Title: VERY DISSAPOINTING
Review:

WE HAVE EATEN HERE BEFORE AND WERE VERY DISAPPOINTED THIS TIME ROUND. THE WAITRESS WAS VERY UNHELPFUL,THE SUSHI VERY TASTELESS AND NOT AT ALL WHAT WE EXPECTED AND THE SALADS WERE NOT WHAT THEY USED TO BE. THE ATMOSPHERE WAS VERY COLD.IF YOU DO GO THERE MAYBE SIT AT THE SUSHI BAR AND HOPE FOR BETTER SERVICE.THE ONLY ONE I WOULD GIVE POINTS TO WAS THE GENTLEMAN WHO POURED OUR WATER AND CLEARED THE TABLES. HE WAS POLITE AND EFFICIENT

Title: Not What I Expected
Review:

From the buzz surrounding this restaurant and the quality of its food, I thought this was going to be a great experience, I was wrong. The atmosphere was gorgeous and the music was fine, but I thought that it was bizarre that the staff started taking away place settings and center pieces from the empty tables while they still had patrons in the restaurant (approximately an hour before closing). We ordered edamame first and it seemed sub par (it was not as good as some that I have had from other places.) Next we ordered four rolls of sushi (from their limited selection.) We sat there for an excess of thirty minutes waiting for it to arrive (this was after the edamame was cleared away.) We did not order one of their specialty dishes (although I must admit that those appeared to be exquisite.) When we finally received our food, we noticed that it was not very fresh. Now I think of myself a fairly experienced sushi eater and I have been to places all over the country, the best having be ... Full Review

Title: Outstanding sushi and eclectic crowds
Review: Great sushi, although pricey. Don't go on Thursday nights though; we discovered it's "trolling night" for singles. There were a lot of scantilly-dressed slightly overweight women with a lot of make-up on and some youngish men just wandering around on their cell phones...with roaming eyes.

Title: Noisy but excellent sushi & deserts
Review: On Sundays they have a sushi special where certain items are on sale. The food is really well presented (sushi and entrees) and the service is excellent. The deserts are the best items but they're not that big so I wouldn't recommend sharing. Get a booth facing away from the bar (liquor bar, not sushi bar) if possible to muffle the sound. The music is loud and alternates between U2 and ganster rap.

Title: One of the Best!
Review: I've never had bad experience with this restaurant! The food is Amazing, you have to try the Seabass, it's outstanding!! The prices are up there, but you definately get your money's worth. We've always had an excellent service. Thursday nights are the most fun; music, people, it's like a giant party with great food and good looking people!

Title: FANTASTIC
Review: I dined at Cafe Japengo this Saturday and it was outstanding. The sushi was our appetizer and it was fresh and well presented. We rolled into dinner with a few appetizers from the dinner menu, followed by entrees. Everything was wonderful and the service was top notch. I highly recommend it.

Title: WOW
Review: This place was great. The food was more than excellent. I really like going to great resturaunts away from the mess that is downtown. The food was really, REALY great japanese food. Although they did Americanize it a bit - not that I'm complaining. It's nice to get the authentic japanese but then its also nice to find a place that can change the style up a bit without loosing the "basic's"
