"Couldn't have found on a more perfect place for a nice and classy dinner before a night at the ballet.\n\nThe food:\nOcean trout sashimi - appearance is similar to salmon sashimi. Actually, now that I think about it, tastes pretty similar too. They leave a little bit of the skin on, adding a slightly bitter note that just makes you even more appreciative of the sweetness from the trout\n\nBBQ eel sushi- In the words of that ol' Folgers coffee jingle, \"So fresh...so fresh and exciting to me!\" \n\nLobster roll- one of the more impressive items on the menu in terms of presentations, as they plate it with the lobster tail carcass. One must try the roll with the drizzled sauce. This is key!\n\nCrunchy Salmon roll- salmon is melt-in-your-mouth soft. The fish is truly the centerpiece of the roll. This is what differentiates it from the lower quality sushi joints, where the pieces of tempura and rice takes precedence \n\nAll else that enriched our experience:\nThe service - our waitress was so genuinely friendly. Not the type of friendly where you feel like it's a hit it and tip it, but a genuine friendliness that makes you feel like she just wants you to appreciate the food as much as she does. My dinner date actually questioned how someone can be so happy. Fo reals though, I would be this happy too if I worked here and got to eat fresh and amazing seafood like this everyday. \n\nThe atmosphere- Being a super small restaurant that seats appr. 15, one would typically be none too pleased with being elbow to elbow with fellow diners. But I feel like this coziness just added to Japango's charm and character. The type of charm where where it makes you want to hug the person beside you and talk to them about how fresh your sashimi is. \n\nDum dum dum...the missing star explanation: \nLess variety and \"unique\" items than its sister restaurant, Yuzu (same management). However, what it does have, it does extremely well."^^ . "0"^^ .
