The food and service were fantastic! Overall, I would highly recommend a visit to this establishment. We have visited multiple times and are always impressed. Shoutout to our server Matthew for giving us a memorable time! A great variety of food and drinks with a chill environment. I wish I remembered all the different names of the rolls we tried, but I know we had the Diablo, Himalayan, Asparagus, Cucumber, Loch Ness, and Sweet Potato rolls. We had the veggie tempura, Agedashi, house salad, and Miso soup for appetizers. For drinks we tried the plain green tea, Little Monster, Japanese Soda, and some Hot Sake. To finish it off we had a Dessert Bento box with some extra mochi. So delish! Our only complaint on the food was the salads. First off, u must mix the dressings! Second, the complaint, the salad is just lettuce!!! Put some tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, radish, ANYTHING, to freshen it up.

It is perfectly fine. Happy hour all-day Mondays (although nothing happy about $8 well drinks.) I have been here a few times over the years. I do not think the quality and price match. The two of us recently spent over a hundred on happy hour for a few hand rolls, hamachi, two drinks, and some potstickers. Oh, and one oyster shot. We understand we aren’t necessarily filling up on small bites like this and are paying for speciality food, but I’ve paid less for more and better fish. The ‘specialty roll’ was the most underwhelming of all. Drinks are always yum.

I've visited this restaurant multiple times before for both lunch and dinner. I even left a review previously because the miso soup was too salty, but I'm glad to see that it seems to have improved now. My husband and I went for a late dinner tonight after working out. However, I believe this will be our last visit. We came out for a change of mood, but it only made us feel worse.🙁 There were several issues today: 1. When the water was poured into my glass, I found a hair. I understand this wasn't intentional, so I tried to overlook it. 2. However, I then found something like a hair in the tuna tempura. At this point, my confidence in your hygiene standards was significantly shaken. I didn't mention it to the server, but I was quite displeased. 3. My husband and I each ordered a main course, and both are supposed to come with miso soup. Yet, only my husband's soup was served. I waited, assuming it would come as part of the set, but it never did until I inquired. It was then served belatedly. 4. The main course rice bowl was placed directly on a plate that was already covered in sauce. Is it proper serving etiquette to place the rice bowl on a sauce-covered plate? 5. The rice itself was partially undercooked, with a mix of soft and hard grains. 6. After finishing our meal, when we tried to sign the bill, the pen didn't work. I feel like this is something that could be checked before bringing it to the customer. Overall, it was a very disappointing dining experience today. I hope to see improvements in your hygiene and service in the future.

The food was fresh, high quality and imaginative. A special shout out to our server Wyatt! He was so personable and called me by my first name from the open table reservation, when initially greeting us. Wyatt was especially attentive, and executed our gluten free request accurately. Most of all he offered me a very genuine and kind Birthday wish when serving us dessert so much so that it made my girlfriend tear up. There are so many great restaurants in Boulder, but in my opinion service is what sets them apart and Wyatt should be recognized for his hard work, effort and kindness. Thank you Japango for helping us celebrate this last Fish Friday of the Lent season and reeling in an awesome 40th Birthday Celebration.

We dined here for lunch. We ate inside because it was an unusually hot day in Boulder. It was beautifully decorated. The menu had great selections, and the food was delicious and artfully and creatively displayed. The edamame and lobster potsticker appetizers were delicious. My husband and daughter enjoyed their Miso Soup. I had the garden salad which was lovely with the citrus dressing. My Lochness Monster Roll was vegetarian and delicious. My daughter had avocado rolls, her favorite. My husband had the salmon bento box, which he enjoyed. Our server was pleasant, helpful, and efficient. A lovely dining experience. Glad we found it while walking down the street (hungry).
