Seasons of Japan opens at Town Center
Savannah-based Seasons of Japan opened its first Jacksonville restaurant March 15 next to Publix in the St. Johns Town Center area. The address is 4413 Town Center Parkway, units 201-203.
The restaurant has been under way for months.
In January, Seasons of Japan notified the City under the Fictitious Name Law it intended to register its name with the state Division of Corporations. Loc Thau Lin is listed as president of the company, Seasons of St. Johns Inc.
He said in early November he would open the Town Center location and was negotiating a second location in Mandarin.
In November, the City approved tenant build-out for Seasons of Japan at the Town Center. D.A. Davison Contracting Inc. was approved to handle renovations of the 2,663-square-foot space at a project cost of $295,800.
The seasonsofjapan.com site shows eight locations in Georgia, South Carolina and now Jacksonville, the first shown in Florida. It shows a restaurant "coming soon" in Irvine, Calif.
It describes itself as "a Japanese restaurant serving genuine Japanese and all Hibachi style cuisines that are cooked to order." The menu shows bowls, entrees, combination plates, salads, sushi and more. The company, which franchises, said its first restaurant opened in 1999 in Savannah.
The menu at the Town Center restaurant includes express bowls, wraps, cooked and raw sushi, soups and salads, side items, dessert and a special menu featuring hibachi items, Angus beef and teriyaki ahi tuna.
Special menu items are priced $5.50 to $9.95. Express bowls, such as teriyaki chicken and beef and hibachi shrimp, range from $7.75 to $9.95.
The Seasons Bento chicken, shrimp, roast beef and Angus steak are $8.95 and $9.95 and include sushi, edamame, tamago (egg) and rice.
