Think a 4.6-star rating guarantees a good meal? Think again. This article exposes the shocking reality of Meatsuka Medan's budget All-You-Can-Eat deal. From cockroaches on the buffet to endless waits for low-quality meat, the experience is more "All You Can Wait" than AYCE. This must-read warning uncovers the disastrous hygiene, poor service, and false advertising behind the hype, urging diners to steer clear despite the tempting price and high rating.
Guys, I'm speechless. Drawn in by the 4.6 Google rating for Meatsuka in Medan and the gimmick of an AYCE (All-You-Can-Eat) for just 150k IDR per person, the result was... Anjay, this might be the most ridiculous disaster I've ever encountered in Sumatra. 🤦♀️
A Disaster Scene, and I'm Not Exaggerating
Something felt off the moment I walked in. A wave of stuffy heat mixed with the smell of cooking fumes hit me, the AC was basically just for decoration, and the power went out halfway through the meal. The area under the table was full of mosquitoes, and my legs were covered in bites[1].
But that was just the beginning. The most insane part was when I personally saw cockroaches taking a stroll on the buffet counter and flies having a party on the fried chicken[2]! I lost half my appetite on the spot. Later, I overheard the next table complaining that they saw an employee washing cups in the toilet[3]. My jaw dropped, and the cup in my hand suddenly felt disgusting...
“All You Can Wait,” Not “All You Can Eat”
Let's talk about the food. Their official Instagram promotes "No limits, just meat"[4]—a loud and proud slogan. The reality? The first plate of so-called "Wagyu" had more fat than lean meat, was all broken into tiny pieces, and after grilling, it was incredibly tough to chew, like a rubber band[5].
Want more meat? Heh, get ready to wait until the end of time. I asked four different waiters for a refill, and after almost an hour, nothing came[6]. This so-called AYCE should be renamed "All You Can Wait." The nearby buffet section with cooked food, like fried rice and fried snacks, was all cold[7] and completely inedible.
The Huge Gap Between Ads and Reality
Honestly, this is a classic case of false advertising. They use low prices to attract students and young people on a budget[8], but the actual experience is a total mess. The menu says the Premium package has 4 types of meat, but when you get there, they tell you only 2 are available[9]. Service, hygiene, ingredients—none of them were up to par. Oh, and by the way, they charge an extra 1% fee for paying with QRIS[10]. They really know how to do business, huh?
A Guide to Avoiding This Disaster, Please Memorize It All
So, girls, take my advice:
- Just blacklist it: No matter how high its Google rating is or how tempting the Instagram photos look, don't go! Trust me, not the ads[11]!
- Lower your expectations: If you absolutely must go, lower your expectations to the center of the earth. Don't expect a satisfying meal; you'll be lucky to even get full.
- Bring your own gear: Pack mosquito repellent and be prepared to eat in a sauna.
- Don't trust the menu: The items on the menu are likely unavailable. Be ready to be told "kosong" (sold out) at any moment.
- Cash is king: If you don't want to be charged extra, prepare cash in advance.
- Google 4.6 stars for a 150k IDR all-you-can-eat[1] deal that's actually "all-you-can-wait." What a joke[2].
- Promised endless meat, but you get fatty scraps that grill like chewing rubber bands[3]. A total scam.
- Cockroaches strolling on the buffet, flies having a meeting on the chicken[4], and staff washing cups in the toilet. Seriously?
