Hanam BBQ @ Senopati — Restaurant in Jakarta

My friend went there around 4.30pm, originally got a table for 4 people. There was no line at that time yet. 3 of us got there first but realized the table is super small and cramped even when it's only the 3 of us. We were given a table near the kitchen and the prepping(?) table where the waiters and waitresses would get the orders, utensils, bowls, plates, etc. They have storage under the chair for your belongings but to be honest it didn't help much because of the amount of food and not our belongings. Halfway eating, we wanted to move because more of our friends are joining and because it was super hot, we were sweating while eating, but the restaurant was already fully booked. They did allow us to have another 4 people table behind us but it's awkward for the 2 others that come later to just eat by themselves. We decided to wait but even when there are tables that are available, they just wouldn't give them to us. We were there until around 9.30pm and they never once bothered to move us (a total of 6) from that 4-seater.

I would have given them a higher review if the food was good but it was meh. First, they did not have a lot of banchan. Second, all the food was bland even with sesame oil and salt that we asked from the waiter. The concept is pretty unique though. All the food was only cooked 30% at the kitchen and brought to our table. We ordered 1 beef dish and 5 pork dishes (if I'm not wrong, I didn't order the food). The waiter will cook for us and they will do a good job too at cooking. I, however, like the food to be cooked at the kitchen because of the smell, the oil splatter (which I did get at least 5 times during this dinner), and the scorching hot temperature because the AC was not cold enough. When we asked, sadly they said the kitchen does not have a griller.

There is a calico cat that hangs around the area in front of the restaurant. She was sleeping not having a care when people are lining up. She was so cute, that made my dining experience a bit better. The bill came up to around 3.7 million. Pretty okay for Senopati, not really for that...

Hanam BBQ in Senopati is one of the best spots for Korean BBQ pork in Jakarta. Everything about it feels just right. The meats are high quality, the flavors are deep, and the whole meal is satisfying from start to finish. It’s the kind of place where you leave feeling full, happy, and already planning your next visit.

The pork belly is incredible. Thick, juicy, and grilled to perfection, with just the right balance of fat and meat. The japchae is also solid. It was chewy and coated in a slightly sweet, savory sauce with tender beef and crisp vegetables. The cold noodles are bery nice and cold and refreshing, tangy, and slightly spicy, a perfect contrast to the rich, smoky meats. Then there’s the grilled white kimchi, which is a game-changer. The fermentation brings out this mellow, tangy depth, and the grilling adds a charred smokiness that pairs beautifully with the pork.

The dipping sauces are bold and packed with umami. Each one adds a different layer to the meat, whether it’s salty, garlicky, or a little spicy. The variety of banchan keeps things interesting, giving balance to the heavier flavors. The portions are also quite generous, and since pork is generally cheaper than beef, the prices are pretty reasonable for the quality you get.

It’s the kind of meal that feels complete. No weak links, no forgettable bites. Every dish has something to love, and everything works together. They do pork right, and for anyone who loves Korean barbecue, this place could be an...

Came here during weekdays around 2 PM, queuing for about 15 minutes not because no tables but because they lack people due to the hype (luckily, since after that day the queue is 2 hours long). I don't even know this resto is featured in QOT.

Interior are like korean bbq simple restaurant Gotta say Should have probably pick the package option, since has more side dishes.

The only sides they give is bunch of fermented veggies including super salty kimchi which is the reason why you have to grill the kimchi to get the better taste of it.

Meat is delicious, tried the samgyeopsal ( around 120k ish) and pork cheek (around 100k ish) , both meat is thickkk which I like, and juicy. The waiters will grilled it for you (despite lacking manpower, which resulted in after grilling session you will be left alone no contact even if you call)

Sundubu jiggae is also delicious, thick broth, rich of flavours, generous fillings.

They dont serve corn tea, just plain water. And they only have purple rice I think

Overall I like the meat here, it's just.... should have ordered package with many sides , I guess with that price came a let down. But it's not cheap as well , just affordable. Oh, and the...
