I haven't been to an AYCE sushi place in a long time because I generally eat too much and the quality doesn't compare with some of the more upscale places. That being said, I was glad to come to a birthday lunch at Jjanga with some friends. And yes, I did overeat!
Sushi restaurants seem to try to outdo each other with names for rolls and for fillings as a hook for customers. Dancing eel, Burning your ass, and Jackpot just to name three--all of which I fully ate or shared with others at the table.
The burning your ass is an example. It has soft shell crab and spicy tuna but you couldn't taste the seafood because it had to live up to its name. The tuna was spicy tuna but it was overwhelmed by the spiciness of the roll, the sriracha on top, and then slices of jalapeƱo on top of that. But, that's what I wanted and it was good. It was very hotly spiced rice.
The Jackpot roll and Mel's roll were good. The crispy things they put on the rolls are interesting and add texture. It was the first time I'd had them.
For the finale, I had both red bean and green tea ice cream. It was a nice way to end this food orgy.
Service was first rate! With a group of 14 people calling out orders to the server things sounded hectic. She kept right up with us and things were served in a timely manner.
This is a fine place for a group dinner with privacy like this. It was such good fun to enjoy ourselves in our own room.
