    Japango is fantastic. The service is wonderful, the cocktails are exquisite, and the rolls are delicious. They put so much flavor into their sushi! I particularly like the yellowtail. I wish I could afford to go there all the time, but it's the perfect treat!

    If you like seafood or shellfish, order the Spicy Calamari and Dynamite Shrimp to start with, these appetizers did not disappoint! The flavors in these dishes was amazing! The four of us each ordered a different roll, with the Denali our overall favorite. The flavors melded together perfectly and with the texture smooth. Thank you for a wonderful night with exceptional friendly and prompt customer service!

    As always, Japango never dissapoint. The quality of the food rivals many sushi places I have had that were far, far closer to the ocean. The ambiance / vibes combined with the food makes for an unforgettable experience every time

    The sushi was delicious, my favorite was the beef tataki, with the dipping sauce, it was a perfect 10! Make sure to order the brussel sprouts. They have a great selection of craft cocktails and my cocktail did not dissapoint, yumm! Loved the jellyfish aquarium and the lively environment. It was a festive vibe but we could easily carry on a conversation. We celebrated a birthday there and they have truffle deserts from a pastry chef made in-house, which were a complementary birthday treat with a candle, a nice touch.

    Came here for my 32nd birthday as I’ve had relatively positive experiences here in the past. Our server was great through taking the roll orders. Then somehow the timing of everything got very messed up. They dropped off 1 of 8-9 rolls and then we waited for 20’minutes for the rest of the food. At this point the server was no where to be found and did not provide any advice about why the food was taking so long. I was bummed because all it takes is some basic communication of why everything else is taking forever. I’d have expected a small discount for the poor timing and service but it wasn’t offered sadly. I had higher hopes :(
