Ordered the chicken satay. The peanut sauce was nothing like any other sate ive tasted with a strong taste of cinnamon.

That was my first time I tasted Soto Banjar. Don't have any benchmark, but I can tell you that was delicious! The chicken and "perkedel" combined with ketupat (traditional steamed rice) served with yellowish sauce.

They have big space so if you come of a group of people, this resto should be considered. However, the food is so-so. But it's tasteful

The soto banjar has more variance and better taste than the one in Banjarmasin which is too sweet imho.
