GIOI

The ambience is good. Not great but good. The food is also good but not amaze me so much. The waitress and staff are very nice and friendly. They can give you recommendation to meet your taste. I expected so much for the food but turns out it didn’t amaze me so much. But of course you should try this place to have brunch.

Fantastic!!! If you are traveling to Jakarta and keen to try good quality/fusion Indonesian/Asian food, then this is the place to go. The place is hip and the atmosphere is perfect to hang out with friends. Order the fried duck, amazing!!

Their Crispy Duck and Crying Tiger were the star of my family lunch. Tried the Salmon Lodeh as well, it was quite good but nothing compares to the Duck u0026 Beef, it’s super tasty!

Great ambiance, friendly staff, well lit dining area (some of it) and super colorful interior design (perfect for pictures lol).

Overall, it was a nice experience, definitely will come back :)

GIOI is a fusion done right. A very nice sitting down restaurant for family or business meetings alike, GIOI offers a variety of Vietnamese fusion dishes. I’d highly recommend their crispy pork salad, crispy duck feast, pork neck, salmon lodeh. Just like its namesake, the food is really is well done. The only downside is the price.

Came here for anniversary dinner. The lower ground area is for dining - ambience is cozy. Upstairs is meant for live music - couldn’t really see the interior because it was dark - but lots of leafy greens.

The menu is Asian fusion. We ordered Salt and Pepper Tofu for appetizer, Salmon Lodeh, Beef dish (forgot the name), Kecombrang Rice and Pandan Lava for dessert.

All the food was delicious. The Rice Kecombrang was fragrant and tasty, the beef was tender, the salmon lodeh was savoury and love the tofu. We wanted to try Es Teler Flambe but unfortunately the kitchen was out of it so we tried Pandan Lava - pretty good too.

The service was great - staffs are friendly, helpful and on their toes. Price was on the upscale side but it’s okay because of the taste. Will return to try other dishes.

All 4 dishes that my parents and I ordered were impeccable. The dessert I ordered for the table, GIOI's black rice pudding with mango compote and spiced mango ice cream, got a unanimous compliment as well. For the entree, we ordered: GIOI's signature crispy duck (half) with kecombrang rice, crispy pork belly with fresh salad, soft shell crab with two buns, and kailan pork belly.

The crispy pork belly with the fresh salad really stands out because it's a very balanced dish. The acidity in the salad really helps reduce the richness of the pork belly. If anything, you have to eat it quickly or the skin could be chewy/tough when cold. The duck IS super crispy, the rice is super good with the kecombrang added to it. It is again a very balanced dish. I also ordered a cocktail but it's nothing special --maybe I should try a different one.

I docked ONE star for hygiene and sanitation. My mother ordered a chamomile hot tea and she didn't notice until half way thru the tea that there's A DEAD BUG inside the pot. It was bad. We're hoping it's not a cockroach or a fly. Either way, a bug can carry diseases. However, the manager replaced the tea with a new one, took it out of our order and gave the table a 10% discount. If I were him, I would've offered my guests a free lunch for the next visit but it's still a nice gesture :). Anyway, this is my first time ever to visit GIOI and I will be back :).

Excellent Asian fusion restaurant with just the right amount of south east Asian mixed flair to satisfy even foreign palates. Service is also top notch.
