Anjay! Just arrived at this Wizzmie in Madiun and was shocked by the huge crowd queuing at the entrance. Is it free or something? 😂 I heard it's the number one rival of a certain famous noodle chain[1], so I had to come check it out today and see what all the fuss is about.
Crowded, but so Chill you won't want to leave
Honestly, even though it gets crazy crowded during peak hours, the whole place is huge, it's a semi-open space[2], so even without AC and just big fans, it's still quite cool and not stuffy at all. There are plenty of seating options too, whether it's for a date for two or a big group of friends coming to Nongkrong.
The biggest surprise is that they actually have a kids' play area[3]! It's a total godsend for families with kids, right? You can finally have a peaceful meal.
Must-Try Signatures vs. What to Avoid
🍝 Spicy Signature Noodles (Mi Goyang): Came here for this, and the flavor is truly Mantap![4] The noodle texture, consistency, and toppings are all perfect, and the spice level is just right—not so spicy you breathe fire, but still very satisfying.
🍦 Italian Ice Cream (Gelato): The best thing here! Promise me you'll order it! Especially the durian flavor[5], it's so rich it's intoxicating, so delicious I wanted to get another one to go!
🍚 Rice Bowl: Tried the one with sambal sauce, and they give you a ton of sauce, perfect for mixing with the rice. But the Japanese teriyaki sauce my friend ordered was a bit ordinary, the flavor wasn't very prominent[6].
🍣 Sushi: Hmm… how should I put it? It's just at an "okay" level[7]. You can order it or not, just don't have high expectations.
Oh, and I also saw that they're heavily promoting their new fried chicken, WizzChicken[8]. Seems like there's some kind of lucky draw event too. The one the next table ordered looked super crispy, I have to try it next time!
Honest Truth & Tips
To be honest, if you come during meal times, you'll really wait forever[9], so be mentally prepared. But the magical thing is, after you order, the food comes out super fast! This deserves a big thumbs up👍.
Parking isn't free, btw. It's 2k for motorcycles and 3k for cars[10], but the prices are clearly marked, so it's acceptable.
Here are some time-saving tips I've summed up for you, you're welcome:
- Go off-peak! Off-peak! Off-peak! If you don't want to queue, avoid the lunch and dinner rush. Personally tested and proven effective.
- A must-read for gelato lovers: You can order the Gelato first, then pick it up with your receipt after finishing your main course. Otherwise, it will literally melt in a second right before your eyes[11]!
- Top choice for a family day: If you have kids, just go for it. There's a play area[12], a prayer room, and restrooms—the facilities are so complete it doesn't feel like a noodle shop.
- It gets packed, but the huge, semi-open space stays cool and Chill. Perfect for Nongkrong with friends [1].
- The Durian Gelato is insanely rich! So good you'll want to take some home. A must-try for ice cream lovers [2]!
- They even have a kids' play area! A lifesaver for families, so you can finally eat in peace [3]
