Wong Fu Kie Pantjoran PIK Hakka Authentic Chinese Food Restaurant — Restaurant in Jakarta

The popular authentic Hakka restaurant with it's a popular restaurant in Pancoran Glodok. As someone who loves to eat at the original Wong Fu Kie restaurant in Pancoran, I must say it's quite surprising to find Wong Fu Kie here with a bigger and more grand restaurant in PIK. It makes enjoying their authentic Hakka food to be more comfortable compare with their Pancoran restaurant.

Food 🥘: as usual, I like to order Wongsan cah fumak (eel cooked with fumak leaf) and sweet-sour gurame fish. This dish was recommended by the owner himself when I came to their restaurant a few years ago, and I always ordered these dishes since then. I usually order their pork with salted vegetables too. But this time, I ordered bistik Ayam (fried chicken steak).

I recommend everyone to order wongsan cah fumak and sweet-sour gurame fish. The wongsan cah fumak here is so delicious with the crunchy eel perfectly cooked with the fumak leaf. However, the wongsan cah fumak here was a bit salty and the eel was not as crunchy as in their original restaurant at Pancoran. What I like the most is the sweet-sour gurame fish. It was perfectly fried and doesn't look too oily. The sweet-sour sauce was very delicious with the right amount of sweetness and sourness.

Service 👨‍🍳: the service was great with the friendly waitress who would give recommendations on the portion size. They are very friendly when serving food and they inform me when the food would take time to get ready.

Price 💵: the price is a bit pricey, but the food, services, and comfortable place make it worth the money. The good thing here is they have three options of size when serving with different prices too.

Place 🏡: the place is very comfortable with beautiful traditional Chinese house designs and beautiful photos on their wall. The room is spacious, making it more comfortable to move and giving more space for every table. The restaurant is very clean and has bright lighting.

Overall, I recommend everyone to try this authentic Hakka restaurant in a more comfortable place. Just like in the original restaurant where the owner could give you recommendations on their favourite food and the portion size based on the number of people, the waiters here would do the...

Today at dinner time i decided to try the famous Wang Fu Kie to decide whether it is as what everyone is raving about.

The ambience is good for me, for dinner time because its an open air concept with air conditioning. And tonight it is quite windy. Maybe will be a bit HOT in the afternoon though.

The decoration of the restaurant is chinese style so it gives old chinatown vibes. It was nice for me

The food is however preety dissapointing for me unfortunately. I order 5 dishes and all 5 are house recomendation.

Burung Darah goreng. It was okay for me not to dry just right. However i think they can make the color of the dish better. It was a bit pale the color of the pigeon. ⭐⭐

Wongsang Fumak Sorry but this is a FAIL for me. The eel is not crispy at all and the vege is not fresh green rather than very pale looking fu mak.⭐⭐

Bakso Fiyen Very common pork meatball nothing special ⭐

Mun Kiau Mien A very common noodle dish, nothing special. The taste is bland too ⭐

Gurame tahu tausi I have tested better in other restaurant. Taste is normal, nothing too special about it. The fried fish is not crispy. Competitor restaurant cook it better. ⭐⭐

The service of server is standard. No complaints here.

However i wish to give suggestion to the restaurant owner to put the kitchen paper towel instead of toilet tissue roll for us to wipe our wet hands. Toilet tissue roll sticks all over my wet hands.

I live in Sunter so i happen to be around the area today so i decided to try this over-rated restaurant.

Would i recommemd this restaurant? 👎 Sorry i definetely will not come back to eat here. As there are better restaurant in Sunter area that serve better hakka dishes.

The above reviews are based on my personal preference. No negativity intended. Thank you kindly for the...

Been wanting to try this place since the original place went viral after being reviewed by a few food vlogger/critics. Finally had the chance to try it's newly-ish branch in Pantjoran, Golf Island. We were really excited to try the supposedly most authentic Hakka restaurant in Jakarta. Unfortunately the hype didn't last long after the food started coming out. Here are our verdict on the few dishes we ordered: Mun kiaw mian : it is rich and has a depth, overall an umami bomb. Wongsan cah fumak : Taste wise was good but the fumak was really tough. Baso fiyen : the meatballs were soft, it was okay.. Bistik babi : the meat was tough and the seasoning was overly salty. Kangkung hotplate : it was steaming hot and the seasoning was well balanced. Ayam rebus : another enjoyable dish, the chicken was well seasoned. Yamha (udang rebus) : not much flavour and some of the prawns didn't feel fresh enough. Babi Hong yamchoi : the one dish that is supposedly the quintessential of Hakka dish and very poorly executed by WFK, terribly disappointed. The meat was still quite tough and the seasoning is too sweet to my liking. Caw yaw gua: it was the pig innarda stir fried with veggies, usually the innards should be crnchy/chewy (in a good way) but the one I had today was really tough. Bistik sapi : the meat was also quite tough. I just don't feel like this branch live up to WFK reputation and to my expectation. I hope the owner pay more attention to the quality control so that every dish can be consistently good. I am all for preserving authentic food that has been passed down for generations. So I hope this branch can improve and maintain the highest quality to keep its...
