My husband decided he wanted to try the special chef's menu at Japango so we went.
Personally, I don't feel comfortable spending too much money on food but for my husband, food is his life and he is willing to splurge. I opted for the vegetable udon instead and it was delicious!!! Albeit a little on the small side, the noodles were the perfect texture and chewiness - and tasted very fresh! The broth was light and flavourful too. Very good :)
As for the chef's menu ... it was definitely over priced (in my husband's opinion) and definitely left him hungrier than when we arrived. I think the cost is $70ish dollars and you get 7 or 8 dishes. The portions are TEENY ... and he shared with me and our little guy - whereas I didn't really share my noodles with him. And the only reason I didn't really share my meal with him was because he wanted to save himself for all the dishes from the chef's menu. And unfortunately these dishes came out SLOW ... I think it took like 1.5 hours for all the dishes to come out. So by that time, I was already finished my noodles and both the little guy and I were sampling his ... so, poor guy left feeling hungry and disappointed.
Basically, the Chef's Menu is quite nice for dainty eaters but is not quite a good fit for buffet lovers.
