Excellent value - Edit
Had a great, filling meal here which was excellent value. The owner was really lovely, we had a great chat while I was selecting my options and eating. Had hoped to visit again but ended up not being in the area again before departing. Definitely recommend and would have gone again if staying closer.

Delicious food, lovely owner! - Edit
Had lunch here and got to try a lot of traditional Indonesian dishes with mock meat, as well as some delicious veggies and tempeh. Such a wonderful array of flavors! What's more, the owner, Handi, is a really I sweet and interesting guy who sat down with me while I ate as it was the end of the afternoon. He is really passionate about his restaurant and you can tell! I will definitely come back next time I'm in Jakarta!!

This place has the most amazing vegan food. I am usually not a big fan of meat substitutes, but everything in this place tasted amazing! If you are ever in Jakarta, do not miss a chance to try it. It was the best vegan food I had in the whole Java! Also, the owner is the loveliest person you can meet, that seemed so happy and just radiated happiness all the time. Thanks a lot!

Cute hidden restaurant, must see! - Edit
The food is homemade by the owner and his wife. Everything was very delicious and the owner loves to talk to you. He knows about happycow and loves when tourists visit. He and his family are vegan themselves and even have cute t-shirts which say vegan and peace etc.

Oh wow! - Edit
Finding this small place felt so good after wandering through the market filled with dead animals. The owner was super nice. He speaks good English and we ended up talking for quite a while about veganism, volcanoes and the meaning of life😄Great food, just let him set up a plate with a bit of everything, you won’t be disappointed. IDR 50.000 for a big plate of yummy food.

Best vegan food in town! - Edit
Going to this little and well hidden gem of a restaurant is always a special thing to me. Not only are the 100% vegan dishes certainly among the best that I've ever tried, you also get to enjoy the unique atmosphere in the narrow alleys of Glodok. The lovely owner will make sure that you leave full and happier than before, always carrying a big smile on his face. You can't help but be happy in this place. But be quick, many items will be sold out by afternoon ;)

It was such a delight to eat here. The owner is so welcoming and caring. He served us delicious food like a tapas, so we could share and taste all of it together. It was very tasty and healthy. Highly recommended to eat here. Also great to go for a little stroll around China town afterwards.

I found this streetfood on happy cow and it was the closest to my hostel, so I went there. Handy, the owner, is really nice and his food is just delicious. Everyday he has something new and always try’s to help you out. Also it is located in a nice alley in Chinatown. Definitely worth to go there

Best Vegan Chinese Food - Edit
Quite simply the best Chinese Vegan food I have ever tasted and cheap as chips! It took me a while to find it, having had to ask locals but it was well worth the effort. I went for lunch but ended up taking away some for dinner as well. I wish I had taken more for my train ride th next day as well. The owner had very good English and was very knowledgeable. We had a very entertaining conversation about current affairs especially climate change!

Regular customer - Edit
Since stumbling upon this place a couple of years ago and quickly realising the owners' daughter was a work friend of mine, I've become a regular and drop in every week or so for a hearty plate of food and a good chat.
Read moreThe food is delicious and comes in big portions. I also love the location in the heart of Jakarta's Chinatown; a fascinating place! Most of all it's the friendliness and hospitality that keep me coming and the owner even took me to an awesome local festival once which I won't forget.
A unique place, not to be missed!!

Amazing food - Edit
I saw this place on a video by Mark Weins, and knew I wanted to try it. It's absolutely amazing! I'm not a vegetarian, and this food was so tasty. It has a very meat-like texture, and hard to believe it's not. The owner is lovely, and so proud of the food he makes with his wife. Worth a visit for sure!

A lovely late lunch - Edit
Following a meandering stroll around the back streets of China Town I at last found this place (quite easily once I concluded that the tiny alley was where i was meant to be) just as Handi appeared to be closing up (due to road works). However, as he is lovely and saw my - but I wanted to eat here - look of dismay, he welcomed me in, assuring me (in very good English) that it was still possible to be served. I am very glad he did as both the meal and Chinese tea were delicious. Vegan as expected and nicely flavoured with varying degrees of spice (he did warn me which would be hotter) but none to such a degree that some rice and tea weren't suffice to restore tastebuds. In all a lovely meal made more enjoyable by Handi's company. My only warning would be that he appeared to be 'running out' of food by about 3 so worth visiting earlier in the day.

Great food, great atmosphere - Edit
My friend and I visited Koh Handi's stall out of curiosity after watching a review on his food stall on Youtube. It was a little hard to find as the avenue the stall in does not have clear street signs, but it was worth it when we finally found it.
Read moreKoh Handy is a warm and friendly man, and he engaged us in a talk about many things throughout our visit there. He also explained each food served, what it would taste like and what it made of. Foreign visitors will not be hard to converse with him to know more about the food and stuffs as he speaks good English.
Would definitely come back!
Pros: Nice owner, Delicious food
Cons: A little hard to find
