The Chinese National Restaurant

The Chinese National - SilverKris

"Housed within Swissôtel Jakarta PIK Avenue, this sprawling four-in-one dining destination celebrates Cantonese cuisine with contemporary flair, spanning several stylish spaces—Lan Zhou La Mian Bar, Dragon Well, Iron Needle and The Bao Kitchen—and serving everything from steaming hand-pulled noodles to dim sum and wok-fried classics. Designed with cinematic grandeur, the interiors blend dark wood, jade-green accents and glowing lanterns to create an elegant yet lively mood, while service is attentive yet unpretentious. The kitchen excels at precision—think crisp roast duck, delicate har gow and silky ma po tofu—and it’s a favourite among Jakarta’s business crowd and weekend diners alike. Counted among the capital’s most sophisticated Chinese restaurants, it’s ideal for power lunches or lingering family dinners that end with warm tea and conversation." - James P. Ong
