Ayam Penyet Ceria — Restaurant in Bandung City

Ayam Penyet Ceria (Before: Ayam Penyet Ria) in Bandung is one of the well-known establishments specializing in traditional Indonesian smashed fried chicken, or ayam penyet, a dish beloved across the archipelago. Originally part of a larger franchise that began in Surabaya, Ayam Penyet Ria made its mark in Bandung by offering a consistent blend of authentic Javanese flavors and accessible comfort food in a clean, family-friendly setting. Its location in busy commercial areas like malls and shopping streets helps it attract a steady stream of locals, families, and office workers looking for a hearty meal that is both satisfying and familiar.

The star of the menu, unsurprisingly, is the ayam penyet itself—a juicy piece of fried chicken smashed flat and served with a generous helping of sambal terasi that packs a bold, spicy punch. It is typically accompanied by fried tofu, tempeh, cucumber, and a bit of lettuce.

Good traditional food restaurant for family. They provide ayam penyet, tempe penyet, udang penyet, lele penyet, and other menu as their best. Not too pricey for delicious food. Around 20k-30k for main course, and around 15k-20k for beverage.

Their service is quite good. Have a small musholla. Plenty parking area. I just know that this restaurant have many branch even overseas.

Recommended for family...

Dan setelah cek struk belanja ternyata pesanan jus alpukat saya tercatat. udah keburu sampai rumah, udah laper banget dan mau makan tapi harus bela belain balik lagi ke restonya untuk minta jus alpukat. untung jus alpukatnya sudah dibuat.

tapi jadinya udah gak mood karena udah kelewat laper.

moral of the story tolong pesenan pelanggan langsung dikasi semua jangan dikasi satu-satu. dan kalaupun harus dikasi satu-satu setidaknya kasi info kalau masih ada pesanan lainnya yang lagi dibuatin.

untung kalau customernya fokus bisa notice pesenan apa yang gak ada, kalau customernya gak fokus gimana? kyak kasus ini jadinya Padahal suka banget sama rasa masakan ceria, bahan yang digunakan selalu fresh. udah sering pesen juga, tapi experience yang terakhir ini agak sedikit mengecewakan dan mulai cari...
