I ate a 14,000 Rupiah ramen in Surabaya, so hot I melted on the spot.

The Vibe is"Japanese," the Feel is"African"

Complaint Time, No Sugarcoating

So, if you want to experience a Japanese ramen vibe on a budget, or if you're a student with limited funds, this place is definitely for you. But if you're a veteran foodie who seeks authentic flavors and a comfortable environment, emmm... you know.

Exclusive Pitfall Avoidance Guide 📝

A heads-up for my Girls who are planning to check it out:

• If you're afraid of heat, come at night! During the day, there are only a few fans blowing, and it really gets hot enough to make you question life. Coming at night will be much more comfortable.[9]
• Expect long queues during meal times! Especially at lunchtime, there are tons of people. If you don't want to wait, go during off-peak hours.[10]
• The process is entirely self-service. Go to the counter yourself to order and pay. They'll give you a pager, and when it buzzes, go to the window to pick up your food. Don't just sit there foolishly waiting for a waiter.[11]
• Ocha is not free-refill! This is different from many Japanese restaurants. Once you finish it, it's gone, so drink sparingly.[12]
• Lower your service expectations. During peak hours, the staff might be a bit chaotic and might not even be clear about the spiciness levels on the menu. Keep an eye out yourself.[13]
