Discover Hachi Grill Sunter, a massive All-You-Can-Eat BBQ and shabu-shabu spot in Jakarta for under 200k. This Halal-certified restaurant boasts a huge space and a dazzling selection of food, from quality meats and sushi to endless desserts. It's perfect for large groups and celebrations with its lively, party-like atmosphere. The article highlights its incredible value but advises booking in advance and avoiding peak weekend hours to beat the crowds and time limits for the best experience.
Usually, coming to this AYCE spot in Jakarta feels super chill, but this time, coming on a weekend, Anjay! I almost thought I'd stumbled into a Pasar Malam (night market)... There was already a long queue at the entrance, and inside it was bustling with noise; the atmosphere was a bit too lively. 😂
So Spacious You Could Hold a Sports Day, So Much Food It's Hard to Choose
Seriously, the interior space at Hachi Grill Sunter is truly grand, it feels big enough to host a party for 200 people[1]. The food station area is also super long, with barbecue, shabu-shabu, cooked dishes, and desserts in clearly defined sections, so you don't get all crowded together.
The food selection is dazzlingly vast, no exaggeration. The quality of the meat is truly Mantap, it's well-marinated, sizzling and releasing its oils as it grills. Dip it in their special sauce, and one bite is just so satisfying! Besides the barbecue and hot pot, there's also sushi, pasta, satay skewers, and even congee... The cakes and ice cream in the dessert section will definitely have you rolling out the door[2].
That day, the table next to us happened to be celebrating a birthday, and suddenly all the staff rushed over to sing and dance around them. The atmosphere was instantly ignited, and everyone in the restaurant was clapping. If you're an extrovert, celebrating your birthday here would be an absolute blast[3]!
But, let's get the cons out of the way…
While there are many pros, the cons are also obvious. It's really TOO! CROWDED! on weekends! It's as loud as a concert, so it's basically impossible to have a quiet meal. Plus, there's a time limit for dining, only 1 hour and 45 minutes[4]. When it's crowded, just queuing for food takes up a lot of time, and it feels like you're constantly in a battle… As for the taste, it's the 'safe' kind—it won't blow you away, but it definitely won't disappoint. After all, with this many options, the value for money is right there.
Here's My [Nongkrong Guide]!
So, is it worth going? My advice is: Go, but choose the right time and strategy!
- Book! Book! Book! Important things must be said three times. If you want to go, promise me you'll book in advance via WhatsApp[5]! Don't be stubborn and just show up, especially on weekends, or you'll be waiting forever.
- Choose the right time: If you want a more chill vibe, it's best to go on a weekday. If you can only go on a weekend, then avoid peak dining hours, like in the afternoon.
- More people is the way to go: This place is perfect for group dining! They have group prices, and it comes out to around IDR 168k+ per person[6]. It's super cost-effective for company outings or gatherings with friends when you split the bill.
- Good news for Muslim friends: This place is Halal-certified[7], and it's equipped with a clean and tidy prayer room[8]. You don't have to worry at all when bringing local friends to eat here, which is very thoughtful.
- Convenient parking: There are plenty of parking spots, so you don't have to worry about finding a space.
- Birthday? It's a wild celebration! Staff sing & dance for you, the whole place cheers [1]!
- Mantap meat, grilled juicy! BBQ, hotpot, sushi, pasta, desserts – so much food, you'll waddle out [2]!
