    Thai Tea
    Sasa F.

    Bistro 34 is a new food truck that is stationed in front of San Gabriel Superstore since end of September - adding to the fleet of food trucks along San Gabriel Blvd. (There are also a few food trucks on the Valley Blvd side) We've tried Mien Tek Tek, Chicken Satay Wrap, Beef Rendang and Thai Iced Tea. Shrimp crackers that came with each plate were tasty. Our rating are ranked in order from most liked to okay below: 1) Mien Tek Tek - a bit of a kick but pretty good $12 (Our favorite of the 3. Choose from beef or chicken. We got chicken) 2) Chicken Satay Wrap - good, $13 3) Beef Rendang - ok, $14 Thai Tea - not bad, $5 Chef Dru/business owner is friendly. Seems like a one man band for now. Support small business by checking out his Indonesian cuisine. This is not really important/not a factor to patronize the food truck, but I do like the newer, more stylish portable picnic table seating compared to the tacky tables and plastic chairs other food trucks have. Note: if food truck is not there, then it means it's away for private catering. Good to know: accepts both cash & card

    Beef Rendang
    Irene L.

    Located in front of San Gabriel supermarket, Bistro 34 serves authentic Indonesian food. I ordered the beef rendang bowl, chicken satay bowl, and mien tek tek, and everything was fantastic. The flavors were rich and authentic, with just the right amount of spice to bring out the best in each dish. The beef rendang was incredibly tender--it just melted in my mouth--and the chicken satay was juicy and perfectly marinated. The portions were also generous, definitely worth every penny. If you're craving delicious, hearty Indonesian food, this food truck is a must-try!

    Great food.. taste of indonesian in a glance. My fav is chicken satay and the mien tek tek which is fried noodle

    Great food.. taste of indonesian in a quick grab menu .. love their chicken satay and mien tek tek and refreshing soda gembira drinks must try

    Bistro 34 food truck

    This is a hidden gem ... food truck normally parked across the street from the Rosemead Library (nearest cross street Valley Blvd and Muscatel Ave). They offer a great variety of Indonesian food and drinks. I recommend the shrimp fried rice and the beef rendang bowl. It's delicious and authentic. They also have fusion food like chickritto (chicken satay buritto). This is a must try if you are into food trucks and one of the best in the SGV.

    Got a beef wrap it was so good lots of meat for the price and was super juicy  it was 10/10 food is definitely better than ipoh kopitam

    We've visited this place a couple of times, and they always offer such a delicious variety of…read moreIndonesian food! They have so many different options, including rice dishes, sauces, fried chips, snacks, and Indonesian drinks. I actually think some of their dishes taste a lot better than some of the Indonesian restaurants we've tried in SoCal. Everything is always freshly made, and the flavors really remind me of home. My friends and I usually get the banana-wrapped rice with beef rendang or the chicken version. We also tried the nasi kucing with octopus, and it was really good! The only downside I'd say about the rice plates is that I wish they gave more meat and less rice, especially with the larger wrapped ones. The prices definitely aren't cheap for these meals, but the food does taste good. We also tried their fried banana topped with cheese and Ceres, and it was chef's kiss. It was so good that I regret not getting more! This is a place we always used to visit when we lived in SoCal, and we still make a point to stop by whenever we're visiting down there now that we've moved to the Bay Area. There are still so many other dishes from this place that I haven't tried yet, but I definitely will the next time I visit! Parking is first come first serve and it's free. Sometimes during the weekend, it gets packed. There are limited outdoor seatings in front of the shop and no indoor seatings. They have microwave inside for you to heat the food and water as well. I highly recommend checking this place out if you're ever in the area. If you're craving authentic Indonesian flavors that remind you of home, this is definitely worth a visit.

    Really enjoyed Borneo Eatery. We ordered the Singapore Laksa, Nasi Campur, and Roti Prata and…read morepretty much cleaned everything up. The Singapore Laksa was my favorite. The curry broth was creamy, spicy, and packed with flavor. It came with shrimp, fish cake, tofu, egg, corn, bean sprouts, and noodles, so there was a lot in that bowl. There was actually an error with our order, but our server was so apologetic and immediately had the kitchen remake it. We didn't ask or complain, she just wanted to make it right. Really appreciated that. The Nasi Campur was great too. Rice with BBQ pork, Chinese sausage, fried chicken, and egg. Lots of different flavors on one plate and good if you want to try a little bit of everything. Roti Prata is always hard for me to pass up. Crispy and flaky on the outside, chewy inside, and that curry sauce they give you for dipping is so good. We finished that pretty quickly. Good food and even better service. Mistakes happen, especially at restaurants. How they handle them matters more to me, and our server handled ours perfectly. Would definitely come back.

Food came out quickly and was quite good. Singapore Laksa (6/10) - the curry was rather thin and lacking in flavor but maybe that's because it's intended to be more of a soup. I would've preferred rice on the side instead of rice noodles. Next time I would get the actual curry instead of this, but that is just personal preference Roti (8/10) - probably the best thing we had. It was simple but very delicious, flakey and decadent. The curry sauce was much thicker and paired along well, giving a sweet and mildly spicy flavor Nasi Campur (7/10) - the first bite was delicious, but gradually became more monotonous after each bite. I think the ratio of fried chicken thigh to the sausage and cha siu was slightly off, adding to the repetitive nature of the dish. Overall, it was still quite good

While I was staring at the menu deciding whether I wanted to get anything, several people came and went with their orders and everyone told me to get the fried chicken. So, I went inside and got the fried chicken with macaroni salad. A few mintues later, I added a katsu musubi to the order. This is not fast-food. The wait is real. About 12 minutes. I then had probably about 10 minutes of driving before I sat down to eat. The fried chicken is delicious and has a great crispy/crunchy skin. There is a faint sweetness that coats the chicken. The meat was not super plump like some national-chain places (I think those places brine-injected the chicken). Depending on your preference, this might feel too dry to you. Their dipping sauce for the chicken is very tasty. If they just sold that in bottles, I'd come just to buy that for use at home! Speaking of preferences, the macaroni salad is also well made, but it's simple and might be disappointing if you're expecting some kind of flavor kick. I liked it very much, because it is in the style of the basic macaroni salad -- someone described it as going home to Hawaii for them -- and I think that's what it is. Portions were enough to split into two meals. So I had half of my chicken and the mac salad. I had planned to also only eat half of the musubi. But it was delicious and had a nice crunch which I'm sure would not have held up being kept in the fridge. I really enjoyed the musubi on its own, but also enjoyed taking turns with bites with that sauce added on. I stored the rest of the chicken and mac salad in the fridge and then had them for dinner 6 hours later. Despite being in the fridge, the chicken still had a bit of a crunchy bite to it - it wasn't a mushy soggy mess. Very friendly service. This is not a sit-down place you go to for a dining experience - just a solid place to get food to go that will be delicious. Now that I've had the fried chicken that everyone seems to recommend, I'm looking forward to trying the rest of their menu.

It is a small, unassuming little place with a free parking lot. Upon entering, I was greeted warmly, and I have to say, the service was great! The lady at the counter was super sweet and made small talk with me. I got my order which came out to $17.12 after tax. Food-wise, the fried chicken was indeed delicious! I loved the batter: it was shatteringly crisp. The chicken was tender and flavored well, but I loved the sauce that came with it! For the mac salad, I thought it was just okay. It tasted a bit plain from other mac salads I've tried, but the noodles were cooked perfectly. For the price, the portion size is okay, but I'm not complaining since the food was good. Overall, the friendly service and fried chicken is what makes me want to come back again! I definitely want to try their other offerings too. Would recommend!

    Review On 8/17/24 I…read morewent to Indonesian Night Market with my wife. She was born and raised in Indonesia and we were very excited. LA SATAY was set up there, along with a few other food vendors. ALL the lines were long so we just decided to choose LA SATAY because it looked shorter than Marine Satay. We waited in line for 2 hours and as we finally neared the front, one worker said they were running out of meat so we might not get to our order. He said we could order but would refund us if we didn't get any food. I told him we were in line for 2 hours and missed most of the Indonesian Night Market shows and events and the best he could come up with was to put hands up with a shoulder shrug. We ordered with the female owner and I expressed to her our frustration. I told her we waited in line for 2 hours and missed a lot of the events and she apologized. She said the event did not supply them with electricity so they had to use a generator that ended up malfunctioning at some point I guess. I would hope a well run business had contingencies such as a back up generator and/or an additional battery. Also, I would assume a well run business would know their inventory and to give guests in line a warning PRIOR to waiting up to over an hour that they may run out of food. Further, if something goes wrong because of poor planning, I would fully expect the business to take accountability and offer the customer an incentive such as a discount at time of purchase or a gift card or something to make things right. We ordered and people AFTER us began getting their orders. Mind you, they ran out of tofu so all the orders were chicken plates so they were all the same. We complained that people AFTER us were getting orders before us and all the workers seemed confused and overwhelmed. We waited 30 minutes to finally get our orders and the chicken was COLD, BURNT, DRY and had NO flavor. The rice was between cold and warm. We didn't get any shrimp chips because they ran out. So we paid FULL PRICE and didn't get what's supposed to be included in the plate. If I wasn't starving and didn't wait 2.5 hours to get our food, I'd return it and demand a refund. The entire experience with LA SATAY was EXTREMELY UNSATISFACTORY. The lack of organization, customer service and food quality was so VERY poor. The male owner posted a video the morning of the Indonesian Night Market and said his "lifestyle" affects his product and his services. Recipe is from his Grandmother and he takes a lot of pride in what he does. He wanted to serve the "best product tonight". I left a short and polite review on the comment section and they deleted it. I doubt their Grandmother would approve of serving customers cold food, poor business management and poor customer service. This is not the type of service I was expecting from the Indonesian culture and they lacked empathy, grace, pride, generosity and the desire to please. I would NOT recommend eating at an LA SATAY tent. Choose another vendor.

There seems to only be one server so things can take some time but otherwise, the service is good! It's located in a small strip mall with relatively easy parking but some spots can be a bit tight. The interior is simple but definitely "mom and pop" vibes. We ordered Fried Ogo Squash, Paratha with Peas, and Tea Leaf Salad for starters and Prawn Curry and Gravy Rice as mains dishes. All the starters were delicious choices and, although the paratha was a little oily, it went super well with the peas and curry. The prawn curry was a flavor explosion with the prawns being perfectly cooked and the gravy rice was packed with veggies and a good amount of gravy. Some people in our party are vegetarian and everything besides the prawn curry were good choices for them. For desserts and drinks, we ordered RC Trio Delight, Smashed Strawberry Drink, and Rangoon Milk Tea. The RC Trio was a little on the sweet side but refreshing and the smashed strawberry was a delicious yogurt drink filled with strawberry. The Rangoon milk tea is delicious and a not too sweet option. 10/10 would recommend. Already thinking about the next time we come back.
