Editorial Review of
Café Japengo
Café Japengo’s executive sushi chef Jerry Warner was recently named "Sushi Master" at the statewide Sushi Masters competition. Among his honors were Best of Show, and first prize in the Governor's Roll category, in which chefs could only use California native ingredients. Try his winning "Terminator" roll (get it?) a creative blend of scallops, tuna, crab, and quail eggs, and other incomparable creations at his impossibly hip restaurant. Although the dishes are obviously to-die-for, it’s the chic, club-like atmosphere that draws many of San Diego and La Jolla’s most attractive and eligible. And it’s this combination of factors that has caused Japengo to win the prize for top sushi bar by San Diego Magazine for seven consecutive years.
