South Florida’s Japanese Dining Scene Just Got Louder—and Sleeker

June 19th, 2025 – With the upcoming launch of Saiko-i Sushi Lounge & Hibachi in Plantation, Broward County is about to welcome a Japanese dining destination that blends culinary craftsmanship with high-energy entertainment. Opening this July at the Shoppes at Broward, Saiko-i’s latest outpost introduces its signature hibachi flair, sleek sushi presentations, and scene-setting atmosphere to a new neighborhood—marking its largest and most ambitious location yet.

Behind the concept is the husband-and-wife team Tina Wang and Chef Jason Zheng, seasoned restaurateurs and co-founders of Unisolo Restaurant Group, which oversees a portfolio of beloved local spots including Coco Sushi Lounge & Bar in Delray and Yakitori Sake House in East Boca. Known for turning dining into an experience, the couple is continuing their expansion with a location designed to host everything from corporate dinners to late-night celebrations.

Where Culinary Theatre Meets Modern Japanese Craft

At Saiko-i, dinner is never just a meal—it’s a front-row performance. The hibachi tables are the pulse of the space, where chefs ignite flames, execute knife tricks, and engage diners with spirited banter. The interactive nature of the experience has become a signature across the brand’s existing locations, and at the new Plantation space—with expanded seating and a dynamic open layout—the effect is dialed up.

Alongside the theatrics is a menu that balances traditional Japanese technique with bold modern touches. The sushi bar is a canvas of creativity, featuring chef-curated omakase platters, delicately plated sashimi, and imaginative specialty rolls that showcase the kitchen’s ability to elevate familiar flavors into something uniquely Saiko-i.

A Space Designed for Every Type of Gathering

At 6,500 square feet, this is the brand’s largest location to date. But it’s not just about scale—it’s about ambiance. Warm wood textures meet contemporary lighting and artistic design touches, creating a setting that’s equally suited for intimate dinners or larger group occasions. An outdoor patio adds flexibility, while a full bar and lounge area ensures the energy carries from day into night.

Weekends will feature brunch service and themed events, while the weekday lineup includes happy hour, sushi specials, and rotating entertainment. Guests can expect regular specials such as Ladies Night and Wine Wednesdays, which keep the space buzzing with activity throughout the week.

Hospitality Rooted in Inclusivity and Creativity

True to its ethos, Saiko-i Plantation has crafted a menu and service model that caters to a wide variety of preferences and dietary needs. Gluten-free options, customizable hibachi dishes, and lighter sushi alternatives are integrated seamlessly into the experience, allowing guests to enjoy their meals without compromise. And for those hosting special events or looking for private chef-style service at home, the brand offers full-service mobile hibachi and catering—a unique offering that’s become increasingly popular across South Florida.
