JAPAN EXPRESS – Japanese
A neighbourhood Japanese kitchen on East Burleigh Boulevard, built for quick lunches and easy weeknight dinners rather than ceremony. The menu runs long - gyoza and shrimp tempura to start, chicken teriyaki and hibachi dinner combinations, filet mignon off the hibachi, plus a sushi bar turning out hand rolls, tempura rolls and sashimi. Kids' hibachi plates keep the family trade coming. Regulars in Tavares talk about generous portions and fast, unfussy service more than anything else. Order the combination and you will not leave hungry.
