I love the taste of the food. They have chinese Vegan food. The restaurant is now being renovated to be able to compete with newcomers. Definitely not for guests who are looking for an Instagramable restaurant, it only for a good food and good price and looking for a big venue.
The food is good, but not best. Pricey enough. One menu for S portion is enough up to 5 people. The place needs renovation so young people are interested to came here.
Old-style Chinese cuisine that dates back to 1952 is served in this restaurant.
Several of the food items are their best, including Widodo fried rice and Kolobak, a sweet and sour deep-fried pork dish.
There is parking available in the basement with an elevator serving all floors up to level three.
food was okay.

however the service is terrible. came here to celebrate birthday with 10 ppl. so we took initiative to take order by name. eg:
jedd : chicken wing 1, enoki foil 1, pork 1
zara : sausage 1, chicken 1

in the end, they mixed all the menu together. even worse, they cant differentiate which one is pork and which one is chicken. so all the order get mixed up.

i even had to see the order list by myself and check one by one because they do not bother checking it for us. they also do not know which menu already served and not.

attached are photos that i took for me to list the order.

took more than 1 hour to get all of our food served.

worst part: the manager did not even say sorry but defending herself “because we do not have enough team”
poor management.

The food taste great. Always like to eat here,but due to the limited seat, need to reserve first. The food never fails. Even kids like it.
My friend said that this is the most complete service for Chinese wedding; low prices, full package.

Thinking to hold your wedding in Surabaya? Kapin Restaurant is the best choice for you.

Thank you for the experience.
Keep it up! Especially the taste of the food.
One of the old traditionalist Chinese restaurants in Surabaya. Went back from when I was young.
Traditional Chinese food with my favorite: fried pidgeon.
The place is extremely clean! Toilet, kitchen (which I mistakenly enter, before finding the main door) not just the dining area.
Impressive given the old area.

One of the few finest Chinese Restaurant in Surabaya in my opinion.

They used to operate at smaller building next to the current building. It was always full and then they were expanding and built 2 storey building restaurant which now used as their main restaurant. 2nd storey is a big hall to held a party such as marriage ceremony. Elevator is available.

The first building actually still can be used but not as daily operation.

Tastewise, it is classy, it is smooth, it is tasty, it is delicious.
Especially their DimSum.. love it!
Their Chicken Feet DimSum is just simply topnotch.

Pricewise, how to say it.. it is not cheap but it is worth it.
Staff attendees are fast and very responsive.

Have been a regular customer since their first restaurant opened.
Actually its one of the best chinese food compared to other legends. The taste ga berubah

A very small restaurant.
The 2nd floor is still under renovation.
1st floor only has below 10 table capacity.
AC quite good, music Ok, not too loud.
Serving time too long

Went here with my son, no one else but us in the resto. Order 2 dishes, first dish was great, but after waiting 40 minutes, I decided to cancel the signature burung dara. So ridiculous, worst service ever

Was ok food with high price. Probably will not come here again next time
One of the better Chinese hakka restaurant in surabaya, with authentic hakka taste at a reasonable price. Food is tasty, portion is reasonable for a family of 5. Be sure to order the all menu (salt baked chicken) quarter of a size will get everyone a taste but a luxury serving will be half a chicken. Go for the pork belly mui vegetables with bun and the meat are tender and juicy. The place are quite calm with better facilities (wifi,parking, toilet,etc)Price of menu are average 100idr and reasonably price with the food quality and atmosphere.
When I remember Moi, i remember the ITC , at0m m4l too

Be sure to order the ayam garam (salt baked chicken) quarter of a size will get everyone a taste but a luxury serving will be half a chicken. Go for the pork belly mui vegetables with bun and the meat are tender and juicy. We went for the soft shell crab too which is a signature dish on its own. Price wise is between 100k to 180k per dish, very reasonably price with the food quality and atmosphere.
Go try it for yourself.

Always good

So many times eat in here

Never disappointed
Good food, good prices, but when it is crowded it would be very very noisy as people talk with their max volume hahahaha.

The server is handy and quite helpful if you require something.
You could book in advance but don't be late!
There is a private room with a minimum of 10 tables (100 people) I think at the 2nd floor.
Enjoy the photos!
Legendary Chinese Restaurants in surabaya. Many rare old menus. Must try dish is Koloke. Recommended dish is Hay Hap.

Delivery :
1. nasi goreng widodo
A lot of crab meat, but lack of other things. Taste was bland. The most expensive nasi goreng I’ve ever had.
2. Nasi goreng special.
Lack of toppings and taste also bland.

Food is always great, up to standard. Restaurant is renovated, staff is friendly and helpful.
Ming Garden is famous as one of legit Chinese food restaurant in town since years ago. The price is on the high range but it is a restaurant so understandable. They offer various Dimsum menu. You can book VIP rooms for small group. I believe there are lots of delicious menu. But try the kolobak, it's delicious. The shrimp in the bamboo is also amazing. A bit of input: please improve the xiao long bao quality, it's not the proper xiailongbao without the broth pops, and the skin is too thick. Overall is good for sure.

The place was small and private, somehow it looks like old classic Chinese kind of resto, but the main thing here is the menu have lot of variants, the menu served on large portion since this place is famous for group meals occasions.

Even the price was bit pricey but its total worth for the taste.

Pro Tips : If you're fried rice maniac, you should try Nasi Goreng Widodo, it's kind of shrimp fried rice buat have really original signature taste.

Kapin is one of the best Cantonese restaurants in Surabaya. The ambience is excellent, including the food. The service is also top-tier. If you're looking to spend time with your family, whether it's during weekend or for special occassion, then look no further. Kapin is the place for you.

Old school chinese restaurant !! Good food 😊
Love the fried pigeon the most, especially when it's fresh from the kitchen.
Many event usually held here (engangement, wedding, even exhibition). The facilities give the value plus to customer from large parking, high quality menu, toilet, many hall (customer can choose it, depend on the budget) And the most important is strategic location . Surely, this place still need improvement to make comfortable
great photo and r3v1ew & i got reference
Hakka cuisine, or Kuhchia cuisine, is the cooking style of the Hakka people, who originated in the southeastern Chinese provinces of Guangdong and Fujian, but may also be found in other parts of China
The facilities are good such as AC , parking, toilet, dining table. The menu are also tasty and make me enjoyable this moment
as we know, this one of the branch of the Moi Garden Restaurant, which serves Chinese food, Hakka Cuisine to be specific. After their first restaurant was opened in Eastern Surabaya, their branch is located in the western part of East Java and the name is moi village
Well it's recomended to make the important event and big event because the facilities, menu, place are good
moe is one of the best resto
b1ma , zhang, also the good choice too
what a beauty moment at moi with the family and partner also frenz

This is no-pork Chinese Food restaurant.
Try their ifumie, gurami saos Padang, sapo tahu seafood and ayam wijen.
Overall, yummy taste and suit our appetite with highlight on their gurami and chicken.
Cozy interior ambience and atmosphere.
The service was also as good as restaurant standard.
However, related to the portion and the price, it’s quiet imbalanced.
Best satay/shaokao!!
1 of my favourite chinese resto on repeat.
Their satay herbs is the best especially chicken wings.
Other dishes are also very nice especially the chilli fish (better preorder) and stirfry pork with potato
Great food taste.
Huge ballroom.
Karaoke is available while having dinner.
Waiters and waitresses are always ready to assist.

The food is delicious, the portions are large, the prices are cheap compared to similar restaurants
A good chinese restaurant, delicious food, reasonable price. A good place to make a party. Quite private.
Heard this place from their advertisement on Radio.

The place not too big and fancy. Just like the other Chinese restaurant. Parking not too hard as well. AC temperature set cold enough.

Food quality quite good. I would recommend this place for the taste. Nasi Goreng Yang Chou well cooked, only a lil bit dry. Pangsit Mie is highly recommended.

Service on the other hand is really poor. I dunno whether it was weekend and a lil bit crowded (it was 70% occupied when I dine in) or the service was awful. I came second in line amongst 5 families in total. I ordered in order butttt the 3rd and 4th company got their food served before mine served. But yeah maybe they do pre-order before coming to the resto.

Anyway, maybe and hopefully their service better on weekday, or you could just do take away or online delivery.
Such an authentic cuisine to try, nice food and close to my house as well, good service! ☺️

An old taste Chinese restaurant. I seldom come here since Junior high school.

Still maintain old taste until now. It is not strong taste in the good way, it is not bland but yet delicious.
Portion quiet big, suitable for family.

Parking lot ok, dining area quiet big and quiet cozy.
Floor could be cleaner anyway.

Will I comeback? For sure...
Moi village is a hakka Chinese restaurant in Surabaya. Opens at 17.30 PM. I saw many people on queue to wait for it opens. Taste of foods are so nice and yummy, so I have happy tummy when I'm eating there.

Had a family lunch here, the restaurant was quite packed so the manager suggested us to take the 2nd level restaurant. The restaurant ambience is like ordinary chinese ballroom.

They served many variants for dimsum and they tasted quite delicious. Their main course were also quite delicious eventhough they were pricey for the small portion. Don’t hesitate to ask for the price of menu as they don’t have price list on their book menu especially for the beverages.

Need some improvement in the service area. We ordered additional white rices that only served after all the food was finished. Also, some of the food was served after we asked for it over and over again.

Chinese food restorant, the location is in the middle of Surabaya town, the taste is good and the price is worth it. You can book a table before or directly come to dine in. They have package menu of table and separate menu. If you need music or sing a song , you can get it free.

Really nice foods, if you want to eat old style chinese foods, this place is best choice, just hope the place is bigger so we dont need to sit near other people..
This ifumie is so great, kids really like it. And kolobak always my favourite since I was small.

It's an okay place to enjoy Chinese food. The food tasted good enough, nothing spectacular, some too oily. They used common ingredients and old recipe for each dish. The environment felt old, furniture and decoration placement looked a little messy.

This place has been around since the 1950s hence it is quite famous for generations.
Serving tasty Chinese food and high-quality seafood produce is something unique to try.
The sweet-sour pork (KoLoBak) is the highlight here and also the special Fried rice is perfectly made 👍.
So far the taste is still top-notch quality.

Good food especially to have breakfast with family.. They have a lot of dim sum and chinese food. Don't worry because they have 40% off for dimsum and 30% off for chinese food if you have BCA credit card or priority BCA debit card.. The chongfan menu only available on Saturday and Sunday.

Good taste with nice clean area. Parking not hard and there is bunch of menu we can order. Free tea also.. but if you look for soju or beer yes they also sell that..

Price kinda bit pricey but its worth for occasionally hangout or relax visit. They also use thermo gun to check..

Delicious authentic oldies Chinatown of Surabaya. Mixed Chinese + Indonesian fusion style food. The best favorite is fried pigeon & Tamie capchay & pork steak, pangsit goreng.
Hay Hap very Delicious...
This is The Best Hakka resto in town in my opinion. For me, all the foods here are very tasty. The most I like are mapo tofu and Babi hong with mantao. The ambience are bright, clean and fresh. I celebrated my daughter's birthday here and we are satisfied with the taste of the food. This resto also has a quite big parking area. It worth to try the food here.
Authentic Chinese food.. Nasi goreng widodo is the signature food here.. must try
One of the best Chinese restaurant in Surabaya. The food is good and the service is great. Very good for large group of people because the portion is big. Very recommended.

Kapin Restaurant can be regarded as legendary Chinese Restaurant in Surabaya. Their famous item is Nasi Goreng Widodo. Fried Rice with plenty of crab toppings.

Their Burung Dara, Ifumi are less tasty compared to the rest.

An old school chinese restaurant that's well known among the locals. I would absolutely recommend ordering Burung Dara, Sayur Asin Soup, and Kungpao Chicken. Good luck with the parking though, it's quite packed during lunch/dinner and there are not a lot of available parking spots.
Good place to eat and drink. The restaurant is indoor and air conditioned, so it's more comfortable here. They have a non smoking floor at ground level and a smoking floor at the 2nd level. They served chinese cuisines. The foods here are good, with reasonable prices. They also serve beers here, like most places in Loop.
Popular old style Chinese food in Surabaya with affordable price and great service. If you want to eat here during weekend, make sure you come early (otherwise it will be crowded).

I came here almost everyday when I was little. I'm quite surprised this place still exists until now. The food is great, but I warn you that the price is very expensive for street food. Fried pigeon, Koloke, and Fried rice are absolutely recommended. Casual outdoor place, not too clean. Located on leftside just before the split between Gemblongan & Baliwerti.

This Chinese restaurant in Surabaya was one of the few restaurants in Indonesia that had minimal touch of seasonings. However, this could also mean that it has no commercial taste to them – which explains us being the only occupied table during Friday dinner time. My favorite menus were beef and shrimp.

The food is delicious 👍👍
The waiters are warm and helpful. They can be asked for distributing the food on the table.
The parking area is limited, but they provide valet parking service. So, we don't need to worry if the parking lot is already full.
The interior adopts old-style room design, and this place is mantained clean by the staffs. Overall, this place is nice enough

Such a proper Chinese food restaurant, good for occations as well as a reguler dining. A great cantonese taste of dishes with a moderate price and good portion.

This restaurant has a huge parking area, completed with toilets and wifi. It also has a spacious dining area with plenty of seats in 2nd and 3rd floors. VIP rooms are also available that required a reservation in advanced.
Nasi Goreng Widodo quiet Good.. Small Place, designed for family .. The Price = quite expensive

Came here during breakfast-lunch time and it was fully crowded. Most of the people ordered dimsum as it was their specialty. And they also have promotion 50% discount using Credit Card BCA everyday. The prawn cheong fan are my favourite. Love the atmosphere as it's suitable for families. This place is non-halal as they served pork dimsum.

Recomend for delicious fried pigeon. Soft & taste even price not too cheap 100 thsd for a portion. Place only on the side walk of street next to BRI bank.
If rain season will be in trouble.
Just one simple statement :
The best deep fried pigeon in the world.

Might be an over statement, but I dare you people to give it a try and see if you ever find any other place which offer better deep fried pigoen (chinese food)

In general, all of their menus are yummy, delicious and oily.
Almost all of the dished here are in a great taste. Considered as an old chinese food restaurant, people come here usually for the signature dish which is fried pigeon. It was a hit. Juicy, salty, not smelly, and no other restaurant in town can beat this.

This place is not as big as the one in Mayjend. However, it has the same crowd. It is completed with high chair but not a wifi service. The price us fair, compare to the taste and the portion.

I recommend not to eat here alone to be able to try more than one delicious dishes. For the beverages, try their es jeruk, it is so refreshing.

Sometimes its okay, sometimes its bad. Today's was extremely bad, everything we ordered were super salty. Their foods is simply salty, no umame, no kicks whatsoever that makes you want to eat more. You eat most of it because it would be a waste considering their hefty pricetag.

Not sure why their crab fried rice is being so proudly displayed and recommended when it is just a salty brown rice with some brown crab meat. This place is very popular with older generations as their taste buds are no longer as sensitive as they used to.

Their soup was salty, salt and pepper chicken was salty and horrible (they actually messed up a fried chicken), stuffed mushroom was like the cheap meatballs you tried to get from the roadside that consists mostly of tapioca flour and corn starch to make it chewy and gives the impression that it has alot of meat.

There are many other old but gold chinese restaurants in town that serves food with similar styles and pricing but does not leave you with a headache and super thirsty throat by the end of the day.

Service 3.5*/5*
Food taste 1.5*/5*
Price 1.5*/5*

Overall i am rating this place a sad frowny face :[
Excellent food. Tried shark's fin and nasi goreng (fried rice). Nice with the 50% discount promotion.
This place has been opened for a long time and yet still consistent in flavor. Their best dish is the fried pigeon. It is the best in town. The pigeon is crispy on the skin but the meat is moist. The fried rice is also a favorite.

The restaurant is always crowded and very busy so parking is a challenge. The service can be better especially at the cashier when the young owner is sometimes a bit moody.
An old chinese restaurant but the taste is very authentic and delicious... it is famous with its shark fin.. you can find the best shark fin food with affordable price here
When you came here is not for the hygiene nor the service good price or the convenience parking spot. With all that been said, this restaurant is actually a good chinese restaurant. The only reason I give three star is because the taste. A good traditional unique taste. That's is the only thing saving this restaurant from bankruptcy. Really, hygiene? not so good, toilet? Terrible, the services is also horrible, you can possibly get your appetizers last if you didn't request to be ready before the main course fyi, price? Too high fir place like this.
It's taste OK but expensive
