When Merdeka Walk first opened approximately 2 years ago, it was a big hit, and the place was attractive and packed. I recently revisited what i thought was still going to impress. But to my horror, Merdeka Walk is not only poorly maintained, the tables and chairs are dirty and dusty. The entire place is badly lighted, and the service... More

We ate at an Indonesian restaurant on Merdeka Walk. The food was OK, but overpriced for what we were used to paying. Also, there were a lot of restaurants trying to lure us in to their places, which bordered on hassling.

the food is oke, but i don't like the ambiance of this place. it is too crowded (sometime), and the music from the speaker is very annoying. Too loud, or maybe the quality of the speaker is bad...

It's a outdoor eating place with some variety of different restaurants, mostly flocked with young people and the quality is not as what I expected or got in other places in the "food heaven" Medan. But it's nice to see and maybe have a drink there with friends in the evening.

Lots of choices, but the food (nasi goreng) was nothing special. Expats told us later this is more of a tourist trap.

If you're not too adventurous, then you'll like Merdeka walk. It's not a big a area to be honest. It's a the size of a football field with nice, newly built row of shops running along it. You'll find your assortment of local delights and fast food. Prices here are obviously a bit higher than your local roadside stall, but... More

We visited on a weekend night.. and definitely if you're at a loss as to what to eat when you're in Medan, head for Merdeka Walk! It's Medan gastronomy in a pinch. There were a LOT of people there on the weekend night, which made people-watching while you're enjoying your dinner all the more enjoyable. It felt like I was... More

I stayed in Grand Aston which was right opposite to Merdeka Walk. Overall, a must visit place on your Medan trip. You'll find very nice selection of restaurants. For the family with young kids, there is a playland. All n All Highly recommended place!

A good place for hang out at night in Medan, with lots of food choices, easy access bcoz located at center of Medan. Completed with souvenirs shop, kids amusement park and a 24hr McD. Quite difficult to find a parking lot at weekend, and not cozy if rainy day
