Chicken Satay
Mel J.

This restaurant is at one of the corners in Old Sacramento. We ordered at the restaurant's door and there are outdoor seating area on the patio. The service was good and pretty fast. - Indonesian fried chicken: good. The chicken meat was tender and we could taste the spices of marinade in the meat. I wish that they cooked the meat a bit longer so it had crispy skin. - Chicken satay: good. The meat was tender and flavorful. The peanut sauce was good but I wish that it had chunks of peanut. - Lontong sayur: very good. The soup was creamy and flavorful. - Es cendol: good and perfect for a hot day! The cendol was chewy and plenty. The coconut milk was perfectly sweetened.

Cap cay

I love this place. I've been coming here ever since it was called the Indo-cafe. A couple from Sweden of all places, was visiting, and I offered to take them out to dinner. They were staying at the Holiday Inn downtown, and I asked what kind of food they would like. His partner is from Indonesia, and said that it's hard to find good Indonesian food in Sweden. Well, this place is right around the corner. I told them, it's not fancy, but it is good. We meet up, and the lady that ran the restaurant was very friendly. She immediately started chatting. With the lady in my group in Indonesian. Right now, the indoor dining is closed, I don't know if it's going to be coming back, so we just had dinner on the patio. We shared an order of the lumpia, the chicken satay, and they had the Nasi goreng. (Fried Rice.). I ordered the. Cap cay, which was basically chicken with veggies. Everything was very good. The lumpia were delicious, and they were not greasy, On the satay, the chicken was delicious, and the peanut sauce was savory. They definitely liked their fried rice. My dish was also very flavorful, the veggies were just the right texture, and the chicken was very good. I asked my female guest if the food was authentic, and she said yes, it was very good. The price was reasonable for all that we got. I'm glad I was able to give my guests a little taste of Indonesia. I will be back again. Thank you.

Fried rice with pork
Cherise G.

I've seen this place for years and I've finally tried it. And let me tell you they were so good! We ordered the lumpia, fried rice with pork, and fried noodles with chicken. Lumpia was delicious, hubby devoured them. The fried rice was so flavorful with a hint of sweetness. Came with a fried egg too on top. The fried rice I think was my favorite. Big chunks of bbq pork was a win! The lady at the door was sweet and gave her recommendations for my first time there. No seating inside, just outdoor seating. Not sure if that's a permanent thing or not. The place looked small with some small tables inside. However, there are plenty of tables outside or take your food to go. Will definitely order again from them.

Cap cay

Homey authentic Indonesian food that I make sure to stop by for every time I'm in Sacramento! Love all their homestyle dishes that are full of flavors and fresh ingredients. Cap cay, satay, and nasi goreng are all exceptional and I can't resist coming back every time!

The interior
Michael S.

Located right along the river in old sacramento, Bali kitchen is a very cute storefront with a handful of picnic tables adjacent. The service is amazing, and the proprietor is friendly and patiently explains all menu-related questions. The clientele is very diverse and eager to try new things. This afternoon I tried the nasi goreng, I'm Indonesian fried rice. Loaded down with pork, sporting an absolutely delightful crunchy texture throughout, this was both tasty, filling, and satisfying. Would eat again!

Indonesian Chicken Soup
Asma S.

My husband and I went on a date night and the weather was chilly so we decided to check this place out . It's a cute hole in the wall kind of restaurant and that's how you know the food is gonna be good! What caught our eye is that the menu was halal This was our first time trying Indonesian food . The owners were friendly and welcoming . The food came out delicious and we will definitely be back . The soup felt so good to the soup. It tasted like something our grandmother would make

Appetizer and drink case
Ashley C.

Haven't been back here in probably a decade but it's really great to see they are still open!! They had a different name before but the same humble delicious food. Think home cooked food, served straight to you in paper plates. They don't have indoor dining but you can grab a table outside, and most are covered in case it's either raining or too hot. The chicken noodle soup was so comforting on a cold evening! But my favorite was still the beef nasi goreng. Tender beef and just really solid flavor in the rice! Even my kids liked it. The ground beef pastry was okay but a bit dry for me, so I'd skip that, but the lumpia/egg rolls were nice and crispy. I hope this place survives another decade and more, and I will try to visit it even more now that I'm reminded how yummy it was!

Ayam goreng kuning enak bgt. Very good and good portion. Just wish more sambal and rice. And spoon. Its served in paper plate n plastic fork. Couple homeless people around me, quiet and no other visitor. Its kinda shady environment. Parking meter

Sausage roll, Bakmi Goreng (Fried Noodle), Nasi Goreng (Fried Rice)
Arielle G.

I visited yeeeears ago and remember enjoying the food. But on our recent trip, we weren't that impressed. It felt like this was closer to Chinese food (and I think the sign actually did say Chinese fusion), just a little better because it's not super saucy. We had the beef nasi goreng (fried rice) and it was fine, nothing special. Bakmi goreng (fried noodle) was more like a chow mein. The chicken in both the bakmi goreng and satay tasted pre-cooked and lacked flavor. The best thing we ate was the mango sticky rice... mMmMmm good! Anyway, it was ok, but not reminiscent to what we we experienced in Bali.

Bakmi Goreng
Dang Y.

This used to be Indo Cafe back in the days. I miss the old Indo Cafe with secret Indonesian menu with dishes like Nasi Kuning, Nasi Rames, etc. We ordered Nasi Goreng, Bakmi Goreng, and Indonesian Fried Chicken. Food was good. I just prefer the Bakmi Goreng I had before at Indo Cafe with rice noodles instead of the chow mein like noodles in this version. Didn't wait long for the food. I wish they open their inside dining again instead of the seating outside especially when it's cold outside.

Kalapa Muda drink
Miguel A M.

Excellent drinks at this place I will always comeback for this delicious Kalapa muda always space to sit and enjoy

Seafood Curry Soup
Lav L.

Had the Nasi Goreng with Beef, Seafood Curry Soup, and Durian Sticky Rice. Food is not super authentic but tastes good. The Seafood Curry Soup has some noodles, not a lot as a meal. I agreed with other reviewers that it is not thick enough, a bit watery. We ordered the Durian Sticky Rice as dessert and thought it will be a few bucks - it is $21 when we see the receipt! Holy Moly! But I shall say it tastes pretty good, but I won't order again lol

Eggrolls
Yer V.

The first time I came here, I thought the food was okay only but decided to give them another shot. This time around, we got the their egg rolls and their beef rendang. The egg rolls were standard. Nothing amazing but not horrible either. The beef rendang was a big miss in my book. The portions were very small and the beef was very dry. I see they have really good reviews. Maybe I got the wrong items. I'll maybe try it one more time before writing them off.

The location was a bit odd, as there were barely any other businesses nearby. There is street parking that you can pay for. It's a fairly small restaurant. We were were seated pretty quickly. Service was very friendly. I would say that portions were pretty reasonable. Things we ordered: -Pineapple fried rice: Very fragrant with the char and flavorful. Seasoned very well. We opted for mild spice on this. I would order this again. -Chicken pad thai: Done very well! Some places the pad thai is too sweet, but this one was very balanced and had a good tamarind flavor. Medium spicy was a bit on the spicy side, but perfect for me! Would order this again. -Duck larb: Unique, but I couldn't tell it was duck. My partner enjoyed this more than I did. The portion for the larb was on the smaller side and it came with some lettuce, radish, carrots, cucumbers. -Mee kati ground pork: A very unique dish that not many Thai restaurants seem to have, in which it came with noodles, and a variety of toppings like beans sprouts, lettuce, green beans, peanuts, and cilantro. It came with a fermented curry gravy, and it delicious! I would totally order this again. -Green Thai tea: Quite fragrant and not too full on half and half like some other places have it. It's also not as sweet as another local Thai restaurant. I would actually order this again. -Classic Thai tea: Strong Thai tea flavor, also not too sweet. Overall, Hiso was a great Thai/Lao restaurant and I would totally come back and recommend this place!

The red curry was really good imo but my husband said it could have been thicker and more flavorful. The pad thai was decently spicy for a medium rating. Very good flavor and I would say one of the better pad thais you can get in Sacramento. Not overly saucy like in some places. We also ordered the Tum Luang Pra Bang, green papaya salad with fermented fish sauce. I will say, the execution and the quality of ingredients were superb, I personally couldn't get past the flavor, but my mom, a stronger SEA woman, loved it! The staff was very nice and polite. The ambiance was very cute, gave cafe/small restaurant vibes. I have been in the area for awhile and this place has been a revolving door of restaurants. I hope this one sticks!

I came in on a Monday around 11:40 am, was seated right away since I was the first customer, and my food came out in less than 10 minutes. The ambiance was simple with some greenery. The waitress was tentative and so kind. I believe her and the nice gentleman are the owners, I could be wrong. I ordered the sushi tacos - unagi, ebi, and sake. It was a major flavor explosion in my mouth and I can't wait to go back!! Thanks to TikTok, I had to try this. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!!

I also always take friends and family visiting here and it never disappoints. The yelp wait is pretty accurate, so I recommend joining before you head over to avoid having to wait there. Last time I went and checked, it was about an hour wait so I joined it and did some grocery shopping nearby before going there. I've had everything on the menu so it's up to the point where it depends on what I'm feeling. Everything on the menu is different so it's not too hard to choose. If I want something soupy, I'll go for the crab udon, if I want rice, the fried rice, something full of flavor, the Banh Mi Chao, something light, then the Banh Khot (good option since they don't make Banh Xeo on the weekends). The last time I went 07/04/2026, I noticed on the wall they were having a special, Bun Bo Hue, which I love when I go to pho restaurants. I'm not sure if it's new or I've been blind this whole time, but it did not disappoint. It was full of flavor, and it was nice that they put the spicy paste on the side for you to adjust the spiciness. I love spicy foods but one of my friends do not, so it was easy for us to enjoy our meal. It was also not just a spicy sauce to add; there was a past along with it. Shrimp paste maybe? I didn't ask, but it enhanced the flavor, so I recommend using it. Their sister restaurant, Me's Kitchen is next on my list to try. Can't wait!

Yes, today was our first. I'm a sucker for excellent customer service and Cafe Burma and Mikayla had me at HELLO. LOL NOTE: I DIDN'T DO ANY PRE- REVIEW UPON ARRIVING. The husband wanted a Monday Date night and who am I to say No. What we had: *Planta with Chicken Coconut Dip. This planta is a crossover of naan with Mochi like middle with the prefect crisp served with an amazing Chicken sauce. Yah...will be having this again. Hubby had most of it because I was saving my appetite for what's to come. *TeaLead Salad - Yes its a MUST. The fried seasoned garlic is the secret to why this salad hits the palate in the most perfect way. The dressing is oil based which wasn't over powering or even greasy. The peanut was tastefully done. Yes - I ate most of it. Fresh ingredients in every bite. *Chili Basil Beef - at first glance, it looked like Mongolian Beef but far from the taste. The cumin, ginger and chili flakes gave this dish the wow factor. Mind you, I dislike ginger pieces and didn't come across one piece so they must have used ginger powder which I appreciate. We all know the benefits of ginger and I feel like I got a dose of it without biting into one. *PadThai - we were warned that the Burmese way come with a hint of sweetness and this was definitely true but notoverpowering. Husband enjoyed it, me not so much. The dishes came with extra large prawns. You can tell the prawns we're seasoned first hand before getting tossed into the mix. DRINKS: Husband had the coconut monsoon (rum with coconut flakes and I had Bite Dog HAZY IPA - yum. Prime location - corner of 16th street and J, street parking. Restaurant was clean and with a bar and open kitchen concept. What I would have liked: I wish the aesthetic of the restaurant showcased the culture. Wish the dishes were served in a more traditional serving plates. My eyes eat first so I would have appreciated the extra touch but the TASTE definitely made up for it. Will definitely be back! Need to try a dessert next time. Thanks for having us Chef Burma.
