Lomie TUA THAO — Restaurant in Jakarta

If I review this years back, totally 5 stars. Now 4 stars because of the price.

The place was your average messy old chinese restaurant with small parking lot, and on a bit of dirty side. Totally, good indicator for good food.

The Lo Mie was superb, best one hands down. The noodle texture, the thick soup, cooked along with big amount of lean fish meat and pork.

The fried meatballs was also very good accompaniment with Lo Mie, try ask them to cut it into halves or quarter and reheat it. Crispy and tasty. The chilli tastes refreshing.

The Bistik was old school with sides of fried potato chunks.

The only problem I had was the price. The Lo Mie price indeed would feed two peoples, but the price went up so quickly, it was 65k IDR at first, now it is at 100k. The fried meat balls was indeed good, but pricey considering it is above 10k each.

Overall, would come back for the Lo Mie to eat for two or...

All taste great and yummy, this time the best one is the...

To be honest, the food is not bad. But after the bad service, I wouldn't come back to this restaurant again. Imagine, my mom was asking whether a certain ingredient can be opted out of her meal due to her restricted diet, and the waitress directly slam a paper in front of her and asked to just write it down in an annoyed tone. Such a pity for a good...
