Dined at Jogoya at Starhill Gallery on Sunday (Jan 20)… my 2nd visit to the restaurant in 3 months. I didn’t expect to revisit Jogoya so soon, as the previous dining experience was just ok… but my brother was treating this time… I couldn’t refuse :)

Frankly… the food quality has improved a lot. The fresh oysters and steamed fishes are still as good as it used to be, but the other food like tempura, dim sum, dessert (cakes) and various cooked food are much better than last time.

I happily devoured 2 plates of tempura (not the ideal food to have in Japanese buffet, but I simply love tempura too much) this time, whereas I could barely finished half a plate last time because it was too oily and somehow stinky.

Overall a good lunch this round… I still think it’s slightly overpriced, but at least I could recommend my friends to try it out after this 2nd dining experience.

Jogoya is at the Relish floor of Starhill Gallery; reservation number is 03-21421268; opening hours from 11.30am to 1am (Mon-Fri) and 11am to 1am on weekends and public holidays.

It has almost been 2 years since Jogoya (from Taiwan) opened its branch in Kuala Lumpur at Starhill Gallery. I had read some good stuff about Jogoya prior to my first visit last Saturday (Oct 13, 2007), but I think it’s a bit overrated.
