SERLY's Best Restoran 2025


1. Genbu - Premium Katsu & Bar PIK
Best chicken in PIK 2! Juicy meat, crispy skin, and amazing taste. Must try!
“Had the best premium tonkatsu here in Genbu Located within area of PIK 2, exterior kinda easily missed since very simple and small entrance. Interior are comfortable, simple, there is this bar within the dining area. I think they had second floor. Came during lunch time, almost all tables are occupied on the first floor. We sat at the table across the bar, and kinda cramp, table is small. When we came, they give us complimentary drink, IDK whats that, like green tea had a sweet smell. Service excellent, they are quick and knowledgeable about the menus. Not that attentive though as it is crowded. I had the galician sirloin tonkatsu set (IDR 179k), portion came big. Serve with delicious white rice, not too sticky but soft, whole bunch of gratef cabbage, potato salad, and delicious miso soup. Tonkatsu is crispy , inside moist juicy delicious, the batter kinda easily crumbling and fell apart, but who cares about crumbling batter when the taste is delicious. The sauce are the same as the you know who, typical tonkatsu sauce. Had the tonkatsu curry rice (IDR 149k), curry delicious, savory not too heavy, but just okay for me nothing special. The tonkatsu on the other hand has a kinda different taste compare with the galician. The Pork Yaki Gyoza 4pcs (IDR 49k) taste just okay, nothing special and small size. The shrimp ebi furai (IDR 189k), comes in 4 big prawns fried with crispy batter, serve with tartar sauce, the tartar sauce is delicious shrimp is also cook nicely, sweet juicy, but again, the crumbling batter texture is kinda annoying cause they fall apart all over the place. Ocha (IDR 20k) free refill Overall, I like Genbu, and might be my go to for tonkatsu, since cheaper has the same taste as you know who (katsut*k*).The only downside is the crumbling easily fell apart flour batter. But overall delicious.”


2. Kakigōri Kōridō
Best Kakigori in Surabaya! Fluffy ice like snow, refreshing & sweet. Perfect treat!
“First impression : Pertama kali masuk kelihatan kalau tempatnya quite effort, offer something new. In short, ada potensi utk jadi tempat chill di surabaya timur. Menu 1 : Untuk kakigorinya enak ga terlalu manis no guilty feeling makannya, langsung melting di mulut, secara porsi quiet big untuk 2 org, price wise mgkin utk 3 cukup worth. Menu 2 : Choux coklatnya the best, ga terlalu manis, texturnya crispy. Price wise sangat worth it. Ambience & sound : Suhu ac cukup dingin, music playlistnya enak, Misc: Sofanya ga terlalu enak buat nyantai. Masih banyak nyamuk. Tempat cukup luas, cmn better banyakin seating arrangement untuk small group (2-3 orang) Parking spot, 9 mobil mgkin cukup, setelah itu harus parkir pinggir jalan. Itu di cabinet bar nya kayak kurang match dekorasinya kalo pakai cangkir IMHO. Best time to visit : 2-3pm 8pm Since hari ini baru buka, masih banyak nyamuk, i mean BUANYAK banget. 1/2 total staff hunting nyamuk pakai raket nyamuk. Overall impression: Cukup puas, ga banyak tempat offer quality dessert with effort place. This place has quiet potentiall. Price wise cukup oke. Utk yg penasaran coba mgkin temoat ini cukup recommend utk dicoba, IMHO i think ill be back once in a while to this place. “Chef kiss””


3. WONE Cafe and Patisserie Kota Kasablanka
Elegant spot in Kokas! Tasty pastries & cozy vibes. Perfect for tea time or hanging out.
“Cheesecake Mochi nya ga ada lawan...”


4. Sentral Al Jazeerah Restaurant & Cafe مطعم سنترال الجزيرة
Authentic Middle Eastern cuisine! Tender lamb, aromatic Mandi rice & grand vibes.
“Mandi rice with lamb (5/5) umm ali (5/5) cheese sambusak (5/5) Mandi rice with chicken (4,5/5) Chicken sambusak (4/5) Mix grilled (4/5) A place to eat that is suitable for families. The food is delicious. Even though this is Middle Eastern food, I'm sure many Indonesian people like it. The female waiter was very helpful in choosing the menu. The only downside was that when we brought in leftover food that wasn't finished, the restaurant wrapped it in styrofoam. maybe it can be improved by providing safer packaging for food”


5. Little Bahari Seafood & Ikan Bakar
Fresh seafood! Must try Pandan Chicken & Kangkung. Tasty & authentic dining.
“Little Bahari is renowned for its delicious seafood dishes. The menu features a variety of fresh seafood options, including grilled/steam fish (ikan bakar/tim), prawns, various types of shellfish, etc. Below is my recommendation: - Gorengan: A selection of fried seafood items such as salted egg prawn, calamari, salted egg calamari, etc. - Ikan Bakar/Tim: Grilled/Steam fish, often served with a choice of sauces like sambal, sweet soy sauce, tim hongkong (savoury taste), tim nyonya (fresh and sour taste). - Kangkung Terasi: Stir-fried water spinach with shrimp paste. - Kerang Rebus: Boiled mussels served with a dipping sauce. - Any Seafood Saus Padang: Seafood cooked in a spicy Padang sauce (my top recommendation). As for the service is friendly and attentive, which the staff are patient and helpful, ensuring that diners have a pleasant experience. However, the restaurant can get quite busy, especially on weekends, which might result in longer wait times for seating and service. Lastly, the atmosphere is casual and welcoming. The restaurant is well-decorated with a nautical theme, creating a cozy and relaxed environment. It’s a great place to unwind and enjoy a meal with family and friends. The ambiance is further enhanced by the friendly staff and the lively buzz of diners enjoying their meals. Little Bahari terkenal dengan hidangan lautnya yang lezat. Menu ini menampilkan berbagai pilihan makanan laut segar, termasuk ikan bakar/tim, udang, berbagai jenis kerang, dan lain-lain. Berikut rekomendasi saya: - Gorengan: Pilihan makanan laut yang digoreng seperti udang telur asin, cumi, cumi telur asin, dan lain-lain. - Ikan Bakar/Tim: Ikan bakar/tim, sering disajikan dengan pilihan saus seperti sambal, kecap manis, tim hongkong (rasa gurih), tim nyonya (rasa segar dan asam). - Kangkung Terasi: Tumis kangkung dengan terasi. - Kerang Rebus: Kerang rebus yang disajikan dengan saus cocol. - Seafood Saus Padang: Makanan laut yang dimasak dengan saus Padang yang pedas (rekomendasi top saya). Pelayanannya ramah dan perhatian, dengan staf yang sabar dan membantu, memastikan bahwa pengunjung memiliki pengalaman yang menyenangkan. Namun, restoran ini bisa sangat ramai, terutama di akhir pekan, yang mungkin mengakibatkan waktu tunggu lebih lama untuk tempat duduk dan layanan. Terakhir, suasananya santai dan menyambut. Restorannya dihias dengan tema bahari, menciptakan lingkungan yang nyaman dan rileks. Ini adalah tempat yang bagus untuk bersantai dan menikmati makanan bersama keluarga dan teman. Suasana semakin ditingkatkan oleh staf yang ramah dan keramaian pengunjung yang menikmati makanan mereka.”
