I recently dined at (Korean Restaurant near Eastvara), a venue whose location could scarcely be more convenient, situated directly opposite the parking area of Eastvara. One would have to make a conscious effort to miss it. Upon arrival, we were received with appropriate courtesy and promptly asked about our party size. Dining as a pair, we were ushered in without delay. The pricing, at first glance, leans decisively towards the indulgent end of the spectrum, though it remains broadly consistent with what one might expect from a Korean establishment of this calibre, particularly given the inclusion of banchan. We initially ordered Seolleongtang (설렁탕), having been advised that it would suffice for sharing. Trusting this guidance, we refrained from over ordering, a decision that, in retrospect, feels almost charmingly optimistic. There was also a rather delicate suggestion regarding minimum spend requirements for complimentary banchan refills, though the specifics remained intriguingly unclear, leaving one to interpret the subtext rather than the policy itself. When the Seolleongtang arrived, it proved to be modest in portion, sufficient for two perhaps, but only just. The broth itself was commendable, gently seasoned, rich with the depth of bone marrow and collagen, offering a refined, almost understated profile. For those who favour subtlety, it is rather pleasing. For others, it may invite a discreet addition of salt and sesame oil, as was the case at our table. Realising that something more substantial was required, we proceeded to order Tangsuyuk (탕수육). Here, the pendulum swung decisively in the opposite direction. The portion was remarkably generous, almost theatrically so. The dish was served with the sauce separate, encouraging diners to dip rather than drench, a stylistic choice that preserves the crispness of the batter. The result was thoroughly enjoyable, crisp, savoury, and satisfyingly textured. The banchan selection comprised five varieties, including sliced pumpkin, fish cake with ssamjang, napa cabbage kimchi, cucumber with ssamjang, and salted fish. The fish cake, in particular, stood out and warranted a refill. It was at this juncture, however, that one encountered a rather curious inconsistency. A different member of staff casually mentioned that there was, in fact, no minimum order requirement for banchan refills. One cannot help but admire the interpretative flexibility of the service team, though it does leave the diner momentarily suspended between two equally confident yet contradictory explanations. Dessert was a simple yet pleasant affair, consisting of fresh watermelon and coffee, both of which provided a refreshing and fitting conclusion to the meal. The space itself is well suited to its purpose. It is not designed for idle lingering, but rather for dining with intent. With several private rooms available, it lends itself particularly well to business meetings or more formal gatherings. All things considered, (Korean Restaurant near Eastvara) delivers a dining experience that is, in many respects, highly commendable. The cuisine is thoughtfully prepared and, at times, genuinely excellent. The service, while polite, occasionally ventures into the realm of interpretative ambiguity, which adds a certain, shall we say, unexpected dimension to the evening. A memorable visit nonetheless, and certainly one that invites a return, if only to clarify, once and for all, the philosophy behind its banchan policy.

Had dinner here after spending the day walking around Bogor city center. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. The food was great too! We enjoy very much the sop buah & batagor. Nasi Iga Bakar is also nice. All with very affordable prices.

The food taste delicious. I ordered nasi timbel iga bakar and cuanki tomyam, both are tasty. Sop buah was too sweet for my liking. Our order delivered less than 15 minutes. The place has spacious parking lot, there are small outdoor area behind that might suitable for family and kids. Musholla for male and female is available.

Was popular for the various “sop buah”, small slice of tropical fruit sauced with coconut water and syrup. Spacious place, with outdoor for smoker. Limited choice of food but it comes with fair taste and price. Recommended for: Quick brunch or supper. What I don’t like: seat and table looks dull, not comfortable for bit longer seating

Legendary culinary spot in Bogor city area, famous for durian & fruit soup. Now they serve heavy menu options for lunch and dinner too. We visited here for lunch, very fast serving, and taste was great! Nasi timbel iga bakar matah was great, original cuankie and tom yum cuankie was excellent too. Price is reasonable. Don't forget to order their famous durian & fruit soup too. Recommended.
