Jimottis Restaurant - Sanford (FL)

5 /5 Terra The Chef and the Guest Pierre: Found this place after reading some prior reviews and they did not disappoint. I went during Happy Hour which was between 5pm-7pm. I had the California roll, Shrimp Tempura roll and Gyoza. Everything was delicious and the food was fresh. The service was good and for the price you couldnt beat it. Love the charm of this place I will definitely be back.

5 /5 N. crouch: The Spicy Chicken Ramen was amazing, as well as the fried chicken (thighs). Honestly everything thing made was seasoned and cooked as if it were a homemade meal. This is a small family restaurant, and its very popular so be patient and your meal will be worth the wait. Everyone was kind and the chef came out to greet everyone. If your looking for genuine Japanese cuisine, then this is your spot. My family and I will definitely be returning for more. Update: I came back years later, and still Amazing! They even gluten free soy sauce.

5 /5 jonah mcknight: All in all this restaurant gives an authentic family run, ramen house vibe that is hard to find in the US. The California roll was fantastic and the Tonkotsu ramen was phenomenal. I will 100% return should I ever be in the Sanford area again.

5 /5 Stephany P: This place is a Sanford gem. They serve the most authentic Japanese ramen noodles Ive ever found in Florida. I have been to Japan and the flavor of the broth and the meat is just the same as Tokyos. They have a great menu selection and great happy hour selections. Food : I recommend the Tonkotsu ramen and the Meatball skewers. This is mainly a ramen restaurant but the sushi rolls are authentic so it may not to the American taste. The size portions are great and I wouldnt have it any other way. Seating and Staff : The seating area is just like the Japanese restaurants, you find a place to sit and they come to you and give you the menu. It is not your typical wait for the waitress to take you to the table kind of thing. The waiter on the weekend and the waitress on the weekdays are both very pleasant and professional. Facility : Some people in the comments mentioned how the place looks rundown. There are some areas that do look rundown but its just the same as any town restaurant from Japan. The decor of the place wont be just like the typical American restaurants. I love the vibe of the place, it makes you feel like you traveled back in time to the 1980s in Japan, the golden age of Japan. I think that it is so much better atmosphere when youre enjoying some authentic ramen. I have never personally had a bad experience with this restaurant.
