HokBen PIM 1 — Restaurant in Jakarta

The food was amazing but the service was not, what do you mean a kid has to give up their seat for an adult that isnt even senior or 50+ in years. We we're just going to sit down after grabbing a chopsticks and we found out that a servant has given up our seat to a single lady with no sickness, or disability. We didnt even finish our food yet and yet theres some stranger siting in our sit with our food. And the worker argued that the place was full and it was our mistake for standing up. Eventually me and my friend, (12 years old and 13 years old) HAS TO GIVE UP OUR SEAT FOR A SINGLE LADY...

Let me emphasize first. The review was solely on their fried chicken. The restaurant atmosphere was always nice. The menu selections were delicious.

Except for the fried chicken, which was horrible. The batter was too thick with no sign of crispiness and the result was spices didn’t seep into the meat. Moreover, the meat was still soggy. It’s just tasteless.

Hokben fried chicken needs serious improvement if they want to compete with other established fried chickens.

Next time, I should stick with my ultimate classic...

Tried their ramen for the first time. We ordered tori paitan and hokkaido miso which actually was good for 40ish rupiah ramen. The broth is kinda creamy, the noodle is not tasteless, and I like the slice of chicken. Overall I prefer hokkaido miso to tori...
