Japango

Japango is everything Fort Collins needed. For years I’ve heard the same universal complaint that we needed good sushi. Japango is great sushi. I love that the rolls aren’t overdone and over sauced. The rolls also have thoughtful ingredients - one of my favorite rolls has orange zest and sake butter on top for example. You can really tell that the sushi chefs take pride in their rolls and everything always comes out beautifully plated. They also carry a new feature list each week that offer special cuts like Kanpachi, Otoro, Aji as an example. There’s a huge list of yummy hot items like gyozas, lobster potstickers, pork belly and chicken teriyaki to name a just a few. The aesthetics of Japango are also stunning. There’s a live jelly fish tank and a private glass room for larger parties. I love the details in all the glassware, the plates and how the building always feels cozy, open, airy. Lastly the bar is impressive. Each cocktail provided is so special and curated perfectly. They have a huge Japanese whiskey collection and a very impressive lineup of cold sakes and non-alcoholic beverages. They also offer a huge list of hot teas and Japanese beers. I don’t know anywhere in Fort Collins that provides this kind of beverage menu that benefits everyone in this fashion. Japango has a kids menu, provides options for those who are celiac and gluten free, vegetarians and vegans. If you’re looking for an experience it’s right here - quality always takes time and any wait is always worth it.

We were so excited to learn they opened a Fort Collins location! My husband has celiac so we’re limited on sushi options… They can pretty much make anything gluten-free except fried rolls. Pricey but the quality is so good and worth it. The staff is super friendly too!
