If you've been turned away at Japango, head over to Yuzu. It's the sister location that has a much larger dining space. My love for Japango is now shared with Yuzu.
My usual dishes are the agedashi tofu which is lightly fried then served in a dashi broth. Yum! Sushi deluxe has a nice assortment of their special sushi and your standard fare. BC tuna and butterfish are amazing especially since they use a torch it to give it a nice flavour.
I've taken colleagues there who are apprehensive to raw fish and everyone has enjoyed it immensely. Every dish is well presented and is extremly fresh. If you have the time I recommend the omakase. It's quite the experience with soups, oysters, sushi, sashimi, salads (it goes on and on). We took the parents there for Valentine's day and they were blown away with the creativity beyond sushi and sashimi.
For dessert, I recommend black sesame ice cream. It sounds odd but it is off the hook!! Caution, might turn your lips black so eat delicately. I'm not really into sweets or ice cream but I can eat a whole order myself.
This is the only restaurant that I will go to for sushi (besides Japango) in the city. The staff and sushi master Bruce are very friendly and always attentive. My hubby and I are regulars there and have our own little set of chopsticks each time we visit. That alone makes our experience that much more special.
