CJ Tomyam offers an intriguing culinary experience for those who appreciate bold and intense flavors. The standout dish here is undoubtedly their Tom Yum, which has a sharp level of sourness and a captivating aroma that instantly whets your appetite.
One of the first things you’ll notice about CJ Tomyam is the strong aroma of their dishes. As soon as you step in, the fragrant spices and herbs used in their cooking greet you, hinting at the flavorful journey ahead. The Tom Yum, in particular, fills the air with its rich, aromatic blend of lemongrass, lime leaves, and galangal.
However, despite the olfactory delight, the presentation of the dishes leaves something to be desired. The plating is quite basic, and the visual appeal is minimal. This might be a letdown for some, especially those who enjoy their meals as much for the visual experience as for the taste. But don't let that deter you—what CJ Tomyam lacks in appearance, it more than makes up for in flavor.
The Tom Yum soup is definitely the highlight of the menu. Its perfect balance of sourness and spiciness is truly mouth-watering, and the strong, appetizing aroma adds an extra dimension to the overall experience. Each spoonful brings an explosion of flavors, making it a must-try dish for anyone visiting the restaurant.
In conclusion, if you’re a fan of strong, bold flavors and can overlook the underwhelming presentation, CJ Tomyam has a lot to offer. The Tom Yum soup, with its aromatic and flavorful profile, comes highly recommended. Don’t miss out on...
Read morerestaurant in Lebak Bulus residen. The ambience is spacious, decent and giving kinda old vibes. The service is fast and staffs are courteous.
The star of this restaurant is definitely the food. We ordered Tom Yum Seafood, Kangkung Belacan and Fried Chicken (wanted to order Pandan Leaves Chicken but they ran out of it) and Es Delima as dessert and all of them are delicious!
The Seafood Tom Yum has green mussels, fish, prawns, squid and mushroom and the soup is bursting with flavors. The Fried Chicken is tender inside and crispy on the outside. The Kangkung Belacan is fresh and spicy. The Es Delima is not a big portion but enough. It has this colorful jelly made of rice flour with bengkuang (jicama) inside that gives a crunchy sensory when eating it.
Fair price (but not cheap) - around 75k-180k for single dishes (can be shared for 2 max 3 persons) and up to 255k for a larger set.
Will definitely come again to try...
Read moreThe only Thai food restaurant in southern part of Jakarta (Lebak Bulus, Karang Tengah, Pondok Labu), Cinere. Not so big restaurant, good food. In weekend better to reserve first. Strategic location near Indomaret(?). For dessert, the cassava with coconut milk gravy is recommended. If they have mango sticky rice it would be much.. better :)
2023: after close and re-open the ambience is more classy but modern. Previously good and bit homey / traditional. Now they have mango sticky rice! However if you come at early hour..11 am- 12 noon, big possibility that most of the selection of appetizer, beverages and some main course are not available. Payment can use debit and credit card as well....
