JPan is a sushi and grill house featuring flavors and inspiration from around Asia. The big, boisterous venue is perfect for big groups, just be prepared to shout across the table.Why go?. JPan offers a fun, active dining experience—as focused on providing good food as a good time.

At Jpan Restaurant, whether you eat in their modern, red-walled dining room or on their outdoor patio, you’re sure to enjoy any dish from their extensive traditional Japanese menu, their astonishing sushi offerings, or a unique creation that their chefs will make just for you. Be it traditional, sushi, tempura, or that special chef dish, you’ll never be disappointed. Also, as noted in a Sarasota Herald Tribune review, Jpan’s décor is bold and modernistic.

Cattlemen Road, #61, Sarasota, (941) 960-3997; jpanrestaurant.com. JPan’s chef and owner, Daniel Dokko, has established himself as one of Sarasota’s premier restaurateurs. His flagship JPan, located in mid-Sarasota, established a steady following not only through its distinctive spin on sushi, ramen and fabulous drinks, but also through Dokko’s effervescent personality, which spills over into JPan’s second location, near the University Town Center mall.

It’s a crowded field in a coastal town of culinary delight, but JPan Restaurant wraps up the competition this year by an impressive margin, riding a clamor for more Crunchy Munchy and Origami Rolls from chef Daniel Dokko. Pacific Rim moves up a notch as Yume steps down, putting the pair in a tie for first runner-up this year and leaving room for Best Of newcomers Tsunami at second runner-up and Yo!. Sushi and Ginza in a dead heat for third runner-up.

Cattlemen Road, #61, Sarasota, (941) 960-3997, jpanrestaurant.com We like both JPan locations, but the bar area at the University Town Center restaurant usually pulls us out east. It’s a lively, bustling room, with tables for big groups and bartenders who like to put on a show by busting out the torch and burning some wood to smoke up a glass. The drink menu can make you rethink what a cocktail can be.

Our local food scene is flourishing, thanks to the leadership of some incredible women. JPAN Sushi & Grill is proud to showcase two such powerhouses: Danea Pezan Guimoye, Assistant Manager at Jpan UTC, and Noriko Beardow, General Manager of Jpan at Shops at Siesta Row. They are just a few examples of the many inspiring women who are shaping the future of food and beverage.

One of Sarasota’s best restaurants for sushi and fresh seafood and sashimi, JPAN Sushi & Grill provides a pleasant experience for travelers in search of good food and service. One of the favorite rolls among visitors is the Volcano, loaded with tuna, asparagus, cream cheese and avocado. Low-carb rolls and vegetarian rolls round out the vast sushi menu here.

If you’re out shopping for the day at University Town Center and want sushi for lunch or dinner, make sure to check out JPAN Sushi & Grill!. Located right on the mall strip, you will find this fresh and delicious sushi. Not only is JPAN located at UTC, there is also a second location at the Shops at Siesta Row!

With two venues, outdoor dining, and an incredibly diverse menu, it’s no wonder they’re so popular. There is also a little side venture in the form of Bar JPAN that provides an abundance of sake and Japanese whisky!. Their sushi-heavy menu is a paradise for raw fish lovers.

If you're looking for an extraordinary sushi experience, Jpan Sushi & Grill is worth a visit. Their innovative sushi rolls and Japanese fusion dishes are both a visual and gastronomic delight. For those yearning for a bit of European flair, grab a table at C'est La Vie!.

For years, Sarasota’s sushi scene felt like an afterthought. Jpan, now with two locations, changed that. The fish is fresh, the rolls are inventive without being ridiculous, and the kitchen goes beyond sushi with dishes like sizzling teriyaki and seared scallops.

JPAN Sushi & Grill is located at 229 N Cattlemen Rd in Sarasota, Florida. They also have a second location at 3800 S Tamiami Trail #2 in Sarasota, Florida. At Jpan Sushi & Grill, you will find anything from Edamame to Spicy Korean tacos.

One is behind Paradise Plaza, and the other is across from UTC. You have to check out their large menu with different food choices. These include pork dumping, Aloha rolls, and Three Amigos.

One in UTC (University Town Center) and the other in Siesta Row. Both are excellent, but we have to recommend the Jpan Siesta Row location. It has a laid back atmosphere in a modern setting.
