    Came here for my daughter's birthday as a very special treat. We've been several times but felt this time was not up to usual standards. Got the nigiri that was on special and the fish pieces were tiny. The rolls all seemed much smaller as well with much less fish. We ordered bang bang shrimp at the end because we were all still hungry and it was a tiny dish with maybe 4 or 5 shrimp all chopped up on top of a bed of mushrooms. It was mostly bits of breading and not one whole piece of shrimp. 5 stars for our server though.

    Food is fantastic! They were incredibly busy the weekend of the CU v Nebraska game, so service was pretty slow, but good whenever the server was able to attend us. Cocktail prices are through the roof, and food is not cheap but super delicious! Would recommend.

    Fish quality is very high and selection is excellent- good for sushi purists. Rice is above average but just misses the top 10% IMO.

    Sushi was good but not outstanding. My $20 special roll could have been more flavorful/interesting and wasn't really worth the cost. Service was excellent. Overall a decent meal but not feeling strongly about returning.

    We were seated at the lounge, and the end seats were very uncomfortable to eat at unless you were willing to sit with legs spread wide. Prices for drinks were very high. And all the rolls, even vegetarian rolls were very high. It was too loud for comfortable conversation, and the portions for the appetizers were way too small. I guess I haven't been there for dinner in a while, but it seemed way more expensive than I remembered it.

    We were a bigger party so we sat in Japango’s succulent room where it was quiet and private. Japango always has great quality sushi, but their premium cuts that are “specials” are exceptional. Japango shines if you frequently eat sushi and are looking for creative spins on traditional plates. They have unique appetizers and drinks as well. Japango has invested in their mixology team and it shows in their drink offerings. They offer sophisticated non-alcoholic drinks that are for adult palates and aren’t too sweet. Japango is a worth the trip.

    Overall, it was probably closer to a 4.5. We didn’t get our drinks until halfway through the meal. The food was very good. It was very expensive too. In fact, my husband’s medium sized Kraft of sake was $54.

    The menu is fine. The seaweed salad was fresh but minimally seasoned. The magic mushrooms were a standout appetizer. The sushi rolls are tasty. Each had clear flavors, but nothing stood out as an item that couldn’t be found at similar establishments. The zero proof, non alcoholic cocktails are delicious. The yuzu cucumber lemonade was crisp and refreshing without being overly sweet—a common offender of NA mixed drinks. Overall, Japango is always enjoyable, but a bit overpriced for the experience.

    This used to be the best place to go for sushi, but the quality and presentation is not the same anymore. Too bad. It's in a great location with a nice ambiance and nice outdoor seating if that is one desires. However, if you are looking for great sushi, look elsewhere. Japango is just average.

    Unfortunately this was not a good experience. All of the sushi tasted very low quality or stale/old. Pretty fishy and not fresh looking. Our waiter kept forgetting about us and we had to ask several times for simple things like soy sauce.
