Express Japan currently holds a C+ grade and performs better than about 39% of comparable restaurants in the county, placing it in the lower-middle range. The facility's record shows a dramatic turnaround in the most recent inspection of September 2026, when violations dropped to just 2 points after peaking at 35 points in September 2025. The prior two years revealed a troubling pattern of escalating violations across food safety fundamentals: inadequate handwashing facilities appeared in March 2025, improper produce washing and missing temperature controls emerged in September 2025, and toxic substance handling violations surfaced in March 2026. The sharp improvement in the latest inspection suggests corrective action has taken hold, though the facility will need to sustain this momentum over multiple future inspections to demonstrate lasting change.
