Imam Fauzi: I first knew this restaurant as Mandala. The room is more spacious than the old restaurant, also more comfortable and bright with excellent, friendly, and quick service.
Prasodo Datu: First time at this restaurant was on a friend's recommendation. The atmosphere inside is comfortable, welcomed with dozens of cat statues, and overall the menu items we ordered were very delicious with generous portions.

Midnight cravings? Their bubur gurame (congee with grilled fish) is hands-down the best Chinese comfort food in Jakarta Selatan.

Awri Labels: Rating 7.7/10 for the porridge which is delicious with dense texture and generous servings - one order can serve 3-4 portions. The fried dough (cakwe) is super delicious, and I want to order it again next time.
Hong Gie: This is one of their branches, very comfortable place with the same menu as the Pecenongan location. Ordered Gurame fish porridge, pepper salt tofu, and fried dough - mixing them all together was really great!

Best Chinese Food in Jakarta Pusat (Central Jakarta)
Restaurant Rendezvous
Alamat: Jalan Johar No.2B-C, RT.18/RW.6, Kb. Sirih, Kec. Menteng, Daerah Khusus Ibukota Jakarta 10340
This old-school joint serves what might be Jakarta's most nostalgic Chinese food. Their siomay (steamed dumplings) taste exactly like they did in the 90s.
Google Reviews
Donn M: A legendary eating place located near Gondangdia station where the room feels like an elegant restaurant model from the past. Don't forget to order siomay and ask for no sambal (if you don't like spicy), and the lychee ice has tons of fruit - excellent!
Endy Subijono: One of the legendary Chinese food restaurants in the Menteng area that has been established for around 20 years and according to the owner (second generation), they have never changed their recipes. We ordered several favorite menus like fried pigeon, fried shrimp, fried frog, chicken noodles, and warm orange juice - everything still tastes good meeting expectations.

Best xiao long bao in town - thin skins holding explosive bursts of flavorful broth. The Szechuan noodles? Spicy enough to make you sweat but you'll keep eating.
Google Reviews
Kenny Kurniawan: This is my umpteenth time eating here and it never fails. Today I tried the Szechuan chicken mushroom minced La Mian with its unique nutty taste and slight sourness possibly from black vinegar.
Stephen Santosa: Located in Plaza Indonesia with a comfortable and quite luxurious atmosphere. Quite delicious with authentic Chinese flavors but without pork, and the Chinese tea still has a fairly strong and pleasant taste.

Alamat: Jl. Sukarjo Wiryopranoto No.69A 7, RT.7/RW.1, Maphar, Kec. Taman Sari, Kota Jakarta Barat, Daerah Khusus Ibukota Jakarta 11150
That crispy oyster appetizer? Hands down some of the best Chinese seafood in Jakarta we've tried. Michelin-recognized for good reason - every dish sings with fresh, clean flavors.
Google Reviews
Nelly Laiwandy: Our family has often eaten here; the food is delicious and the place is comfortable. On double dates, members get 50% points from the total transaction in rupiah that can be deducted from the next transaction - one of my recommended restaurants in Jakarta.
Ling: Eating with friends of different faiths at PUTIEN is very suitable because not all their food is non-halal and some can be requested to be made halal. The three-flavor spinach is delicious with prominent salted egg and century egg flavors, while the spinach also tastes fresh.

Those colorful xiao long bao aren't just pretty - each hue delivers unique flavors. The kimchi version? Game-changing Chinese fusion in Jakarta.
Google Reviews
Nicko Saputra: The service here is neatly organized with a barcode waiting list system for each visitor, and they're friendly & responsive with attention to food recommendations for consumers. The yangzhou fried rice is savory, not mushy & has a smoky flavor, while the xiao long bao is a must-try with its delicious taste and authentic hot meat broth that mixes in your mouth.
Renaldi Julianto: I think the xiao long bao is delicious with several topping variants from kimchi to chicken and many others. The kungpao chicken has less meat than cashew nuts but isn't too spicy.

Best Chinese roast pork in Jakarta hands down - their babi hong has that perfect caramelized crust with melt-in-your-mouth fat.
Google Reviews
One Stop Store Jakarta: One of the best non-halal Chinese Food restaurants in my opinion - always crowded during meal times, especially weekends. I've eaten here very often; whenever there's an event we frequently hold it here because the taste is delicious and the price is totally worth it.
Jo Jo: I'm pleased with the food at this restaurant - the Teo Chew steamed fish 5/5, Kailan with garlic 4/5, Sliced chicken with mantou 3.5/5, Tofu with shrimp 4/5. Note for management: fried mantou should not be cut into two pieces as it's difficult to fill with sliced chicken when small.

That magical "ssss" sound when they uncover their claypot dishes? Music to our ears. For rainy day, their claypot tofu is hands-down some of the best Chinese comfort food in Jakarta.
Google Reviews
Reve Fooday: One of my favorite restaurants since childhood with taste still the same as before. The sapo tahu is one of the most delicious I've ever tried and always order when eating here - uniquely served in a clay pot so it stays hot when served.
Michelle: A family restaurant that has been in Sunter for a very long time where we always come for eating gatherings. The taste never changes, always delicious - favorites are sweet and sour gurame, sapo tahu, and Szechuan fried rice.

Portions so huge you'll question the laws of physics. Their mie goreng babi is the best value Chinese noodles in East Jakarta.

Jane Herlin Geralda: Wow, the taste is seriously no joke - super delicious!!! The portions are also plentiful; one portion of fried noodles can feed two people and they're not stingy with toppings at all!
Herodion Savaleo: I LOVE THE FOOD!!! Very authentic, making me nostalgic with every bite. My recommendations are fu yung hai, fried noodles, chicken bistik, and Wee Cam Kee.
