    Feeling nostalgic for some Indonesian food, I came across Nusa and instantly knew I had to try it. I had a couple mochi rice chicken rolls (lemper) and caramelized spice beef. I'm used to home cooked meals from my Oma (grandma) so I hold such food at high regards. The place was nice, petite, had seating in front. I was greeted immediately by a sweet woman who gave me a beeper after ordering so I could be notified that my food was ready wherever I was in the food hall. The wait for the food was about 8 to 10 minutes, which I believe was pretty quick, but on a busier night I'm sure it could take longer. The lemper sticky rice was "harder" at the ends, and the meat held no juice. It was a bit dry and the flavor got lost in the rice. The spiced beef was really good. The spices were dumbed down a bit, a little disappointing but It's understandable due to us being in California. I wish the plate had more vegetables vs rice and the leaves were taken out, but I understand their effort to display authenticity by leaving them in. Disclaimer I have an Indonesian background, and grew up around Indonesian food and spices. )

    Nusa opened recently next to The Calypso Rose in Emeryville's Public Market. Various decor thruout the venue. Offerings (Indonesian): small bites, big bites, sweets, drinks, desserts.. menus not all in one spot, easily to miss a few. Order, pd@counter. Food ready in 10ish minutes. Bites: Carmelized Spiced Jackfruit (vegan, 19) -similar to rendang beef (21) which was out. -intense spiciness not chili based. Flaky, layered spices of jackfruit has texture of finely braised beef. Portion small compared to actual beef rendang another patron later got. -jasmine rice was firm, fresh, slightly aromatic -comped freshly fried fritter crunchy, fad taste. Sips: iced rosella tea (5) -related to hisbiscus. Tea has antioxidant effects- Lowers "bad" cholesterol, inhibiting heart disease & blood vessel damage. -refreshing taste. No sugar present. Basil seed presence also beneficial. 4.5 stars would have preferred beef rendang or a salad instead. Quick, courteous service.

    This is one of the places in the Public Market in Emeryville. I got the beef rendang and the chicken rice ball. I caught them a bit before closing, but they still had what I wanted. The menu is not big, which helps to make a quick selection. After ordering, they tell you how long it'll take. Both items had really great taste. The chicken rice ball is just like the ones I used to get at an Indonesian restaurant in Hong Kong where I used to get desserts and snacks bites. The beef rendang came with rice and some veggies. All three items complemented each other well, and made a great overall dish. I overheard some people congratulating the lady at the counter for opening that location. It sounds like she already had a successful business elsewhere and this is an expansion. If you are at Public Market, it's definitely worth giving the place a try.

    I wanted to like this much more than I did. I really did. The people there are very nice and they seemed knowledgeable about gluten allergies. So I ordered the food after going through the menu. The woman behind the counter was very nice. However, the food I got was OK. The first thing I had was a chicken roll, which had chicken rolled in sticky rice. It was wrapped in a banana leaf. It was OK. The chicken was kind of bland, but the rice was cool. The best thing was the hot sauce that the woman behind the counter gave me. That was a good hot sauce. I had a salad and it was not fantastic. I could have made it. I wanted something kind of healthy, with red cabbage and carrots and green onions. But it wasn't great. It just tasted like cabbage and carrots. The dressing, was a white dressing, but it wasn't very flavorful. The cracker was supposed to be replaced with a garlic one, however, mine smelled of shellfish. I chose not to eat it. My husband had it and liked it, but he can eat shellfish. But for me, that would have been a huge issue for me. They also had a hibiscus dish that wasn't fantastic. It was OK, but OK isn't inspiring. I wish them well. I hope they figure this out, however, I know that I won't be back.

    The food were delicious! Taste were point on - beef rendang was tender and flavorful with all the spices, and it was on the moderate spicy level, fried rice was simple and tasty along with the fried fritter, and the Ketan Srikaya (Seri Mika, Kuih Salat) was delicious without it being overly sweet. Service was very good. Since this is my first time having their beef rendang, a personnel was able to allow me a small spoon of rendang for tasting before ordering which helps. The atmosphere of the location can be a little loud depending on when you go and what else is going on at the public market. But love the children size tables and chairs which makes it family friendly. Minus one star due to price of Ketan Srikaya was advertised as 2 pieces for $6.50 but we only check our receipt after getting home that it was for $7.50 (a dollar more). Which we would be ok with it but I think ensuring posted price and price charged would be helpful.

    Chicken skewers, braised beef rice dish in the back
    Jamie K.

    chicken skewers were pretty good, had unbeatable flavor. 5 skewers for $10 is a nice deal although the skewers were slightly skimpy - but they're like that in nature, and still juicy. They come with rice cakes that we honestly did not appreciate. Braised beef dish and the fried rice were so solid. food took a bit bc it was busy, and there was a friendly lady taking orders:)

    Soto Ayam with the Jasmine tea in the background.
    Melanie O.

    Delicious Soto Ayam (chicken soup). It was so filling and the hot sauce brought out all the flavors of lime and turmeric. I love that this place opened up. In addition to the soup, we got the rice cake and the Javanese salad. Everything here is legit. It reminds me of what the grandmas at church used to make. Try everything!

    The best Indonesian bakery in Bay Area! The staff are friendly and nice. The food and baked goods are excellent too. I can tell they are high quality. We ordered nasi goreng, salad, chicken satay, the sampler, and pandan chiffon. As Indonesians, we approved! We'll definitely will recommend this unique bakery to our family and friends :)

    So hard to find Indonesian food, but if you are in (or around) the Oakland area, this will fulfill your desire for Indonesian cuisine. The folks running this business were so nice and the food was amazing. It is in a public market, but it still felt cozy! I will definitely return next time I am in town.

    Left to right: Braised Tofu and Tempe, Chicken Satay, Beef Rendang.

    Best of the best. Couldn't stop eating until it was all gone- I highly recommend all of these dishes, packed with good spices and flavor :)

When I didn't hear anything via email or a call I called the office and spoke to Ben who apologized for the lack of communication and he would respond via email, which he did a few hours later. After several emails from Ben we were able to settle on a menu in just a few days! We were looking for a Hawaiian fusion themed menu and Ben & his staffto came up with a great menu. W Some of our many items that was a huge hit with our guests were Vietnamese vegan rolls, miso glazed black code, a toss green salad with Edamame and Asian dressing, crab deviled eggs, scallops spoon, chimichuri steak crostini, short ribs skewers, Asian style lamb meatballs, and dessert of fruit cups and mini cupcakes were perfect. There was a few dishes that wasn't as successful but overall everyone enjoyed the food. We had pre arranged to have someone to meet the catering staff early for setup but due to unknown delays they did show up until an hour before the service started which also ment they were rushed to setup the food but they did a good job to get the hot and cold foods setup before the end of the service. Overall they did a good job and the food excellent but arriving late to the event and poor timing to replenish empty dishes was disappointing also dessert wasn't served until most guest departed. We enjoyed working with Ben and appreciated the communication once it was established.

Honestly, I wish I hadn't wasted so much time exploring other options because City exceeded even my highest expectations. The party was at a nightclub in the Castro, and the delivery was perfectly on time. The customer service 1000%. They even provided custom cards for each dish so guests knew exactly what they were eating, a small but thoughtful touch that people really appreciated. We ordered brisket, pulled pork, chicken, smoked portobello mushrooms, barbecue sauces, mac & cheese, potato salad, and tossed salad. With an open bar, I didn't expect the food to steal the show, but it did. Friends and family were raving all night, , "Where is this food from?" The next day, my phone was blowing up with texts about the brisket, the mac & cheese, the works. (For the record: I'm extremely picky about mac & cheese, and City nailed it.) My cousin from the Midwest said that the portobello mushrooms were his favorite. The portions were so generous we had enough to host a next-day gathering to enjoy the leftovers, though the mac & cheese disappeared the night of the party so order extra! In a city like San Francisco, where great BBQ is rare, I only wish City Smoke House had a brick-and-mortar location I could frequent. This is a family-owned business that delivers in every possible way, and I'm beyond grateful to them for making my milestone celebration unforgettable. I hope they stay booked and busy. THANK YOU BRIAN and team City Smoke House.
