Jimotti's - Sanford

I was feeling unwell but still decided to try out this restaurant. I ordered the ramen and it was delicious! The aroma and combination of ingredients were amazing. I wish I could have taken a picture to share with others. Chef Junichi is fantastic! I also couldn't resist trying the takoyaki, which was also excellent. Overall, the food here is really good!

This restaurant is authentic Japanese-owned. The ramen broth tastes just like the one I had in Tokyo, and my pork dish was delicious. The takoyaki had too much flour and not enough filling, so it tasted like a doughy ball, but the sauce was good. Overall, they are close to the real deal and worth exploring further.

This restaurant offers world-class ramen that rivals what you would expect in a big city, not in Sanford, Florida. Happy hour on Wednesdays makes it a great value.

The only thing positive to say about this experience was the staff was really nice. We had the skewers for an app. How do you screw that up? The pork belly had no char, the meatballs I’m pretty sure came from the frozen food section, and the hearts weren’t marinated, just brushed with sauce. I got the ramen and was utterly appalled when I saw spaghetti noodles in it!!! Spaghetti noodles!! You should be ashamed of yourself! No depth of flavor in the broth and the pork had an off putting flavor. If you think this is the best ramen in town, you obviously have never had real ramen. Extremely disappointing. Save your money and go elsewhere.

Jimotti’s is definitely a hidden gem! The waitress, Allie, was very friendly and helpful. The ambiance is cozy and unique and the food was fabulous and tasty! I had the bento box with a variety of their sushi, sashimi, salad, miso soup and special fried chicken. It was all amazing! If you like unique hole in the wall places you’ll love this place. I’ll definitely look for an excuse to come back! :
