“ Tried their pempek adaan,lenjer and kapal selam to take away during PPKM darurat.Cuko is thick with a great combination sweet,spicy and sour taste.Its all taste good with reasonable price and affordable for sure.During PPKM darurat no dine in available. ”
“ The old style pempek (Palembang fish cakes fries) with authentic taste, since the owner is Chinese descent originated from Palembang, so I can guarantee you for the authenticity. Not a good place to go around dinner time since the place will be crowded with visitors ”
“ Pempek texture can be improved. A little bit hard to chew. But the cuko pempek is very good. ”
“ Standard service, small place with decent cleanliness. Not too shabby but not that good either...go for it if you eat as group so you can share, stay away if you want to eat alone because the price to fill your tummy won't be cheap. Taste okay if you like flour and spice more than the fish i guess. ”
“ There are so many pempek restaurants in Garuda Street, but in my opinion, this place has more delicious pempek than the others. Inconvenient spaces, bother pollution from the highway, but quality draw a crowd here. ”
“ The Kapal Selam menu is the best food to order here. Other pempek menu such as Tekwan is also delicious food. Recommended resto for South Sumatera menu such as Pempek and Tekwan. ”
“ Located on Jalan Garuda, near SMK 3 Jakarta. The place was quite tidy and clean. The food (I ordered Pempek Kapal Selam) was good and tasty, but the drink (Es Jeruk Peras) was bad. Its taste really sour, more than the Cuko Pempek and it costs 15k rupiahs. Better to bring your own drink. ”
“ Go to place for Pempek since elementary school, the food consistent with its taste and crispness level. Dipping sauce always been personal favorite ”
