01 The story, in three paragraphs

Why everyone keeps coming back.

Nestled in the heart of Krajan, Jatisawit, Bakso Apollo stands out as a cherished destination for authentic Indonesian bakso and mie ayam enthusiasts. As a dedicated bakso restaurant, it serves up hearty bowls that embody the rich culinary traditions of Central Java with a comforting, homey atmosphere. From the moment you step into this spacious and well-kept warung, you’ll notice how inviting and warm the setting is—perfect for gathering with family and friends over a satisfying meal.

Diving into the menu, the real star is undoubtedly the mie ayam bakso, a delightful combination of noodles, succulent chicken pieces, and expertly crafted meatballs. What makes Bakso Apollo especially notable, as many loyal patrons have shared, is the authenticity and generosity of the chicken topping. Unlike many places where chicken is skimpy or mixed with fillers like mushrooms or tempeh, Bakso Apollo proudly serves large, genuine chunks of tender, flavorful chicken that truly elevate the dish. The noodles come in generous portions, creating a robust, fulfilling experience that’s as comforting as it is satisfying.

Complementing the bakso and mie ayam, the refreshing es jeruk (fresh orange iced drink) is highly recommended. It strikes a perfect balance between sweet and tangy, cleansing the palate and adding a bright, citrusy finish to your meal. This drink pairs harmoniously with the rich flavors of the bakso broth, rounding out a genuinely enjoyable dining experience.

Patrons also appreciate the restaurant's attention to cleanliness and attentive service, with a welcoming staff that adds to the relaxed vibe—ideal for unwinding after a long day. The spacious parking and secure location provide peace of mind, allowing customers to focus entirely on their meal and company.

While some reviews note that the pricing is a bit on the higher side, many agree that the quality and portion sizes justify it, especially given the real generosity in the chicken portions and the overall comforting flavors that reflect true Indonesian culinary heritage.

If you find yourself in Kabupaten Brebes and are yearning for a bowl of hearty, authentic bakso with generous chicken mie ayam toppings, Bakso Apollo promises a memorable and truly satisfying experience that speaks to both your stomach and your soul.

Sebagai penikmat mie ayam, menurut saya, produk di tempat ini lebih dari lumayan, kenapa? Yang pertama, ayamnya real, gak kaleng kaleng, banyak di luar sana, mie ayam dicampur dengan jamur atau tempe, porsi ayamnya sedikit, tapi di sini benar benar ada ayamnya. Dari sisi kuantitas, memang porsi mie yang banyak membuat kita kadang merasa begah atau berlebihan, apalagi kalo ditambah bakso, wow harus bener bener lapar kalo mau mampir ke sini. Semoga semakin baik pelayanan nya,

Bakso khas Solo yang cukup ramai di Bumiayu. Warungnya cukup luas sehingga bisa nyaman jika ngebakso ramai-ramai bersama keluarga dan temen-teman. Parkirannya aman dan nyaman. Tepat berada di teras warung sehingga pengunjung tidak perlu was-was atas kondisi keamanan kendaraannya. Mie ayamnya memiliki potongan ayam yang besar-besar jadinya cukup memuaskan pelanggan yang suka makan banyak. Bakso andalannya adalah bakso jumbo yang rasanya cenderung sangat empuk. Jadi bakso ini sangat cocok buat mereka yang suka bakso lunak. Tapi kurang cocok bagi mereka yang lebih suka bakso yang agak kenyal atau malah alot sehingga terasa tekstur dagingnya.

Salah satu tujuan ngebakso kalo di Bumiayu. Kebetulan hari ini deket2 lebaran, jadi lumayan lebih rame dari biasanya. Baksonya seperti biasa enak, kuahnya berbumbu agak lebih asin, cuma karena pas rame jadi dalem baksonya masih dingin. Bakso 3+ es teh 2 : 68ribu. Mungkin baksonya 20ribuan. Kekurangannya tempatnya aja panas bgt.
