• Happy Hour All Day Mondays

It was my birthday, and we were in Boulder. Did a Happy Cow search, and found a well-respected vegan buffet, and went to the restaurant only to discover that it's only served on Fridays, and the rest of the week there is virtually nothing vegan on their menu. Disappointed, but feeling adventurous, we headed for the Pearl Street pedestrian mall, thinking we'd find something nice. Japango looked like it would fit the ticket, with sushi and veg options, cool modernist atmosphere, and a patio on the mall. Lucky for us, it was Monday, and they have "Happy Hour All Day Mondays". That meant $3 appetizers, so we could try a variety of things. I had Agedashi - lightly battered tofu with mushrooms in tempura sauce, and Atsuage - deep fried and lightly grilled tofu topped with soy sauce and ginger. We shared some of the best Vegetable Tempura I've had anywhere. I also had miso soup, since it was lunchtime, which was also quite good. I'll be back next time I'm in Boulder. I'll try the Vegetarian Bento Box (which I almost ordered) with vegetable gyoza + cucumber hand roll + vegetable tempura. Or the Vegetarian Sushi Dinner (specifying vegan, of course, which they seem happy to accommodate.) Apparently Japango has other restaurants in Florida, San Diego, and Toronto. They definitely know what they're doing. I am quite happy to recommend Japango.
