We came here for my mom's birthday dinner, and and we were all so excited because we haven't had a real hibachi meal in forever! It was exactly how we remembered: multiple courses, an entertaining chef, and amazing food. We even had enough for leftovers! They also brought my mom a free brownie sundae for her birthday. I got the hibachi chicken and filet, and it was all flavorful, tender, and perfectly cooked. My only complaint is that when I received my salad, there was a hair right on the top of it that clearly wasn't mine. Our waitress apologized and brought me another one. It was definitely gross, but it was fixed quickly and everything else with our meal was perfect. Hibachi is always a treat, and Japan Inn is the best in the area in my experience. read more

Lunch menu is basic and unappetizing. Our miso soup came after we finished our entree. Depressing. read more

Cara was AMAZING - what a great and funny server!!! But seriously food was so good and great service all around

Went here for lunch for a friend's birthday. As we all know, our lunchtime can be constraint especially if you go with multiple people. We did let the staff know of the short time frame that we had to eat. The staff advised us that it would be absolutely no problem that the food made pretty quickly and we would be fine to return to work on time. They were absolutely right as the service was exceptional. The chef was hilarious and also cooked really well. We had a great time for my friend's birthday and we're able to make it back on time. Will definitely go back again. read more

"Whiskers" was our hibachi chef joining for a birthday dinner event. He was fun, charismatic and entertaining. The food came out well cooked, well portioned and extremely tasty. As apart of the Hibachi dinner experience, you get an appetizer of salad, miso soup, and your entree of rice/protein/veggies. You'll more than likely have a to go baggie by the end of the night. The average price for hibachi per person was about 30/35$ ( dependent on what protein or combination of protein you selected. ). You can have members choose something that is not a hibachi dinner and order other items instead like sushi or pad Thai. They cook and serve the rice and veggies first and then last the protein of your choice. It can be tempting to start eating the rice and veggies as you wait, I recommend to wait until your protein is ready as that is the most costly part of your meal and it's best to eat it fresh and hot!! If you're a beef/steak person, I recommend getting the Filet Mignon over the regular steak as it makes a true difference. This was my first visit to Japan Inn' Weston location as I usually go to the Sunrise location. I liked this one a bit more as it seemed more spacious, modern and the plaza it sits in is very cute and you can take a nice walk looking at the other stores and businesses. read more

On Saturday, we were at the Weston Town Center and craving sushi, so we decided to stop at Japan Inn. We were seated immediately, and the server promptly came to our table. I ordered the Tokio Roll, which was the roll that the server recommended, and it was delicious. It was a fried roll with toppings, and while both the roll and the toppings were great on their own, together they were amazing. Surprisingly, it was also quite filling. The server was attentive throughout our meal. During our time there, we saw the staff celebrating birthdays at two tables, and the way they did it was unique. They put on a fun spectacle while singing and playing the drums, but it wasn't annoying. I would definitely return. read more

Japan Inn - TOKIO ROLL - Japanese Near Me - Weston, Florida

We did hibachi, and honestly it wasn't that great. The fried rice was disappointing, everything was very salty and overcooked. What really bothered us was when we mentioned that one of my guests had a shrimp allergy -- we started noticing clear cross-contamination at the grill. That was concerning enough that we ended up calling our server over and had to order separate food from the menu just to be safe. Overall, the experience wasn't what we expected from a hibachi dinner. The staff was polite, but the quality and handling of food safety needs improvement. *** If any of you have any allergies, it's safe to order off the menu*** read more

Great service. The food is flavorful. My personal favorite was the shrimp hibachi. The restaurant was exciting. They cook the food in your face read more

If you ever get the chance to have Chef Pancho as your hibachi chef -- you're in for a treat! From the moment he started cooking, he had everyone laughing and smiling. His sense of humor and fun energy made the entire dining experience unforgettable. He kept the whole table entertained with his jokes, tricks, and perfectly timed punchlines while skillfully grilling up some of the best hibachi I've ever had. The food was amazing -- everything was cooked perfectly, seasoned just right, and served with flair. You can really tell he loves what he does and puts his heart into every plate. He made the night feel special for everyone at the table. I'd 100% recommend requesting him if you can -- he's easily the best hibachi chef we've ever had! ‍ read more

I'm currently sitting here at the restaurant as I write this review. From the beginning, the service was horrible. The bartender ignored me for the 15 mins I was waiting to get a drink. Our reservation was at 9, we didn't get seated until about 9:30 and it's now 10:10 and we still haven't started eating. My son order a tuna tartar as an appetizer, the tuna was fine but the chips, they were the round Tostitos chips and were super stale. Don't know what has happened to this place but it's definitely gone down hill. Save yourself the headache and go somewhere else. read more

Great hibachi experience. The food is enjoyable and the chefs are pros and fun. One of my go to spots in Weston!

Love this hibachi place. Reservations are recommended as it gets so busy especially on the weekends. We have always had kind servers and recently the manager went above and beyond to accommodate our 1.5 yr old daughter. They brought her practice chopsticks and ice cream. The food is always tasty and the portions are large. The ambiance is lively and it is a great place for a birthday celebration. read more

Just take a look at the photo and tell me that's supposed to be an appropriate portion for an adult man? my family and I walked into this place for Father's Day, which we thought it was going to be a good idea, but as soon as we sat down, for some reason, the server was constantly forgetting our orders for some reason? We specifically asked for no ice waters and etc. Next we have to wait until a solid 50 to 55 minutes before our actual hibachi started mind you the guy who arrived looks super tired and depressed, and he was just boring overall... When I come to eat a hibachi it's because I like to see a chef that enjoys the cooking experience and serving the people that wants to eat his food, but this dude was super depressed... once his boring performance was over and everyone got their equal share of proportions for some reason he underserved me? personally, I got the steak and scallops and in terms of protein like I understand is that's what he wants to give me small portions of, but it was pretty obvious that he also barely gave me any veggies as well? I sat there confused, wondering what in the world happened where he thought it was appropriate enough to underserve me, protein, and veggies? ALSO that actually reminds me that he went overkill with the salt even when he told him not to... gigi tried to play it off but it's awkward enough when I finished my entire plate 10 minutes before everyone else did... The chef said his name was sheem? Sounds fake but oh well. At least she tried giving us free shots... Bad service by gigi. 100% do not recommend read more

Latoya is the best bartender. The Sunset roll is so good, fresh tuna and salmon on top with Tempora in the center. Chill spot, good vibes.

I LOVE Japan Inn so much. I come here ALL the time with my friends and boyfriend and it's always delicious. Today we have a new chef named JP/Jean Pierre and he was the BEST chef I have ever had. I have been here at least 10 times in the last year and every time was amazing but JP made my experience AMAZING. he was funny, he was interactive and honestly made some DELICIOUS chicken. I love the atmosphere and the gorgeous decor. JP had these super cool fire sticks and had a whole fire show that we have never seen and it was beautiful. Sadly it was so fascinating I didn't have a chance to record but I will definitely come here again!! read more

my twin sister and I reserved for 47 people for our 50th bday celebration. we waited for 2 hours as they were short staff. the manager never came over to apologize or offer not even free drinks to our guest. when she was requested she never came to us. the place was pretty empty with 2 additional tables. half of the table waited over an hour just to recieve salad and soup. when the cook came he said that he was the bartender. I was deeply embarrassed to say the least expecting due to location this would be top service. we had many celebrations at the plantation location which is smaller but Weston was a great disappointment especially for such a great milestone celebration. the 2 waitresses tried to their best. I had family travel in from other states. when the food was finally cooked most of our guest packed it to go and some ended up leaving before the cook came because we waited for 2 hours. I would not recommend this location and for over 40 people to show up the establishment made big money. I wanted to find someone from corporate to email but could not fine anything. I was a professional high end chef for 15 years and know the behind the scenes but there was no apology or commpensation for this. We reserved 2 weeks prior and was told extra cooks would be available specifically for us and that was not the case. So disappointing. You really can't judge a book by its cover read more

They had a sign posted on the building advertising a lunch deal, but when we asked about it they said they were not offering it. The food was edible, but by no means good. It was a little dark in the restaurant. They also did not have gluten free soy sauce. The service was good otherwise. If you want good Japanese food, go somewhere else. read more

I don't know if ordering there is any better, but my experience with take out orders has consistently been disappointing. My recommendation to the owner/manager is to get a tighter crew because my orders are never ready on time, the staff all seem confused as to what they should be doing. This last experience has unfortunately made me choose to look for another option for sushi read more

A rather fun experience with just a touch of drawbacks is how I would descrbe this restaurant. if you are going for the hibachi experience, which is what I recommend, you will have a nice presentation with good food quality. The portions are large, the prices were in check and the whole staff was friendly and helpful. It's like a Benihana, so if you have been there, this is what you're going to get. I found the place a bit outdated and a slightly awkward smell in the restaurant, almost like aging carpet. There is plenty of parking and of all the Japan Inn's that I've been to, this one has been the favourite so far. It can get slightly hot inside as the air cannot keep up with the heat generated by the tables. Will get busy, especially on weekends so reservations are recommended. read more

We enjoyed the food and would probably go again, though the place was a little packed and a bit loud. Likely we just hit it at a busy time. Food was great, the waiter was helpful (a little frazzled). Wouldn't turn anyone away, will try again and update review in the future when I do. read more

I came on the wrong day because there were birthday celebrations all around and the service staff kept bumping into me doing their bid! This made the ambiance terrible. Overall the food was good. But the sitting experience was horrible! They also charged me for party of 4+ service charge when I was clearly by myself! I didn't notice until I was gone! read more

I have gone here several times to celebrate occasions. I love the food, the atmosphere and the service.

Saha was the best. Went for my father's birthday and he made us have an amazing experience. Super friendly place and the food was top notch.

Went in at 5:30pm on a Sunday night and were seated right away. We brought our 3 year old for "the show" and he absolutely loved it. Yordan was awesome, interacting with us and including my son. The food was delicious too. We hadn't been here in years. The portions are huge, and they make the best leftovers. Will definitely be back again!! Also, I had a lychee martini that was one of the best I've ever had!!! read more

We ate at Japan Inn last Friday night. My filet steak was over cooked in the hibachi order that I had requested medium rare. There was no red or pink in the meat. The female person that took our order lied to my wife about her order. My wife wanted to share her meal with her friend that was with us at dinner. My wife was advised that there would be a $10 dollar up charge for sharing by the woman that took our order. Instead of the up charge, the woman suggested that she would SAVE us money by splitting the order into two plates for my wife and friend. My wife was charged for two full plates, much more than the $10 up charge. read more

Chef Lu is THE best! My food was delicious and he entertained my pain in the butt restrictions with a smile. We'll be back soon!

I went to Japan this Saturday to celebrate my brother-in-law's birthday, but unfortunately, it turned out to be a disaster. The food was overly salty and loaded with pepper, which made it almost inedible. To make matters worse, the waiter forgot to add the chicken to our rice. The cook didn't even put on a show, and to top it off, he served different dishes to different people at our table, leading to confusion. He even forgot to give shrimp to one of the ladies. Frustrated, we spoke to the waiter, who informed us that the restaurant had recently changed management. Apparently, this new management is cutting costs by reducing the number of chefs and waiters. The service was awful, and unlike before, there was no wait to get a table, which should have been a red flag. The price is higher and less amount of food but you can get a pound of rice in each plate and if I am paying premium price i want vegetables, meat, shrimps instead of only rice. Overall, the experience was a complete disaster. read more

It's been years since I visited this restaurant even though I her up in Weston. We were seated within 5 minutes. Visited Friday at 10 pm. Parking is easy as it's located at Weston town center plenty of parking spots. They have inside dining and outside dining. They have hibachi tables; however, we went for sushi and wanted to sit outside. Anthony was our server, this guy made the review. 5 star! We ordered: Chicken fried rice: Good taste and we'll cooked. Enough to share Alaska special roll: the seaweed on top makes this roll very unique and the flavor is perfectly mixed Spicy tuna roll: a bit dry; however the tuna was super fresh! We couldn't stop eating! Flamingo roll: the. Bomb. When ordering may seem it's a bit overwhelming but for people like who like mikes flavors this was more than perfect. It's also big enough to share and worth the $17 Sapporo beer: never bad, a good add on was the chilled mug Anthony brought in all rolls with spicy Mayo and eel sauce, which surprised me because I always have to ask for those things at other restaurants. Service was more than epic! read more

Slow kitchen, sorry menu, not acomading to vegans if you're not sitting at a habachi table, and not to mention poor AC. We decided not wait a half an hour for a habachi table so we opted to sit a a regular table. It was hotter then if we would of sat at the habachi table. First we tried to order avocado eggroll the kitchen told the server they were out of avocado. Not likely! The kitchen probably didn't want to be bothered to make it. Next the menu, the menu is about half of what it use to be, so many items not on the menu any more. The do have the habachi on the menu, they charge you the same as if you were sitting at the habachi table and it not the same. It's soup or salad, not both, no shrimp appetizer, and the fried rice is pre-made, has no vegetables and barely any egg in it.. (basically rice, butter and soy sauce) This would be fine if they weren't charging the same price for habachi at a regular table. I had chicken stir fry. It was ok. I've eaten better. The chicken pad-tie at the next table looked good. Now my wife had a hard time! See order a habachi table dish, vegetable delight. It was anything but delight! It fucking sucked! No zucchini! No tofu! Barely any mushrooms or broccoli!! The rice again, my wife asked for it to be made without any eggs or butter the kitchen wouldn't do it! All they had to do was have one of the habachi tables make it for them! I've seen them do that plenty of times when we sat at the habachi table. Needless to say, my wife sent he meal back because it sucked!! It seemed as if the kitchen refused to work with our server. This is the last time we are eating there! read more
