| - Ommmm.
Like Guu? Well, Japas is much the same, but tranquil - intimate, even - with no wait times (that I've experienced - but I've only gone on a weeknight), more seafood choices, and some amazing steals. It's not quiiite on par with Guu food-wise, but I'm prepared to overlook the small difference for being able to talk without yelling at my friend over nevertheless delicious food that is probably on for a great deal.
Foods we ordered, in order of deliciousness:
Yaki Saba (grilled mackerel w/ sea salt) - get it.
Wild Baked Scallops (with mushroom, potato bits, and cheese) - ommmm comfort food. I always find that nobody does mushrooms quite like Japanese restos.
Aburi Saba Sushi (torched mackerel sushi) - reminiscent of seared tuna, but much much better because it's (ceviche-style) mackerel.
Fish Tacos - excellent. Japan and Mexico coming together for a good cause.
Wild Jumbo Shrimp Tempura - good; the wasabi mayo is a must.
Japas Salad - a nice enough starter.
Grilled Chilean Seabass - okay, but I guess I was expecting more.
We also shared a glass of the plum wine for dessert. I am now looking for places to buy plum wine (message me if you have a source!).
I will be back for some excellent japas (jap tapas!), hopefully using their impressive promotions. $1 oysters anyone?
