Jj Ramen — Restaurant in Jakarta

Honestly I have high expectations for this ramen store, since it was recommended by one of the top culinary Youtubers of Indonesia. All in all I was quite disappointed, but maybe it's because of my personal preferences as well. Let me explain in details.

I ordered JJ ramen and my husband ordered Curry ramen. I personally prefer ramen with pork, but this one is halal. For this particular reason, I'm still okay. I do eat ramen with chicken. But turns out, it's using beef instead; my least favorite meat. To put the cherry on top, the texture of the meat is simply straight up chewy, and flavorless, so that really puts me down on the whole bowl. Noodles are a little soggy. The soup on my ramen is acceptable, but the curry is just... The only thing that is delicious in that bowl is the half-boiled egg because it is the most normal one out of all. Needless to say me and my husband can't finish it.

Store decoration is okay. Smoking is allowed. Drink only came after we are half through our bowl of ramen. The worst part of the experience would be finding a place to park, because we know that this is a very isolated store but we have absolutely no idea that it is literally located in an alley that only fits one motorcycle (with absolutely no chance to turn your bike around), and the parking area is outside of the alley itself.

Overall, I did not enjoy my culinary adventure here and I wouldn't recommend my friends to try this. But then again, it all comes down to personal preference! I heard some people really like it because of its "hidden gem" aspects.

TLDR: I...

an authentic ramen southbound of the city. we have to walked through small alley to find this ramen monger which is make it worth to find, that's the plus value of the place. the ramen is so yummy, the broth is thick and well prepared seasoned. they made they own ramen as the chef is very skillful since he was worked at japanese and norway ships for over than 30 years as cook staffs. the place is not too large, moderately clean, no parking lot as I mentioned that this place is in the small alley. friendly staffs, serving time under 30 minutes since you placed your order. definitely will come again to enjoy their...

Great foods with affordable price. But the interior needs an upgrade. The inner AC room is a little bit congested and humid, maybe the owner can lower the temp. The outer smoking room is dusty but granted there is a construction on the 2nd floor. However the owner should be more proactive rather than let the customer (us) cleans for themselves. Despite that, the food is amazing. My couple try the Hot Spicy Ramen and the name stands for itself. I try their signature of JJ ramen, and it was scrumptious....
