Chef/Owner Keiichi Maemura chose the name Shimuja in respect to Shimazu Nariakira, for his Philosophy, Intelligence, and being wise. His focus is to give people out of Japan an opportunity to eat Tonkotsu Ramen made with soy sauce, which is the taste of home in Kagoshima.Kagoshima Special is a Ramen created by Chef/ Owner Kei-san himself. Extra chashu and a whole egg float at the base of this large bowl of ramen, and in the center there is a generous portion of mixed steamed vegetables. Topping the entire bowl off is a large pinch of our fried burdock root, a labor of love that adds a textural contrast and an earthy flavor to the soup. The burdock is piled in a way that is representative of the volcano on Kagoshima which is still active to this day.Shimuja is known for its cozy atmosphere, selected by SunSentinel Travel & Life as one of the 18th best dishes in all of South Florida.

Time counts at BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse. Since our humble beginnings back in 1978, we've continued to refine our brewhouse experience to make BJ's a place where you can make the most of any meal. We want BJ's to be a place where the moment you leave is the moment you plan on coming back. We pride ourselves in our craft and attention to detail. Our guests come here for our award-winning handcrafted beer. They come here for the Southern California twist we've put on the Chicago-style deep dish pizza. And they come here for our Pizookies®, our world-renowned dessert. But above all we know people come here to make their good times better. So in many ways we haven't just crafted a brand, but a mindset. And our guests are the reason for this. And it's because of them we're continually striving to make sure every moment they choose to spend with us counts. Welcome to BJ's, a restaurant with a Brewhouse soul.

    From booking the table to the execution of everything, it was all perfect! The welcoming staff, our waitress Nellie and our bartender Nicole were very friendly and accommodating. The checking out process was a breeze when we got the bill, and the space they reserved for us was perfect. Nice private section for my family and friends. Food and drinks were on point! One of my favorite restaurants by far. 10/10!
