Here are some reviews and a reputation from Google Maps and social media! Please use them as a reference when you visit!
My kids love the fluffy egg, and the shrimp avocado with mayonnaise sauce. The only downside is that the drinks are a bit expensive. But the highball and chuhai had a good, strong flavor, which is much better than something cheap and tasteless.
I’ve been in Indonesia for a little over two years now. I’ve been here more than 50 times. Surprisingly, I’d never had the karaage (fried chicken), so I ordered it for the first time. EIGHT MAN has a lot of delicious menu items, so I never bothered with the karaage… but it was incredibly delicious. And I made a new discovery with the tomato ramen. There’s a curry dish you can order separately to change the flavor of the chicken paitan ramen. If you put this in the tomato ramen, it’s also exquisite!! You have to try this! (Highly recommended hot)
I had the chicken paitan champon noodles, and the noodles were chewy and very delicious. It was a little salty, but within an acceptable range. The champon and water cost about IDR 120,000.
A ramen izakaya behind Miu. It’s delicious. All the flavors are strong, but it’s recommended for those who like junk food. The natto lettuce wrap is recommended.
Everything is delicious, but personally, I like the champon the best.
Excellent Access! Drop by Eightman in Sudirman Easily
Eightman is located in the Summitmas I building on Sudirman Street, so access is excellent. Even if you’ve just arrived in Jakarta, you can get there without getting lost.
How to Get to Eightman
Taxi/Grab: Just tell them “Summitmas I” or “Eightman.”
Train: The nearest station is MRT Sudirman Station. It’s about a 5-minute walk from the station to Summitmas I. The large building is a landmark, so you’ll find it easily.
Sudirman Street has a lot of traffic, so be especially careful of congestion during the evening rush hour. Be sure to leave with plenty of time to spare.
Please note that “eightman” closed between lunch time and dinner time on weekdays.
A Relaxing Time at Eightman
The lively yet calm atmosphere of the restaurant feels just like being in a Japanese izakaya. Even a Japanese woman who has just arrived in Jakarta will surely be able to relax. It’s easy to enter alone, so it’s recommended for a quick ramen lunch or a leisurely dinner with delicious drinks and food. The polite service also gives a warm feeling, like a Japanese izakaya.
When you’re tired from the unfamiliarity of your new life in Jakarta, why not fill your heart and body at Eightman with delicious ramen and a warm atmosphere? It will surely become a special place for you.
