Amazing food, quality service, all at the right price. My first time trying Indonesian food and I wasn’t sure I was going to like it, but to my amusement it was spot on. We ordered several dishes and every single one of them was just awesome. Even the roti was amazing and the curry that came with it.

Service was great. The food was delicious. We ordered lumpia, and two of the traditional plates which are what the servers recommended. Everything was so tasty. You really have to get down and dirty and eat the chicken with your hands but it’s part of the whole experience. The fried chicken part of the Rames plate was absolutely delicious. Will definitely be back

As somebody who loves authentic Asian food, I am never coming back. I was so excited to try this Indonesian restaurant, but the flavors of every dish I tried left so much to be desired. We ordered one appetizer and four main dishes including the lonpong, grilled fish, oxtail soup, and laksa. The broths were watered-down yet overly salty, and the oxtail soup had no bone flavor whatsoever. (It also cost $24 for four small pieces of oxtail bone in a small bowl).The dishes were all made with cheap shortcuts such as the use of frozen mixed veggies in the soup instead of fresh vegetables. The curries and soups lacked any depth of flavor, and I highly doubt they used any slow-cooking methods that would bring out the true flavors of the food. The low quality ingredients resulted in bland yet salty flavors that were attempted to be covered up by fatty and/or sugary additions to make it more tasty. It tasted like Indonesian Panda Express.The only redeeming factors were: 1) the texture of the egg noodle, which was chewy and delicious, and 2) the the peanut sauce on the chicken sate appetizer, which was a little too sweet but still tasty.However, the dishes were beautifully presented and the service was alright, so if you come here for a fun time and pleasant atmosphere this place could be ok.

The food here is legit southeast asian; the flavours are excellent. We had the nasi goreng jawa, ikan bakar, kangkong, and vietnamese iced coffee. Mildly spicy for southeast Asian standards. Highly recommend

A pleasant Thai experience with authentic items and flavors but it falls short in some areas.Parking is a very tiny and busy lot so during busy times youll have a better chance just going to the streets nearby. The outside area can get a little be chaotic and jank as well. Service was fine and unremarkableLaksa: Get!Always love the bright flavors and how all the tart, sour, and savory flavors combine so well.Roti: Get!So amazing similar to the laksa, its just so composed that fills all your different taste buds and makes you go mmmmmmMei tek tek: SkipThis item took an extra 15 minutes to come out and when it finally came it was quite bland. Didnt have any personality at all and could have been something I threw together at home.Food: 7/10Service: 6/10Atmosphere: 5/10Value: 5/10

It was our first time trying Simpang Asia on this trip to LA. We started off with their highly recommended Roti Paratha, a flaky bread with a curry dip, for our appetizer. Matched it with their Es Cendol, a pandan jelly and coconut milk iced drink.For vegetables, we had Cah Kangkung, which was soooo good. We capped it off with Chicken Satay which was anothe excellent choice.

Simpang Asia is my favorite Indonesian café in Los Angeles. Food is delicious and authentic, it’s comfort food. The best is to come with a group and share food family style! Every time I come here, it’s always a feast and would order about everything on the menu. Definitely order the traditional dishes, they’re served on banana leaves and comes with a variety of the popular Indonesian food, you will get a taste of everything! If you love bold distinctive flavors, you will love Indonesian food.Simpang doesn’t serve alcohol, but there is a bar next door. Simpang will allow you to order drinks from the bar and take it to your table while eating there. You can even keep your bar tab open and ask the bartender to bring the drinks to you while you eat.

We ordered the Nasi Lemak, Nasi Kuning, and Kuey Teow Goreng. The food was delicious and very authentic to Indonesia and Malaysia. Take it from someone who has traveled to and eaten there many times!
