Have you all ever heard about Jogoya Restaurant located in Starhill Gallery which is in centre on Bukit Bintang? If you never heard of it before, let me give some brief describe of the restaurant.

Today, me and my dearest went to Jogoya Restaurant located in Starhill Gallery, Bukit Bintang. How to go there? Starhill Gallery is located along Jalan Bukit Bintang which its opposite neighbour is the newly opened Pavilion KL. Infront Starhill Gallery, it is the famouse Bintang Walk which is a street full of cafe and restaurant. After you go in, look for Relish floor. Oh ya, i forgot to tell you what is Relish floor. Actually the floor in Starhill Gallery do not have floor number like usual complex, instead they use the name to represent each floor. So the Jogoya Restaurant is located at Relish floor or third floor.




Jogoya restaurant is a Taiwan based japanese cuisine restaurant. If you love Japanese food especially fresh seafood, go to JOGOYA! However, in Malaysia, we have served with satay and other local cuisine too! Wow!


What Jogoya mean?

Jo- Supreme place

Go- the palace lived by king

Ya- a shop

JOGOYA means a shop which full of culture should be visited by high class people.



Wow! today me and my dearest had suddenly became high class people! phew! So if you want to experienced the day of being rich and enjoying vanity life, go JOGOYA!






There is few package available in the restaurant:

Lunch buffet - RM78 (Weekday is 11.30 am to 1.40pm, Weekend is 11.00 am to 2.00pm)

Late lunch buffet - RM68 (Weekday is 1.40 pm to 4.20pm, weekend is 2 pm to 4.20pm)

Dinner buffet - RM88 (Weedday and Weekend is 5 pm to 9.30pm)

Supper buffet - RM78 (Weekday and Weekend is 9.30pm to 1am)

Kids are charged RM10++ or more depending on their height.


In my opinion, to get your money worth, you should eat 2 or 3 hours there. There are lots of food to be tried out. Its imposible for you to try out all their food.


JOGOYA even having a vip membership program. You will able to enjoy some food which can only enjoy by exclusive vip member with the same price you pay for the buffet! To applicable for the VIP member, you need to have spending of RM1200 in the restaurant.


Before you check in to enjoy your buffet, you have to que at the cashier at the entrance in advance. During weekend and holiday, its advisable that you make reservetion in advance.


After payment made, you will lead by a waiter to your table. Every table is equipted with portable burner so that you can keep your food warm. Some metal clips will also given to you. Some counter which serving cooked meal will have a basket. If you want that meal, just drop your clip in that basket and the food will be served to your table after a moment.




This restaurant is really a huge restaurant! The food counters are spread out through out the restaurant. I suggest that the restaurant add a menu at everytable to guide the guess on what food they provided on each counter.















There is beverage and dessert counter which is some distance away from restaurant entrances. There are alot type of drinks and desert served there! Ranging from tea, coffee, juice, fruits and not to be forgotten, the ice cream! The ice cream here are really delicious as it is haagen daaz, baskin robbin and also some other brand which i don't know where it come from but they all are delicious! I love the sweet coconut water i can enjoy from a tiny coconut supplied in that counter. On the day i went, i even need to wait for 30minutes for the coconut as it is out of stock due to customer high demand! There is also a row of glass counter supplying selection of desserts such as tiramisu, mousse, cheesecake, fruit tarts, cookies, and also pudding.








































Now, i would like to let you guess what is this:





















Answer: It is herbal jelly or known as "Gui Lian Gao"! I sweared that it is the best looking herbal jelly i had ever saw! It has the shape of pearl, wow!

Besides, there is also a counter serving sashimi and sushi. At sashimi counter, you will found a lot of fresh seafood such as oysters, prawns, crabs, scallops and etc.The sushi here are really nice although the choice is abit limited to less than 50 types. Besides the sushi section there is a counter serve cold apetizer such as cold cha soba noodles.

































There is also a counter serving dimsum and also soup. What unique about soup here is the paper pot they use. I wonder how they make the paper pot to fill soup inside. For the soup, you can choose some package they suggest or make you own mix and match to choose from selection of crabs, prawns, scallops, fish cake and vegetable. There is also soup selection of miso soup, chicken soup, tomyam soup and also curry soup. To keep the paper pot soup warm, you can use the portable burner at your table to heat the pot.


























There is also a counter serving western food such as steak and soup. I suggest you should try out the snail dished. Besides, there is also lobster pizza, seafood soup served with puff and waffle.


























































There is also a counter serving skewer such as unagi, chicken wings, fried dory fillet and etc. Besides that, chinese cuisine also served there. You can find dishes such as Singapore spicy crab, abalone fatt choy and etc. There is also an indian food corner for those who prefer spicy food.
















As a conclusion, if you able to pay for the price to dine in Jogoya. Go for it! Its really a great restaurant i can say. One thing i dislike is the staff there are mostly poor in english, so its really hard for you to communicate with them sometimes. Besides, the layout of the restaurant is also confusing. For first timer guess, its hard for them to locate the food counters location. Apart from that, i do not have other comment.

Well done Jogoya!
