1. I ordered this using an online ojek app, so do not know the service and how the ambience of the restaurant is but the food is good! Love the chicken wings here, my ultimate comfort food. I usually order level 1 because I like to enjoy the taste without the pain of extreme spiciness.
2. Besides the wings, I also really like the potato wedges. Because even though the wings I order are just level 1, it still has a bit of kick to it which is what the wedges is for. A sweet flavour profile to neutralize the crazy spiciness of the wings.

What could be improved 🙏
Not really an improvement, but a suggestion. For the combo menus, would be nice if there was an option to upgrade the drink to a regular soda as opposed to tea/pink lava. Because I think wings go better with soda.

1. Vast array of meat choices from beef, chicken to fish.
2. They now expand their sauces to 4++ choices of sauces to dip in! The best ones were the Ponzu and Spicy Teriyaki.
3. Favourite meat choice you have to try: juicy ribs and spicy beef.
4. Singkong Thailand is the bomb, very, very soft a great way to end your meal.

What could be improved 🙏
1. Some dish can be a tad bit salty, so things can get overwhelming.
2. If only there were a choice of bland/unflavoured drinks like plain soda water, ocha or water! Every drinks were all very, very sweet.

1. Aesthetically pleasing, the interior is simple yet beautiful with a neon instagram spot. The place has an outdoor and indoor area available.
2. I typically try to avoid beautiful restaurants because that is usually what they offer. Beauty with nothing much going on. (Not always, but most of the time!). Wokey cannot relate. The place is aesthetic but does not neglect the most important thing about any restaurant... taste. Tried the mie 3 rasa, flavourful with just a hint of spiciness. At first I thought the portion seemed small, but I was quite full. They also have customizable menu so that is always good.
3. Lots of affordable dim sum choices.
4. Great service and the cooking process is quite fast, as you can see from the open kitchen I believe there are 5 chefs who are ready to cook your order.

What could be improved 🙏
1. Limited parking spot, fit 3 cars with normal parking and 5 if parallel.
2. The mie 3 rasa was just slightly more oily than I typically like my noodles. If I come back I think I would request that the noodles should not be too oily, that way the true flavours can truly shine.
3. I believe the payment option currently is cash only, so bring enough cash with you. Spending per person would range anywhere between 35-80K or more depending on what you order, and how hungry you are.

1. Generous portion! A good deal for Katsu Mentai for 40K (not too cheap, but not too expensive). I like the katsu and rice ratio, plenty of katsu and mentai, with just the right portion of rice.
2. Taste of mentai is divine, you will definitely want to come back.
3. Quite a nice and bright ambience with smoking and non-smoking areas outdoor, even though the restaurant is not that big the place still remain cozy and comfortable.
4. They have quite interesting menus, and I will definitely come back to try what they are known for: the curry as well as other food like mentai toast, spicy noodle curry and desserts. I have a feeling this would be my new favourite place.

What could be improved 🙏
1. Limited parking spot for cars, however there is a convenience store nearby with a big parking lot so you can buy something there and park there a while.
2. I was wondering why the rice was a bit oily, turns out it was served with butter rice. I did not see the point of an already good katsu mentai served with butter rice, it just added an oily feel with no extra flavour. With that being said, I really enjoyed the katsu mentai.

1. The caramelized taste of teriyaki beef, ultimate comfort food. Always there when you are feeling down. Just like an old friend. Ay.
2. The hot sauce from Hokben keeps me coming back, it's perfect paired with the egg chicken roll paired with their rice.
3. Hokben rice is also beautifully made.

What could be improved 🙏
Consistency of quality of meat. Yes, I know it's cheap and a fast food. But sometimes their meat is great, sometimes it has too much fat. Other than that, Hokben, love ya.

1. Pelayanan cepat, tidak perlu menunggu lama untuk masakkan datang.
2. Kremesnya enak, gurih dan kriusnya pas dikombinasiin sama ayam gorengnya.
3. Dulu gw suka sambel merahnya, gw udah makan di tempat ini sebelum dia jadi tempat gede sekarang, sejak 2002 (kemudian merasa tua). Dulu sambel merahnya itu khas tapi entah kenapa sekarang berubah. Lucunya saat sambel merah berubah, ada sambel bawang yang datang menggantikan. Sambel bawangnya menurut gw enak. Balance pedes dan manisnya dapet jadi bikin makan semangat. Dan sambel bawang ini yang jadi alasan gw kembali.
4. Sate telur puyuhnya bumbunya ngeresep, jangan sampe kelewatan.

1. Sayur asemnya rasanya suka nggak konsisten. Kadang manis dan kadang biasa dan hambar. Kalo gw prefer sayur asem yang manis.
2. Ini bukan saran ke Soto Bu Tjondro tapi es podeng yang di luar. Es podengnya enak tapi entah kenapa kadang merasa mereka jualan karena sekedar hobi. Datengnya siang dan habisnya cepet kemudian ternyata lagi ngambilnya esnya di rumah. Baik. Sayang aja, karena es podengnya enak!

1. I think they have the best hazelnut milk tea in Jakarta. You can taste the hazelnut, the milky taste and the sugar does not overly dominate the drink.
2. Price of food is relatively affordable, a good value although not the biggest in portion.
3. Place has plenty of seats.

What could be improved 🙏
1. Signs to Fat Bubble. The signs to the restaurant could be bigger so people will know there is a Fat Bubble inside the building.
2. Grass jelly milk tea was quite meh, did not have any particular strong flavour.

Grass jelly milk tea R topping grass jelly (24K): 7.04/10
