Wiro Sableng Garden — Restaurant in Jakarta

Wiro Sableng Garden — the OG crab palace, all dressed up

Kelapa Gading’s legendary seafood joint has levelled up. Picture the same explosive flavours that made the original famous, but served in a breezier, more polished space where the air-con actually works and the chairs don’t wobble. It’s still casual, just significantly easier on both the elbows and the date you’re trying to impress.

We kicked off with the secret-handshake order: Kepiting Ala Jokowi. Off-menu it may be, but this peanut-spiked, mildly spicy sauce deserves its own fan club—sweet, nutty, and the kind of messy that leaves you grinning. Riding the crab wave, the Kepiting Telor Asin followed: salted-egg lava clinging lovingly to every crack of shell. Big portions, big flavour, big smiles.

Vegetables held their own. Daun Dewa arrived bright and crunchy, like a palate reset between seafood rounds. Tumis Genjer brought an earthy bite that almost fooled us into thinking we were eating health food.

From the grill and steamer came a trio of highlights: Cumi Telor Bakar—smoky squid cuddling fluffy egg; Udang Special Gandum—prawns in a nutty wheat crumble that begs for repeat orders; and Krapu Steam Hong Kong, impeccably tender with a light soy perfume.

Dessert? A frosty one-two punch of Es Cendol Durian and Es Kacang Merah, washing away the spice and sealing the deal.

Pro tips: • Crabs sell out—call the day before to reserve. • Parking is a street-side lottery; consider ride-hailing unless parallel-parking is your superpower.

Verdict: Wiro Sableng Garden keeps the soul of the original but gives it breathing room and mood lighting. Come hungry, don’t wear white, and let the sauce have its...

Wirosableng Garden honest review: the foods are still great. The taste is still the same as when I tasted it 2 years ago. The ambience is also nice. 2 years ago, as long as I remember, the staff and the queue systems were very great. But now I've got to say something:

1: Once I came, one of the waiters greeted me and asked for how many people to dine in. And after that, he led me to the table, but 1 minute later another waitress came to us with another customer and claimed that the table (which our waiters showed us) was already served for those waitress customers. A little bit confusing. Since we brought an elderly, this is not proper (for me), and we ended up needing to change our table. Not a big mistake or a major incident. A little bit funny, actually. The waiter and the waitress are also confused about which one is correct. Please fix this; sometimes this led us to a bad mood. And also please feel the elderly who need to walk again to change the table.

2: Wastafel very dirty. Water splashes are everywhere, clogged sinks, even there’re used tissue scattered around sinks.

3: Our cutlery comes in without dipping in hot water; some people got the cutlery to come in more hygiene (by dipping in the hot water). I’m sure ours are hygiene too, but it's just weird how one customer to another customer is different. hehe

the food nice the food comes out really fast. cutlery & table are clean pure hand soap 100% (not mixed by water)

Again, for me, this is not a major issue, only an honest review. I know a restaurant like Wiro Sableng Garden can fix this issue easily. Your restaurants are great, and your food is also...

5 star for me means perfect or good for foods and services and places. This restaurant has all the points.

Maybe foods was not perfect but good enough and made me wanted to come back to try their other menu. For 4 of us, we ordered : ikan kue bakar 4/5 (188K) Maybe better tried bawal bintang for the fish as Kue fish meat was thick and texture was too firm. The fish was 0.8kg and it was pretty big, we can’t finish it all. udang saos padang 5/5 (120K) Love it very much for the sauce! Sweet and spicy! The prawn were big. 4 big prawns in a portion. kepiting soka telur asin 4/5 (185K) The soft shell crab was big and less crunchy. The egg was like scrambled omelette rather than salted egg. The portion was big for 4 person. tumis daun dewa 5/5 (30K) toge cah ikan asin 5/5 (30K)

Service was good and fast!

Seating area in first floor was big, comforting and clean, not like their first restaurant which was sooo dirty. They also have elevator to second floor. Good to have meal in group/family as they have...
