Score

High Risk

Sarku Japan appears in inspection records eight times, starting in 2022. The latest inspection on file is from Jan 28, 2026. The high risk label is a heads-up that the most recent visit didn't go well.

There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near four violations per visit across recent inspections.

“Stored spring rolls not covered in chest freezer” comes up most often, recorded two times in the inspection record.

That's lower than the typical Boynton Beach restaurant, which scores around 79. Taken together, the history suggests a facility that has struggled with consistency.
