01 The story, in three paragraphs

Why everyone keeps coming back.

Bak Kut Teh Ginseng Ny Cinda is a standout Chinese restaurant nestled in the serene residential area of Komp. Purnama Elok, Pontianak. This hidden gem specializes in authentic Bak Kut Teh—a beloved herbal pork rib soup that warmly embraces you with its rich, aromatic flavors.

The moment you taste their signature Bak Kut Teh Ginseng, you’ll notice the masterful balance of herbs and spices, creating a broth that is both savory and mildly sweet, far from the usual pepper-heavy varieties. The pork ribs are tender, practically melting off the bone, inviting you to savor every bite. Many customers, like Jienyus S, rave about how a single portion is generous enough to share, combining great value with satisfying fullness.

In addition to their Bak Kut Teh, the menu features exquisite options such as Tim Ayam Kampung Ginseng Herbal—steamed free-range chicken infused with ginseng and traditional herbs—and refreshing ginseng tea, providing a rounded herbal dining experience that nourishes both body and soul.

Dining at Ny Cinda feels like a cozy visit to a friend’s home. The atmosphere is warmly intimate and homely, accentuated by friendly and attentive staff who go the extra mile to ensure you’re comfortable and well cared for. There’s even the nostalgic pleasure of enjoying your meal while watching TV in a quiet, relaxed corner, a detail that adds to the inviting ambiance customers have come to love.

Cleanliness and calm prevail here, making it ideal for those seeking both a comforting meal and a peaceful dining environment. Whether you’re looking to grab a wholesome meal to enjoy on-site or take home, Bak Kut Teh Ginseng Ny Cinda’s reputation for authenticity and quality is well earned, as echoed by longtime fans like Alan Chai and Mr.English.

If you’re in Pontianak and craving a genuine taste of Chinese herbal cuisine that feels like a warm embrace, Ny Cinda promises an experience both heartwarming and memorable—comfort food at its very best.

A rare find, Bak Kut Teh place in Pontianak. Located at the residential house near Jl. Purnama. I ordered the Bak Kut Teh Ginseng Regular + Tim Ayam Kampung Ginseng Herbal (with Chinese wine upon request) + Ginseng Tea + half rice. Bak Kut Teh is perfectly cooked, meat is tender, fall off the bones when you pull it, and the soup is darker and thicker type - not the peppery type, savoury, mild sweetness with slight bitterness from the ginseng. A bulb of garlic added to the aromatic, intense taste when you suck the garlic whole. Tim Ayam Kampung Ginseng also perfectly steamed. Meat is tender and lightly seasoned. The soup is refreshing and light, easy on the tongue. But my face added a shade of red after I finished the chicken soup laced with Chinese wine. Home cooked gem indeed, hidden away at the corner of the Pontianak city. The owners (husband and wife) are very friendly. Definitely will be back to taste more of the food here. Especially the kacang ma, and off the menu selections (you have to ask the owners).

If "Hidden Gem" is a word to describe something unusual, yet truly worth your time, this is the best place to take your lunch. The dish will surely justify my rating Biasanya, Bak Kut Tea/Rou Guo Cha (Teh Daging Rendam) itu pakai daging Babi. Tapi Ny. Cinda juga membuat versi halal, dengan dapur, alat, tempat makan, dan bahannya juga terpisah sehingga sobat2 Muslim bisa mencoba resep andalannya. Jadilah Chick Kut Tea, yaitu Ayam Rendam Teh. Isi dari potnya ini akar Ginseng, biji-bijian, dan Bawang putih yang udah ditim lamaa (>3 jam). Enak, rekomen sekali 10/10
