We ordered the Jackfruit Jalfrezi and the Daring "Butter chicken" with imitation meat. I normally am not a fan of imitation meat, but both dishes were overly. The jalfrezi had an incredible flavorful profile and I loved the tang of the gravy. The rice and garlic naan were good, but nothing memorable by themselves. My drink, the NA Indian detox was actually a smash hit. Service was friendly, but the bathrooms were surprisingly dirty/old. Maybe a byproduct of a busy day, but I definitely expect better for a restaurant at this price point (-1 star).

Seating area is cute, with TVs inside and outside. - Hainan Chicken: chicken was soft and juicy, but rice was a bit hard. It comes with 3 sauces and we liked the ginger-chili sauce the most! - Mee Goreng: reminded us of chow mein. A little greasy but good flavors.

My boyfriend and I have been wanting to try this place for a while and decided to order some for…read moretakeout. Food was ready promptly from the window of the ghost kitchen. I was disappointed. The char kway teow was too sweet and saucy, and because of that, it was lacking char on the noodles to give it that smoky flavor. To be honest, my favorite part of the dish was the Chinese sausage, which isn't even homemade lol. My boyfriend's bo luc lac lomo saltado was better. The flavor tastes like bo luc lac (Vietnamese approved), and the meat was perfectly cooked with nice color. The rice on the side was also perfectly cooked. However, the portion was skimpy on meat and heavy handed with the fries. Overall, I'd say the portion size was a bit small for the price point. I'd come back to try other dishes, like the chicken rice that other reviewers frequently talk about, but I was let down by our meal.

The prices are very reasonable, especially by LA standards, and the staff are friendly and attentive. Sadly, I have a peanut allergy, so I wasn't able to try the satay, but according to my friends, it was really good! I got the Soto Betawi though, and it was super delicious and flavorful. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely come back the next time I'm craving Indonesian food. I'd also recommend it to anyone in the area looking to give Indonesian cuisine a try.

It was crispy on the outside and the shrimp was slightly on the firm side and slightly savory. Nasi capcay included a lot of fresh vegetables. It had more liquidy sauce than expected . The veggies soaked up the liquids quickly and began to get a little soggy. However the veggies were savory. The dish could use more greens. NOTE: this dish comes with shrimp which was NOT disclosed in the menu. We specifically ordered veggie only. One party member wanted a veggie dish but could not eat it due to shrimp allergies. Let them know to cook without shrimp if you have shrimp allergies The Nasi bunkus was delicious. Traditional Indonesian food would typically have a lot more tumeric and spicyness but this dish felt more streamlined. You can ask for more turmeric and spicyness if you prefer. Also The chicken was flavorful but a bit dry. The Riice was good, flavorful and not greasy. Perkedelle was tender but did not have as much crispyness as other perkedelle that ive had. The potato inside was not as light and fluffy as expected (compared to other perkedelle) and was instead on the slightly dense side. It was still good. The Bakwang jagung, or corn fritters, were both crispy and a bit dense and sticky. It was savory and was not greasy at all. We liked this dish. Es doger was good BUT had tough meat husks in the drink. The coconut flavor and bits were a nice addition to the drink. The casava and condensed milk had the right amount without being overpowering. If not for the husks in the drink, i would recommend it. Es cendol was heavy on the condensed milk and slightly overrpowered the pandan jelly and bits of jackfruit. It was ok. Overall this restaurant is an option for the area if you are looking Indonesian food.

Colony has both inside and outside seating which looks so cozy. Since I was in a hurry, I had mine to go. When I got home, I was very surprised to see how big their portions are. That explains why I thought the bag was too heavy. I had the Grilled Chicken Steak with Black Pepper Sauce and a side of spaghetti. I ate half of everything and ate the other half the next day so you can actually split it with another person. Everything was so delicious including the lemon tea I had. I was pretty satisfied and I can't wait to try other items on the menu.

We had the baked pork chop so food took about 20 / 25 minutes or so to come out. Tasted just like childhood! Milk tea also tasted very familiar. I was happy about these two items. The grilled chicken with black pepper sauce was just so so in comparison. Gave it 3 stars because there were flies flying around the patio. Covered trash cans might reduce this problem a bit. Price is also on the higher side. $6 milk tea was not very worth it. And they charged you some sort of fee (see pic) that I wasn't aware of, did not expect extra fee when ordered at the location and not doordash.

My sugar sugar and I were looking for a place to have lunch with our daughter and saw this out the corner of our eyes. We pass it all the time but never thought to stop. One thing I love is some good Thai food. I'm from Long Beach and we're know for Thai food! So I have high expectations!!! There's certain cultures that absolutely cook with love and Thai food is at the top of that list. The marriage of flavors are unique and divine. BKK101 does just that!! We were greet with warmth and offered to sit anywhere we like. Since our daughter is young they brought us a high chair and a kids cup to keep her occupied (thank you!). I love the look and feel of the place. Small but inviting. We ordered veggie spring rolls, shrimp pineapple fried rice, and yellow curry with tofu. The curry came with a side of white rice too! Spring rolls were delicious with the right amount of crunch but the sauce. The sauce. The sauce. Yummers! Almost licked the plate! Yellow curry with tofu was heavenly. The right amount of heat, flavor and veggies. I loved the potatoes and carrots and the baby did too! But the show stopper for me was the pineapple fried rice. Who would have thought cashews and raisins in some rice would taste so good!!!! It was cooked perfectly!!! Right amount of curry and veggies. I wanted it for myself but my mama taught me that sharing is caring. All items were piping hot meaning, they cook to order. (Chefs kiss inserted here) When I say this place was so good we actually went back a week and a half later and took another daughter with us. Got literally the same dishes cuz they were sooooo good!

Next we got the pad see ew with tofu. It was decent. Not bad at all, just nothing super special, but still solid and enjoyable. But the real standout was the crab omelet fried rice. Oh my god. 10 out of 10. That dish alone makes me want to come back. It was only $17 too, which is insane considering there's actual crab in it. You could taste that smoky wok char, everything was cooked perfectly, and it tasted super fresh. Easily the best thing we ordered. Overall, this place is super affordable, portions are huge, and honestly better than most Thai spots around. Also the service was amazing. Our waitress was so nice, attentive, and genuinely caring the whole time. 10 out of 10 for me.
