Japu Sushi & Food In San teodoro

Not too many vegetarian options

Not bad, but a bit salty for my taste, the aji de gallina was a miss for me especially, the sauce was watery and runny.

Interesting sushi. Service was great!

I’ve followed Japú on Instagram for a while, the food always looks great, and to be fair, most of it delivered. The Chicken Yakisoba was very flavorful and well-portioned. Two other people at the table shrimp and salmon dishes were tasty too, but a bit light for the price ($22–$23) with just a small bowl of fried rice. The drinks were good, but not good enough to justify the price, $14 to $16.50 for 8–9 oz cocktails without premium spirits mentioned or presented. Just didn’t feel like a good value. Service was slightly mixed. Our server was incredibly polite, and mostly on point but I had to ask three times for a Coke before it finally came, and only after the others at the table also asked. He wasn’t busy at the time (just one other table), so it stood out. Again, the rest of the service was on point. My biggest issue: there’s an automatic 18% service charge, but it’s not clearly disclosed on the menu, just in fine print "Tip Automatically Applied". And to make it worse, the receipt suggests another tip on top, calculated after tax and the service fee. Idid ask the server, who said that goes to the kitchen. If that's the case, that's not a tip, and on top of the high prices, we're also paying separately for the kitchen staff, not just the server. That’s confusing at best, and deceptive at worst. In Massachusetts, that kind of charge needs to be disclosed clearly and honestly. Solid flavors, great presentation, but transparency and attentiveness need work.
