Discover Jakarta's massive Quiznos, reportedly the largest in the world! While the prices might make you pause, the experience could be worth it. This spot boasts a spacious, chill atmosphere perfect for an afternoon hangout. The main attraction is the oven-toasted sandwiches, served piping hot with a satisfying crunch. Find out if signature flavors like the Baja Chicken and Classic Italian justify the premium price, and which side dishes you should probably skip.
Every time you crave a sandwich, does only that green 'S' brand pop into your head? Honestly, I'm a bit tired of it.
A friend recently recommended this place, Quiznos, calling it the"upgraded version" of Subway. I went with an"I'll see for myself just how 'upgraded' it is" attitude, but when I saw the menu, Anjay! A 6-inch sandwich combo was almost $9[1]. My wallet clenched, and I almost turned around and walked out right then and there.
The Space and the Food Are Indeed Upgraded
Well, since I was already there, I went in and found it was worth it. The space is genuinely huge, with high ceilings[2] and comfy sofas, completely lacking the cramped feeling of a typical fast-food joint. Apparently, it's even the largest Quiznos branch in the world[3]! Lots of people were working on their laptops here, the vibe is very Chill, and it's a great spot to Nongkrong for an afternoon.
After agonizing for a while, I ordered the most recommended Baja Chicken[4] and Classic Italian[5]. And here's the best part: their sandwiches are toasted to order! It comes to you piping hot, and the bread is toasted so crispy it makes a crunching sound when you bite into it. The Baja Chicken has a bit of a kick, and paired with the rosemary bread, the aroma is just heavenly, Mantap! The Classic Italian is fresher, with plenty of veggies and fresh meat, not at all like those cold, pre-made sandwiches.
But Let's Be Real...
Of course, it's not without its flaws. The price is definitely on the high side. As a girl, a 6-inch[6] sandwich left me feeling only about 70% full. Guys with bigger appetites might need to go straight for the 12-inch. Also, don't have high expectations for the side dishes. The fries I ordered were a bit limp[7] and had lost their soul.
Editor's Pro-Tips 📝
- Don't panic when ordering: It gets crowded during peak hours with long lines. I suggest checking the menu online beforehand, otherwise, having a bunch of people staring at you from behind is super stressful[8].
- Seating strategy: If the ground floor is full, head straight to the second floor. There's an air-conditioned area and restrooms, and it's quieter.
- Free parking: Good news for drivers! The parking lot is huge and free, but the storefront isn't very noticeable. Remember to slow down when you get close, as it's easy to drive right past it!
- Red flag alert: A friend tried the Creamy Truffle Chicken and said they couldn't taste the truffle at all[9], so you might want to steer clear of that one.
- Forget typical fast food! This world's largest Quiznos `[1]` boasts high ceilings `[2]` and sofas, so Chill you can Nongkrong all afternoon.
- Sandwiches are freshly toasted to order, bread crispy & crunchy! The Baja Chicken `[3]` with rosemary bread? Aroma's heavenly, Mantap!
- Why call it Subway's "high-spec version"? Freshly toasted crispy `[4]` sandwiches + world's largest `[5]` Chill space `[6]` – you'll get it!
