Baru coba untuk tempat tidak susah mencari tepat dipinggir jalan raya. Siapin makanan tidak lama. Untuk rasa menurut aku suka. Penjual ramah, aku minta tambah kecap manis. Harga menurut aku masih ramah dikantong. Parkir lega apalagi kalau sore keatas, toko sebelah sudah tutup.

Soto Betawi Djayakarta ini menurutku salah satu spot kuliner yang punya soto Betawi dan soto mi Bogor yang enak. Menurut beberapa rekan yang pernah coba, rasanya mirip dengan masakan dari lokasi asalnya. Makananya enak, harganya cukup terjangkau. Tapi menurutku tempatnya agak sedikit kurang penerangan yaa.
