Gudeg Yu Djum Pusat — Restaurant in Depok

We want to taste true Yogyakarta as welcoming lunch. We thought of top of mind food which is Gudeg and also top of mind resturant brand which is Gudeg Yu Djum

For those not familiar with what is Gudeg - do a lil research online. My intrepertation of nasi gudeg is type of dish you will find in every city in Indonesia with different style of side dish but with rice as the main ingridients. Nasi Gudeg is optionally serve with these sides chicken, egg, tempe, jackfruit, spicy skin crackers and others

There is few location of Yu Djum restaurant in the city. We go to the central ones acxording to people it tasted better there. So we go

I enjoyed it. Every side dish tasted so good individually and together. Its fresh and intresting flavoured. Its a midly spicy which is nice. Dont forget to add the white crackers onto the equation. Super yummy

It was the rice I think i'm the least happy - as the main dish I think its need more attention of quality and cooking techniques

Overall I think they deserved the raving they've gotten. It is so good and its really is...

Won't go here again. Had a bad experience when I went to Yu Djum years ago (food was so so, service was bad), came here again because my parents wanted to go here.

I looked at the other table, they came late, and straight away got the food from the preparation station because he took it and asked the server. It was a mess. Yu Djum's owner or management should learn about the better queuing system from their fellow gudeg place like Gudeg 'Permata', they serve good food and give better queuing system, it's worth to wait because they give the food based on our number, not based on which order receipt that...

I love the sweet taste of their gudeg perfectly balanced and rich in flavor! The krecek is definitely the highlight of the dish, offering the perfect level of spice and texture. However, the chicken, while flavorful, felt a bit dry for my taste.

The restaurant itself has a nostalgic charm, though it could use some touch ups as the space feels a bit worn out. One concern I had was the hygiene of the rattan plate, which seemed slightly unclean. I requested a replacement, and the staff was accommodating, but I hope they pay more attention to cleanliness in the future.

Overall, the flavors are great, especially the krecek, and with some improvements in presentation and hygiene, this place could be...
