Thinking about visiting Mie Goyang in Lampung? This popular noodle house holds a delicious secret: its side dishes are the real stars! While the noodles are decent, the viral Udang Keju (Cheese Shrimp) is a must-order, featuring a crispy bite with a molten cheese explosion. The spot also boasts a surprisingly spacious and chill nighttime ambiance, perfect for hanging out. This review breaks down why the snacks steal the show and how to make the most of your visit.
Honestly, what's it like to go to a noodle house and end up being completely won over by the snacks? 🤣 This super popular Mie Goyang in Metro, Lampung, really taught me a lesson.
Don't blink, here comes the main character ✨
To be honest, their noodles are pretty standard. The Mie Manis Pedas (Sweet and Spicy Noodles)[1] I ordered had a generous portion and the taste was decent, but it wasn't amazing.
BUT! When the snacks were served, my eyes lit up! That Udang Keju (Cheese Shrimp)[2] that's been hyped up all over the internet is absolutely divine! The outside is fried to a golden crisp, and with one bite, the rich cheese just bursts out, mixed with the springy shrimp meat… Anjay, it was so good I'm at a loss for words! And that Pangsit Udang (Shrimp Wonton)[3] was also incredibly crispy. The portions are super generous, not like some stingy side dish at all.
The ambiance is also a plus. Don't be fooled by the small entrance; the back area of the restaurant is huge. When the lights come on at night, the vibe is immaculate. It's super Chill[4] whether you're bringing family, friends to Nongkrong, or on a date.
Let's get real (a little rant)
Nothing's perfect, so I have to complain a bit. Their drinks are honestly a bit of a letdown. They taste like artificial syrup[5], so I suggest bringing your own water or just ordering the simplest option. The service is also pretty laid-back. It's normal for tables to not have napkins or utensils, so you'll have to be proactive and ask for them[6].
Pro-tips, you're welcome 📝
All in all, I'd come back again just for a bite of that fried shrimp! Mantap! 👍
- Ordering strategy: You can order a main course, but definitely save your budget and stomach for the snacks! The cheese shrimp is an absolute must-order!
- Price check: The menu prices don't include tax. The final bill will have PPN (VAT) added[7], so don't be surprised.
- Noodle soup is a maybe: If you want noodles with soup, it's best to ask the staff first, as it might not be available sometimes[8].
- Best time to go: Go at night! The atmosphere is so much better than during the day, perfect for taking photos and hanging out with friends.
- Cheese Prawns are divine! Crispy skin bursts with rich cheese and plump shrimp. Unbelievably good [1]
- The back area has an incredible vibe at night, perfect for Nongkrong or a date. Super Chill [2]
