I prefer to call the Shukaku as an all you can cook restaurant. Because of 3 different ways to cook your meal = Grill, Boil, or Deep Fry. It's all up to you how your meals is going to be cooked, have it your way!
There are 5 packages. Ultimate, Premium, Epic, Special, and Standard. One useful tips, be careful for the Standard one, because you can not reorder the meat that has been served on your table. You eat, what the restaurant give to you. But, you can grab all of the side dishes. The basic for "all you can order" is the Special, why? Well, because it is special.
Plenty and generous, 2 simple words that could describe my experience while I ate at this restaurant. All meats is served as you prefer, but I recommend you to choose the epic or special package. Sure you did fill your stomach up only with those packages. Bear in mind, the ice cream is only for 2 most top tier packages.
The side dish? Enormous! Even the vegies is fresh and plenty for your apetite. Ponzu is prefered for the sauces, but open your mind to try the other "challanging taste" sauces, either sauces are delicious. Don't hesitate to try. You would provided to frying ingredients and other things, try it, you wont regret.
Service is excellence, enough said. All the waiters are cooperating each other to serve the foods even they are not your "personal waiter" whom designated to you.
All the pros is 5 out of 5. But, I kinda felt like being "discriminated" (lol), when I ate with Ultimate Packages (because of my curiosity) before, contrary when I visited the restaurant with just Epic Packages. You got "non functional" AC room, and not so comfort table compare to the Premium or Ultimate packages, little bit far from side dish and sauces tables. But, well yeah, there is high price all the way the service you get.
I would give a 4.5 out of 5, but because there is no 4.5, I round it up to 5 stars....
Read moreWe got the epic package for 2 adult and 1 child. Foods were great Service was excellent Unfortunately we got the sofa which were fixed seats, i'm 175 cm and i can't seat comfortably, had to tucked my knees to sit, and feels not quite comfortable, there was other seats arrangement which is a regular chairs so we can adjust how close the seat to the table, Unfortunately that area had Air Con problem so that area was hot. Our sofa, too Unfortunately also did not have comfortable temperature, our seat area also quite hot, so eating meats, while having a grill, boiling soup and boiling oil (for agemono) coupled with weak air con resulting in sweating experience, but the foods and drinks and snacks were great though and service also very friendly and excellent. So please fix the climate (temperature) problems, it would be perfect.
Also one of the toilets currently on service so there's only one, and the toilet could have smells fresher...
Tl;dr Great food, excellent service, but the place temperature...

The food was tasty, with a wide variety of foods and drinks to choose from. Also, the 90 minute mark is not too far off the normally used time to eat and chit-chat a little.
Every table has two choices of broth for shabu-shabu, and you get to choose your favorite ingredients. So is with the agemono and BBQ.
You can always ask for meat refills, because they sometimes forget to refill your meat plate.
Don't forget to also enjoy the breezy lakeside view of lake Summarecon Bekasi from the second floor.
You have choices of tables to eat, and I highly recommend the smaller table, the one which you are facing directly with your family and friends, not the big one, where you sit half-round the table, because you can get easier access to refills in the former, not the latter.
Highly recommend this place if you're in the mood of eating with your family without...
