Discover Wizzmie, the viral Surabaya spot that's a haven for budget-conscious foodies! This lively eatery is famous for its unbelievably cheap prices, serving up spicy Mie Goyang and super crispy WizzChicken that won't break the bank. With a vibrant atmosphere perfect for hanging out with friends and a constant stream of promotions like flash sales and prize giveaways, it’s the ultimate social hub. Find out why this spot is all the rage and how to score the best deals.
Scrolling through Instagram, I was constantly bombarded by a place called Wizzmie, and I almost thought it was a scam… Noodles on a ShopeeFood flash sale for just over 6k rupiah?[1] You can win an iPhone just by eating fried chicken?[2] Anjay! With a "let's see what all the hype is about" attitude, I went for it.
A Happy Place for Young People
The moment I walked in, I got it. This place is basically a happy haven tailor-made for students in Surabaya. The atmosphere inside was better than I expected—not one of those dingy little eateries. The space is bright and open, with colorful decorations, and you can tell right away it's the perfect spot to Nongkrong with friends[3]. Pop music was playing in the background, and it was filled with the chatter of young people. The vibe was lively and very Chill.
I ordered their two signature items: Mie Goyang and WizzChicken.
Mie Goyang[4] is that classic Indonesian-style spicy dry noodle dish. The noodles are chewy, and the sauce has that typical sweet and spicy flavor. I didn't dare to be reckless and try the highest spice level, but the mild spicy was already flavorful enough. One bite and I was shouting Mantap!
WizzChicken[5] fried chicken, the "ultimate crispiness" they officially boast about is no joke. The skin is seriously crunchy, while the chicken inside is still juicy and not at all dry. No wonder the local kids at the next table all order the Paket Rock combo, which is fried chicken with rice. It's so satisfying to take big bites of meat.
Let's Be Real
Honestly, don't expect the food here to be mind-blowingly amazing. It's just that simple, straightforward, heavy-flavored comfort food that makes you feel good. Its positioning is a bit like an Indonesian version of "Saizeriya"—its core strength is its extreme value for money and the social atmosphere created for young people. The taste is worth the price, and maybe even exceeds expectations.
Guide to Getting Deals & Avoiding Pitfalls
Alright, for the girls who want to go, here are the key points. The right way to experience this place is by hunting for deals!
- Stalk Their Official Media: You have to follow their IG! All kinds of buy one, get one free and flash sale[6] promotions are basically non-stop. Some offers are limited, like only for the first 100 customers[7], so if you want to snag a deal, you have to go early.
- The Delivery Hack: If you're too lazy to go out, you can just order through GoFood, GrabFood, or ShopeeFood[8]. I snagged my 6k noodles on the app this time, and it was even cheaper than dining in.
- It's All About Participating: Don't miss the recent spend-and-win-a-big-prize event[9]. I saw the raffle box in the store was about to burst[10]. What if that phone lands right in your lap? You gotta have a dream
- Score noodles for only 6k IDR on a ShopeeFood flash deal. You'd be crazy to miss this steal![1][2]
- WizzChicken's fried chicken has insanely crispy skin and juicy meat. A hit with local kids who order the full set![3]
- Colorful decor, pop music, buzzing with young crowds. A Chill vibe makes it the happy home base for Surabaya students[4]
