Kingsman Bistro & Private Room — Restaurant in Jakarta

I went here on a weekend lunch time with a group of people for their Private Room service. We booked 2 days ahead before this event and when we arrived guess what? The room is on maintenance service and we were forced to go into the smaller room without further notice... which is fine but why wouldn't they check it beforehand? We could've just went for the bigger room 🥲, but it's fine. When we ordered, the food came after the drinks were served which is great 👍. But the food itself was pretty horrendous, i really don't know if they had a checker or quality assurance on their team but how could they serve not only 1 but all of our food in such a cold state and none of them even notice it, because the food itself was pretty fast to come out knowingly our group were pretty big (±30min). None of our food was on the warm / hot side, all of them were cold especially the Pasta and Rice menu, here are some of the food that i myself ordered Woku Chicken 🐔: A Manado style grilled chicken on skewers served with Bismati rice and Sambal Matah. Very good presentation and visual wise it's very accurate to the picture, meat tasted very good but damn it's cold not even warm, the rice itself was cold. Pesto Katsu🍝: A Pesto Pasta served with Chicken Katsu. As the main protein of the dish, the katsu itself was fine and crispy but it's not hot, the pesto doesn't taste fresh and just fine with the same temperature which is cold Mushroom Veloutte: A mushroom soup, with croutons or should've been a crouton.. they served a garlic bread on the side that is so tough and sharp to the bite while being cold, the soup itself wasn't great.. it tasted weird but probably because it's cold not warm 🥲 Salmon Mentai Pizza 🍕: A handmade thin pizza topped with Shredded salmon, Mentai and Nori. The concept of it was pretty good, until the first bite made me realize sometimes things should stay as a concept afterall. It's alright not bad but not good, Shredded salmon tasted almost as identical as 🤔 Katsuobushi. Kingsman Fried Rice 🍚: A black fried rice colored using squid ink served with tartar sauce and fried battered fish. The fried rice itself is pretty bland, but somehow not fishy knowing they used Squid Ink which is good, but it's cold 🥶 not really enjoyable, the tartar sauce and fried battered fish were definitely better Overall, the place had the aesthetic for a restaurant that had such a tiny canvas to work with they managed to pull out an impressive show, but not the food quality control, the non alcoholic drinks were pretty fine and basic not that fancy but still better than the food we tried. We tried many things other than the one listed above but most of them just pass by as stomach filler nothing impressive, i would love to give this place a 2nd Visit to re-review it again since it felt like this place could do better 🥲. On the other notes, the Business itself were pretty quiet that day and the only big group on that time were just ours, to had such a horrible first impression for most of us is pretty bad, none of our group complain about the food being cold because we were just starving to begin with and anything just goes by even if it is bad. But do i think it's justified to serve food without anybody checking the food quality that came out to be served? No... Hopefully Kingsman can do better, with such price others can do...

The place located around Pantjoran PIK area and open until late at night so a great place to hang around with ur friends.

The food taste good, the plating is pretty and the price actually affordable. My fav is the black chicken but honestly I forget the menu name🫣 like chicken karaage something, ask the staff for the recommendation.

They also have live music and offer sisha. My bf and I tried it and just nice to chill around.

The staff are friendly…but too friendly they keep asking questions like I want to eat in peace🥲 #introvertproblems

BUT ANYWAY THEY GIVE ME FREE COCKTAILS HOHO

Must visit if you are near the area and want to hang around...

Good place for karaoke in the Chinatown PIK area. We are using the private room for a minimum charge (which I say is quite affordable), and we can use the room for quite some time (6H+). The corkage fee was also quite affordable and they also provide bottle storage services.

They also have wine and cocktail promos. For food we tried some like Salmon Mentai pizza and Balinese Crispy Duck. Both were good, the half duck was juicy, and they give a huge portion. Some improvements that I would suggest to improve services: updated karaoke songs list, better lighting, servers'...
