Cafe Japengo
Cafe Japengo Review
Framed by marbled walls and accented with bamboo trees and unusual black-iron sculptures, this Pacific Rim restaurant serves Asian-inspired cuisine with many North and South American touches. The seared ahi napoleon and the char siu duck salad are guaranteed to wake up your taste buds. There's also a selection of grilled, wood-roasted, and wok-fried entrées; try the braised short ribs with risotto or the sake-marinated prawns. The sushi is always fresh, and many regard it as the liveliest sushi bar in town. Service can be slow, but the pace in the bar, crowded with young locals on the make, is fast and energetic. If you savor quiet, avoid weekend evenings.
