It is always a pleasant surprise to arrive in a city and type 'Indonesian Restaurant' and a spot pops up: Java Bistro. The moment I walked in I could tell this is the real deal. Indonesians filled the tables, and I heard the familiar sound of Bahasa Indonesia. I ordered the Nasi Bungkus Padang, a rice meal wrapped in a banana leaf. The flavors, and the combination of ingredients make this a winner. I loved it! And I could tell I was not the only one, empty banana leaves could be seen on the other tables, as customers left the restaurant. I ordered it with a avocado shake another amazing invention made by who knows who. If you are not familiar with the Indonesian cuisine, this is the place you want to visit. I loved it and I will return. This is one of those places you have to revisit when you are back in town. There is also a small 'toko' or store where you can buy Indonesian and Asian products. Great food, and friendly people. read more

This is some real Indonesian food! It's probably as close as you can get to what you find in Indonesia. And Indonesian food is really hard to replicate in the states. Would definitely recommend the nasi goreng kambing, nasi Padang bungkus, mie ayam, and sate ayam w/ lontong (and a lemper ayam for the road :) ) Enak banget! read more

if you want to wait 45minutes for one order of moderate sate ayam in a late afternoon, feel free to go.

Amazing service and great food with major flavor. Highly recommend the Es Doger with Tape dessert.

What can I say? Indo food is the best food hands down and Java bistro doesn't disappoint. When we visit California we like to go through Ontario airport to eat here first. read more

So glad we made it right before closing time to get some of our Indonesian snacks and seasonings on New Year's eve. They were close to wrapping up but they let us into the shop next door (Village Mart). We were allowed to pay on the restaurant side. And just thankful for the amazing staff that was kind enough to let us in last minute! Thank you!! read more

I ate Javanese fried noodles here a few months ago and they were delicious, but for some reason just a few days ago I ate here and the taste wasn't as good as before, or maybe I've changed chefs or something? read more

Horrible service. Worst service for any Indonesian restaurant that I have ate at. It took more than 30minutes for our food to come out. The food was basic (nothing extraordinary, average quality for taste) and definitely not worth the price. Way too overpriced for a such a small portion of fried rice. Ambiance was okay. Not enough room to enjoy your food since there are not a lot of dining tables. The female hostess at the front was very rude, had a negative attitude, was unprofessional and poor communication skills. She was in such a rush to dismiss any questions we had about the menu. Somebody asked for two Thai chilis and she only gave me one. Her reasoning was one is enough for any dish or pastel/risoles/eggroll. She was very stingy with giving any thing. Will never come back here again. read more

The food was amazing the customer service was wonderful they treat you like family at this establishment

This update is loooong over due. Java Bistro has been my spot, not only they are close by, but their food is to crave for. Customer service been waaay better. Love the people that works there but mostly the food they got me drooling for. read more

Haven't been here since before Covid. Love walking into the restaurant and see that they opened up a small market next door with lots of Indonesian products as well as local street foods. I ordered flat noodles that ate like Thai pad se wee but better. I love Indonesian hot sauces too. Also ordered and shared gado gado salad with rice cakes, a vegetarian croquette and Something like empanada.. and my dessert drink Chendol. Picked up beverages & indo snacks and desserts. Service was nice. Glad went early - after 1p it started getting busier. read more

This no-frills joint puts out some of the most delicious Indonesian food in SoCal, and is probably the only Indonesian restaurant in the Inland Empire! I'm Indonesian and I highly recommend nearly everything on the menu. I especially loved both the noodles with spicy ground chicken and stewed coconut spiced beef. Delicious! read more

Walked in and it was packed. Good sign! Authentic Indonesian dishes that fill the menu with some pics. I had clear soup not overpowering with spices that had a good even flavor. The satay was awesome with the rice. It was tender and not overly savory. Just good enough. I don't know exactly what else was on my plate but it was all good. I think it's great that all these people found their way here to support a small business. It has a family feel to it which is nice. This cafe is also connected to an Indonesian market that sells fresh baked treats. If you're in the area and craving a taste of Indonesian cuisine. Drop in for a taste. Mel M Yelp 19:51 read more

Please do not waste your money or time here. I was born in Indonesia so its very rare to find a good restaurant that reminds me of home cooking. This location is something promising. They have a vast menu and specialities as well. But every time I come here to pick up an order I always get terrible service. Today I called an order at 2pm on my work break for mie goreng babat pedas, fried noodles with tripe spicy. I get off work at 240pm drive down the street to the restaurant to pick up my order and the lady in the front asks me what i want to order after I told her I phoned an order at 2 and I'm ready to pick up. She replies saying the cook is on break til 4pm. How can you conduct a business like this? Please advertise that you don't have a cook between certain hours. Also if you can't sell me my order don't take my order. This place is a joke I hope they shut down soon. read more

Good food when I miss Indonesian food. Bakmi Jamur is the best. The little store is also amazing .

If you want authentic Indonesian food, this is the place to go! A small hole in the wall for sure attached to an Indonesian grocery store if you ever want to pick up some Indonesian groceries like Cassava. Mondays are closed! I've tried several dishes from here and the quality is always on point. I leave here happy and full each and every time. They're most well known for their rice dishes in the banana leaf. It's full of different flavors that burst in your mouth-- a very traditional dish. It can get a little salty. I recommend ordering more rice. I always have leftovers so I bring it home. The batagor is awesome-- It's topped with these light shrimp chips and hoison peanut sauce. This hearty portion of fried fishcake/pork/tofu is one of my absolute favorites. Service is great and they make you feel at home. Parking is abundant shared in a plaza. read more

The schedule says closed at 8pm. We got here at 7:30 and they said they're no longer taking orders. What don't you fix the business hours bone heads. Waste of time driving an hour to just be given the wrong information. WTF OWNER AND MANAGEMENT FIX YOUR HOURS ON THE DOOR IDIOT! read more

I love the Indo fried rice. My kids love the rice, chicken satay, the little sticky rice patties w the sauce. My husband loves the food. He's Indonesian so it's nice to get a taste of home and introduce our kids to their cultural foods. This location is not as far from where we live. I don't know of many Indo food spots my husband likes but this one for sure is a winner winner chicken dinner. read more

We have been coming here for years. We have tried many different dishes. And never disappoint. Everything is so good. The best Indonesian restaurant. The food are reasonable price compare to other Indonesian places. That's why every time we come to my friend in Riverside we always come here to eat. But the snacks on the table are very expensive. But all the food here is very good read more

Their foods are very good and reasonably, the size is good, taste very good. Would definitely come back another time.

Really really amazing Indonesia food great and wonderful service also great ambiance

We were disappointed that the oxtail soup was not on the menu. The lady in the front who took the order was helpful but a little lost when taking orders. It was lunch time so it took some time for the take out orders. There were a few customers there, not too noisy. The mushroom chicken noodle was good as usual, the grilled chicken with rice was a little dry. The special fried rice was my second choice since the oxtail soup wasn't on the menu. It was a little on the dry side. I see shrimps and some chicken meat pieces? It could use some egg pieces on the rice to be colorful. read more

Honestly one of my favorite restaurants in the IE and one of the best balinese places in CA. I've tried some other balinese places around and they're not as good. I've had the es cendol, gado gado, mie goreng jawa, nasi bangus jawa, nasi bangus padang, longtong sayur, chicken satay. (I've been to the restaurant many times pre- & during covid) The regulars I order are nasi bangus padang & longtong sayur. so guuud. nasi bangus padang has spicy elements! Longtong sayur reminds me of laksa (but different). love the fried chips they give you to pop into the soup. and the rice cakes--let those puppies soak in the soup for a long time for maximum deliciousness. read more

Growing up in Malaysia, it is very hard to find similar cuisine in the area, but Java Bistro has great Indonesian food. We ordered the ayam goreng with rice, fried tofu and fish cake, and the chicken satay. All three were super great, and the fried tofu even came with keropok. The sambal was also delicious, and they even sell it in containers for you to take home! The market also has really great selection and has a lot of items that 99 ranch even does not have. read more

There is nothing better than when a friend introduces you to their culture. I've always loves instant indo noodles but coming here, it was a next level experience. There is a sweet little market attached to it. I ordered the fried fish which reminded me of my grandmas cooking in the Philippines. My friend got the fried chicken and rice and it also came with their tamarind soup. For dessert, we got the mixed fruit dessert. I've never had fermented cassava. It was delicious. They were definitely busy and only had one server. The market is so great and I picked up a few items to cook at home. read more

This place is not bad. It's 3.5/5 for me. The food takes so long to come out. I came with 2 others and only one dish came out at a time. By the time one was done with their food is when the next dish for 2nd person came out. I'm guessing there's only one cook back there. The concept of colorful food presented in a banana leaf is pretty cool. Their rice was flavorful. The meat inside was like a rotisserie chicken marinated with something. There was a soft boiled egg with chilies inside and also some moist vegetable that looked like kale but tasted okay. When they serve this dish, you have to remove the rubber bands and open the leaves then spreading your rice. I also had the house special noodles. It tasted like siu mai and chow fun rice noodles. I ordered it dry so the soup came on the side. This dish was good and the soup with beef balls tasted like pho. read more
