Total: Rp 167.1k (Ramen ~120k, Gyoza ~47k incl. tax & service).

Second time trying Tonkotsu, and honestly? Still not for me. It just doesn’t hit that savory high like a pure Tori Paitan does.

Tonkotsu Char-Su Ramen (120k nett) 3.5/5

Served piping hot, but real talk: MASSIVE LETDOWN. I came here for a brutal pork broth, but it was just bland. The seasoning was super weak. Compared to Sanpachi 368, the collagen isn't nearly as waxy or greasy, none of that fat sticking to your lips vibe. Honestly, it's a total loss compared to the richness of a good Tori Paitan. Way too clean and mid for Tonkotsu. Price-to-performance is garbage, I’d rather just stick to chicken broth.

Grilled Pork Gyoza (47k nett) 3/5

Hardly any meat, and the broth inside was just mid. Only saving graces were the skin and the vinegar, the rest was meh. Plus, it wasn't even hot, felt kind of lukewarm.

First and last time for me.

Signature Beef Ramen (tipe Chumen/mie keriting tebal)

5/5 | 60k include Tax & Service Charge

Kuahnya gurih, milky, waxy di bibir, mirip2 Tori-Paitan S*irock-Ya boldnya. Mie-nya chewy, beef-nya standar empuknya tapi smoky yang dimasak rare ke medium rare, sama telornya perfect matengnya, gooey.

Yakitori Tsukune (Sate Ayam Full Daging Paha Jepang)

4/5 | 16k include Tax & Service Charge

Tipe manis, gurih, smoky & asin shoyu jepang. Butuh cutting the flavours pake chilliflakes/boncabe (udah disedian). Minus kalo kurang beruntung kayak saya, dalemnya kurang mateng dikit lagi atau masih agak dingin.

Cheesetart (55k): 5/5. trust me it's worth it and good for sharing.

Dubai Kunafa Chewy Mochi (24k): 3.5/5. meh mediocre & good for one only.

Total: 79k including tax. QRIS or BCA only.

88k for the Pastrami Sandwich + Chips, plus a 28k add-on for 40g of Corned Beef. Total came to 121k after tax.

​Honestly? The pastrami was good for the first 3 bites, but then the smokiness just got way too overwhelming. The corned beef was also super bland, literally tasted like unseasoned meat from Sop Iga. Just salty, meaty, and the herbs didn't really help. Definitely had to drown it in sauce (cheese or sambal) to make it work.
