Sukiya affordable type so nothing special. Want the atas type jap buffet. Up to 200+ a person also ok.

Overpriced imho.

I think it's RM160++.

Sashimi selection not enough for me.

I only equate buffet with western food. Jap food you want quality not quantity.

My staple is Sukishi/Sukiya. Best bang for the buck. When I feel like eating better cuts of meat, I go to MoMo. Jogoya is my once in a while indulgence. Wagyu tavern only been there once, freaking awesome wagyu beef, but it's going to be a once-in-a-lifetime thing only coz become pokai after that

There is no good buffet place, unless it just recently opened. Anything that has opened for a while will be sub-standard and for the same price you can get a MUCH better meal elsewhere.

Even going to rakuzen will be better than jogoya.

had Jogoya yesterday with wife since she insist for her birthday. sweat.gif

I'd say 50% of the displayed food there isn't nice. Either doesn't taste good puke.gif or just average. Fried ones ok but those with sauce or steam many are bad. At least if a food not up to your taste.. just let them get rid of it.

But if you use the provided pins ask them cook (put in the bowls in front of each booth), then those all also nice and fresh. Flavor also good. thumbsup.gif Honestly if I were to start again, keep ordering these till full is best strategy.

Dessert then I think it's good since got free flow Haagen Daz ice cream. Utterly ice cream there I tried D24 flavour, but so yucky with bitter taste. Cakes and swiss roll like normal, nothing to shout about.


Alcohol another plus point for those big drinkers. Free flow wine, sake, and 3 other cocktails. For me I just drank 2 glasses.

Verdict: Don't feel worth paying RM150 for this. moneyflies.gif
Also I had diarrhea during night time, likely due to the 2 raw oysters I ate there (even after squeeze lemon). Would not advice eating raw ones, not worth the trouble later. sad.gif

Strange that I see the whole restaurant full after we came in at 1.30pm (hence best do reservation first). Seriously no idea why people like it so much hmm.gif would rather just eat at Sukiya or some similar steamboat buffett if wanna eat a lot, RM50+ a person good enough for a buffet.
