| - Not one to commit to the official title of "My Favourite Restaurant", but I finally get what it means when they say "you just haven't met the right one yet." Because Ja, I think I have just met my match.
What we got:
Aburicious ($20): The Noah's Arc of sushi rolls, two of every kind. This is the perfect plate to order if it is your first time at Ja and wanted to sample all of the aburri sushi. The ebi aka shrimp oshizushi was particularly impressive, so much that we decided to add it to our order separately ($14). Can I just say that if you're at Ja, you HAVE to get at least one aburri sushi? I've been around the aburri block, so trust me, no one can blowtorch like Ja can.
Lobster carpaccio ($18): Delicious! Even though I am not typically a huge fan of carpaccio, this was like a party in your mouth where seared lobster, onions, arugula, and an explosion of citric flavours were all invited.
Uni Cream Pasta ($18): Uni seems to be an acquired taste. This dish is a good intro to uni if you want to acquire this taste. The brininess of the sea urchin pairs well with the creamy pasta.
Jalapimo ($6): Deep fried potato balls, can't go wrong with deep fried starch.
Assorted sushi pieces ($5-8?) - What can I say, all super fresh and delicious.
Dessert: Chocolate ganache ($10) and Yuzu tart ($10)- Unique and beautifully presented. Plus they both come with vanilla ice cream.
In the other categories of decor and service- equally above and beyond amazing. Ja, congrats on winning my heart and commitment*.
