Nelayan Mie Jaring — Restaurant in City of Medan

Recently dined at Nelayan Jala Jala - Sun Plaza. The 20-25 min wait and cramped interior made for a less than ideal start. Though the food was alright, its quality didn't quite match the relatively high prices. Friendly but quirky service—sequential dish offers instead of direct orders. Spending around 1.2Juta for 4 adults + 2 kid felt a bit much.

The crowded and stuffy atmosphere, lacking ventilation, affected the overall experience. Food quality was hit or miss; some dishes lacked freshness or were over-seasoned. Pan cake duriyan was served frozen and too hard. Service had its ups and downs, including dirty utensils. Overall, significantly overrated and not entirely worth the price.

Additionally, encountered issues with billing also. Certain dishes were not ordered or served but appeared on the bill. Despite pointing it out, the item wasn't removed. The presence of excessive staff led to occasional confusion, with different tables' bills mistakenly given to us. Caution and thorough verification became necessary during the...

On a Wednesday evening, we dined at a popular Chinese restaurant located in a bustling shopping center in Medan. The restaurant was fairly crowded, adding to the lively atmosphere. We ordered the Peking duck, black pepper beef hotplate rice, and crab xiao long bao. Each dish was delicious, with authentic flavors that truly satisfied.

Service was quick, though it felt a bit intrusive, with too many servers approaching to offer additional items while we were eating. The drink selection was limited to pre-packaged options, which was a bit of a letdown, especially for a restaurant of this caliber. Prices were on the higher side, but given the quality, they felt somewhat justified.

Overall, this restaurant provides a great Chinese dining experience with quick service, though a bit more discretion from staff and a better drink selection would enhance...

One of the best dim sum experiences I've had. Many good dim sum restaurants have evolved into expensive fine dining pseudo-palaces or more economical options that only serve a few dim sum classics; Nelayan retains the heart and spirit of dim sum offering a very wide variety of classic and cleverly adjusted tasty halal dishes. You can order from a menu, but there are also wandering waitresses bearing trays of tempting dim sum to entice you to try more of their dishes. The atmosphere is great - with all the buzz and bustle of a traditional popular dim sum restaurant. The service is good despite the crowds and the prices are...
