Sumo Japanese in Deerfield Beach
Last inspected:
3354 W Hillsboro Blvd, Deerfield Beach, FL 33442Sumo Japanese in Deerfield Beach operates with a concerning pattern of recurring food safety violations and has averaged 4.6 violations per inspection across 24 inspections since 2016, slightly below the Florida statewide average of 5.2. The facility has never been emergency-closed. High-priority violations have appeared in the majority of recent inspections, particularly food contact surface violations cited in 7 of the last 8 inspections, improper parasite destruction procedures documented twice in July 2025, and employee health reporting violations that triggered an administrative complaint recommendation in July 2023. Additional high-priority findings include improper hand washing (August 2024), time as control violations (multiple inspections), and chemical storage failures. A formal disciplinary action resulted in $200 in fines. The most recent inspection on December 15, 2025 documented 9 violations including three separate food contact surface citations and was completed with no further action required, though the persistence of the same violation category across consecutive inspections suggests a systemic management issue with equipment sanitation or maintenance procedures.
