Vegetarian - Jakarta

Came here just before Chinese New Year. I wish I had found it earlier, so I could have gone again before they closed for the holiday. The shop is small, located down a narrow and crowded alleyway. It can be a bit hard to spot as the press of people move you along. It 's on your left coming up from Pancoran, the main road. Look for the word Vegetarian . As it standard for Chinese veg places, it 's set up with a bunch of dishes ready to go, and you take your pick of them as they dish them out. The owner is very enthusiastic and friendly, and was happy to explain each dish in fluent English. He also confirmed that everything was vegan, which was nice. As I ate in, a food tour passed by, and he gave animated explanations of the food to the group. He seems to be quite passionate about his work. I got a big plate at a very good price (as the owner will tell you, he 's upfront about his prices). I was also given a complimentary cup of tea. The food was quite good on a large serving of rice, and had a nice variety of veg and mock meat. Red mock pork and satay skewers were a personal favorite. Filling and delicious. Would recommend anybody visiting Jakarta to drop by for lunch.

The food is amazing. They are so passionate with how they create their food! So much thought goes into every dish. The restaurant was closed as he had a busy day and had sold out of most things, but he saw us lost in China Town and ushered us in and prepared us a meal even though he was closed. We tried a couple dishes of what he had left over and explained to us how he makes everything. The food is made with love and is cruelty free! Definitly stop by here if you are visiting Jakarta!

Really good Indonesian food and people are super friendly! I'll be back.

Quite vegan, the owner is so passionate and friendly. explains what is and what it is. really beautiful, in the location to taste authentic Indonesian food vegan and some Chinese. recommend the rendang and the sate.

Had a great, filling food here that was excellent. the owner was really nice, we had a great chat while I chose my options and eating. I had hoped to visit again, but did not end again in the opposite before the departure. definitely recommend and would have gone again if to stay closer.
