Very good tuna with strong, punchy flavor. The access is excellent with abundant parking spaces. Minimal to none wait time even amidst lunchtime. Many (cute) cats await for scraps.

The rahang tuna here is surprisingly tasty and flavorful, the soup is refreshing and delicious, I really enjoyed my experience. The portions are a good size for each menu item, and the chili paste is wonderfully spicy. The seating area is decent, nothing fancy, and there's plenty of parking.

The Best Tuna Jaw in Manado! An Absolute Must-Try! This spot is mandatory for any seafood lover visiting Manado! The Grilled Tuna Jaw (Rahang Tuna Bakar) here is truly legendary and deserves every bit of high praise it receives. What makes this place special: • Fish Quality: The tuna jaw is incredibly fresh, the meat is thick, and exceptionally juicy. The grilling is done perfectly, resulting in slightly crispy skin while keeping the inside tender. • Secret Seasoning: The spices are perfectly absorbed, delivering a savory, slightly sweet flavor and a distinctive smoky aroma. • Dabu-Dabu Chili Sauce: Eating tuna is incomplete without the fresh, classic Manado Dabu-Dabu sambal. Their sauce has the right amount of heat and is wonderfully fresh, truly elevating the flavor of the fish! • Atmosphere: The place is simple, with the main focus clearly on the food quality. Service is quick and friendly. Although the location can be busy, the dining experience is well worth it. The portion sizes are generous, great for sharing. If you are looking for an authentic taste of Manado, specifically an unbeatable tuna jaw dish, you absolutely must come here!

Been here accidentally but it is a fortune. They served a tasteful Tuna jaw. We ordered with Dabu and Matah sambal. Great pair! But be aware that the spicy level may need to be anticipated. They grilled the jaw well and the meat is tender and juicy. The place is 75% outdoor seating and semi outdoor (AC in open room). Located in front of military Yon Arhanud 3 homebase. Parking available with limited slots. If you love eating tuna’s jaw dishes, visit this place while you are visiting Bandung.

First time eating tuna's jaw. And no wonder tuna is one of the high-value commodities of the sea. Only a part of the jaw, you'll get a meat portion equal to one freshwater fish! You also don't need to worry about the hidden fishbone, thanks to its large, firm bone structure, so it's also recommended for children.
