Depot Anda fit — Restaurant in Surabaya

Old, but the food is still good.

Like an old family restaurant, there is no passionate service, they are pretty passively waiting to be called, and simply dropping all the food on the table and let you figure out what you order yourselves.

It is not too hot at night thankfully and the food is as good as it has been. But the portion is too small for me, it may be right for females or the locals, for me, it is so small.

The price is ok, the place is ok, the service is ok. The only thing to save this place is probably the food is still tasty and the location is in the middle of the city.

My first time here, not too much impressed yet not too bad. It is more than acceptable, but not at the level of excellence yet.

The place seems quiet, and is the first branch outside its origin in Mojokerto, but it is still alive after decades as I was told, it must have something good.

The view is nice right across the street as the city government is revamping the sidewalk and modernizing the city view. The park across the street is really nice with different colors of lightings. Sometimes it has bands performing and can be noisy for people. Indonesians like loud music, but I’d like to protect my hearing and try to avoid loud sound and try to maintain conversation.

Being a vintage style restaurant plus located in a very strategic yet historic location (located near the Balai Kota/City Hall and the Tunjungan Street) this place also offers some nostalgic vibes, especially for those who are enjoying the rich history of Surabaya. This restaurant also serves a number of traditional drinks, such as es campur, es dawet, es kacang ijo, es soda gembira among others. In another hand, they also sell snacks, such as cassava chips, banana chips, various kerupuk crackers, gabin (biscuit crackers), and so much more. The only thing that needs a lot of improvements is the facilities and cleanliness, as well as repelling various disturbing insects, such as mosquitoes, housefly, cockroaches, ants, and...

The restaurant location is very strategic. However, during the lunch time of our visit, there are many dish not available. I did not post pictures because the food was rather disappointing. We ordered Garang Asem, it turn out to be chicken, BIG chicken like old chicken and VERY oily. It almost like eating oil soup. The Rawon was ok. The Gurame Penyet was ok. What's not ok: one of the waitress is a teenager. I did not know how Surabaya's famous restaurant still able to hire under-age worker while this restaurant located very close to Balai Kota (City...
