Everything we ordered was delicious and authentic. We came from the Bay Area and we were looking for good Indonesian food in LA and we really liked this place. Highly recommended

Great Indonesian cafe. We ordered the Nasi Bungkus & Nasi Kuning, everything was delicious & burst with flavors, loved it! The Ice Cendol had jackfruit and it was yummy. Happy I finally tried Mr Sate. There is parking at the rear, entrance to parking structure is through the alley.

Delicious food! I’d recommend ordering a soup, rice dish and noodles to get a variety of flavors/textures. The spicy sauce is to die for, also the satay as an appetizer is great too.

Overall I liked this as a lunch spot. I haven’t eaten much Indonesian food in general so I don’t have a lot to compare it off but the dish I did get was delicious. Server was friendly & helpful, he actually recommended the dish to me. I’d look to return back to try more of the options on the menu.

This unpretentious Indonesian café is a great example of the ”hidden gem,” with dishes based on centuries of regional tradition rather than fads. Fortunately one of us had spent time in the Indonesia area and guided us to some favorites. We had five varied dishes:Chicken Satay with peanut sauce, described as “a classic Indonesian street foodies dream.” ($8 for 4 pieces). Soto Ayam is a Spicy and Sour shredded red Chicken Soup). ($12). The Nasi Goreng ($11) is a super-flavored chicken stir fried rice dish. The Rendang Bowl is $11, (plus extra sauce for $4). Empek-Empek is a fishcake delicacy with sweet and sour sauce. ($11) Their Thai tea ($4) was one of the few beverage choices. No alcohol or coffee.

Alex was the server and was very kind. All the food I ate was delicious. My favorite was the Bakwan Jagung/corn fritters. and the Mie Goreng. This is Indonesian style food and I will be back for more! If you have sensitive teeth don’t order the Emping Chips.

We loved this place! My husband has spent a lot of time in Indonesia and testified to its authenticity. We got Soto Ayam, chicken satay gado gado, and nasi goreng. We loved it. The Soto Ayam was particularly good and the peanut sauce on the gado gado and chicken satay was delicious. We will be back soon!

First visit and heres what i ordered:- Gado Gado, it was ok but the portion was small and very less peanut sauce.- Almost all kind of satay skewers and honestly theyre just xoxo and not something i would be craving for. The meat on skewers were tiny and very less sauce as well.- Soto Ayam, it was ok but not that much tasty.I was kinda disappointed since there were not many choices on the menu and the concept is tapas which does not fit for this restaurant. I probably expected too much since i saw those images on their Instagram look so delish. I understand this is a new restaurant but they need to improve the menu quickly in order to compete with other asian restaurants in that area especially Simpang Asia. I used to live in Indonesia for years and years so i know how great Indonesian food is. I really want this restaurant to survive and grow bigger so manager or whoever manage this restaurant please do something with the menu....make the portion bigger (raise the price a little bit but still worth it), adding satay combo (comes with rice cake, garnish and please bigger meat), adding rice combo for daily order, add more Indonesian food. Btw..i think you should print out your daily special menu and attach it with regular menu cos if i didnt see your whiteboard i wouldnt know you had special menu. Trust me this restaurant has a lot of potential to grow bigger.I will update my review later after second visit.

[Review from an Indonesian]There is a reason why you don’t find many Indonesian restaurants in the States. Mr. Sate has unlocked the taste and (more importantly) the smell that come from hours of preparation, to release rich essential oil from tropical spices that will bring you to an authentic culinary journey1. Nasi Bungkus: it’s the BOMB. The smell of banana leaf, followed by turmeric and galangal will hit you softly, even before your eyes can digest the festive you are about to savor. My favorite part of the dish is the fried chicken, it’s juicy, flavorful and crispy. It comes with a lot of side dish (beef rendang, egg balado, veggie curry, sambal and chips). I wish I would have asked for extra curry, I prefer the dish to be more saucy then dry. Tho it might seem a lot, but none of the components overpowers the overall dish. Its nicely balanced, but is not shy to express the bold taste we have back home.2. Corn fritter: it surprises me for 2 reasons. Firstly, there is a very subtle hint of herbs hidden in between the crunchiness and sweetness of the corn. I think it’s turmeric, it is not very common (at least in where I am from) but it matches the taste so well - again the smell induces your appetite before you eat (I am salivating as I type this review). Secondly, the secret black sauce. I will not reveal what it is, I let you fantasize. It is original Indonesian style of … sauce.For a new olfactory experience in enjoying a food, this place could be priced much higher!

Picked up a quick to-go order of the Kasi Kuning which had a little bit of everything. Some yellow coconut rice, a bit of stir fried noodles, fried hard boiled egg, turmeric chicken and other little goodies. Full of flavor and packed very nicely! Made for a good lunch since it was not too heavy and overall good portion.Service was friendly and was quick. The interior is clean with a few tables inside and outside with the weather being lovely lately. Definitely want to try this place out in person another time!
