettuce leaves provided were on the small side, making it difficult to load them with both rice and meat, but the flavor more than made up for it. My wife ordered the fish and enjoyed it very much. Keep room for the ice cream rolls, an extra special treat to finish the dinner. Our server was friendly, attentive, and provided good service throughout the meal. If you choose to dine outside, the beach view is beautiful, but be prepared for some wind -- at one point it literally blew my lettuce leaves off the table. One note on parking: valet is $60 if you want your car kept up front, which is the highest valet charge we've experienced. Restaurant validation reduces parking to $17, which is a much better option. Overall, a very enjoyable dining experience with excellent food, beautiful scenery, and service that would bring us back again.

Absolutely phenomenal meal from start to finish!…read more Service was great I ordered a Coke Zero and as soon as she opened the can she heard how flat it sounded and took it and brought me a new one right away. We ordered the crispy tuna rice, dynamite shrimp, truffle salmon roll, and beef noodles and every single dish delivered. The crispy tuna rice was perfectly crunchy on the outside with melt-in-your-mouth tuna on top, balanced beautifully with just the right amount of sauce. Easily one of the best bites of the night. The dynamite shrimp were addictive crispy, juicy, and coated in a creamy, spicy-sweet sauce that had just enough kick without overpowering the shrimp. A little hesitant at first being almost $30 but it was worth it! The truffle salmon roll was rich and buttery. The truffle flavor was subtle but elevated the salmon perfectly without being too heavy. Super fresh and beautifully presented. And the beef noodles were comforting and packed with flavor. The noodles were perfectly chewy, the beef was tender, and the sauce tied everything together with a deep, savory richness. On top of the amazing food, the presentation was gorgeous and the atmosphere was warm and stylish perfect for a date night or dinner with friends. Can't wait to come back and try more of the menu.

The setting in Bal Harbour is beautiful, very polished but still relaxed. It's definitely the kind of place you go for a nice dinner where you want things to feel a little elevated without being stuffy. Service was solid overall--attentive and professional, though at times it felt a bit rushed, like they were trying to keep the pace moving more than letting you fully enjoy the experience. Food-wise, there's a lot to love. The sushi was fresh and well-executed, and some dishes really stood out with great flavor and presentation. That said, a couple of items felt a bit underwhelming compared to the price point--good, but not quite memorable. Portions also lean on the smaller side, so it can add up quickly. All in all, it's a great spot with a cool vibe and very good food. Not flawless, but definitely worth going--especially if you're in the area and want a stylish dinner with consistently good quality.
