“ The taste of food is not really great, but still OK for Padang food. The rice there is little bit too soft, not suitable for padang food ”
“ When u find Simpang Raya Restaurant, simply trust them will provide u a pleasant dine-in experience ... Their food fantastic, strong minang atmosphere w/modern restaurant venue ”
“ Well no need explanation right? But personally for some menu like ayam pop, i prefer Sederhana, while for limpa and rendang I prefer Pagi Sore but I like dendeng balado here. Friendly staffs and good service, fast and responsive. Nice and clean place with big hall with AC for smoking while they put non smokers in the smaller room. Big parking space for car and motorcycle. The downside is only the location where u will feel reluctantly pass over the street because of the busy traffic jam especially during busy hours or Ramadhan like this. ”
