“ they sell soto boyolali, where you can choose the protein between chicken and beef. the soup is clear but it's really tasty, full of flavor from the meat. you can choose the rice to be separated or mixed inside the soup. the portion is not too big but good enough to make you full. don't forget to try the side dishes too. you can pick them by yourself. the side dishes vary from fried tofu, fritters, chicken skewers, and many more. they're all good to eat with the soto. this place also has a second floor, although it's not too large. it doesn't have air con so this place is usually hot to dine in. ”
“ SSB is a hidden gem for those who love authentic Indonesian flavors. Their signature dishes—sate paru (beef lung satay), sate ayam (chicken satay), and perkedel (potato fritters)—are all incredibly delicious and worth trying. The sate paru is tender and packed with bold, savory spices, making it a unique and flavorful experience. The sate ayam is juicy and grilled to perfection, with just the right amount of smokiness and a rich, tasty marinade. The perkedel is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, providing the perfect balance of texture and taste. With great flavors, generous portions, and a cozy dining atmosphere, SSB is a fantastic place to enjoy traditional Indonesian comfort food. Whether you’re dining with family or friends, this spot is definitely worth a visit! ”
“ SSB Spesial Soto Boyolali is a great spot to start your day with a delicious chicken soto, paired with a variety of fried snacks (gorengan). The prices are quite affordable, especially for Jakarta standards, making it a good value for breakfast. However, the parking area is a bit limited. ”
“ Original soto Boyolali in Jakarta, provide chicken soto or meat I my self prefer beef soto. While u eat you can combine the soto with so many fried food like bala-bala, tofu, tempe, otak-otak, paru and punyu egg. No worries about the price is really cheap under 10k each. But you might have to consider if you want to go there at lunch time or in the weekend because will be so crowded. For the owner probably should remind to provide a bigger and cozy place. The cleanliness should be improve to be better. First come first service with fast respond is the good one. ”
“ The place is not that large, and not air-conditioned. The seatings are also limited; two 5 people benches for a table. The soto however is very good, and the prices are cheap! For me, the heroes are the sidedishes: tempe mendoan, tahu isi, sate paru, sate otak, sate cingur. ”
