Japango, set in a historic building just west of Broadway on the Pearl Street Mall in Boulder, CO, offers a dynamic combination of traditional and contemporary Japanese cuisine. Guests will enjoy a relaxed experience in an award winning space designed by nationally acclaimed architect, Scott Rodwin.

    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 :(

    Food was outstanding! Selection of starters, entrees, and sushi was excellent. Wait staff was helpful and attentive, and ambiance was modern and fun. Lovely classy touches like 4 different sake glasses in our sake flight. Highly recommend if you want high end sushi experience!

    Seats are hard wood, very uncomfortable. The establishment needs to provide cushions, different chairs, or something.
