Although the name of the restaurant is Super Suikiaw, they serve Chinese food as well and their menu is extensive. First, finding a parking spot at night can be difficult. I'd suggest you park in front of Lawson just a few meters ahead. Second, if you're a non smoker, you can ask to be seated at the second floor since the first floor are reserved for people who smoke. Suikiaw or Jiao Zi in Mandarin is a dumpling. It's similiar to Gyoza. You can choose your Suikiaw to be boiled (Shui Jiao) or fried (Guo Tie). One portion of their Suikiaw is 10 pieces and they offer a lot of variety for the fillings. Customers can choose between meat fillings such as pork, seafood, fish, squid, crab or vegetable fillings such as lotus, Chinese cabbage, pocai, string bean, etc. My personal favorite is the 'Suikiaw Tiga Rasa' or the Three Flavor Dumplin which consists of pork, shrimp, and chives. You can have half of a portion to be boiled and half to be fried. Their Suikiaw is so good, I see Japanese people eating here every time I visit the restaurant. Bear in mind, unlike Blok M that has Little Tokyo, the area around Super Suikiaw is not known for Japanese people to visit regulary. I'd say a lot of Japanese enjoy eating Suikiaw with beer which is served cold and sold for extremely cheap. There aren't many other combination that's as good as beer and Suikiaw. Most of the time, I have other dishes from their Chinese food menu as well and every dish that I've tried so far is delicious. You have to try their fried rice Yang Chow and pork dishes. I've tried a lot of their pork dishes and all of them are delicious. If you can't eat spicy food, you can ask which pork dish...
Read moreLocated on one of the busiest street in West Jakarta, this Chinese food restaurant is very popular with the Japanese. Featuring Suikiaw (a.k.a. Gyoza in Japanese) 🥟 as their main menu, they also serve wide range of Chinese cuisine. The 1st floor is a smoking area, non-smoking area is located at the 2nd floor. The building is quite old & not well cleaned as I saw some bugs crawling on the wall.
The Suikiaw here is quite big in size with thick chewy outer & filled with big chunk of whatever filling we pick. We tried the boiled pork mushroom suikiaw & found that the filling was quite dry, there should be more juice in it. Taste wise it’s actually fine although this is not our kind of Suikiaw (I prefer suikiaw with thinner skin).
Other menus that we tried were good though they’re dominated by sweet taste such as Sautéed Cabbage & Hui Guo Rou (sauteed pork belly with spices). We’re more into spicy Chinese food so this one is quite unexpected. The winner was the Sautéed Tomatoes & Egg which came in quite a big portion (serves 3-4 people), the taste is very homey & refreshing.
Overall the price is quite affordable & the service is also quick despite the restaurant being packed. Finding a parking spot here could be tedious as you can only park on the...
Read moreAn authentic chinese restaurant. Located in Mangga Besar area.
Place are old comfy home that provides comfortable sittings and nothing more. Sometimes there might be flies flying around, do ask for a candle.
The menus has chinese and indonesia writting. Many foreigners came here.
Their specialty is the suikiaw, others worth to try is their xialongbao. I didn't quiet get the name of the dishes that I've tried, But I do like most of the dishes here, except the jajangmyeon which is very liquid, noodles are kinda hard, and taste kinda bland. Love the seaweed egg clear soup(IDR 80k something) , warm taste of the soup savory. The mushroom pork dish is also delicious. When I get there, not sure why but the suikiaw kinda taste fishy, like it's gone bad...that's why I rather had the xialongbao.
Portion of the food here can be share up to 3, do be careful ordering too much though. And honestly the price isn't that affordable, in fact probably higher end since most of the dishes that has meat or seafood here starts from IDR 100K, except the suikiaw ofc. I can't remember most of the name of the dishes only remember what it contains, the jamur kuping dish...
