Came back a couple times for lunch and take out (started a new job downtown recently so I've been coming a little too often).
Came here for a Chirashi Supreme ($28) for take out, a chirashi dinner ($21) for take out, And sat down for a tempura udon and uni sushi, all on separate occasions.
Chirashi supreme included Uni, which was very fresh. The Chirashi supreme was nice and huge--very filling. The chirashi dinner did not include Uni, but included yellowtail and some torched pieces of butterfish. It was also very huge and filling.
Yutaka is right around the corner, and I tried their Chef's chirashi, which was also $28. Yutaka included 2 pieces of otoro and 2 pieces of chutoro. Ahh, it's so hard to decide who wins.. so I'm going to give them a tie for now.
Japango's tempura udon was excellent. I'm not an udon expert, but their udon broth and udon quality were maybe the best I've had. The shrimp tempura were also pretty huge. I enjoyed the udon here a bit more than the udon at Yutaka.
The lady server there started to recognize me after going there a few days in a row for takeout lunch. Very nice and friendly lady!
I'm probably going to come back a lot more often.
My previous review still stands. 9.25/10 for the quality. 9/10 for the service. 9/10 for the value. 9/10 overall (not an average).
