Why Locals Love Ayam Goreng Pemuda Surabaya - Ahmad Dahlan
Located in the heart of Gandaria Utara, Ayam Goreng Pemuda Surabaya - Ahmad Dahlan brings the beloved flavors of Surabaya’s traditional fried chicken right to Jakarta. Specializing in authentic ayam goreng (fried chicken), this cozy and humble restaurant offers a delightful culinary journey that captures the essence of East Java’s comfort food.
The star of the menu is undoubtedly their signature fried chicken, famous for its unique preparation method where the chicken is first pressure-cooked (presto) before frying. This technique results in exceptionally tender meat that effortlessly peels away from the bone, ensuring each bite is juicy and flavorful. Customers like Alona Kaunang have praised this signature method, highlighting how “it’s very easy to peel off from the bone,” enhancing the enjoyment of every piece.
But the experience doesn’t stop at chicken. The restaurant’s diverse menu includes other fried delicacies, from crunchy tahu susu (milk tofu) to savory bebek goreng (fried duck), as glowing reviewer Laurentia Jessica shares: “Bebek nya enakkkk banget. Ga bau. Pas rasanya.” Accompanied by rich, aromatic sambal bawang (chili shallot sauce) and flavorful urap (vegetable salad with grated coconut), the dishes evoke a celebration of traditional Indonesian flavors at their finest.
The dining atmosphere at Ayam Goreng Pemuda Surabaya feels refreshingly genuine—clean, straightforward, and unpretentious, reminiscent of old-school fried chicken establishments that focus purely on delivering great taste. While the space is modest and parking can be a slight hassle, regulars like Alexander Santosa appreciate the intimate setting paired with bold, memorable flavors: “small restaurant in Gandaria area. delicious taste… The chili is very delicious. Surely will be back.”
For those seeking a hearty meal that embraces genuine Indonesian cooking traditions, this spot offers an authentic taste escape. Whether you’re craving crispy, juicy fried chicken, richly spiced duck, or perfectly balanced sides, Ayam Goreng Pemuda Surabaya invites you to savor a homey, soul-satisfying dining experience with each visit.

Clear and clean. The old kind of fried chicken restaurant based in Surabaya. Not only serving chicken but there are some other food of fried ones. Sorry I didn't take any picture when I was there.

Makanannya surprisingly ENAK BANGET! cuman minus lalapannya kurang segar dan tukang parkir-nya ngeselin, jadi mikir beribu kali untuk balik lagi

Bebek nya enakkkk banget. Ga bau. Pas rasanya. Beli paket nya. Dihitung sepertinya lebih untung. Urapnya bumbunya medok enakkk. Tahu nya pakai tahu susu jd enak ga asem. Sambelnya sedikit sekalu. Sambel bawang pasangan bebek goreng enak. Sayur asem enak tapi agk manis sedikit. Ayamnya kecil bgt, kalau kesana next pesen bebek goreng nya deh ya. Ooya nasinya pera sekali, keringggg pas disajiin udah dingin. Tolong diperbaiki yaaaa nasi komponen penting juga. Kamar mandi tmpt cuci tangan bersih. Nyaman si.

The right place to enjoy Indonesian traditional food Comfortable, big and clean place to have meal here, the food was delicious with reasonable price. I enjoyed the calamary, so crispy and also urap (vegetables with coconut spicy sauce), so fresh. The chicken was good too with sayur asem, and also the empal and tahu kipas. With delicious nasi uduk (cooked rice with coconut milk) and also sambal, it was completely satisfied for us.
