It also means that JAL gets some Japanese style menu items into the QF lounge, at least around the times of JAL flights, as is done at the AA ORD Flagship lounge prior to the JL flight.

This is very timely for me. I have a flight in Jan, JL736 HKG-NRT.
As an AA EXP, I have used the F section of the Pier Business class lounge while the Pier F lounge was closed. I was planning to check out the new Pier F lounge, but if the QF lounge sounds similar, I may check out QF before checking out the Pier.

The QF lounge isn't an F lounge (nor is it a J lounge - it's sort of in between). It's a joint lounge like the QF SIN lounge.

The food at QF is really good. If you have access only to J lounges, I'd say QF J is better than CX J.
I *think* the QF lounge is way too big for QF. I wonder if QF might have wanted someone to contract their lounge from the beginning.

A number of other airlines contract to use the lounge. The QF flights are in HKG in the late afternoon/evening. The lounge is open almost all day (0930-2330), the HKG lounge is open longer then the SIN lounge where QF has more flights.
