Overview

Tokyo Teppan Café in Orlando has a notably problematic food safety record marked by persistently high violation rates and serious, recurring issues. Across 25 inspections since 2022, the facility accumulated 193 total violations, averaging 7.7 per inspection — nearly 50% above Florida's statewide average of 5.2. High-priority violations dominate the record: employee health reporting violations appeared in at least 8 inspections; proper hand and arm washing violations were cited in 9 inspections; parasite destruction violations (critical for raw fish preparation in a teppanyaki restaurant) were documented in 7 inspections; management awareness violations appeared in 7 inspections; proper cooking temperature violations were cited in 5 inspections. Additional high-priority findings include food contact surface violations (8 inspections), shell stock handling violations (3 inspections), and approved food source violations (3 inspections).

The facility received one disciplinary action totaling $160 in fines. No emergency closures have been issued despite the severity and frequency of violations. The most recent inspection on January 13, 2026 documented 12 violations with 6 high-priority findings including parasite destruction, proper cooking temperatures, and time as a control measure. This inspection was closed with no further action required, continuing a pattern in which violations are cited but the facility remains open. The consistency of high-priority violations, particularly around employee health reporting, hand washing, and parasite destruction in a raw fish preparation environment, signals systemic management and training deficiencies that have persisted across the entire four-year record.
