We had a great time! The ambience and service was phenomenal, Margaret was very accommodating of our requests and was super friendly. We highly recommend the New England king salmon sashimi, Diablo maki, Sakai maki, kitsune's kiss maki, and the shishito peppers.

Japango is a fabulous restaurant! We celebrated Linda's 82nd Birthday at her most favorite restaurant. It is a classy , sophisificated restaurant. Eli was a superb server! Thank you!

Service in ambience was top-notch. It's a busy place and of course it's loud but very popular. No decent sushi joint is going to be inexpensive so those were my only marks under five stars for value and noise level. My date and I had an excellent time and I would recommend it 10 times out of 10.
