Have always wanted to try out this sister shop of the revered Gaia, Va Bene, and Isola, despite the flurry of negative reviews.Given that it was a weekday, the cafe was expectantly not crowded, which was a good thing. That allowed for greater appreciation of the decor in the absence of excessive noise too common in Hong Kong.Amid the evening chills, warm water was presented without a hint of disdain. The order taking was smooth and precise, in contrast to earlier reviews (below). The food was

不寫食評也不知，原來這是間5個「淒涼面」對兩個「笑面」的餐廳，真的吃得咁淒涼？剛經歷完千軍萬馬的場面，可幸還能全身而退。大戰過後，想找個地方給自己舒舒服服的吃一頓午飯，順步來了圓方的這裡，本想去另一間西洋日本料理店吃松花堂便當，但最後來了這邊，因為光線充足，感覺較閒適一點，是日想以氣氛先行。室內簡緻舒適的佈置，陽光自偌大的落地玻璃窗透入。在幾款午餐中隨便做了選擇，先來一支有氣礦泉水，拿一本雜誌來看看，靜靜的享受這裡的優美環境及氣氛。先來幾款麵包，也不是熱的，味道卻又不錯。最喜歡的是其中的蕃茄包及小牛油包，非常鬆軟，吃起很有香味。麵包條及脆片反而是腍腍的，只屬一般。前菜要了海鮮沙律，切條的蘿蔔絲，堆在切薄片的魷魚及蝦上，賣相很好。魷魚及蝦吃起來也很軟熟，頗鮮美，配襯起蘿蔔絲及沙律菜，與及酸酸的油醋汁，幾清新，亦醒胃；主菜選了簡單的Spaghetti alla Carbonara，意大利粉煮得很有咬口，Carbonara醬汁濃濃的亦很有煙肉的香味，如果芝士的味道更濃一點就更好了。雖然是日的已很不錯，但我覺得，配carbonara醬汁的，最好不是意大利粉，而必定是長通粉；最後要了雙份的濃咖啡

Went there with my wife and little princess on Sunday evening (18 May 2008) as my little princess wanted to have western cuisine. Joia is an Italian restaurant.We arrived there at about 7pm, which was quite empty at that time. We well served by a Filipino waitress, who was courteous and attentive. After we placed our order, my little princess fell asleep, as she had playing for a long time that time. The Filipino waitress got some cushion to make my little princess comfortable.My wife and I

Last Sunday I went to Joia for dinner with 3 friends to celebrate my friend's birthday. It was 70% empty when we got there and initially the service was a bit overwhelming (6-7 waitors to serve the 4 of us) but nonetheless OK. Trouble started when we was ordering wine. My fd asked for a bottle of white "A" and the waitor was keen for us to have "B". The waitor then offered to show us "B" so that we can have a look and see if we like it. After he bought us "B", my fd was still unsure and it was t

I have been expecting to try Joia after reading some commentary on this restaurant in the local medium. Eventually I tried this restaurant (the one on the roof) last week. Since it was a Thursday, the restaurant was not that crowded as expected; however, the environment was surprisingly noisy. We were arranged with a table leaning against the wall in the middle of the restaurant hall. That table did not fit into the dining atmosphere as the setting was like an extension for meeting unexpected d

元旦夜去了圓方，幸好在沒訂枱 之下都有位，可能圓方太多食肆可以選擇。餐廳分兩層，樓下較為casual，而樓上才是fine dinning，兩者裝修截然不同。點了菜後，送上餐前麵包及小食。麵包有5、6款之多，另配上自家製的甘荀牛油；而餐前小食是用了百里香及茶來醃的吞拿魚，味道頗為清淡，吃不出那兩款香草醃製。上面的小蕃茄甜甜酸酸，是道開胃菜。頭盤是煎鵝肝焦糖燉蛋，鵝肝煎到熟透，口感有點似雞遤 ；那滑而香的焦糖燉蛋，即是甜品中的creme brulee。配搭特別，有別於傳統的香煎鵝肝。帶子墨汁意大利飯配吞拿魚籽-每粒飯均被鳥黑黑的墨汁包著，細細的吞拿魚籽也不覺其存在，因已被墨汁的鮮味搶走了；飯粒的軟硬度稱職，帶子煎得較乾身。龍蝦意粉-賣相有心思，意粉被牛油紙包著，侍應打開牛油紙時，有連殼的龍蝦，味道有點似在酒樓的上湯龍蝦伊麵，意粉是硬身，不是那種al dente硬得來彈牙。最後一定要食甜品來結尾，本來想食兩個甜品，可惜只有5、6款選擇，款式不夠吸引，最後只能揀了一個濃朱古力慕絲伴朱古力雪芭，雪芭質感較實在，而朱古力mousse的味道濃厚，沾了雲呢拿汁，沒有甜膩感覺，反而配搭得宜。讚一讚其服務

「有又煩、無又煩」，坐在Elements的Joia的露天位置，聽著兩位朋友眼下的情況，只能以路人甲的身分默默的吃著薄餅，是用Wood Oven焗的意式薄餅，材料有巴馬火腿、羅勒、水牛芝士及意大利茄，餅底留有薄脆與軟熟的質感，餡與番茄醬味道也豐富，惟火力過猛，剩下半碟焦餅碎。朋友點的「毛澤東」打了兩轉也沒浮出泡沫，無奈地噴了兩口煙；自己的Earl Grey，收這個價錢原來是包剪掉茶包招牌之物，Giga集團出品，以同級數的餐廳相比，Harlan's集團收同樣價錢，待客之道卻來得更體貼窩心，起碼那邊的茶壺最少盛著1/3的茶葉。沒趣的Boxing Day，氣結地吃過Tea後，早早回家做菜好了。

本人很喜歡閱讀飲食雜誌,然後嘗試新的食府. 2007年12月7日的" 飲食男女" 介紹意大利菜, 其中幾間已曾嘗試, 亦認同雜誌的評論.但雜誌對位於九龍站圓方的Joia 的負面批評, 令本人提起一試之意念(本人未曾嘗此新的食府), 上周未中午, 專程到Joia Cafe 中午自助餐. " 飲食男女" 記者評論因不用等候才姑且值得一試的自助餐, 實在值得商確. 原本也不抱太大的期望.看到廚不是地道的意大利, 而是一位印度人.心裡不禁對食物的質素已先入為主下定論了.放在桌上的食物擺放得很細緻及吸引, 所以食慾也很快回來.奇怪, 一位印度廚師能做出這樣美味的意大利食品, 實在Wonderful!我喜歡的有用焗爐焗的七彩燈籠椒, 清新的天然香味, 令我吃了五碟!此外, 火煺酥亦一絕. 令我不禁找著這位廚師請教, 才知道他已在香港有18 年意大利餐廳的經驗. 正所謂人不可以貌相.由於" 飲食男女"有欠公允, 特提筆舒發表達, 讓其他愛吃之士, 試後再作評論.謝謝.schan

自己搞錯了時間，週一夜晚突然空閒下來。龍知我一直想到Joia嘆茶，早放的他便提早到達留位，讓我一放工便可以來享受一頓late tea!　Afternoon tea的地點是2樓的cafe & bar area，並非樓上roof garden的Ristorante位，環境沒有預期中的雅緻，比起姐店isola略有不及；然而週一的elements水靜河飛，那種難得的寧靜氣氛十分好受!　食物反而是其次了，不過也約略介紹一下吧：咸點有煙三文魚、火雞肉及菠菜芝士軟包，以及芝士橄欖蕃茄沙律，用料頗新鮮呢；甜點有輕芝士切餅、brownie、朱古力泡芙、杯裝fruit yogurt、迷你果撻以及曲奇，普遍水準不錯，當中我最欣賞有濃濃朱古力味的brownie，比mrs fields出品更甜更漏更得我心。　要了兩杯cappuccino，是lavazza出品，香醇美味，是個美好的結尾。　服務也不錯，專業有耐性，兩人可以坐著舒服的閒聊，的確是段很甜美的時光。多謝龍的安排與疼愛! ^_^

It was my bday dinner, and my goods friends were kind enough spending time to pick out a new restaurant. They had warned me none of them try it. And i thought what the heck! Talk about the bread. It is like a rock. I never feel a bread as hard as that one. I tossed it to the waitress w/o saying a word and even she started apologizing. The whole basket was like that.I tried the lobster salad. It was a disaster. I don't know what's it called but it looked like jelly. It was bitter as if it we

ｏ岩ｏ岩開張第一晚去試，樓上ｖｉｐoccupied，所以我地坐樓下ｏ個層。夜晚八點幾得我地一檯客，不過以佢\走ｏ既路線來講service唔係好得囉...到我地食完晒野佢\先拎個dinner menu出lai(我地之前睇ｏ個個係all day menu)，佢\話因為今日係第一日開張，廚房未準備好喎...可能因為我同個fd係做完gym著住sports wear過去，比人歧視啦??!我地全晚ｏ係有限ｏ既all day menu揀左四樣野食: ham with melon & watermelon: ham好soft，同我地平時食開ｏ既parma ham好唔同~而味道亦比較清淡...同佢\捲住火箭菜食都幾香，捲melon/water melon食就略\"yim\"口感有ｄ奇怪，不過都ok~ soft-centered mozarrella wtih tomato 簡直100分!分量係細左ｄ，但mozarrella配意大利蕃茄真係好好味~佢\ｄ蕃茄唔同一般餐\廳，佢\係用飛機貨，所以味道口感都一流。risotto in pepermint sauce (with grilled fish) 感覺
