I’ve been coming to Japango for many years, and it has become my go-to spot for celebrating my birthday every year.

hands down best service i've ever had in a restaurant !!

The service was excellent, everything came out quickly and the waiter was quick to fill our water and pour us some hot sake! I definitely recommen
