    Ayam Bakar
    Allyson L.

    I was only in Salt Lake City for a weekend but this place was the best meal I had! Their ayam bakar is chicken in a special sauce with pickled cucumber salad and wow. I had one bite and there was a flavor explosion in my mouth! It was SOOOO good with rice. I would come back just for this chicken. Just sooo delicious. I'm so glad I decided to come and order food here. It's nice you can order online for pickup since I had my dog with me. I could run in to grab my food and I was out right away. I also had the roti and that was so good as well. Nice and crunchy and went well with the sauce it came with. HIGHLY recommend getting food here!

    EAT HERE! I love to try new places, but Makanmakan has been a years long standby. It's excellent every time I eat here without fail. It's not close to my end of the valley but the commute is absolutely worth it when I'm in need of a meal that will be delicious every time. I've had the chance to explore the menu over the years and I have some favorites, definitely the chicken wings and the sweet and spicy pork ribs are at the top of my list. The ribs are always tender with a sweet crispy glaze, the flavor is perfect and consistent every time. Fast and friendly service, it's very clean, seating for small parties but it looks like some tables can be pushed together. It's not loud and I've never needed to wait for a table. I'm always amazed how quickly the food comes out. The pricing is very reasonable, beers are $5.50 each, just a great product for a great price. Worth trying everything on the menu!

    Ayam Penyet

    YES order the duck ahead and YES it is worth it haha. This place has really gotten better with time. If you haven't had Indonesian food, come here and try it!! You won't find another restaurant like this unless you're on the coasts. The duck with the homemade sambal was too good and I honestly stuffed myself way too full haha. Other dishes we always get are the cah kangkung, gulai kambing, nasi goreng Jawa, and gado-gado (some indonesian classics!). And try some Indonesian style tempeh. As someone who's been to Indonesia many times, I can say this is the closest you'll get to the real flavors and dishes! Service is always fantastic and fairly quick. And inside is well-lit with natural light and has a lot of seating! They also sell some Indonesian shelf-stable foods inside, so take a look at those too!

    I've been here several times and this place doesn't disappoint. Hailed as an Asian street food restaurant, Makanmakan highlights an Indonesian centric menu. Casual atmosphere, sit down dining service. Kitchen is open so you can watch them cook if you like. I've had the wings and would recommend again. This visit I ordered the Martabek Talor as an appetizer. It's like an egg and meat omelette filled inside egg roll paper, but presented and served handheld style like a walkable crepe. Crispy outside and flavor filling. I could see myself walking through a night market in Asia eating this. For entrees, I tried something new for me. Spicy fried chicken. It's literally half a chicken that's cut up quartered, fried and covered in this delicious spicy sauce. I was a bit skeptical since it was a sambal sauce, but it was a good surprise. This can be a messy dish, prepare to eat with your hands and should only be ordered if dining with someone you're comfortable with. The other dish was Crispy Noodle dish. This has been a reliable go to. A huge portion, be ready to share or pack leftovers. A bed of fried crispy egg noodles, covered in a flavorful sweet soy gravy and variety of protein and vegetables. The surprise of the dish is this breaded and fried fish. Crunchy outside, moist inside, and tasty. If you're looking for a change on the typical Asian cuisine, I'd recommend this spot.

    Combination plate So so, so yummy love the options
    Tayjah M.

    Loved everything about this place! One of those I want to keep eating but literally can't We got the lumpia appetizer did not disappoint super super crispy I got the combination plate. It had a bite of everything, but I think the winner was the chicken curry. And the noodles were so good and it comes with rice! Can't believe this place has been here for this long and I've never tried it. Will be back

    Red Curry Fish, Roti Canai, Ayam Penyet, Nasi Goreng Jawa
    Ryan H.

    This was a solid find! Legit Indonesian food and they have a mini mart to buy authentic Indonesian snacks, chilies, etc. Highly recommend getting the ayam penyet and red curry fish! The chicken was a massive portion, they gave us a half chicken and the sauce was spicy and extremely flavorful! Red curry fish was fried but still crispy in the delicious curry sauce.

    Martabak Telor
    Stephen B.

    Passing through Salt Lake City and was looking for something to eat when lo and behold, we found an Indonesian restaurant--and a pretty good one! Started with the Martabak Telor as an appetizer. It was good, though the curry flavor was a little stronger than I remembered in Indonesia. We then ordered the Family Makan, which comes with seasoned steam rice, krupuk goreng (fried shrimp chips), mie goreng (fried noodles), and your choice of two entrees. We went with the Ayam Bakar Bumbu Rujak (spicy grilled chicken) and the Cah Kangkung, a stir-fried vegetable dish that was so tasty, even my teen boys loved it. That was our favorite dish, highly recommended. We also ordered the Nasi Goreng Jawa (fried rice), which turned out to be our other favorite dish thanks to its aromatic "wok-breathed" flavor. Service was prompt and friendly, and the place had a casual but cool and welcoming vibe. I wish this place were closer to home because I'd definitely become a regular.

    You want feel full? Order this Sego Bungkus.

    Whenever I crave for Indonesian food in Utah especially in Salt Lake City, I know where to go. Worth the price, the food is "Maknyuss" slang word from Bahasa means delicious.

    Thai Ice Tea
    Kevin T.

    Food: Very tasty food! Was missing a little bit of home today and my partner and I decided on Asian food. This place has a variety of noodles, soups, and rice options. We ordered rendang and mie babi bali. The rendang is the braised beef stew that comes w a scoop of rice, very flavorful and has a deep beef stew flavor. The mie babi bali was sweet and the pork belly was pull-apart soft. The pickled cucumbers really freshen up the dish. Service: We came in around 7 pm and were seated immediately. There was plenty of parking in the lot. The waiters were very helpful! Ambiance: It's very clean inside and plenty of tables available. They have a mini market inside with Asian groceries for sale.

    Rendang
    Melanie N.

    The food is fairly tasty and has pretty good portions. We ordered the Redang and Mie Babi Bali as our entrees. The Redang had good flavor and was paired nicely with the rice. The Mie was also good, but I just usually don't gravitate toward noodle dishes like this, so although it tasted fine, it wasn't spectacular either. We also got the thai tea which looked promising, but was kind of watered down and I could definitely pass on this drink. Service was quick and staff were attentive. Theres ample seating and no wait when we came in for dinner on a Monday night.

    Crispy Eefoo Mie
    Kaelin H.

    Stopped by here for a nice lunch on a Monday afternoon and it had a decent amount of people there for a lunch break. Service was prompt and friendly as well. We ordered the sweet spicy pork ribs and crispy noodles with a thick sauce. The ribs had a good flavor but were pretty salty so they definitely need to be accompanied with lots of rice. Overall they were a 3/5. The crispy noodles were pretty tasty with a great textural differentiation between the thick sauce, toppings, and noodles. I thought there was a lot more sauce to noodle ratio though so that got a little overly salty when the noodles were running low on the plate. I thought they used high quality ingredients and had lovely developed flavors. But I think the dishes were a little over salted so they might just need to tone that down a bit. Overall a good experience and would like to try their other dishes for more comparison.

    Mie Tek Tek
    Elizabeth Y.

    Amazing food! I was so happy with the food here. We got roti canai, mie tek tek, and Thai tea, and the food was so flavorful, the portions were generous, and everything was cooked just right. The roti canai came with amazing flaky + soft roti, and the dipping sauce hit the spot. The noodles were also amazing, and I loved the contrasting texture of the crunchy topping with the perfectly cooked noodles. And the fried egg was the star--I haven't had an egg fried this way before, and it hit the spot! I need to learn how to make a fried egg that is similar to a gently poached egg on the inside.... Highly recommend! If I lived here, I would totally eat here all the time :)

    One of the best Thai Iced Teas I've had!

For many years they occupied a detached building facing 7200 south. But a couple of years ago, they moved into the strip mall directly to the south of their original location. Their spice levels can be off the charts so I'd advise starting with a level 2 of spice. Otherwise the food can be overly spicy. I recently tried their Swai Choo Chee, a white fish in the catfish family. It was really flavorful and the curry in which it was served was a change from the usual green curry I typically order. The staff is friendly and very polite and being Thai natives, they know how to make the food correctly. I will continue to support Chabaar when I'm in Midvale and only wish it was in an area closer to my home.
