Best Chinese Restaurants in Jakarta

Hello FlokqApril 13, 2020

Indonesia is a country with a long history of Chinese descents, and it is reflected by the numbers of Chinatowns throughout the country. Jakarta, with its plural society, has several Chinese-dominated areas, namely from Pluit and Kelapa Gading area in North Jakarta to the Glodok area in West Jakarta. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that Jakarta has several heavenly Chinese restaurants to enjoy. Here we’ve gathered 5 of the best Chinese restaurants in Jakarta that is worth your visit:

1. Angke

The undisputed fave of Chinese Indonesians in Jakarta, Angke has been serving Chinese Hakka style from 1965. With four branches in total throughout the city, Angke has an extensive menu with exquisite flavors and generous portions. Their Lindung Cah Fumak – sautéed deep-fried ell coated in fermented soybean sauce is a must-try. The crispiness from the eel with the salty taste from the sauce is out of this world. Another best-selling menu in Angke is Kuluyuk Chicken – a deep-fried chicken fillet coated with a thick sweet and sour sauce. If you want to step out of your comfort zone and try some ethnic food, then you must try the deep-fried doves with butter sauce. It’s tender, and the saltiness from the butter sauce binds it all to perfection.

Although pork is commonly used in Chinese foods, Din Tai Fung in Indonesia does not serve meals that contain pork. Claimed as the world’s tastiest dumpling ever, surely you don’t want to miss their xiaolongbao. We recommend you to order the one with mixed minced chicken and crab meat. Another great menu from Din Tai Fung is Roasted Duck Noodles – HongKong-style noodle served with roast duck and kailan.
