Warung Jepang Abusan - Setiabudi — Restaurant in Jakarta

"Its good enough" is how I could describe it bout my experience when I was eating at the restaurant.

Food: Chicken Wafuyaki: 5/10 The chicken is burned, but there's no flavor in it just a bit of salty from the thick batter, but the veg is helping with the smoky salty umami.

Chicken Katsu: 8/10 Nothing Special, I thought it would be very thick meat but I was wrong, 50% is only thick batter. It's just basic katsu u can get anywhere without any remarkable flavor. The salad was helping tho fresh.

Rice: 6/10 way too small and just basic indo rice but they were adding some furikake

Ambiance: 6/10 way too cramped and also hot, adding some fan would help. Muddy and also many litters on the floor.

Service: 7/10 Fast, rude,(especially women who wear glasses), also not give us a bill receipt. So we don't know how exactly the price was and what order that missed.

Is it worth it? Sacrificing for a little bit of money to get a bad service is ur preference then go to this place. Would stick my...

BIG portion, quick service and decent taste. Went here on weekdays evening (around 7-8pm) and the tables are fully occupied. Ordered chicken katsu, beef teriyaki and chicken skin. The sweet sauce on the katsu was very tangy and salty which I think was very suited to be eaten with rice and for Indonesian tongue who mostly loved salty dishes. The atmosphere are one of street food scene where you can expect singers, motorcycle and car sound to be your accompaniment. Even tho this place is in Setiabudi area in front of Grha Family Mart, it was quite close to local resident area and if you're lucky enough maybe you'll encounter local experience during your dinning like this video (takbiran). 5 star for the quick service tho, if you come hungry and don't have to wait long for the empty table to be seated,...

I ordered chicken katsu and sweet iced tea. I think the katsu was decent and properly cooked, but to be honest, I do not think the brown sauce suits the dish well. At the beginning, it was fine. However, after taking some pieces, the brown sauce ruined the chicken and did not taste right. Perhaps the management should consider to remove the sauce and maintain only the chicken and the salad per serve. Portion-wise, it was large and so worth the price. Regarding the cleanliness, the staff should be more aware of it. Nevertheless, the service was a lightning fast. It only took a few minutes from the ordering process to having my food on my table. Good luck and...
