Bakso So'un & Mie Ayam Lodaya — Restaurant in Bandung City

This is a highly specialized restaurant; the menu consists only of two main dishes, beef meatballs with rice noodles served in light beef broth and a sweet savory chicken noodles, several Chinese-style light fried snacks, and a small assortment of common roadside vendor-style drinks such as sweet iced tea and orange juice. They serve food in rather small portions, so either avoid coming here on a completely empty stomach, or expect to order seconds. They're also very expensive; one bowl of chicken noodles costs 19k (for perspective, vendors commonly charge as little as 8k for a slightly more filing portion). Fortunately, they are all worth the cost. Both main dishes taste incredible, and the drinks, simple as they may be, are refreshing. You can quickly tell that all the money they charge you for the meal goes to first rate ingredients and skilled chefs working the kitchen. They place is a bit lacking in atmosphere because it's full and crowded, but otherwise it's a wonderful little place to eat. Highly...

The place's pretty jampacked. Even thought that, the atmosphere's really good. The service in this place is very nice. The waiters and waitress are kind. The services are fast. For the food, I guess it's good enough. The meatball broth is so-so. In my opinion, the meatballs are really good. You can really taste the meat there. But the real spotlight is the rice noodle (so'un), it taste really nice. You can also add toppings like kriuk-kriuk and pangsit. I myself thinks that the combination of the broth, so'un, and the kriuk-kriuk is really nice. It blends together nicely. For the price, I think it's overpriced because the portion is quite small. If you have finished eating, this place has desert. But, there is a really great durian shredded ice just outside the restaurant. If the broth was more tasty and the price was better I'd...

Nothing special taste-wise, but worth to try. Strong umami taste of meatball soup, I like it. The noodle (mie ayam) was very sweet. The chicken leg had a strong taste and soft textured.

They have very fast service, make order, wait no more than 30 seconds, then your foods are on the table. But it wasn't too crowded when I visit, don't know with different situation.

The waitresses talk only in polite Javanese (Jawa krama). Maybe they want to make it as their signature: Restaurant in Bandung, that is a Sundanese-speaking area, yet they serve in Javanese.

Toilets are available, even though not really clean.

Paid street parking available.

At the time I visit, no one was smoking, so it's...
