Waroeng Bumbu — Restaurant in Borneo

I’ve had my eye on this restaurant since last Friday, and I’ve been wanting to try it ever since. Unfortunately, when I first attempted to dine in, the place was completely full and there were no seats available—which, in a way, was a good sign that the food must be worth the wait.

Fast forward to yesterday, I finally managed to get a seat and try the food for myself. And honestly, it didn’t disappoint at all. I enjoyed the experience so much that I decided to come back again today—and it was just as good the second time around!

From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by friendly, welcoming staff who made me feel comfortable right away. Their service was consistent on both visits.Attentive, polite, and always with a smile. It really added to the overall vibe and made the dining experience feel warm and pleasant.

As for the food, I found the portion sizes to be just right. They were generous enough to be satisfying, but not overwhelming. Everything I ordered was flavorful, well-prepared, and served fresh. You can tell the kitchen puts effort into the details, and it really shows in both the taste and presentation.

The atmosphere of the restaurant itself is also worth mentioning. Clean, cozy, and nicely decorated. Whether you’re dining alone, with friends, or family, it’s a space that feels comfortable and inviting.

All in all, I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a satisfying Indonesian meal with great service. It’s not often I go back to a place two days in a row, but this spot earned it. I’ll definitely be coming back again! And thanks for offering me a...

Atmosphere: Cozy and suitable for dining with family members or friends.

Food: Ordered fried rice — the taste was somewhat less satisfying. The chicken was not cooked properly, although the portion size was quite okay. As for the crackers served alongside, some parts were crispy, while others were hard and unpleasant to eat.

Drinks: I just ordered a soft drink, and it tasted exactly as expected. 5/5 for this.

Service: The staff were friendly and polite. However, the service was rather slow despite only 20% of the restaurant being occupied. It took around 30 minutes to receive a single meal. On a positive note, they used a QR Code system for ordering, but unfortunately, most of the menu items were already sold out by 7 PM, leaving very few options for dinner.

Price: In my opinion, the pricing was not justified by the quality of the food.

Conclusion: Overall, it was a first and last visit for me. The experience was not exciting and unsatisfactory in terms of the food's taste. Personally, I believe the food would have been better if it had been cooked by people of origin or prepared using the authentic traditional recipes from...

Staff were very friendly and welcoming — really appreciate the good service. That’s the main reason I’m giving two stars.

But sadly, the food and drinks didn’t live up to the hype. The rice was undercooked, Gajeboh beef portion was small and thin, and it was more sour than spicy (even though the menu said spicy).

I had to stop eating after less than 10 bites and just tapau the rest — quite pricey as the experience and the portion just wasn’t it.

My milk coffee was too sweet, while my friend’s drink had zero sweetness — very inconsistent.

I also asked if the fritters were still hot and crispy; the waitress said it was fresh from the kitchen, but it came out cold and kenyal, not quite crispy anymore.

We came with high hopes since this place was trending on TikTok — everyone was praising it. Maybe we came on a bad day, but overall, the food and drinks were quite disappointing. It’s a new restaurant, so hopefully they...
