| - Having been a fan of the original location since it opened, we were stoked to hear the second location opening up closer to our house.
Still pretty new with the "Kanji" sign still up and easy to find (right next to DW Bistro). We've only had the AYCE so I don't know how the teppenyaki stacks up.
What I liked:
Same menu as original location, bigger space, seems cleaner because of the brighter colors, option for teppenyaki.
What I didn't like:
The teppenyaki smell you leave with on your clothes (I feel like my hair smells like teppenyaki even after I get home), they don't accept the punch card from the original location, only open for dinner.
The new location is pretty consistent with the original, same quality fish, rolls are rolled well, hot apps come out hot, etc. Seems a little fancier with all ceramic plates instead of the plastic ones at the old location. Service is the same, kind of hit or miss. Some people are really nice, some a little cold, but you can always flag someone down and get what you need. I really love their riceless rolls and the fact that they don't hound you about finishing every bit of rice on your plate. I'm not one of those people who are trying to skimp on rice so I can shove more fish in my belly - I just don't want the extra carbs (female vanity thing).
Overall, a great option if craving AYCE in Vegas. We've tried our fair share of different places and Jjanga by far has been one of the most consistent and fresh (well, as fresh as AYCE fish goes, it's no Kabuto or Soho) places. Pretty normal pricing for AYCE, but nice with riceless rolls and a decent variety of apps.
