Came here for lunch today, and this place is really crowded during lunch hour. However, by around 130pm, most of the crowd starts to disperse and finding a seat is much easier.
While I was there, noticed quite a few stalls with long queue of people, from the ipoh noodle, to the hougang duck, and curry chicken bee hoon, etc.
However, I was attracted to the crayfish laksa at this stall. For $5, you get one small crayfish, in 2 halves, pieces of chicken, 2 small prawns, and cookles. The portion is not that huge though, so wondering if the crayfish is really that expensive. Compare to the Katong Laksa that I usually have an The Bencoolen, opposite OG, I find the soup or gravvy not as thick, but nevertheless, is still pretty good too. Overall, I find for $5 a bit pricey, and I did not feel that full after my lunch.

My last 2 trips there this year was kinda disappointing as well. First time, somewhere near CNY, a lot of seafood was sold out, even the beer! Thought cos we were there late, so the next time we decided to get there earlier, and this time, the crab where sold out!
Service was also very slow and not enuff people to serve the customers.
Food wise, I think price is still ok, but I think the food is not longer as good as when it was less well known.... planning to try senibong next round...

This is located opposite the Yishun sports hall.... at the cross junction there... if you take mrt, during the durian seasons, u might notice people waiting there... is been 2 years since I been there, not sure if it is still around.

Have not been to Jogoya before, but I've been to the Gonbei opposite. Priced similarly to Jogoya if not wrong, and I thought the service and food was pretty good.

I went with 7 adults and 1 kid, we spent less than $120. I would safely hazard a guess of $18 - $25 per person, depending on how hungry you get. Real value for money for quality food.

Is diagonally opposite Jogoya. Supposedly the quality is better than Jogoya. Price wise, if we convert currency, then Malaysia is cheaper. If we do not convert currency, then Singapore is cheaper. Generally, a japanese buffet in Siingapore is around SGD30+ range.
