JINSEKI Japanese Restaurant - Penuin in Riau Islands

"Food was great and comforting. I’d personally recommend the original tonkotsu ramen. If you can handle a bit of spice, try mixing in their chili oil—it gives the soup a nice kick and a unique flavor. The atmosphere was lovely, the restaurant was spotless, and the staff were incredibly friendly and polite, which made the experience even better. Would definitely be back again!"

"- not too crowded which is good, i like it - tonkotsu ramen : noodles looks like handmade, not sure. Broth is very rich, as you finished your ramen, you can see how thick the last drop of the broth. Pork slice taste good, not the best. Boiled egg normal. Definitely will come again for this. - gyoza : not some common cheap gyoza, filled with pork and prawn, wrapped correctly so the fill is not easy to burst messy."

"Our hotel was nearby, we randomly found this Japanese restaurant. The exterior Japanese layout of the restaurant had caught our eyes. We were greeted by the staffs when we entered the restaurant. The wooden decor let you felt like you are in Japan. We had the tonkatsu ramen which is their signature, the broth was cooked for 8 hours. The soup was not too salty nor too thick as I had finished the soup. The meat was tender and onsen egg with flowing egg York. Caesar salad was fresh with balsamic vinegar sauce. Fish and chip was crispy with sweet potatoes fries. We had sake which is smooth but the price was at the high side. Overall, the price was quite affordable for the food and service provided."

"The food is really delicious, and the staff very welcoming. The place is cozy and beautifully designed. Good place to have meals and hang out with friends/family. Will definitely come back. Recommended!"

"So happy Jinseki is in Baloi now! The ramen is always on point, and that broth—love it so much! Congrats!!"

"I had the black garlic tonkotsu ramen. The noodles remained springy and did not turn soggy even after a long while. The soup was just nice, not too salty. With the generous serving of chashu and one marinated egg, it was fantastic value for money. Service was great, nice ambience, decor and music. I will definitely return to try more dishes."
