Gubug Makan Mang Engking — Restaurant in Gedangan

What an amazing place! I brought whole bunch of my family here. Their settings are very unique and enjoyable. They will seat you in what they call “Gubuk”, in Indonesia it means a hut. That’s what the name of the restaurant represent. Gubug Makan Mang Engking means The Food Huts of Mang Engking (Mang Engking is the name of the owner, mang in west java language means Mr.). Now let’s talk about the settings. All the huts are surrounded by ponds that are very well stocked with fish, as you can see from the picture. You have the options to buy fish foods, just go to the front cashier to get it. At some of the huts, you could see the fishes under the table. You will seat on the rattan floor, in Indonesia this kind of seating called, selesehan. The type of food they offer here is Sundanesse, which is West Java origination. It packs with fresh ingredients. The food is very tasty and the selections is massive. Their Sambals ( spicy condiments ) is great. They serve varieties of sambals. The star here is their selections of fish and other seafood. They can come grilled or fried. For Indonesian, the price is kind of on the high side, but for US standard it’s very cheap, giving all the fun atmosphere surround it. It is located not far from Surabaya’s Juanda airport. A must visit for tourist and travelers. You...

They aren’t really able to cater to western expectations.

It’s a beautiful little spot. Welcome was excellent and we were shown round to a floating hut. Lady there to greet us almost immediately and ordered drinks: which were great. Her English seemed great so we asked her, rather than sitting with us, to come back in 5 minutes. Well over half an hour went by, we asked several passing staff for help but got none. Finally, as we were putting shoes on to leave when a new waitress came along, but her English technique was to say ‘yes’ and ‘ok’ to everything we asked, alternately, so we couldn’t trust getting our needs over. We left. Bumped into our first waitress on way back round lake and she wanted us to go back but was too...

Lokasi ada di Jalan Raya Juanda. Kalo masuk dari pertigaan Aloha sekitar 2 km-an, ada di seberang/kanan jalan, dekat kantor Dinaskresda atau apa gitu lupa.

Parkirannya luas. Bisa nampung banyak mobil.

Masuk lobby sudah langsung ada mbaknya yg melayani, ditanyain untuk brp orang nanti dikasih tau gubuk/saung nomor brp. Tempat makannya (gubuk makan) nyaman, awal datang sudah bersih, ngga ada bekas pliket ataupun debu sama sekali. Credit untuk kebersihannya. Setelah sampai di dalam gubuk makan sudah langsung ada pegawainya yang nyamperin. Menunya banyak dan lumayan lengkap. Harganya yaaa lumayan lah.. Lumayan banget. Tapi sesuai sama ambience dan hiburan yang ada. Makanan datang juga ga terlalu lama. Rasanya lumayan, ga begitu yang wow bgt cuman tetep cenderung enak (4,5/5). Favorit di sini katanya Udang, cuman ga nyobain. Di sepanjang jalan/koridor banyak pegawainya yang siap bantuin. Kalau mau minta nambah sendok, sedotan ataupun nyalain lilin buat ngusir lalat juga bisa. Sayangnya ikan di kolam ga terlalu banyak dan besar-besar. Tapi gatau juga kalau ikannya dikasih makanan biar pada keluar. Soalnya tanya ke pegawainya cari makanan ikan katanya lagi ngga ada/jual makanan ikan.

Selebihnya ada beberapa spot foto atau arena bermain yang bagus buat dikunjungi. Ada taman dengan prosotan dan ayunan. Ada halaman genjot becak. Ada juga penyewaan perahu bebek. Ada sampan buat dinaikin maksimal 3 org. Ada musholla juga. Toilet juga tersedia. Ada terapi ikan juga. Banyak fasilitas dan hiburannya.
