A noodle joint at a gas station? Believe it! This viral Medan spot is a hit with the youth, thanks to its incredible rooftop seating. It's the perfect place to hang out and enjoy the evening breeze while watching the city bustle below. The main attractions are the super chewy Mie Ayam and generously filled Pangsit. This trendy eatery offers a surprisingly chill vibe, but be prepared for crowds and limited parking, especially on weekend nights.
To be honest, when my friend asked me to eat noodles at a gas station, I was hesitant... I was thinking, how good can it be? But the moment we parked, Anjay! This isn't your traditional noodle joint, it's clearly a hotspot for trendy people! There's even a Rooftop upstairs? It completely shattered my stereotype of a Mie Ayam shop[1].
Eating Noodles on a Rooftop, What an Incredible Experience
The whole place is divided into indoor and outdoor areas, but the best part is definitely the rooftop on the second floor! Going up in the evening, with the gentle breeze, watching the bustling traffic and the fountain nearby, it's so Chill to Nongkrong here with friends[2]! The vibe is just perfect, no wonder it's full of young people.
Back to the food, the signature Mie Ayam[3] is a must-order! I chose the 'kasar' thick noodles, and the texture was super chewy, while the broth was rich and savory. My friend's Pangsit[4] (wontons) were also surprisingly good; whether fried or boiled, the meat filling was super generous. Oh, and you have to try their Kopi Susu[5] too, it's a perfect match with the noodles! Mantap!
Some Real Talk…
But, to be fair, I have to say this. That trendy snack, Cakwe Pandan[6] (pandan sauce crullers), I personally didn't quite get the combo, but my friend found it very novel, so it's really a matter of personal taste. Also, the rooftop area gets crazy packed on weekend nights[7], so you have to get there early to snag a good spot. And since it's right next to a gas station, friends who drive will need some patience to find a parking spot[8].
Editor's Pro-Tips 📝
- Best Time: If you want to enjoy the evening breeze and night view on the Rooftop, make sure to arrive after 5 PM[9]! It's so hot you'll melt if you go at noon, so it's better to sit downstairs in the air-conditioned room.
- How to Order: The signature Mie Ayam is a no-brainer, and if you have a big appetite, just go for the Jumbo size, it'll definitely fill you up[10]. If you love wontons, order the Pangsit; both the fried and boiled versions are delicious.
- Parking Warning: Parking spots are really limited. It's recommended to come by motorcycle or ride-hailing to save yourself the headache of finding a spot.
- A Note for Takeout: If you're getting it to go, you can just order directly at the cashier[11], no need to wait for a table.
- Hidden in a gas station, this noodle spot redefines Mie Ayam. The contrast alone is worth the trip[1]!
- Hit the Rooftop at dusk to catch the breeze and watch the traffic. Perfect for a super Chill[2] Nongkrong session!
- Their signature Mie Ayam is perfectly chewy and savory. Pair it with an authentic Kopi Susu—this combo is legendary
