Ya Udah-Bistro

Last Friday, I went together with my colleagues for a dinner. One of them suggested “Ya Udah Bistro” which located in Central of Jakarta.

When we arrived around 5.30 pm, there were already several customers having their meals and most of them were expatriates. I was quite surprised that with the hot climate in Jakarta this Bistro has no air-conditioner at all.

The Roast Chicken is my favorite dish here, but we had to wait for 1 1/2 hours until the Roast Chicken was ready out of the grill. Anyway, it’s worthed Later on, I was informed that in case, we don’t want to wait for the Roast Chicken, we can pre-order it by phone first.

Festive of Life

This place is offering good quality of European food with reasonable price. The service has generally been impeccable, with cold towels to wipe away the street grime and sweat as you settle at your table.

As an international restaurant, they definitely has something for everybody. On the menus, European, Asian, as well as American foods are available. However, it is worth noted their German dishes stand out from the rest.

ke YA UDAH BISTRO aku kan kembali…..

Minggu siang kemaren bingung mau makan apa.  Mesti nganterin Ferri pula ke semifinal sepak bola.  Diputuskan untuk ke Ya Udah Bistro, soalnya dari mulai buka di kelapa gading, kita berdua baru satu kali ke sana.  Seringkali niatnya dari rumah ke Ya Udah, ditengah jalan belok ke tempat makan lain.

Sejak berada di Kelapa Gading, ‘Ya Udah’ jadi sepi pengunjung.  Setiap kali lewat dan melirik, paling 1-3 orang di dalam.  Ga seperti waktu masih di jalan Jaksa.  Ga tau kenapa, padahal tempat makan di sepanjang jalan boulevard ini hampir-hampir ga pernah sepi pengunjung.  Kalo kata waitress nya sih, ada beberapa pengunjung yang ada bilang makanan di sana kurang ’rasa’.   Mungkin karena pengunjung yang ada selera Indonesianya kuat banget.  Masakan Indonesia kan kaya rasa, kalo mengharapkannya di ’Ya Udah’ pasti ga dapet, karena di sini kan lebih plain dan tepat buat bule-bule.

An Eulogy for Ya ‘Udah

In common with most people I had long thought it impossible to turn a silk purse into a sow’s ear. Now I know otherwise. When the peerless Jalan Jaksa emporium ‘Ya-Udah Bistro’ closed its doors last weekend that was bad enough but the scuttlebutt now has it* that the premises will become a…karaoke bar! Pass the spittoon, would you!

I was the very first customer through the gate just under seven years ago and the last one out. I can safely say I have been its most frequent visitor, even allowing for four months medical treatment in the UK three and a bit years ago. That, I think, qualifies me to make a few comments.

Owner  is a Swiss from Zurich in which city he once ran a British-style pub. He once also worked for Swissair. He knows all about catering, a field in which the Swiss excel and down the years it showed.

Ya Udah Bistro Reviews

This german bistro is renowned to have great dishes come in very decent prices.
This place was a star in Jalan Jaksa – or famous as backpacker area in Jakarta, then moved to Kelapa Gading area in east part of Jakarta and now thy move back closer to their origin, which is 1 block away from Jalan Jaksa, in a quiet part of the area. A bit difficult to describe its location abut once you had a good grip of the direction it will be ok and more over – when you know that the trouble to reach this place worth the food you’ll get!. This place serves a lot of choice of menus with some special breakfast menu and one off promotion.

Several German sausages selection accompanied with several side dishes of your choices – fried fries, mashed potato, boiled, hash brown or pastas. If you don’t fancy any pork products they also have several selections of beef and chicken as well as pasta dishes and a couple of Indonesian food menu.
