Rūmu Private Room Grill Elevates Japanese Barbecue and Karaoke Experience
What sets Rūmu Private Room Grill apart is its unwavering focus on exclusivity—privacy isn’t just a perk here, it’s the whole point. Designed for those who love dining behind closed doors, Rūmu Private Room Grill is ideal for family feasts, lively reunions with friends, or any celebration that calls for a little seclusion. The restaurant boasts 20 private rooms, accommodating anywhere from 4 to 30 guests, with ten rooms kitted out with Smart TVs and karaoke—because nothing says a good night out like grilling wagyu while belting out your favourite tunes.
After you take the lift or stairs, you’re instantly transported to a sleek, Japanese-inspired retreat. The space is drenched in warm wood accents, staying true to its authentic theme, while the private rooms—crafted with the same natural wood aesthetic—offer a serene and intimate vibe. But it’s not all traditional minimalism; a playful splash of colourful, iridescent lights dances across the ceiling, giving the space a lively, almost celebratory energy. It’s the perfect blend of calm and festive—ideal for a night of grilling, chilling, and maybe even singing your heart out.
All the menu items at Rūmu Private Room Grill are prepared with no pork, no lard, and no mirin, making it a great choice for everyone to enjoy. The menu showcases an impressive selection of premium cuts—think tender sirloin, juicy karubi, flavourful mesuji, and melt-in-your-mouth saikoro. Dining with a group? Go for the generous platters, perfect for sharing among four to five people. Adding to the experience, the attentive servers don’t just drop off your order—they guide you through the proper grilling techniques, ensuring every bite comes out perfectly charred and packed with flavour.
Before diving into the main feast, kickstart your appetite with a refreshing plate of Samsaek Namul. This vibrant assortment of seasoned vegetables features crisp horenzo, crunchy julienned carrots, bean sprouts, and earthy mushrooms, all lightly seasoned to perfection.
You simply can’t skip the Chicken Nanban – a true crowd-pleaser for good reason. Imagine thick, juicy fried chicken, perfectly golden and crisp, then generously coated with the signature nanban sauce. Rich and creamy with an eggy, tangy kick reminiscent of tartar sauce. One bite, and you’ll understand why this dish is an absolute must-try.
The undeniable star of the menu, the A5 Wagyu Rib Eye Steak, is a showstopper you can’t afford to miss. Arriving dramatically in a wooden chest with a swirl of smoke from dry ice, it sets the tone for a luxurious experience. This premium cut, prized for its melt-in-your-mouth marbling, is best enjoyed medium (or medium rare)—just grill each side for around 10 seconds on a hot pan for that perfect sear. The result? Juicy, tender bites that practically dissolve on your tongue. To elevate the flavour even further, choose from an array of dipping sauces—sweet and delicate, rich savoury oil, or a mild spicy kick.
Dining with friends or family? Rūmu Private Room Grill has you covered with its impressive sharing platters. The Rūmu Signature Platter is the ultimate pick, featuring a generous 600 grams of premium cuts—perfect for 4 to 5 people. Expect a mouthwatering lineup: Rib Eye Steak MB5+ with its rich marbling, succulent Prime Short Ribs, the luxuriously tender Misuji MB9+, and flavourful Gyutan (beef tongue).
When the weather feels unpredictable, nothing beats a steaming bowl of comfort—and Rūmu Private Room Grill delivers just that with its heartwarming Japanese Shabu-Shabu Set. The rich and creamy Tori Paitan Broth is pure comfort in a pot, made even better when paired with thinly sliced short ribs that melt into the broth, adding a savoury depth while staying beautifully tender. Each set comes complete with fresh vegetables, mushrooms, tofu, udon, and a variety of dipping sauces and condiments, letting you customize every bite to your liking.
Craving sushi? The Special Salmon Roll is an absolute choice. This indulgent roll wraps crab stick, crisp kyuri, and crunchy tempura bits into a perfect bite, then takes it up a notch with thick, buttery slices of salmon belly draped on top. Finished with a drizzle of creamy Japanese mayo and a pop of briny ikura, it’s rich, fresh, and downright irresistible—truly a sushi lover’s dream.
For a fresh take on seafood with a fusion twist, don’t miss the Miso Oyster Gratin. These plump oysters are oven-baked to perfection, combining the rich umami of miso with a creamy, velvety texture and a golden, crispy top.
Still need a little carb comfort? The Wagyu Beef Tallow Fried Rice is a hearty choice you won’t regret. This Japanese-style stir-fried rice is infused with the rich aroma of wagyu beef tallow, tossed with crunchy beef crackling bits, tender diced beef, fluffy eggs, and just the right hit of garlic. Savoury, fragrant, and deeply satisfying.
Time for dessert? The Matcha Dessert Series at Rūmu Private Room Grill is a sweet ending you shouldn’t skip, crafted with premium Ceremonial Grade Matcha for that authentic, high-quality matcha flavour. The standout is the Matcha Basque Cheesecake Brulee—a luscious, creamy matcha cheesecake topped with a layer of caramelized sugar that cracks perfectly with every bite. Light yet indulgent, it’s the ideal palate cleanser after a hearty feast.
Freshen things up with their playful mocktails here. The Gummy Bear Lemon Spritz is a zesty tangerine-based refresher, made extra fun with a gummy bear–shaped smoothie that slowly melts into the drink, adding a sweet twist as you sip. For something richer, the Nutella Latte is pure comfort in a glass—a creamy blend of smooth latte and luscious Nutella, delivering a nutty, sweet sensation that’s simply sublime.
Shortly after polishing off your last bite and sip, the real fun begins—Rūmu Private Room Grill lets you switch gears from grilling to singing. Guests can fire up the karaoke system, belt out their favourite tunes, and turn dinner into a mini party. For extra vibes, the main lights can be dimmed, letting the colourful, iridescent ceiling glow set the mood for a lively (or hilariously off-key) sing-along session.
With its unique private dining concept, Rūmu Private Room Grill stands out among Jakarta’s growing list of barbecue spots. It’s the go-to choice for those who crave both great food and a little exclusivity.
