"it's one of the soto ayam pak man restaurants, located near kariadi hospital. they have single, and half portion of soto ayam. personally, a single portion is not enough for me, so i go for one and a half portion. the soup is light and clear. you can taste the chicken broth from the soup. they have many side dishes like tempe, tofu, martabak, beef skewers, and many others. this place has indoor, and semi-outdoor area."

"Rasanya badabes. Taste of the chicken essence is just right for my taste bud, not too much and definitely not on the mild side. Also recommend the tahu goreng. Glad to swing by and try it out during my short stay in Semarang. For me, I think this one is slightly better than the reputable Soto Bokoran"

"If you're looking for an authentic and satisfying culinary experience in Semarang, Soto Ayam Pak Man on Jalan Veteran is an absolute must-try. This humble eatery consistently delivers one of the best bowls of soto ayam (chicken soup) you'll find in the city, making it a local legend. The soto here is characterized by its clear, flavorful broth that boasts a delicate balance of spices without being overpowering. It's rich and savory, creating a comforting warmth with every spoonful. The generous serving of shredded chicken is always tender and adds a hearty substance to the soup. What truly elevates Pak Man's soto is the thoughtful addition of glass noodles, fresh celery, and crispy fried shallots, which provide delightful textures and an aromatic finish. You also have the option to customize your bowl with various additions like "perkedel" (fried potato patties), "sate telur puyuh" (quail egg satay), or "sate usus" (chicken intestine satay), all of which perfectly complement the soto. The self-service style for these add-ons is part of the charm, allowing you to tailor your meal to your preference. The atmosphere at Pak Man's is unpretentious and bustling, typical of a beloved local eatery. It's often packed, especially during peak hours, which is a testament to its popularity. Don't expect fancy decor; instead, embrace the lively, authentic local vibe. The service is quick and efficient, ensuring you get your delicious soto without a long wait."

"First Impression: A rustic, colonial style house with traditional Soto stall in front of the shop. Inside you can feel 1970s vibes inside. Shady trees at the outside seating will welcome every customer upon entering. A nice place for every occasion, especially with groups and family Food: The main dish is Soto Ayam, a small bowl soto with rice inside. Condiments are free to choose once you're seated at the table. Condiments are, crispy tempeh, fried banana, tahu bakso, chicken skewers, lunpia, etc. Unique taste in their soto, unlike any other soto restaurant alike."
