| - Made a reservation for a late dinner at Japango on a Sunday night expecting the restaurant to be quiet, I was surprised that it was totally packed!
We had a similar experience to other Yelpers in that when we arrived on time for our reservation all the tables were full and we were asked to wait 15+ minutes.
On top of that, when we were finally shown to our table someone waiting in line after us insisted that we change tables with her so that she didn't have to sit next to the window (?). The waitress asked us to relocate. Needless to say, we were VERY unimpressed by the time we sat down.
The waitress was very apologetic and offered us free salads, miso soups, and free hand rolls. I appreciated the gesture, but I was unimpressed with our initial experience. From this point on service was attentive and we were happy with the experience.
Onto the food! We ordered several dishes
1. Japango roll: tasty, definitely recommend
2. Crunchy, spicy salmon roll: I love this spicy salmon, it's not too creamy like other rolls in the city. Definitely has spice.
3. Tuna tartare appetizer: phenomenal, had a light tomato taste, very special.
4. Chefs selection sashimi & sushi ($50): Great selection to try the fish at Japango. A bit too expensive in my opinion.
Miso soup, salads (green & wakame) were duds. It's the same thing you would get at a cheapo sushi place. Don't waste the money or calories! When I return I will only get sushi/sashimi and rolls.
