| - My co-worker has been raving about this place for the longest time, so I finally made my way over to Japango the other night. She told me it was small... but I didn't expect it to be that tiny! There isn't any sushi bar seating, the tables are only a few inches apart and the restaurant fits maybe 20 people MAX. But given how amazing the food was, I could've cared less.
I came with one other person, and since we had arrived shortly after 5:30, we were able to grab a table right away. We decided to share a few things including one order of the Sushi Sashimi Moriawase - Chef's choice of sushi and sashimi ($40). First came the sashimi platter which consisted of the following:
- salmon belly
- sea bream from Japan (seared on top)
- fluke
- bigeye tuna
- butterfish (in a garlic sauce)
The sashimi was ridiculously good. Everything just tasted so fresh! The little things that they do - searing some of the fish, putting it in garlic sauce, etc, really brings out the flavour in the fish too.
Next came the sushi platter, which consisted of 2 pieces of each of the following:
- sea bream from Greece (seared on top)
- mackeral
- uni
- salmon
- bigeye tuna
Similar to the sashimi, the fish was so fresh and delicious! No complaints whatsoever. The Moriawase also came with a green salad, miso soup and a sunomono.
We also ordered a seaweed salad ($5), which was tasty (I've rarely had it done poor though), but at $5 for a teeny tiny bowl, I thought this was overpriced. We weren't sure if we'd have enough food, so we also ordered an order of hamachi sashimi (one of the specials of the day) and a spicy scallop roll ($8). Both were delicious!
I didn't really try any of the hot food, but the sashimi and sushi certainly get 5 stars from me!
