| - Japanese Express is found in the busy food court of Pacific Mall's second floor. Featuring a large selection of Japanese and Korean dishes, it's pretty amazing how they can maintain consistent quality of food across so much variety.
Today, I ordered the Kalbi Jap-Chai, which is rice noodles soup with beef short ribs. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the short ribs: juicy, tender, and large. The broth of the noodles was light but flavored just right, not too much that it overpowers the noodles. I really enjoyed the eggs mixed with the noodle, because the flavor pairs perfectly with the soup. However, the picture of the meal promised a bap-style egg, which the meal itself did not contain.
Their sushi selection is also very good. It's hard to trust sashimi at fast food sushi, but this venue seems to do it right. Try a plate of Salmon sashimi and tell me that you aren't impressed.
The prices are reasonable, mostly all under $12. Their rice dishes are very good for value, such as the bulgogi on rice.
The service was medium, food arrived fast, but they never mentioned that the plate of food was mine.
Overall, a great food venue in a food court filled with asian options, you can't go wrong with JE.
