Yima Yila — Restaurant in Jakarta

Yima Yila is a recommended Chinese food restaurant that provides both stir fried and soup dish with or without mala (the spicy and numbing seasoning). The restaurant consists of two floors that can provide dining in. The space is not that big, so most of the time, especially during lunch and dinner time, this restaurant will be crowded. The first time I was here for a lunch on Saturday. The first floor was already full, but they did not allow us, including the waiting list customers to dine in on the second floor because it was for the employees taking a break. This was quite disappointing. It will be much better to open the second floor, especially during the peak hours, right?

Well, let's not talk to much about it. Luckily, the food here makes me satisfied with the good taste. They provide variant of vegetables, some parts of the meat (beef, chicken, seafood, pork), mushroom, meatball, fishcake, crabstick, bean curd, noodles (egg noodle, potato noodle, yam noodle, shirataki, including rice that we could choose and custom as we like. The minimum order is 400 gram in weight with the price IDR 25,000 / gram. This food is suitable for sharing. After we choose the toppings, they will weigh it, then we pay based on the weight. We could choose the serving either in stir fried or soup style. The available spicy levels are Bumbu Wangi (fragrant and not spicy at all. This one is more savoury), Pedas Ringan (xiao ma / mild spicy), Pedas Garuk (zhong ma / middle spicy), and Pedas Setan (chao ma / very spicy).

I love the stir fried serving. The toppings that we have chosen will be served on a big and wide bowl with peanuts, grilled garlic, white sesame.

They maintain the health protocols as we can see that the employees are wearing both of the face mask and face shield, they provide hot water on each table, so that we could put the eating utensils for a few minutes before using it to...

Yima Yila in Kelapa Gading offers a satisfying dining experience with their mala dishes available either with or without broth. Having tried both options, I prefer the non-broth version for its superior flavor. The dishes with broth are quite average and tend to be below standard.

The pricing is based on weight, with a minimum of 300 grams costing 28,000 IDR. You have the freedom to choose whatever you like from the showcase, whether it's all meat, all vegetables, or a mix of both.

The condiment selection is fairly comprehensive, featuring fish, beef, and pork. The variety of shabu-shabu condiments and delicious satay with coriander and mala seasoning are a treat. You must also try the lapciong sausages mixed with pork and ham for an extra flavor burst.

Be cautious with the highest spice level as it is extremely spicy, due to the use of a lot of bird’s eye chilies rather than purely mala spiciness. Therefore, I recommend choosing level 3 for a balanced heat that is more enjoyable.

Overall, Yima Yila is a great spot for those who love mala cuisine and a variety of...

这是我在印尼最差劲的一次用餐体验，首先这家餐厅的味道就非常的差，如果不是特别能吃辣的人，即便你点了微辣的也会感到特别辣，这家店对于辣度的把控就非常不合理。其次就是上菜的速度非常的慢，我等了接近40分钟，我不知道后厨在忙什么？我刚坐下服务员给我拿了一杯冰块让我接饮料，我一直没有倒饮料因为我想等我吃上了再喝，结果就是直到一半的冰块都化成水了才给我上菜，还有最重要的就是菜品居然缺斤少两到令人发指，我建议所有来这里吃的人盛完菜都拍个照片记下来自己都盛了哪些菜，这样你发现少了东西的话可以拿出照片和他们对峙，我在中国都从来没遇到过这样缺斤少两的店，所以根本没想到后厨会偷偷拿掉一部分菜，或许厨师自己在偷吃，也或许他们拿掉这些菜再重新装回了前台的盘子里，无论如何这都是让人不可接受的事情。最后就是价格，我们两个人点了接近300人民币的菜，结果才勉强能吃饱，作为一家开在印尼的中国餐厅我相信大家知道他们到底有多赚钱，我本来对价格是无所谓的，但是中国有句古话叫一分钱一分货，我给足这份钱，我就希望你能够让我觉得我这个钱花的值，而不是拿着比国内高两三倍的毛利还要做这种缺斤少两的勾当，我不知道这是老板本人的指示还是后厨个人的行为，我只能说你们这样的饭店绝对开不长久，希望你们好自为之。

Ini adalah pengalaman makan terburuk saya di Indonesia. Pertama-tama, rasa restoran ini sangat buruk. Jika Anda bukan penggemar pedas yang besar, bahkan jika Anda memesan level pedas rendah, Anda akan merasakan pedasnya yang luar biasa. Pengendalian kepedasan di restoran ini sangat tidak masuk akal. Kedua, pelayanan sangat lambat. Saya menunggu hampir 40 menit, saya tidak tahu apa yang sedang sibuk di dapur. Ketika saya duduk, pelayan memberi saya segelas es untuk minum, tetapi saya belum menuangkan minuman karena saya ingin menunggu makanan datang terlebih dahulu. Hasilnya, makanan baru datang ketika setengah dari es sudah meleleh menjadi air. Yang paling penting, hidangan ternyata kurang dari yang seharusnya. Saya menyarankan agar semua orang yang makan di sini mengambil foto hidangan mereka sebelum dimulai, sehingga jika ada yang hilang, Anda dapat menunjukkan foto itu kepada mereka. Saya belum pernah mengalami masalah kekurangan makanan seperti ini di restoran China di China. Jadi saya tidak pernah membayangkan bahwa dapur akan mengambil sebagian hidangan secara diam-diam. Terakhir adalah harga. Kami memesan hampir 300 RMB untuk dua orang, tetapi hanya cukup untuk membuat kami kenyang. Sebagai restoran China di Indonesia, saya yakin semua orang tahu seberapa banyak mereka menghasilkan uang. Awalnya saya tidak peduli dengan harga, tetapi ada pepatah Tiongkok yang mengatakan "you get what you pay for". Saya memberikan uang sebanyak itu, saya berharap mendapatkan nilai dari uang saya, bukan hanya untuk mendapatkan keuntungan lebih dari dua atau tiga kali lipat dibandingkan dengan di China dan kemudian melakukan hal-hal seperti ini. Saya tidak tahu apakah ini instruksi dari pemilik restoran atau tindakan individu dari dapur, tetapi saya hanya bisa mengatakan bahwa restoran seperti ini tidak akan bertahan lama. Semoga Anda...
