If you want great tasting sushi, it's gonna be overpriced, especially with the current state of affairs. I don't understand why people expect to go out to eat and pay Publix sushi prices. That's not what is served here. I come here frequently with my partner and never dissatisfied. If you're upset about the price point, sign up for their loyalty program and it pays off. I love the fried rice here, I dream of it and whenever I come to Sarasota, I always stop by. The sushi chefs and staff are always really nice and they do have an outside patio. Space is very ample inside. We tried the tempura cheesecake last week and it was out of this world good. *I incorrectly posted this review for the University location. read more

I have been frequenting this restaurant for at least the last 3 to 4 years. There's never been one single time that the food has been subpar. The service has always been extremely friendly and attentive. It's a lot bigger inside than it looks, so there is plenty of seating for small parties or big groups. It's got a great vibe, mood lighting, and some amazing sushi chefs! They even have some outdoor seating and you can order to-go, and the fresh freshness is just as amazing! read more

This was a great discovery on our vacation. Clean, modern and very fresh. Aki, Carey you made our visit delightful. We loved your place so much that on our 5 day trip we came in twice. Everything was fresh and delicious but you were also very friendly and welcoming. We will certainly return in the future. read more

Jpan Sushi & Grill - Delicious!!! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

I drove from Fort Myers to Sarasota for a doctor's appointment. This was my third visit. I'd noticed this restaurant across the street but I wasn't feeling well enough to give this place a try after my last two visits. Today was the day. I was greeted with extremely warm smiles by everyone and seated promptly. I ordered the Sashimi combo lunch special. Fresh, tasty, and sliced just right. I hate when it's sliced too thick. The Miso soup is by far the best I've had since moving to Florida in FOUR years! The sashimi comes with 2 pieces of sushi. I don't know what it was but it was delicious as well. When I looked up to ask, the chef had left for his lunch break. I'm not big on sushi but I'd pay for that again. Great service, great food, great ambiance. They are definitely doing it right!!! Thank, you!!! read more

Well I'm back to my OG #1 favorite soul-warming sushi fusion spot! The little tent card at the bar said "Try Something New!" So I did and was delighted. A complimentary homemade fried wonton noodles with fresh edemame hummus drizzled with chile crunch to start was a light, but delicious and refreshing nibble! I'm told it will be added to the menu soon. I chose the Key West roll (new to me), with a side of ponzu. It was a celebration of all my favorite flavors married together in each bite: sushi rice, cucumber, spicy tuna, topped with torched salmon, lime zest, tobico. Such care and attention placed on every order whether you dine in or carry out. Loved watching the sushi chefs prepare each order with such intensity and pride. To experience this in such a cozy "neighborhood" establishment is a treat! read more

I ate here with my family in honor of my uncle for his birthday. I found the food to be great and I really enjoyed my menu selection. The miso soup was nicely seasoned and hot when it came out. The veggie sushi roll was quite nice and crafted with fresh ingredients. I opted for the bento box lunch and I thought it was great. Service was friendly and attentive. I will return! read more

Amazing sushi!! So fresh and great service. Came for one roll, and we ate 3 rolls. Absolutely amazing will definitely be coming back. Our server was amazing and so polite! Thank you the amazing experience! read more

Ugh another disappointing dining experience. This has nothing to do with my server she wrote everything down correctly it's the staff they don't care! 1) when you have allergies pay close attention 2) when asking for little rice don't overload 3) im the customer and should get the food how we like Only fish that was tasty was the hamachi special read more

Delicious is an understatement. I was visiting a loved one and looking for something to lift their spirits! It's in a plaza and around the corner. It's not even visible from the street. I was pleasantly surprised by the upscale ambiance once I walked through the door. We were quickly greeted and seated. We placed our order and when the table near us got their food we added some of what they ordered to ours because it looked so good. It is a little on the pricey side but it seems to me that you are paying for high quality ingredients. We ordered: Tempura Shrimp, Vegetable Spring Rolls, Shiori Roll (Hokkaido Scallop Seasonal Specialty), Scallop Nigiri, Inari Roll, Tiger, and Crunch Munch We inhaled the Tempura Shrimp and the Vegetable Spring Roll so no picture of those.... They have an extensive beverage list as well. This is a pretty nice place for date night or business meeting. We will definitely be back. read more

Wow! I'm pretty fussy about my sushi and love my sushi place at home, but this was fabulous. Their black rice sushi was fabulous. We also had pork belly bao that were divine. My husband also had the pork belly bowl with broccoli which was ample in size and wonderfully flavored. The waitress was lovely and helpful and they were very nice accommodating special requests. The restaurant is lovely inside with nice music played at a level where you could hear it but still carry on a conversation. Definitely a must try if in the area! read more

Experience was good. Enjoyed the food, everything came out at once which wasn't ideal but we managed. Are waiter was attentive and that's all I ask for so props to him. The interior was nice. I will be back, I like the UTC restaurant better. If you're on the fence about visiting I recommend coming and giving it a try. read more

I have lived on the East coast, West coast, Midwest & this is hands down the best sushi I have ever had. We used to go to Hana in Lakewood Ranch, which unfortunately closed. This restaurant has far exceeded our expectations. The food is other-worldly. We recommend the Red Sonya & Forbidden roll. Our waitresses have always been fantastic, specifically Kat. Thank you so much! read more

Emma is wonderful! She helped me out with my dietary restrictions and was very kind. Food was great, big portions!

When I went there was such a strong sulphur smell I didn't know if it was a gas leak or septic backup... Regardless I ate on the patio. Service was good but the sushi roll I got had tuna on top that was more of a brown color than it should be. Safe to say I didn't finish the roll and I won't be returning to this location. The location in UTC is great - I hope they can streamline that quality to both locations soon. read more

We had a great time at JPan during our stay in Siesta Key! We were having trouble booking a table anywhere due to being a large party and the busy holiday season. They were able to seat 8 of us together for our meal and the service was great. Super speedy and the fish was fresh. We live in miami so consider ourselves a bit of a sushi snob but this was great quality! They don't serve liquor, only sake & beer but their yuzu sake-tini is the bomb!! read more

Food, Services, and staff 5 star. Take out easy and delicious. Owners care about their customers. It shows.

I love this place! Everything is so fresh and tasty. The restaurant is really pretty, service was amazing and most importantly the food was so so good. I live in California and tried lots of sushi, but Jpan is now one of my top favorites spots for sushi I'm definitely coming here whenever I visit Sarasota! Thank you Jpan read more

Food was delicious! SOPHIA WAS OUR SERVER AND WE LOVE HER!! The ambiance was very nice during lunch!

Our waiter Noah was wonderful. The atmosphere was nice, the food came out quick and the food was good.

Been here 3 times now and gotten a few of the sames things. Very good service, chill decor, and reasonable prices. I want to love the sushi and food more as the presentation is wonderful and again the quality is fine, but there is something lacking overall from a flavor profile. Agedashi tofu and the broth is essentially tasteless - it's cooked fine, but they need to try a new batter and again the broth just has no real flavor. I added siracha sauce which was better, but hopefully they can refine it moving ahead. Same for the rolls, it was fine and filling (had 4 different rolls and the Volcano was the best out of all), but just the flavors don't jump out at us. We love sushi and have eaten it all over the US and still haven't found an AMAZING sushi place in Sarasota. JPan is fine and the price is good, but I would pay much more amazing food. read more

I've had great sushi as well as great service. It's very fun to sit at the sushi bar and watch the food being made.

One should not go out for dinner when you are starving - lucky me I came to the right place! I was traveling alone and sat at the bar, which is actually my favorite place so I get to watch all the chefs making the most interesting dishes. They did not disappoint. Not only did I order 2 house specials - I treated myself to a yummy dessert and a delicious Margarita. Service was extremely friendly and the food wait was not too long - given that it was a packed Friday night! The menu had so many unique and interesting items to order from. Highly recommend if your in the area and looking for delicious sushi. read more

First time at this location. What a treat. I've been to the UTC spot many times. I have to say I think this one is even better. The food was incredible. They made us a Kamikaze, which is no longer on their menu but is their best roll (my opinion). So glad they accommodated us with that. We had dumplings, volcano roll & Katana rolls, fried rice with beef. Everything was out of this world. My new go to.. read more

I used to love JPan - awesome sushi, great entrees, fun environment, etc. Noticed a steady decline in food quality and found this in my to-go order of Ramen noodles tonight. A dead bug. I'm sorry to say I need to find a new Japanese restaurant and I will not be returning to JPan. read more

I made the drive to Sarasota to check this place out because I heard that they have some basic Korean items on their menu. Plus, I love sushi. The location is hidden in the corner of the shopping center, luckily that is the first side that we drove in and were able to quickly find it. Otherwise, I usually grow impatient and would just drive off and go somewhere else. Since there are now plenty of sushi places to try in Sarasota. Upon walking into any sushi restaurant, I can tell if I am going to order raw fish or not. When entering J-Pan, I chose not to based on the case of fish at the sushi bar. We were there around 6:30 pm on a Wednesday night and there was only one other table seated. By 7:30, it was becoming quite crowded, good for them! I will give them a third star just because they were placing Korean R & B music, which reminds me of all of the Korean dramas that I love so much. The interior colors are black, red, and white- very striking. And, I love the photos on the walls. However, the food was not memorable... We were given free edamame from the chef upon entering, which was a very nice jesture, especially before having to indulge in their food. For our appetizer we had the Agedashi Tofu, the tofu breading was very soft and not crispy. All of the flavors were good, but I do not understand why they put the dashi broth on the side as a dipping sauce rather than putting the tofu in the dashi broth, where you would eat it with a spoon. As a dipping sauce; dashi does not hold it's own and you need more of it to get the flavor with the bite of tofu. I figured that since they are playing Korean music that someone must speak or be Korean, which means that they should know what Korean food tastes like. But, I seriously doubt it based on what they served us. The Chicken Bugogi was supposed to be spicy, but was super sweet and did not even taste like it had any gochujang in it, just a bunch of syrup. I wanted to ask the waitress, "Would you eat this?" I really do not feel that someone should serve you something that they would not find fit to eat. Not only that, but they did not completely rinse their rice so it had a weird chemical taste to it that was mouth numbing. The side veggies were onion, carrot, and broccoli steamed to a mushy consistency. The Beef Ramen ($10), was filled with beef bulgogi to the point where the entire did just became this milky concoction of sugary beef and onion with some noodles floating in it, we could only eat a few bites before getting grossed out. To be honest the taste reminded me of durian, minus the durian smell. The Sarasota Roll contained fried shrimp, then topped with cooked shrimp and avocado. It is really hard to mess up fried shrimp, and the roll was a little wet but decent. The Spicy Tuna Roll was also decent, but I wish there was more rice to fish ratio. I recommend only coming to J-Pan for sushi, because there other dishes really need some repairs. I understand that they have been open for less than a year, so maybe they are still working on a decent menu and food preparation. Hopefully, their food will improve and they will have great success with so much competition in the area. With places like Vizen, I really do not understand why someone would get Japanese food and sushi elsewhere. A table for two and $58.00 later, I feel like I could have spent that money on something much better. read more

JPan definitely has something on the menu that would make everyone happy! We usually go to Pacific Rim but wanted to give something new a try this holiday season. Definitely happy we tried JPan! The sushi was delicious and at a great price. There is something on the menu for absolutely everyone. Great presentation and efficient service! I thought all of the rolls were spectacular. We went with a really large group and ended up with a boat of sushi. Everything was extremely fresh and tasty. They gyoza was really good as well! I had some seaweed salad that was right on par. Overall a great place for sushi at a great price. read more

Super disappointed with this restaurant. I've gone to the one on utc and the portions were great. This place charged us 4 dollars for less than half a portion of miso soup. 6 dollars for less than a portion of a seaweed salad. The servers were nice but the chef behind the sushi counter was extremely rude to the togo server when we asked if a dressing contained nuts in it. Overall, disappointed with this location. read more
