Curious about the viral Semarang spot Wizzmie with a 4.8-star rating? This place boasts a chill vibe perfect for hanging out and unbelievably cheap prices, like noodles for just 6k! But there's a catch—the signature noodles might not be for everyone. The real star is the incredibly crispy and tender fried chicken. Find out if this budget-friendly eatery is worth the hype and what you should definitely order (or skip) before you go.
Girls, I'm shook. I was scrolling through Google Maps in Semarang and came across this place called Wizzmie. I looked at the rating, and holy cow, 4.8 stars with almost 10,000 reviews[1]! I was thinking, what kind of god-tier restaurant is this? But then I casually scrolled through the reviews and found that opinions were extremely divided... Anjay, my curiosity got the better of me, so I just had to come check it out for you all!
Great Vibe, Killer Prices
The moment I walked in, hmm, it's got something. Don't think it's messy just because it's a fast-food joint; the environment is actually pretty Chill, the lighting and music were just right. Lots of people who looked like students were inside, Nongkrong, and some were even having their 'me time' alone, and it didn't feel out of place at all[2].
When I opened the menu, I was blinded by the prices... Their signature Mie Goyang[3], during a promotion, was just over 6,000 rupiah?![4] Can you believe that price? It's cheaper than a cup of coffee I'd drink.
As for the Taste... It's a "Specialist"
Here comes the main event. The noodles were served, and they looked decent. I took a bite... hmm... how should I put it? It's the kind of thing you can't say tastes bad, but you feel the flavor combination is a bit strange. The young couple at the next table was eating with great relish, but I personally just couldn't get into it, just like some reviews said, the flavor combination doesn't quite work[5].
But! The! Fried chicken, WizzChicken[6], is absolutely Mantap! That 'crunch' sound you can almost hear from the photos is no exaggeration. The skin is so crispy it flakes off, and the chicken inside is still very tender. I could eat two more pieces of this!
So honestly, this place is a 'specialist'. If you come for the noodles, you might think, 'That's it?', but if you're here for the fried chicken and the lively atmosphere, and you're also looking for a place to chill with friends, then it's definitely worth it.
Pro Tips (Quick, take notes)
Alright, that's all for today's restaurant report. Has anyone else been there? Come chat with me in the comments, are you team noodles or team fried chicken? 🤔
- Number one for saving money: Their marketing game is on another level; there are promotions on their IG every day. Things like "buy one get one free" and limited-time flash sales are commonplace, and there's even a huge event with a 100 million rupiah cash prize draw[7]! Be sure to check their official IG before you go, don't be a sucker.
- Ordering pitfalls to avoid: If you're like me and aren't sure about that 'strange' flavored noodle, take a veteran's advice: you can try the sushi[8]! Or just focus on the fried chicken, you absolutely can't go wrong.
- A blessing for the lazy: Too lazy to go out or wait in line? No problem, you can order on GoFood, GrabFood, and ShopeeFood[9]. Isn't it great to just lie at home and eat fried chicken?
- 4.8 stars on Google Maps but the reviews are a mess? Had to see what the hype was about[1].
- Their Mie Goyang is weird, but the WizzChicken is Mantap! Shatter-crisp skin, juicy meat—that crunch is addictive[2]!
- Wild promos: constant BOGO deals, flash sales, and a 100M IDR cash prize raffle[3]. You'd be crazy to miss out
