Had a spectacular meal. The sushi was fast and everything was very fresh. Excellent cocktails and options. Wait staff was very patient and had a great knowledge of the menu and recommendations. Will definitely be back.
Dietary restrictions: Worked to modify offerings and made great suggestions for alternatives.
Wheelchair accessibility: Excellent spacing and even had tables with additional leaves to accommodate wheelchairs.
We went here for my wife's birthday and left very disappointed. The restaurant was absolutely freezing and I had to wear a coat to stay warm. The sushi was good but overpriced for what you got. They have espearagus in almost half of their rolls, which i didn't love. We were still hungry after eating and tried the carrot cake. It tasted just like cornbread. Literally. Save your money and skip this joint.

We had another incredible meal with super service at Japango, Fort Collins. Each maki dish we had was wonderful. And the service by Qiunn was professional, prompt, knowledgeable, and friendly.
Parking: Back room for a quieter option, 2 bars, nice interior design. Big group availability.

Had a wonderful experience. We had just arrived into town and it was cold. We were looking for a place to grab lunch so we could warm up. We stumbled upon Japango and were pleasantly surprised. Our server Logan approached us immediately and within 5 min we had our warm miso soup and hot sake in front of us. We started chatting with Logan and he was so attentive. Come to find out this is the same this is another Japango like the one in Boulder that has been one of our favorites over the years. That didn’t dawn on me at first, and was a great surprise. We had many questions about the menu and Logan was so informative so we took his suggestions and were so happy with our sushi and Salmon teriyaki box lunches they offer. The atmosphere is perfect. Lighting is soft and comfortable, very clean and such a cute spot. Music was on, all the requirements for a perfect atmosphere were spot on. So happy because I live so close to it now, I will be going there very often ! Congrats! This place seems to be doing everything right and Logan was a fantastic server for us.

Visited Ft. Collins for a few days and made a reservation at Japengo on a Friday night. Amazing sushi and wonderful overall experience. The service was friendly and knowledgeable. We had a party of 5 so we were able to sample many different dishes and we loved all of them. Cannot wait to return and continue to try new menu items and drinks!
Cocktails and Sake: The "Yutaka Smooth High Rollers" sake flight was very fun and tasty. Loved the Farm-to-Face Ole Fashioned made with a Japango barreled WhistlePig bourbon. Kakuhido's Revenge with egg white and NY float was beautifully made with a great balance of spice, sweet, and tequila heat. The Fireside mule was a smokey take on a traditional mule with a surprisingly good freshly toasted marshmallow.
Starters: The crispy brussels were wonderful. Both the homemade Shumai dumplings and the Lobster Potstickers were excellent.
Sushi and Sashimi: The New Zealand Salmon sashimi was the best salmon we've ever had...rich, buttery and perfect. The Hamachi Jalapeno was an excellent version of a Yellowtail tuna with jalapeno, soy and cilantro. All of the Nigiri were artistic, well made, and very tasty. The spicy tuna, salmon, and soft-shelled crab were especially good. Wonderful all around.
Ambiance: From the lighting, comfortable chairs, different seating areas and levels, and a centerpiece jelly fish tank, you can tell that the owners spent a ton of time and money making Japengo a destination restaurant.

One of the worst service experiences ever. They won’t split checks correctly (after offering to split) they just want to be lazy and split checks evenly no matter what you ordered. Took an HOUR just to get 6 checks sorted out correctly. Manager came over and was extremely rude and tried to lie and say they couldn’t do it when it had finally already been done. Would NOT recommend.
We’ve been here several times, including the soft open! Every time has been out of the world amazing! The prices are a bit higher but so is Jax ? much better services and options of food! Logan our server this time was absolutely perfect! He was the most helpful, educated and attentive ! Highly recommend!!!!!!!

My husband and I enjoyed dinner here last night, and every aspect of our experience exceeded our expectations! The atmosphere was magnificent every where we looked, and the tank with live jellyfish was truly fabulous. We cannot say enough positive things about our server LOGAN! He greeted us promptly, was tremendously knowledgeable about the menu, and after hearing our sushi preferences Logan proceeded to recommend the perfect appetizers and sushi rolls for our tastes. We began with a bottle of wine, an order of ceviche, and an order of brussels sprouts . Both appetizers were delicious, but my husband commented that those sprouts were the best he had ever eaten! Logan was a master at chatting with us, checking in, but not hovering or rushing us! This is an art that few servers ever truly learn ( he should be training people there if he isn’t already doing so) and it was so well appreciated! Our two Special Maki that we enjoyed per Logan’s recommendation were the Kitsune’s Kiss and the Hiro Leili. Both were delicious! We ended or dinner with a warmed snifter of Grand Marnier and the Green Tea Crème Brûlée which were equally perfect. We look forward to dining at Japango again! arigatou gozaimasu!!

The price is way too expensive for what you receive. The udon was $44, but it came with only three pieces of fish (tuna, salmon, eel) and half a soft-shell crab that looks like leftover sushi scraps. The presentation was not great, with too much broth and the fish pieces just floating in it.

Pretty cool place to eat some fancy sushi and fish dishes. Food was on point with the wide selection of delicious dishes, drink selection was solid except they seem to be missing my expected level of service for the price you are paying for food and drinks. We sat at the bar, so table service may be different. I will visit again. I'm pretty particular about sushi and service. This seemed like more of a large corporate operation focused on turnover than a local restaurant. The place was packed on a Thursday. Worthy of a visit and a choice you have to make for yourself. You might just be impressed, depending on your taste, service expectations and budget.
