Superfood Bak Kut Teh — Restaurant in Jakarta

Nestled in the Mediterranean Garden 2 Apartment Complex (Tower E), Superfood Bak Kut Teh takes center stage with its focus on this beloved Chinese dish. As a self-proclaimed MSG-free haven, the restaurant aims to deliver an authentic experience with a twist.

The Bak Kut Teh here strikes a delicate balance—the herbal notes are not overpowering, yet the broth remains flavorful. The claim of being MSG-free adds to the appeal for those seeking a healthier option without compromising on taste.

Beyond Bak Kut Teh, the restaurant unveils a treasure trove of Chinese cuisine, offering a diverse menu to cater to various tastes. During my visit, an amiable uncle, likely the owner, greeted patrons with a warm smile and efficiently managed seating arrangements—a personal touch that added to the overall dining experience.

However, it's essential to plan your visit strategically, especially during peak hours. The restaurant's popularity becomes evident as the space, while charming, might reach full capacity during lunch and dinner rushes.

For those craving a delightful journey through Chinese flavors with a focus on Bak Kut Teh, Superfood Bak Kut Teh is a worthwhile stop. The subtle herbal infusion and diverse menu offerings, coupled with the friendly atmosphere, make it a standout choice in the Mediterranean Garden 2...

Really dissappointed for the restaurant services.

They said the restaurant since 1965 in Penang and open now in Jakarta Indonesia.

Without MSIG. So they serve the condiment in the table : chopped green chilies and garlic, also soy sauce to bring out the taste everytime you eat in the restaurant and also for take away

Just recently, I just back to indonesia for abroad trip. So i miss uncle james food (owner of the superfood bahkut teh) and I ordered by whats app 3 menu for dinner at home.

When i open the packaging, not a single chopped chilies/garlic/soy sauce inside. When I chat the admin, they only said, sorry those condiments only for soup.

What an answer. And they said its company rules.

Very disappointed and rude service from the restaurant.

NO MSIG NO CHOPPED CHILLIES, GARLIC AND SOY SAUCE HIGH PRICE

I think the restaurant pay too much to the employees in the small restaurant thus reducing their service

I will not go back to these...

I had the WORST dining experience here at March 16, 2025…

We were on waiting list, and the staff already confirmed our table. Just as the previous diners finished, a newly arrived customer who had NOT been waiting outside suddenly entered. He spoke briefly with the staff and was immediately given our confirmed table… like how can??

When we asked for clarification, the staff claimed that the person had been on the waiting list before us, even tho we had CHECKED and seen that all previous names had been crossed out (like basically we’re at the top of the list). It was clear that his name had been added at the last minute to override our spot..

When we confronted the staff, they made excuses, ignored fairness, and sided with him. even they KICKED us out while he stayed.. The whole experience was left us wondering if we’re treated unfairly based on appearance or background. This wasn’t just bad service, but unjust and felt like CLEAR...
