EXPERIENCE TEPPANYAKI
Japan Inn was established in 1990 when founders opened their first location in Plantation, FL. Since then we have been serving an extended variety of Japanese and Thai food including fresh sushi. We had the honor to be named Best Sushi Restaurant in Plantation by Hometown Herald readers.

In 2002 a second location was opened in Weston, FL, and soon enough it was voted Best Japanese Restaurant by “Best of Weston”.

Our Third location was opened in Doral, FL during the summer 2019, we plan to keep growing to share our food and entertainment with our customers all over South Florida. The Japan Inn Group also owns Kimura Japanese Steak & Seafood located in Boynton Beach, FL.

    Awful experience. Besides the fact that the building look like it was in the midst of being torn down garbage bags and ramps to get in, we still went in reservation for family birthday. Ugh. Waiter acted like it was the first time he had ever cooked hibachi… Stared up at a baseball game on tv the entire time. I’m glad he did not chop his finger off accidentally. Fan vent above our table was not working and I feel like my eyes are burnt from smoke lol . Needless to say, we will not be coming back.
