"Shangri-La Surabaya's all-day buffet, where live Western, Chinese, Indonesian, Japanese and Italian stations and a long dessert counter feed a celebration."
Jamoo is the all-day dining room of the Shangri-La hotel at Jl. Mayjen Sungkono 120 in Surabaya's Dukuh Pakis district, west of the city centre. It anchors part of our Surabaya coverage as the city's best-known hotel buffet.
The restaurant has run since the hotel opened in 1996, built around open live-cooking stations and a garden terrace. It trades on breadth and spectacle rather than a single chef's signature.
The format is a buffet of live stations — Western, Chinese, Indonesian, Japanese and Italian — alongside a salad bar, a barbecue section and a large dessert counter. Freshly sliced salmon sashimi, grilled prawns and made-to-order noodles are the draws.
Indonesian standards anchor the local side, and guest-chef nights have featured MasterChef Indonesia runner-up Agus Sasirangan. Dinner runs around IDR 458,000++ a head on weekends, with a la carte also offered.
The dining room is broad and softly lit, opening onto an outdoor garden terrace for evening service. It seats large parties easily, which makes it a default for hotel events and family celebrations.
Service is attentive in the Shangri-La mould, and birthday cakes and table touches are part of the experience. Book ahead for weekend dinner and for the terrace.
Jamoo suits a large team dinner, a hotel business lunch or a family anniversary. For other Surabaya tables, compare De Soematra and Incognito.
Not for diners after an intimate a la carte dinner or a quiet room — it is a large hotel buffet built for groups, breadth and live-station spectacle.
