Express Japan holds a D+ grade and scores better than only about a third of comparable restaurants in the county, placing it in the lower tier. The facility has struggled with persistent hygiene and food safety gaps since April 2023, most notably recurring issues with wiping cloth storage, food worker certifications, and basic sanitation of surfaces. The record shows a sharp deterioration from September 2024 through September 2025, when violations spiked to include inadequate hand washing facilities, improper produce washing, missing risk control plans, and temperature monitoring failures, though the most recent March 2026 inspection suggests some stabilization with fewer total violations and no high-risk issues related to food handling temperatures or contamination.
