Please take my opinions at your own risk... :P

The buffet spread is quite grand with various type of cuisines served to fulfill your appetite. However, to me, the arrangement of the setting seems a little bit unorganized. There have been mixed opinions regarding the buffet. In my humble opinion, the variety of food is huge and there are many special food served, such as the Alaskan crab, king prawn, etc. Some hits among the patrons are the Häagen-Dazs® Ice-cream and coconut (Yup, really, they were all grabbed in a few minutes). Oh ya, oysters need to be ordered too, as in the cook only pass a pair of oysters to you upon ordering at the counter (you would get it immediately though).

But, the tastes of these food are somehow average or below average. With the price at near RM 90 for the supper buffet, I was expecting more. To my dismay, my views stand with those who have negative opinions about Jogoya buffet. Though my reviews might sound discouraging, I still think that if you haven't been to this restaurant before, it is good to try it out, at least for the variety of food that you could enjoy there, especially when there is promotion now.

Some tips for the buffet:
* Please make sure you do your booking before you go especially when there are promotions as the crowd can be very overwhelming.
* Booking are easier to make in the morning than other time of the day (based on my experience :P, but it could be due to the fact that there is ongoing promotion now).
* I suggest that you drop your clips on those items which need pre-ordering first as it would take some time for the items to be ready and served in front of you. Then you can go for some ready-to-take food. :P
