Curious about a Medan Taiwanese spot with a flawless 5.0 Google rating? Zeribowl might be the real deal! This cozy eatery serves up seriously "mantap" dishes like a rich and fragrant Spicy Ramen and a perfectly balanced Mentai Ricebowl. The Matcha Drink also gets a big thumbs-up. While the food is a hit, the article gives a heads-up on the tiny gyoza portions. It's the perfect guide for a delicious, affordable meal at this chill spot.
Seeing over 1800+ reviews on Google, all with a perfect 5.0 score, I was stunned. In a place like Medan, seriously? Were they fake reviews, or is this place the real deal? With an "I have to see this for myself" attitude, I headed straight over to this little Taiwanese spot called Zeribowl.
The place isn't big, but it's pretty comfy, with a bit of a Japanese fast-food joint vibe. The brand's philosophy, "a bowl of HAPPINESS"[1], is printed on the wall, and it's all about creating a relaxed and happy atmosphere. It's perfect for coming to Nongkrong with friends, or for grabbing a quick meal by yourself. It's really quite chill.
A Personal Taste Test: Some Surprises and Some "Shocks"
I went straight for the Spicy Ramen[2]. The broth was genuinely rich, not that watery, half-assed stuff. The thick noodles were coated in broth, served with an egg and chicken, and sprinkled with crispy fried onions. One bite, and Anjay! The spice level was just right, and it was insanely fragrant. 👍
The Mentai Ricebowl[3] my friend ordered wasn't a miss either. The chicken was very tender, the mentai sauce was just the right amount and not too rich, and the rice texture was on point. It's a combination that makes you want to come back for more.
For drinks, I tried the officially recommended Matcha Drink[4]. As a matcha lover, I was very satisfied. The taste was rich, and the milk and tea flavors were well-balanced. It's not that cloyingly sweet, over-the-top stuff. Definitely worth a try.
Alright, praise is over, let's get real. About that Gyoza[5]... the flavor was good, but the portion was seriously tiny. Felt like they were gone in one bite. For the price, in terms of value for money, emmm... you know what I mean. 😅
