Fūjin Izakaya — Restaurant in Jakarta

The place was not that spacious, but it has this interesting open kitchen comcepts where you could see the chefs cook in the middle.

Ordered a lot of foods with friends. Amazingly all the foods were delicious. The most meh, still on the delicious spectrum though, was the ramen.

Must try menus are chicken nanban (chicken only and they also have this sandwich version), and also their pizza. The chicken nanban was simply divine. The meat is tender, it has this sweet and rather sour (making it has this refreshing taste) cream on top. The pizza itself is rather unique. Instead made of the usual bread-from-baked-dough it was made from thinly sliced potatoes. The sauce, the meat, and the cheese go not-surprisingly well. Maybe it leans more on the sweet side though.

The matcha ice cream and the matcha-stick-with-milk served as the dessert. Actually I forgot whether it was matcha or hojicha, but it definitely has this correct taste of bitterness with a...

I recently visited Fujin Izakaya and was blown away by the exceptional service and delicious food. Hans, our server, provided top-notch assistance, making us feel welcome and well taken care of throughout the evening.

The standout dish was the Chicken Nanban—an absolute delight. The chicken was perfectly cooked, with a crispy exterior and tender interior. The tangy nanban sauce added a delightful burst of flavor, making it an unforgettable culinary experience.

The restaurant's inviting ambiance and attention to detail created a cozy atmosphere, perfect for a memorable dining outing. With an extensive menu offering traditional and innovative Japanese dishes, Fujin Izakaya caters to all tastes.

I highly recommend Fujin Izakaya to anyone seeking an exceptional Japanese dining experience. From the impeccable service to the mouthwatering dishes, it's a place that will leave a lasting impression. Don't miss out on the Chicken...

I found this place when I went thru across Gunawarman Road late at night, so I was thinking, "What an izakaya - they were open until before midnight."

Later I planned with friends to dine here, and it was an exquisite experience for all of us. In terms of ambience and atmosphere, while the photos taken in other reviews are good, nothing beats entering the door for the first time. It's as if we enter an actual old-style Izakaya in Japan, but with much elegance and class.

In regard to service, the people here are helpful and responsive, I don't regret spending time here.

While we tasted the food, we found that the food quality has much higher quality compared to other Japanese restaurants. We are fond of its wasabi and red gingers, really! Hence, it is recommended to share the food together so all of you can taste the exquisite flavor together at once.

Overall, I don't regret spending time and money here. Look forward to...
