“ A very very very good soto with affordable price. They are in a very small house, but definitely can serve your group. The soto is very generous with the fillings and meat. ”
“ As a local tourist, i like this Soto Paru the most during my Padang trip. I taste not too salty yet still savoury and umami. Portion is generous and Perkedel is best. ”
“ Delicious and wholesome Soto for a mere 17k! While the dish have nothing to complain about, the staff do. They could definitely use some smile since they look at me as if I owe them money >< I wished they plate the soto in a bowl instead of a shallow plate; it felt weird eating a soup from a plate Tons of hungry mosquitoes that is trying to have a meal while I’m having mine. I ended up going home with 3 mosquito welt on my hand and arm Nevertheless the place is relatively clean with washbasin within an arms reach and location that is pretty easy to reach and find ”
“ Great taste n experience. Walking from truntum hotel to have this soupy spicy dish ”
“ Recommended by our local friend so we decided to give it a try for breakfast. Turned out it exceeded our expectation! I think their 'paru goreng' in their soto is one of the best I ever tasted. The portion is just right, the soup tasted light, a bit spicy for my taste bud, but very tasty! It can get quite packed during meal time but the store itself is 2 stories so you might still find place to sit. We paid 32k for 1 portion of 'soto campur (daging+paru)', 1 portion of 'soto daging', and 1 potato patties, which we considered very affordable for what we got. ”
