    I took my son to Japango for a birthday lunch. Not every place has the attention to detail that Japango offers. The bento boxes were excellent-best I’ve had and our waiter was knowledgeable, curtious, and attentive. What more could you ask?!

    So fresh and tasty. No bad choices possible! Our waiter, Eli, made fantastic recommendations and he was very attentive. Can’t wait to go back and try more.

    Our first visit to Japango for dinner was amazing. Our server was very helpful with cocktail and dining suggestions. We tore through Lobster Tail Napalm, Seared Tuna Tempura (a personal favorite), and Tatsutaage. The teriyaki on the Japango filet was delicate and sublime. The Tamba Gyu Nigiri was unique and tasty. My wife was mad for their Lychee Martini and I enjoyed the uniqueness of the Long Shot Pilot (a unique interpretation of the New York Sour) so much that I had two of them. NGL, this may have topped my local favorite place and we will definitely visit again when we return to Boulder.

    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
