Why, oh, why do they have so much sushi? Next time, I have to limit myself to three rolls instead of four. On the plus side, I have lunch.

We drove an hour from Littleton to try this restaurant and we were not disappointed! Jordan was out server and he was fantastic. Super patient and willing to answer all of our questions. The menu had some great choices and I loved all of the non-alcoholic drink options. Their yellowtail nigiri is a must-have. We'll definitely be back!

Great date spot, nice atmosphere, good service, and excellent food. On the busy Pearl St mall, with nice outdoor seating when the weather cooperates. Extremely expensive, though.

Went for dinner for the first time last night cause we heard from our friends that this place was good for a date night—it ended to be very disappointing.
We had the cod, which was recommended by our server and honestly very good. But the shumai and gyoza were atrocious at $15 a plate. Tasted worse than Trader Joe’s. The Manchu jalapeño plate looked like it had been chewed on before it got to the table. The drink menu was creative and all seemed really tasty; the rolls were okay—expensive— but I suppose that’s in-line with mall sushi in Boulder.
The worst part of our night wasn’t actually the pesky flies surrounding the food, though; my date and I kept getting interrupted by a pesky manager coming to our table and the ones next to us. We weren’t able to enjoy our conversation or food. He had the most obnoxious laugh. The table next to us who said they come to have dinner often told us it that this was unusual.
Server was a highlight but they also came to our table 9 times (we counted) during the night. Lots of interruption between management and staff. Felt like we talked to staff more than to each other. Food was mostly a miss. I did enjoy the Himalayan. Our date just felt ruined by the manager. Willing to give the place another try. Maybe it was an off night.

Best sushi we’ve had hands down. They have great specialty rolls that actually taste like they care about what’s going into it vs. just throwing in a bunch of random ingredients. Sushi bar was great, chefs were very nice and very helpful when it came to making sure we steered clear of gluten for allergy reasons. Everything was phenomenal.
Dietary restrictions: Lots of gluten free options

Kurt was amazing! The Spicy Calamari and sushi rolls were delicious. We got the Gilded Bee and Montana roll and both were very fresh and light tasting. Drinks were great too. It was our anniversary and he “gifted” us some Amaretto Truffles which were very yummy :)

Had an incredible dining experience at Japango thanks to our server, Jordan. In all our visits (and there have been many—probably close to 50), Jordan stands out as the best we’ve ever had. From the moment he greeted us, he was warm and genuinely friendly, making us feel at home right away. He knew the menu inside and out, guiding us with perfect recommendations and sharing detailed knowledge about the dishes and wines, which made our experience so much more enjoyable. His attentiveness was flawless without ever feeling intrusive. We’ve always loved Japango, but having Jordan as our server took it to a whole new level. If you go, make sure to ask for him—you won’t regret it!

Sushi was delicious as well as the rolls.
The drink menu was great, and there were plenty of different whiskies to choose from. We'll be going back very soon. The fish tank in the middle of the restaurant with jellyfish was awesome as well. All day Monday, Happy hour.. whaaat!?! Good shizzle!

Last night we gorged ourselves on a cornucopia of sushi and cocktails at Japango sushi restaurant in Boulder on Pearl St. Our waiter was indubitable Jordan V. who could not have been more professional, helpful, accommodating, and charming. We required a constant flow of ginger and ponzu sauce and Jordan was there before we depleted our supply.
His sushi and liquor recommendations were spot on and much appreciated as there is a plethora of delicious possibilities to order from the menu, it’s nice to have some guidance. The ambiance was chill and intimate and the service seamless. We are rabid fans of both the restaurant and Jordan and will surely be back soon to again sit in his section.
