Welcome to Fish Bite Kemanggisan, a hidden gem nestled in the bustling heart of Jakarta. Located on Jl. Keluarga No.36, this delightful fish and chips restaurant stands out among the sea of dining options with its mouthwatering offerings and casual atmosphere. If you're a fan of perfectly fried fish, this place is bound to become your new favorite.
At Fish Bite Kemanggisan, the star of the menu is undoubtedly the fish and chips. Customers rave about the perfect frying technique, ensuring that the fish remains tender and flaky, without becoming too dry or overwhelmingly soggy. One particularly noteworthy comment from Risiana Limuria captures this sentiment beautifully, highlighting the delightful pairing of their fried fish with sambal matah and even pasta aglio olio. The diverse range of sauces available, such as black pepper and salted egg, broadens the appeal, making each visit a potential exploration of flavors.
However, one should not overlook the restaurant’s chicken offerings, albeit they might not steal the spotlight from their fish dishes. Several diners, like Ahmad Darmansyah, appreciate the expansive menu that features options predominantly focused on seafood and chicken fillet accompanied by chips or rice. Just be prepared for a rather modest setting; while the atmosphere may not be perfect—especially regarding ambient comfort as noted by locals—cleanliness remains a priority, making it pleasant enough for casual dining.
For pasta lovers, Agus Edy Sutomo introduces the ideal combination between flavors with his recommendation of Fish and Garlic Rice Salted Egg. While the taste of the salted egg sauce may not resonate with every palate, the overall quality of the dishes shines through, earning high praises from diners eager to indulge in more than just basic fish and chips. Yet, it is important to note certain quirks of the restaurant, such as their strict policy on bringing external drinks, which some customers have found slightly off-putting. Still, the delicious offerings seem to outweigh these minor inconveniences.
Perhaps the most substantial takeaway from patron experiences, like those from Hans Jonathan and Luthfi Naufal, is the affordability and value of meals at Fish Bite Kemanggisan. With prices that won’t break the bank—such as the Fish and Pasta Salted Egg around 46,000 IDR—the dishes provide a fulfilling experience without sacrificing taste. Discounts through popular payment apps add to the attraction for budget-conscious diners.
So, whether you’re an aficionado of fried fish or simply searching for a new and satisfying spot in Jakarta, Fish Bite Kemanggisan promises a tasty adventure. Though convenience and ambiance could use a touch-up, the quality of the food and the delectable flavors present in every bite make it hard to resist. Come with an appetite and get ready to savor what this charming eatery has to offer!

My favorite fish and chip place in Jakarta. The fish is fried perfectly, not too dry or too soggy because of sauce. I like their sambal matah, and I usually pair it with pasta aglio olio. Their other sauces like black pepper, salted egg, etc are also good. They also have chicken in their menu. I have only tried the chicken once, but it did not taste as good as the fish, so I usually stick to ordering the fish.

I visited here to have lunch. The menu was nice, all about fish, chicken fillet with chips or rice. I ordered chick and chips salteg egg as seen below. The place is quite hideous from the street. When I came in, air conditioner was not working, just some fans here. There is no WiFi and praying room here. The mobile data is quite bad here, due to its location that's likely cornered and hideous. But, the place is clean.

My favorite menu is Fish and Garlic Rice Salted Egg, the best combination in this restaurant. But sadly you cant bring any drink from outside, whatever you bring it-you cant drink!! I respect their policy, but when you finish or even about to finish, the server come to tidy up your plate, little bit annoyed. They can come 2-3 times to ask any additional order (when i look around there are nobody except my best friend and me), so what wrong? My drink is not finish yet and I feel like I was kicked out of a restaurant. Yes, the server is the problem, need to call out loud to ask they to come, play music with high volume so my friend and i cant talk with proper volume. So the taste is good, but minus in services. No park for car, only for bicycle/motorcycle.

Loved the place, come here nearly everytime I'm in the area. They served affordable Fish & Pasta which is quite good despite the cheap price, and taste wise it felt worth it. It lacks 1 star because the place is a bit hot, so not really comfortable for working, most people usually just eat and go, or order online. Discounts available from OVO and Go-Pay too.

Delicious fish and pasta. The salted egg flavor is nit really good. But the pasta and fish are really delicious. I like it. The price for fish and pasta Salted Egg is around 46.000. It can make your stomach full. I recommend this restaurant because the Fried fish is really delicious. Thumbs up.

Interior design of the place is really nice but it was hot inside because there are not many fans. The food is served in quite big portion with reasonable prices. I ordered fish and chips combo while both of my friends ordered the same thing which was cheese chicken combo, i think. i forgot the name sorry. The potato wedges was really good. It has spicy cheesy taste. The fish and the chicken is tender but it was quite long to wait for the food.
