    Our waiter Alec was great, The food was mediocre at best. Food wasn’t neither fresh nor tasty. It seemed it was just thrown together from the day before. Would not recommend nor return.

    Just a small complaint, not enough to keep up from loving this place but we couldn’t have a heater outside because they were out of propane so just making sure they are filled and plentiful would really step up the situation. We love Jpan. Always a family favorite.

    Too many 'American-focused' sushi menu items. Service was good but not great. Ambience is nice and location is great. I would do it again because the sushi is good and there are not many alternatives. I just wish we could find one that would be great in the Lakewood Ranch/UTC area.

    This place has excellent food and good service overall, however the running of children all over the restaurant inside and the lack of clearing tables when clients leaves makes the atmosphere Diner style, I wish management would pay attention

    Each order came out separately with quite a bit of time in between. One diner was finished eating before another got her meal served. Some dishes were only warm not hot. Service was terrible. See above. Also server got two orders wrong. Most diners liked their food when it finally arrived.

    Visited JPAN twice during our stay in the area. Food was excellent both times. Dined with group of 6 and everyone was impressed with food quality and selection. Nice ambiance and good service. Highly recommend!

    We had an amazing dinner - the food was incredible as was the service. We were able to take advantage of happy hour and the wine was great quality, the other cocktails and drinks we ordered were delicious as well. The service was very prompt, and our server was very friendly, courteous and attentive without being smothering. The dishes we ordered were all delicious, fresh and creatively presented. We were very impressed and will be back!
