    Taste is not so special. Service is ok. Television in Selangor room (third floor) doesn't work. Price is restaurant standard. Location is ok. Cleanliness is ok. Payment : cash & card

    Well the place is nice, at the heart of the city But there's an incident, we all went there after company meeting. The food has already been served (great btw). But when we ate one of the food, there's a little cockroach inside the soup in one of the bowl. I bet the chef and the staff have already did their best to make the food clean as they should be, but they should've checked several times before serving it to the customer. It was a horrible experience for us, to see that tragedy. But we appreciate Penang Bistro for total replacement of all the food that has been served on the table (all of them, even the ones that has no problem), good crisis management, surely they have asked apologies many times. Please don't make same mistake.

    Best for family lunch or dinner. They have various options of veggies, chickens, beefs, seafoods, etc. We ordered chicken something with special sauce, turned out it was too many chicken bones - I am not a fan. Kailan tofu is the one I would recommend!

    My friends and I are on vacation and we found this place on TripAdvisor and it was amazing 🤩! Honestly, it was one of the best meals we had in Jakarta. You just need to experience the food because it’s delicious. I personally loved the magi salad, green beans and beef dish. I would highly recommend this restaurant!

    Penang bistro was a convenience place for family dine experience, lunch or dinner meeting. I recommended ayam goreng terasi as one of my fav menu here. Crispy outside, juicy, and mild "terasi" flavor. Sambal mangga was also very good and refreshing.

    We came here following a friend’s recommendation. My boyfriend had a dish with chicken wings which barely had any meat to it, but despite this the food was good. The dessert was amazing! The place is really nice, fancy and quiet, hence the higher prices.

    Nice place design, bad AC on one of their meeting room, OK food, staff services could be better (there is 1 very underperformed staff). I think if you need a spacious meeting place with a good wi-fi, you can consider this place.

  • 4/5 Cinthya T. 3 years ago on Google
    Review from visit on April 2, 2021 IDR 10,000 for parking (self parking, not valet). Pricey $$$ (to give a picture, IDR 71,000++ for a plate of spinach). Taste wise is 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿, all good, no complaint. During covid, they check your temperature, arranged seat distancing, and all utensils were given in a box of hot water to make sure it is clean. Ambiance 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

  • 2/5 Ruth E. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice food However the ambience is totally ruined by a manager and his team who has been busy preparing an event In the same room. He dragged the tables and chairs without bother to lift it up to avoid any noise. Not only our lunch break was not comfortable but the whole guesses kept looking at the hall hoping the preparation can be more considerable. Or else may be you should consider preparing at less busy timing.

  • 5/5 Cassandra A. 11 months ago on Google
    Nice to have food here either in large group or individual. Several times I have come here. This time trying the mee goreng. The taste is good, place is good, usually having dinner here while waiting for the traffic slowing down.

  • 5/5 Podungmy 4 years ago on Google
    It's nice place to eat together with Friends and family. Beautiful ambience, excellent service and dedicated food. Calm enough to have dinner and it is placed in pretty strategic location in Menteng, Central Jakarta. I like to have chocolate milk shake and crunchy dessert. The main courses is also good. Try this Asian restaurant.

    Very cozy restaurant, the dishes here are so yummy and drink here also nice, i have tried leci sereh .. it is very refreshing, the service also great here, they really make sure you are comfy while having your lunch. Suitable for meetings for groups or even for hangout with fellas. But the traffic outside sometimes what make us consider to have a lunch here, but overall i love the ambience.

  • 5/5 Pandu W. 3 years ago on Google
    Good food, good service, good vibe, with a price to match. Has designated private dining rooms, which we utilized for a meeting, but we had to turn off the music since it's disruptive. Parking is easy but Google Maps route to date may mislead you to the smaller road behind the building. Clean but small bathroom with adequate musalla.
