Too Many Side Dishes! The Perfect Accompaniments for Drinks

Besides ramen, the side menu is also a charm of Eightman. It’s also recommended to enjoy various menu items little by little with drinks. There is a rich lineup of dishes popular with women, such as healthy salads and edamame.

Fluffy Nagaimo and Melted Cheese on a Teppan

Served on a sizzling teppan, the “Fluffy Nagaimo and Melted Cheese” is a delightful harmony of the fluffy texture of nagaimo (mountain yam) and rich, melted cheese. The fragrant grilled marks are appetizing, and the flavor that spreads with each bite is an irresistible masterpiece.

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.
