Got here before lunch, the place is not packed with customers. Is it just lucky or else? I ordered the Soto Betawi (meat only), one portion of rice and some unsweetened Ice Tea costs 85K. Worth the price? Maybe yes maybe no. The soto for me was nothing special, not have a punchy taste for the coconut milk in it? just bland. Meat portion was so so, but it's just okay. Parking? not too plenty for cars and bikes.

First time here order 2 soto betawi , rice and hot sweet tea, i quite shocked pay Rp 225.000 😂😂 they are so generous about the meat and the pickles. now i understand why my late dad love this place so much 😂

Went here on a weekday lunch. The soup tasted good and rich, although too watery for me - maybe they don’t use that much coconut milk? I got the mixed soup with the meat and innards which were tasty and the portion was quite generous. The rice portion used to be bigger than this, so the current one was okay for me. One thing is the parking lot since it’s very limited and the overpriced menu they serve. Not sure whether I come back or not, but good meal tho!

A random pick after teaching on a Saturday and ordered their beef soto betawi with additional emping on the side. It is an old style place on the side of the road and the ambience was homey. You will find several tables and chairs for a group of 4 or 6 people, which makes this restaurant suitable for family brunch/lunch. Portion wise, all are very generous— the rice, the meat, tomato, emping (crackers), and the pickled cucumber + green chili. You may add chili and sweet soy sauce as you wish since they put it on the table. If you are expecting or craving to have a creamy medok soto, this is not the place. Their soto is the old-style watery soto, you can taste the spices that is refreshing, and don't be panic when they served it to you, although it looks red-ish but it is actually not spicy. Service was okay, everyone was very warm and polite. The parking lot is very limited, but as usual we do have "mas-mas" a.k.a the man on duty to help us park our vehicle, so you may try to ask for his help if possible. For the price, honestly I was quite shocked. Hahaha, it was Rp 80.000 a portion (rice included). So overall, it was an okay random pick. At least I tried it and now I can help you through this review 😆

Legendary Soto Betawi in South Jakarta. Soto betawi is Jakarta traditional soup with mixed beef and milk broth. In this place they also add chili oil that make it hot n spicy. You can order meat only or mixed. In mixed type they will add beef intestines, tripe and lung. All has been fried, served in little chunks Finally it is garnished with emping crackers and shredded green onion. The taste is good as always. However I notice a.decline in the soup thickness. Priced at 75 thousand including white rice it commands premium for similar food. The place has been renovated, it ia brighter and cleaner. However A/C is not exist so you will be sweaty after eating.
