What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Apollo Restaurant is lauded for its delicious Chinese cuisine, particularly its tender roast meats and elegant presentation. Diners appreciate the cozy ambiance and unique beverage offerings, though some feel portion sizes could be more generous for the price. The restaurant's intimate setting makes it a popular choice, but booking ahead is essential.
"Overall the foods are nice, especially the roast meats and the soup with crispy rice. On the roasted meats, unfortunately the honey glazed char siew had too much fats. We just knew from the waiter that this could be personally requested, but I think the waiter generally should have asked as a standard query, rather than guests only found out after the fact.
Price is rather on the high side, but they were generally quite tasty."

Great place for family & friends dining place.
Keep up the quality.

"I LOVE this place. The foods (especially the BBQ ones) were delicious and presented well. Beverages were also various and entertaining. They have special blend tea by Ratna Somantri, the best tea sommelier in Indonesia ❤️ They are currently collaborating with Teazii for shaved ice which is lovely.
Eventhough it is located in office building, the interior and vibe was cozy and warm. The staffs were friendly and catering our needs.
I totally recommend this place if you are looking for delightful chinese cuisine with hearty vibe."
