I have tried two dishes here. The flavor and fragrance of…read morethe dishes were wonderful. Ayam Masak Lemak - Vims Butter Chicken was very tasty. It was right and creamy. There were 8 bite sized chunks of chicken swimming in a very yum sauce. Daging Kicap Mani - Beef cooked in sweet Malay soy spices. This was very aromatic, the beef was super tender and very tasty. The sauce was watery though and did not make a great topping for my rice. Roti Chanai - Malaysian non yeast bread. The Roti were good. This type of roti are small and fluffy. It was super oily but very tasty. (The do have the other type of Plain Dosa which are larger & thinner.) The prices were pretty high especially considering the good quality and choice of food around Randwick. Or for a short drive to Kingsford, the huge selection of really good places. I did not have a chance to try the dessert as I had take away. I may decide to go back and try the dessert but I think the experience would be more enjoyable sitting down at the restaurant. (It may also make the price more palatable.)

This restaurant is small, dark and cosy so I would suggest booking beforehand (boyfie and I waltzed…read morein at 8.00pm on a Saturday and scored the last table inside though so...) Firstly let me say that the seafood Char Keow Teow was incredible. I highly recommend ordering this dish as it was authentic and cooked to perfection although sadly this was the only dish we truly loved. Don't get me wrong, the garlic roti was crispy and delish but wasn't a full on garlic hit like I expected. When there is lamb on the menu particularly in a curry I'm all over it so we chose the Korma Kambing but unfortunately the lamb was not tender, had not been cooked for long enough and the curry itself was fairly boring. The curry laksa was also lacking; the dish is prepared with egg noodles which do nothing for me compared to a laksa with vermicelli. Both dishes were quite disappointing. Sadly our steamed rice never made it to the table but we didn't bother chasing it. I love trying new places but this is one we won't bother returning to unless it was purely for the Char Keow Teow.

We don't have a lot of Malaysian options in Vegas that seem authentic so I jump at the chance to have food like this whenever I can. I opted for the laksa with fried chicken and I wasn't disappointed. The fried chicken was juicy and really flavorful. The broth was lovely and authentic. The noodles were bountiful but the veggies were not. Sometimes the veg is my fave part so that made me a bit sad. Luckily, my partner isn't a veg fan and gave me the bok choy off of his plate. YUM! I got an order of roti myself because the Malay version is my absolute favorite. This one did not disappoint. Crispy, savory, tasty and oily in just the right way. We also had the roti platter with curry chicken. Really good. I love the sambal that's peanut and ikan bilis (fried fishies).

None of the workers that walked by informed us that we needed to order at the other register. Suggestion: put a sign that says "order from other register" or "register closed". We moved over to the next register and began to order. Niece attempted to order a meal with beef. The employee was so rude. She motioned her hand as if to go away and said "no beef" as she turned away. She didn't stay at the register to politely apologize. Upset at the type of customer service provided. We ended up walking up to another window and ordering Pho and Thai food.

In my eyes, this has to be one of the BEST INDONESIAN restaurants in Sydney. I have frequented this…read morerestaurant for the the past 30 years. Joe and his staff never fail to welcome you and take care of all your dining needs. It may not be the most lavishly decorated or cheapest - but it does have a most extensive menu and the best satay I have ever tasted. My favourite dish is the Nasi Rames. It is a total dish in itself with small portions of Beef Rendang, Fried Chicken, Gado Gado, Sambal Chilli Egg served with white boiled rice and a fried-shrimp krupuk. I highly recommend this! Ayam Serah: Deep fried Lemongrass chicken served with lettuce, cucumber and a spicy chilli sauce. Opor Ayam: Chicken cooked in coconut milk with galangal, lemongrass, cinnamon, tamarind juice, palm sugar, coriander, cumin, candlenut, garlic, shallot, and pepper. The restaurant is not large in size, so if there are a few groups in there, it may be hard to get a table. That shows its popularity! I recommend that a reservation is made - especially on the weekend nights.

She wanted Laksa and I was craving Bi Bim Bap and saw that they had what we both wanted. So she ordered her Tofu Laksa for 8 bucks and I got my Tofu Bi Bim Bap and it was only 7.9! Pretty good deal. The food only took a few minutes. You could use between three different sauces but I opted for the traditional sweet chili sauce. My food was fairly tasted, only thing I will say is that the egg was a bit overcooked, didn't ooze like it normally does. My friend enjoyed her Laksa but said it was boiling hot. We were both very full! Overall this place is good, lots to try on the menu and cheap! Will come back!

Not my all time favourite - but still genuine enough to get my patronage. The food is simple and…read morevery inexpensive. It is very popular (Th, F, Sa) with a short wait time usually between 6pm - 8pm. The restaurant takes your name on a list until a spare table becomes available. Usually you don't wait more than 15 minutes for a table. There are so many Indonesian restaurants in this area, that if waiting is an issue you can usually go to another restaurant if you wish. I go to this restaurant for the Javanese Fried Chicken called Ayam Bakar. Ask for the Breast piece (Dada Bakar) $6.50. I always eat this with a serving of Cah Kangkung $10 and a serving of white rice $2. Mix these flavours together for a true Indonesian dining experience. The chilli sauce provided at your table is very hot, so use sparingly. It can be mixed with sweet brown ketchup manis sauce. Another dish to try is the Nasi Goreng. It isn't the best fried rice I have eaten, but it is still tasty. Complimentary free water in a jug is available free of charge. There are many other different cold drinks available on the menu. My favourite is Jus Alpukat - this is avocado juice with sweetened condensed milk, and streaks of chocolate syrup down the sides of the glass. This place is worth a visit if you like tasty Indonesian 'Warung' style food.
