| - $26 for an AYCE sushi isn't a bad deal, especailly at Jjanga, where the food is way above average for an AYCE, ambiance is upscale (again way above your typical sushi joints), and number of dishes available are way way above average. This place is a bona fide gem, a place we plan on coming back to frequently.
Let me get the couple of minor negatives out of the way. First, the service was not bad by any means, but not necessarily great. Maybe it's on purpose to slow down the ordering, but the attentiveness wasn't exactly proactive. We had to flag down the wait staff to get our orders in past the initial order, and the table next to us actually left complaining they were not getting any attention. Once that happened, however, the service picked up. So it may have been an anomaly, but as it was, it gets a passing grade but not exactly an A. Second, the fish portion of the nigiri were smallish, although I liked that the entire nigiri was modest in size as well. I hate when the nigiri pieces are so monstrous that you need to take two bites to eat a piece.
The positives are numerous:
1) Quality of the fish were comparable to what you would find at very good sushi joints. Not on par with the top-of-the-line, but it's also not $90 pp either.
2) The quality of the menu is outstanding. They have dishes you just don't find at AYCE, such as amaebi, uni, oysters, several sashimi dishes, and about 10,000 roll dishes. Note that for some of these high-end dishes, it's one order per person max each. Still, get one of each and you'll be more than full. And then you still have unlimited orders of some of my faves, saba, ikura, albacore, hamachi, etc. Also has couple dozens of appetizers, desserts, and several choices of soups.
3) Great, upscale decor and lively atmosphere, topped off with k-pop music. TVs all over the place so it's also good for game days. Seating could use some improvement, I don't like those stools...
4) We didn't partake, but the hibachi is a good complement.
5) Some of those servers were cute!
All-in-all this is a can't miss, high-bargain restaurant that doesn't make you feel cheap for seeking an AYCE. I rate the food 4.5, atmosphere 4.5, and service 3.5 for a solid 4.5 stars. I'll round down, hoping their service matures enough for a full 5 star rating next time around.
Table-for-1 Factor: They have sushi bar with at least a dozen seats, and I can see myself noshing on my own despite the festive atmosphere that may suggest otherwise.
