Bobsie is the BEST!!!!!! We went to Japan Inn last December to celebrate my mother’s birthday. It was a very special occasion particularly because she has been spending all her time taking care of our grandmother who was sick in the hospital. It was nice to give mom a chance to enjoy herself and eat amazing food with her family. From the moment we walked in we were treated like vips. The restaurant was tastefully decorated for the holidays. It was busy but the staff was nice and we didn’t wait too long to be seated. That’s when we met the wonderful Bobsie! He was amazing!!! Professional, courteous, friendly, and a genuinely fun person to be around! He took great care of us. 2 in our party are vegan so he answered questions and made sure everything was perfect. When it came time to surprise mom with dessert, Bobsie was energetic and sung with us, the life of the party! It seems like it’s not a job for Bobsie. He is a warm caring human being that we had a chance to hang out with! My mother felt like a queen, and I want to say bravo to Bobsie for being incredible at his job and giving us outstanding service. I highly recommend you ask for Bobsie when you visit. The food was delicious, and the hospitality and service was Divine, beyond measure. Thank you so much Bobsie, for being you, for your positivity, that is what makes a difference in this world. It’s not just a restaurant, it’s not just a birthday, it’s an experience in our lives, and we shared wonderful memories that will last a lifetime! 💖❤️💕✨✨✨

Even though my family & I visited on Christmas Day, I would still recommend booking a reservation ahead of time. A LOT of people were waiting to be seated when we left around 7pm. If I was only rating Hibachi, I would give 5 stars. However, I did not have hibachi. I ordered two sushi rolls and they fell really pale in comparison to other places that I’ve enjoyed sushi at. It took about a good 20 minutes before the cook came out. Oh and if you go to a place that specializes in hibachi & you’re a small party you will be seated w another party..so make sure u go w at least 9 people. I was cold my entire time there. Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad they had great ventilation but as a heads up bring a sweater so u can enjoy yourself. The cooks are a little corny but they mean well and are very nice. The food portions were great for hibachi. The whole staff was really nice. It’s about $100 for a party of 3 so def go when you can afford it:) I would def come back for the hibachi but not the sushi.

Hibachi dining - birthday lunch for the wifey. We had a party of 4 was seated very quickly at our hibachi table. We did share the table with 1 other party but we were all seated together and it was not awkward. Our server was knowledgeable and offered lots of suggestions and upsales… For drinks I ordered the hot sake and hot teaI enjoyed it. The wifey ordered the Tokio drink. It was properly made and sufficiently strong. For our meal we ordered the Tokio roll in addition to the hibichi entree. The Tokio roll was served with a spicy creamy sauce and eel sauce. Both sauces were delicious and the roll tasted good with both of them. I had the hibachi steak and chicken the steak was cooked medium and was very flavorful! The chicken was also cooked well and was very flavorful. They always give you a generous portion and I always look forward to my left overs… Allergy note: make sure to tell the hibachi chef that there is allergies at the table so they can cook the dishes separately.

I've been going here for years, it's a local spot that my family and friends frequent; however I am now inclined to right a review because YESTERDAY THE SERVICE WAS EXCEPTIONAL! Japan Inn closes between lunch and dinner service. It was my twin daughters' 7th birthday and after having a busy day, we showed up literally 10 minutes before lunch service was over. They could have/should have told us to come back for dinner service, but instead they seated us without any hesitation! The staff was so welcoming and friendly (as usual), but what really warmed my heart is they let us have the restaurant ALL TO OURSELVES during their mid-day closing break and were super attentive! They took pictures of us, made great conversation, and kept huge smiles on our faces! We felt like celebrities and my daughters said "This is the best birthday EVER!!! " Thanks everyone! We appreciate you!!!

We have been going here for many years we had kind of stopped going for a while because they were in need of a facelift and it didn’t feel quite clean. We were very happy when we went in this time they have undergone a remodel and everything is nice and clean and new. I took my daughter and her boyfriend. We all had the hibachi chicken that came with soup, salad, shrimp appetizer and the entrée. Everything was delicious and the chef put on an entertaining show. Definitely an experience more than a dinner which was really fun. The cleaning up of the table took longer than it should’ve and was very messy. We were also given the wrong check and had to ask for the correct check which was brought to us. So for those reasons I takeoff one star but definitely recommend you check it out if you want dinner and a show.

It’s been a little over 5 years since we have been to Japan Inn and they have definitely fixed the issues that made us not come back! The Yum Yom sauce is always amazing. Between the Hibachi chef Patrick putting in a fantastic show and the food being top notch, this place is a must for Hibachi! Service from the wait staff is also extremely good. My water never empty and was always refilled extremely fast. Great job to them as well!
