Our Story

Bobi Bowl was founded by Chef Bobby Sutanto and Sylvana Sari in 2024, with a vision to bridge the gap between high-quality dining and everyday comfort food.

We saw two extremes in the market:

  • Premium restaurants that felt inaccessible for everyday dining
  • Casual options that lacked consistency, quality, and attention to detail

So we built Bobi Bowl to sit in between.

A place where food is refined and thoughtfully crafted, without losing the warmth, the soul and familiarity of comfort food. Every dish is created with attention to flavor, balance, and presentation because we believe comfort food should still feel thoughtful and refined.

The name “Bobi” comes from Chef Bobby himself. More than just a name, it represents a legacy in the making - a long-term vision to create a modern Indonesian brand that can grow beyond borders.

Why “Bowl”?

Because the bowl was where everything started.

Our original concept was built around rice bowls. Complete meals combining carbs, proteins, sauces, and toppings in one comforting experience. As the brand evolved, so did the menu.

Today, we serve a wider range of modern Indonesian dishes and light bites, while still carrying the spirit of that original idea: simple, satisfying, and comforting food in one place.

The “bowl” became more than a format.

It became a philosophy.

Comfort food that feels complete.
