Shin Ju Japanese Buffet reopens after inspection
Shin Ju Japanese Buffet on University Drive was allowed to re-open last Thursday afternoon after passing inspection by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation. The restaurant was closed that Tuesday after an inspector found 47 code violations, including live roaches near the sushi prep area. A second inspection on Wednesday found the same issues. The department inspected the restaurant after a patron took a photo of a brownie with a cockroach on it and sent it to Local 10.
