| - Our first night in Vegas left us wanting to wander off of the strip to get our grub on. We were craving sushi and saw so many mixed reviews around the area, but decided to take a chance on Jjanga and I am glad we did!
THE MOOD:
Jjanga is located a little further down from Chinatown in a small plaza. It seems like the only happening place in this plaza is Jjanga - all the other stores are in dire need of customers. Imagine the $$ they could be making if they were located right in Chinatown! The decor inside looks modern/Asian. There is a bar where you can sit with the enthusiastic sushi chefs. Patrons who come and sit at the bar are warmly greeted by the chefs. If you opt for sitting in the dining area, you will have plenty of space between your table and the one next to you.
THE FOOD:
Andrew D. and I decided to go for the dinner AYCE for the $25.95 per person. I especially loved the appetizer dishes since each one that was brought out was unique and each was packed with flavor!
What we ordered:
- Garlic Tuna (Delicious and packed with strong garlic flavor! I loved!)
- Salmon Egg
- Sea Urchin (This was melt in your mouth goodness)
- Sweet Shrimp (Big pieces of tasty succulent shrimp)
- Seaweed salad (I'm a lover of seaweed salad and this was so delicious I had to order 2)
- Baby Octopus (They come in 3 and are crispy, tasty!)
- Golden scallop (These also came in 3. These are marked off on the menu in red to show that you are only allowed 1 order of these per person - and for good reason! They were delicious!)
- Mini Beef Steak (These came in 4 pieces - the beef was super tender and dripping with lovely juices)
- Jjanga Burrito (This is not really a burrito, but rather a handroll - the tempura was a nice crunchy complement to the rice, crab, and shrimp)
- Salmon Skin Roll
- Washington Roll
- Jjanga Special Roll (This was a surprisingly refreshing dish. I loved the crisp of the chopped tomato with the special chef sauce - they were so fun to eat and this is perfect for the hot weather!)
- Spider Roll (The soft shell crab was absolutely delicious - the roll was made to perfection!)
- Q Roll (Jjanga have sushi rolls without rice - good for those who are counting those carbs/calories - very refreshing!)
- Green Tea Ice Cream (I want to say that this is probably the best green tea ice cream I've tasted! I loved how each bite was delicious, milky, green tea goodness).
- Strawberry Ice Cream (You are only allowed to order 1 per customer and it was delicious! Get at least one to try!)
THE 'TUDE:
If you thought the list above was a lot of food, you are right!! lol. Andrew D. and I eat like champs and we love good sushi! The waiters did not miss a beat in stopping by our table to refill our drinks and pick up our empty plates as we efficiently chomped through each dish. Our waitress also kept checking in on us to see if we wanted to order more or needed anything else.
OVERALL:
Jjanga is doing sushi right, but most importantly, they are doing customer service right!! I loved my time here and would come back again!
