Why Locals Love Restoran Hongti Seafood
Nestled in the bustling Komplek RukoTrikarsa Equalita of Batam, Restoran Hongti Seafood offers an authentic Chinese seafood dining experience that delights both locals and visitors alike. This bright and spacious eatery welcomes you with a fresh, open-air atmosphere that perfectly complements its flavorful menu, making it a beloved destination for seafood enthusiasts and families in the region.
What truly sets Hongti Seafood apart is its dedication to quality and authenticity. Among the standout dishes, the pork knuckle bee hoon has earned rave reviews for its tender, flavorful meat paired impeccably with springy bee hoon noodles—it's a comforting dish that lingers fondly on the palate. Another highlight is the Tomyum soup served in a coconut shell, a captivating twist that infuses the classic spicy and sour broth with a subtle sweetness and aromatic depth, enhancing every spoonful with tropical freshness.
Seafood lovers will be pleased to find the steamed fish remarkably fresh and delicately seasoned, offering a pure and succulent taste of the sea at a wallet-friendly price. For those intrigued by herbal flavors, the 纸包鸡 (herbal steamed whole chicken) is a must-try, especially available on weekends; its fragrant medley of herbs penetrates the tender chicken, creating a soothing and richly aromatic dish that comforts the soul.
The dining experience at Hongti Seafood is complemented by warm and earnest service. While the pace might feel a bit leisurely during peak hours, staff members more than make up for it with genuine hospitality and attentiveness. One particularly touching moment shared by a guest highlighted how the owner personally addressed a mistaken order with sincerity and an offer of refund, reflecting a rare professionalism that shows how much they value their patrons.
The lively open-air setting invites a casual and relaxed vibe, perfect for large groups or family gatherings, as evidenced by a group of 19 diners who left glowing impressions of their meal. However, guests should be mindful of the outdoor environment, as mosquitoes and the occasional curious cat add a little local charm — and a dash of challenge — to the experience.
Whether you’re craving hearty Chinese seafood or adventurous herbal dishes, Restoran Hongti Seafood stands out as a gem in Batam’s culinary scene. With its enticing flavors, welcoming ambiance, and honest care for guests, this restaurant promises a memorable and satisfying meal that will beckon you back time and time again.

The pork knuckle bee hoon is one of the best I ever tried. The Tomyum soup in coconut shell is also a must try. All 19 of us enjoyed the dinner here and will definitely be backed wherever we are in Batam. Highly recommended

Clean, spacious and brightly lit restaurant with authentic Chinese food. Service is a little slow but it is compensated with good food. Worth supporting.

The restaurant offers Cheap and good seafood! The steamed fish is served fresh and is so delicious and it costs less than SGD20. The 纸包鸡 is herbal steamed whole chicken and is full of herbal taste. Highly recommended place in batam!

There was a mistake with my order at first, and I was quite disappointed. However, I really appreciate how the restaurant, especially the owner, sincerely apologized and even offered a refund without me asking. It’s rare to see such genuine responsibility and care for customers. they are professional and truly value their guests.

The 南乳炸肉mentioned in one of the reviews was really delicious. Herbal chicken is only available on sat and sun. it's good. But the famous JB Herbal chicken is better imo. The blackcurrant drink was also quite nice. However, due to the restaurant being open air, I was bitten by mosquitoes twice. Also got harassed by the "begging cats".

Quite a real gem to find this Chinese restaurant in Batam. Uniquely prepared Chinese food here especially the braised pig trotter taste nostalgic. The asam fish is not too bad with Intense flavour. The lang ru fried pork definitely goes well with a glass beer. The cockles cooked with special prepared spicy sauce is so so good. The herbal baked chicken is something you shouldn’t miss at all. Very flavorful and infuse herbal taste. Friendly and simple restaurant! A must to try when you visit to Batam.

This was my 2nd time coming here. Went during the CNY long weekend. The 1st time was also during the CNY period last year. The food quality and services were all great and amazing, just like last year. Nothing has changed. Same friendly staff there as well. 2 levels, so it's good for dining in with family and friends. Was crowded just like last year, which shows the good response from customers. Ordered crab, fish and prawn related dishes. All were delicious. Overall, it was a very good experience and recommended.
