“ Protein seekers!!! The place will crowd anytime either the customer or online delivery service would make the place full. Sate was really good we can buy them per piece and mix them (Chicken, meat) for one portion. The price is cheap with good quality of sate. Highly recommend ”
“ Tasty enough for the chicken satay and Garang asem just so so, it lack of spices, its not sour and should be bit spicy For the prices ehmm well i can say its fine (34k Idr for 10 Skewers), coz u will be served with big chunks of chicken meat , unlike other satay seller One Critics for me is “ Please clean up ur place, eww, losing my appetite “ ”
“ This is the best sate I’ve had. I came to Indonesia in 2015. Tried sate many times and could never figure out what was so good about grilled meat, of any kind. To me it was no different than any other grilled meat I’ve had, anywhere. That changed today! Fresh off the grill. Fantastic sauce and sambal. Ample condiment. I ordered 10 and could have eaten 10 more. My wife had the same. Two orders of sate (10 pieces) and one lonton for 78,000 rupiah. Staff were friendly. Service was fast. Delicious. Can’t wait to go again. ”
“ they sell chicken, and goat satay. for the chicken one, you can choose whether it's only meat, skin, liver, or the mix of them. the meat is in big cuts. compared to other chicken satay, this one has a very smooth peanut sauce. it's as smooth as the one found in gado-gado, or ketoprak. whereas, most chicken satay usually still has chunks of peanuts. nevertheless, the taste is good. you may want to add sweet soy sauce to enrich the flavor. the place is quite spacious. it's not too crowded. it's open since early morning to late at night. for the payment, you can use cash or bank transfer. ”
“ Very yummy, the chicken slices was big, well marinated and grilled. The sauces are thick and delicious. I think u can buy 1 portion of satay for 2 person. The price was affordable to the food ”
