ALL IN ONE

Located in Senopati area that already packed with numerous restaurants, Asiatale Resto & Bar offers more than just a place to eat.

Unlike most the restaurants nearby, here, it's the place where you can enjoy hearty Chinese Food with your family or hangout with friends yes because they have lounge upstairs.

The usage of typical Indonesian spices also kaffir lime
