あすとら酒場 このは Konoha — Restaurant in Jakarta

Maybe I can say, I’m a regular patron of this restaurant. I love to eat here for lunch. Their “Eraberu Wazen” (“Choose Your Japanese Meal”) sets are what me return here! There are two types of Eraberu Wazen for the same price (IDR 118k before taxes or IDR 135.7k after taxes at the time of this review was made): 1) Pick one bowl of rice or salad and pick three dishes, or 2) Pick one rice meal and one noodles meal. For each of those two, I can tell you that their portion is big. Normally, I ordered any ramen + salmon chirashi or a bowl of rice + salmon sashimi + salmon shioyaki + saba shioyaki (saba is mackerel, shioyaki means salt-grilled or grilled with only salt for seasoning). Occasionally, I ordered saba shio onigiri (rice ball with salt-grilled mackerel) or sishamo tempura (smelt with roe deep fried in batter) or negitoro maki (fatty tuna belly sushi roll) for a la carte side dish. If you ordered above IDR 70k, you’ll get a free green tea (you can have it cold or hot) and free dessert of the day that is normally served in a small shot glass (typically coffee jelly in milk or milk pudding and chunk of pineapple). This restaurant is always full during the height of the lunchtime (the restaurant first opening hour is 11:15 to 14:00 on weekdays, the lunchtime rush is typically 11:30 to 13:00), and quiet during the second opening hour (17:30 to 22:00...

Recently, I had the pleasure of dining at Konoha, a restaurant whose name intriguingly echoes the famous village from the Naruto series. This connection added a whimsical touch to our lunch meeting with colleagues from Astra. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a bustling scene, indicative of the place’s popularity and lively spirit.

The menu at Konoha was pleasantly affordable, offering a variety of dishes in hearty portions. I opted for the Ramen Aka Tantanmen and Gyoza. The ramen provided a comforting experience, though it didn’t particularly distinguish itself in the expansive realm of ramen variations. The Gyoza, however, was a delightful addition, with its well-executed flavors and textures.

Although the culinary offerings at Konoha weren’t exceptionally groundbreaking, they were satisfying and well-valued. The restaurant’s energetic ambiance, combined with the company of friends, elevated our dining experience. Konoha is certainly a spot worth considering for a casual, group-friendly meal, especially for those who appreciate a nod to pop culture...

Not but first time being here and will do come again because this one is so authentic. For this time I came around 6:30 p.m. and the place was not crowded at all. I ordered 3 dishes: Salmon Maki (4.5/5) I loved by how it served freshly. The salmon was so so good, fresh and tender. Tempura Roll (4/5) Kinda small in terms of portion, but the tempura was so crispy and yummy. Love the prawn that was taste so fresh and no fishy taste at all. Kakutaki (100/5) THE BEST OF ALL! I ordered this for may time for sure as this was so good. The octopus was so generous, you can really taste it in every bites. The portion was generous as well, can be shared for 2 people. They also served you free dessert of milk pudding and trust me this one was so good as well.

They also serve lunch set that can be ordered for dinner, I also recommend this one for big portion but with good...
