This is very difficult review to write as i love the restaurant. 3 times here so far, but last one was so disappointing. Place is fantastic, food is very good. Price is not cheap but hey we know this already. What’s so so sad was the service:
1. We’re 8 people, some were fasting. One of us mistakenly bring a bottle of water from the car, the lady escorted us talked down to him and told him no food or drink from outside, like he was a peasant. While saying she basically snatched the bottle from him, i almost gasped and like to told her how impolite she was, but i am old but she’s much older. The rest of us were offended but we let it go.
2. We were waiting for breakfasting time and the food, so we went upstairs to the rooftop. One of the reason we went to this resto was the rooftop and we had first timer in jakarta visitors. They really like it upstairs so we asked the waitress to have our drinks upstairs, and one of waitress mouthing that ‘we were just adding homework- in indonesian: nambah PR” to one of us. The drinks did come but it just ruined the atmosphere.
3. As breakfasting time come, we were going down through stairs- 2 levels. And we brought our own drinks down, however as we ordered quite a lot, i carried 1 perriere bottle, 2 glasses and one sugar cup. I managed to went one level, and to the next level, i asked one of the waitress if they had nearby lift, he said it’s closer by stairs and did nothing to help me with the drinks, only when i started climbed down, one waitress running to me and said ‘let me help you with the drink’.
The whole time there i didn’t see the staffs smiling. Usually in the nice place, staffs are super nice.
Btw, i have been to all Plataran Resto in Jakarta and also in Labuan Bajo, this is the only place with disappointing service.
Been here several times, always satisfied. Very value for money all you can eat. Meat is tender and choices of veggie and seafood are all fresh. Drink and dessert choices are also varied. They gave 105 minutes, so longer than other ayce, but within 1 hour, you will spend the rest of the time complaining how full you have been. The staff is super helpful, no matter how busy the place is, they are always in good manner. I recommend to take shabu shabu and the barbeque set, the standard one is already good. Kid will love the place, so many dessert for them.
Best shopping mall in Bandung. All fashions brand are here, H&M, Zara, Pull and Bear, M&S. I also like they have good selection for sport shoes. Building is bright, spacious, very easy to locate stores. And super added points are good resto inside and surround the mall.

My new fav Indo Chinese Resto. Had dimsum, roasted chicken and stirred veggie with chicken. All good. Food coming fast. Unfortunately they serve pork cuisine as well so they are not halal restaurant. The owner should think of opening no pork branch. Must be a hit.
Been here couple time but the best is sunday brunch. No need to explain more, just look at the photos. And if you have BCA credit card, you are lucky, as discount is offered.
