Gado-Gado Bon-Bin

A taste from the past: Eating here feels like stepping back in time. The gado-gado is delicious, the nasi rames is excellent, and the noodles have that distinctive traditional village style—thin, savory, with a fresh, flavorful broth. Overall, it’s outstanding 👍. Just as good as it used to be. Consistently great.

One of Gado2 legends in Jakarta which we have read many reviews and finally we had a chance to visit today. We arrived around 11.30am and the place was packed and we can hear online orders pinging on the phone also. We waited about 10 minutes to get a table. The restaurant was not big but somehow some groups were just incredibly thoughtless. They just hang around and had meetings and chit chat on the tables, forgot to consider other patrons who were waiting in line for tables. Anyway. The gado2 lontong was fenomenal. Freshly blanched veggies. The lontong (rice cake) was homemade, smooth, fragrant from banana leaf and just the right density. Their gado2 was gado2 siram type with typical smooth peanut sauce. A mixture of flavors, enough saltiness, a little bit of sourness, and enough sweetness. Just right. Lontong Cap Goh Meh was also yummy. The gravy was not thick which gave a light feeling when you eat it. Served by Om and Tante who were very friendly, attentive and efficient. No wonder they still exist until today. Well done!

This place is one of the original Gado-Gado spots in Jakarta, serving since the 1960s. The standout for me was the lontong—soft, chewy, and perfectly textured. The vegetables were also well-prepared, with just the right balance of crunch and freshness. However, the peanut sauce didn’t quite hit the mark for my taste. It leaned heavily on the sweet side, which muted the nuttiness and umami I usually look for. Still, overall, it was a decent plate of Gado-Gado.

We tried the Gado2 (mixed salads with peanut sauce). It was good. The old school type of gado2. Should try it if you’re around Cikini area in Jakarta

Lovely taste ❤️ Everything blends smoothly. Good choices and proportion of the vegetables, not too much cabbage, and for me it's just the right serving portion, not too big and doesn't make you too full. Reminds me of my mom's gado-gado at home, siram and uses emping and shrimp crackers. The optional chili sauce has a touch of oriental. The flavor is closer to Javanese Chinese style gado-gado rather than a Batavian Chinese like Cemara. Feels close with the one I had at Rumah Makan Putri at Ciranjang.
