    Matcha Strawberry

    Padi is phenomenal and a fantastic first impression of Indonesian food. My favorite item was Octopus Sambal Matah - incredibly cooked octopus with tangy and spicy sambal and a hint of Hawaiian black salt. Please have pandan tiramisu though! I was so sad it ran out and I couldn't try it. Parking *can* be tricky. There's spots on either side of where the building is with 2hour parking spots; some are free and some you need to pay for. However, if you see the giant orange parking sign that's parking-structure-like, you can park there. You park in whichever number you want, go inside and let the parking guard know and you'll pay before you leave. Free parking within the first hour, $5 the second, and $10 the third. The restaurant is small but lovely and calm. It seats about 30-40 people. There is only 1 restroom available FYI. Glad I got to try them out for DineLA. Staff was very kind, welcoming, and patient. I definitely plan to come back and/or visit their other restaurants (Iki Ramen and another that starts with H... Japanese food!).

    Grilled Yellowtail Collar Dinner
    Erica T.

    My boyfriend has been raving about Padi and their beef short ribs for months, so when he finally took me, I had high expectations and they absolutely delivered. As someone trying Indonesian food for the first time, I was blown away by the flavors. The menu offers familiar dishes with an Indonesian twist, and everything was beautifully plated. My favorites were the chicken satay and the beef short ribs, but the jumbo shrimp and grilled fish collar were also incredible. A special shoutout to our waiter for bringing us the charred eggplant to try. It's not something I would have ordered myself, but now it'll be a must-order every visit. The service was exceptional, the staff was warm and welcoming, and the restaurant itself is elegant and inviting. Padi perfectly balances culture, presentation, and amazing flavor. I can't wait to come back!

    The Pandan Kopi Gula Aren
    Jessica G.

    Indonesian food's finally making its way to Hollywood and being an Indonesian just meant I gotta try it. The vibes were more like contemporary Indo resto than anything traditional. Visiting with my Indo friends and coming early noon, right before the venue got busy. They seemed to have limited people serving, but pretty quick serving time. As recommended, we went family style and shared plenty of stuffs from the menu. Gado gado 7/10 Sate Tempeh 7/10 Charred Eggplant 8.5/10 Oxtail soup 6.5/10 Pork Jowl 6/10 Beef Shortribs 7.5/10 Grilled yellowtail collar 7.5/10 Bubur Ayam 6.5/10 Bakmi Ayam 6.5/10 Kopi Gula Aren 5.5/10 The Pandan 7/10 From the foods, I felt like must-try appetizer would be their Charred Eggplant, which did surprise me by how tasty it was. Perfect texture for the eggplant and the seasoning was just so rich, literally felt like melt in your mouth. As for the main dish, the shortribs were pretty good, with very tender beef and good balance better lean meat and fats. Would prefer the chili sauce to go spicier though. The Yellowtail Collar was another flavorful one and certainly made me miss having grilled fish back at home with that unique sweet savory sauce. More iconic Indonesian brunch dishes would actually be the Bubur Ayam (chicken porridge) and Bakmi Ayam (chicken noodles). They were both decent, but the seasoning and flavor probably weren't as bold as those back home. For drinks, would recommend The Pandan, if you're down to try signature Indo flavor as they used Pandan milk. The coffee indeed wasn't that strong, but the pandan's more of the highlight. That's also the reason I was just okay with the Kopi Gula Aren as it's bit milky for my preference.

    Cookies! :)

    One of my favorite meals I've had in awhile. Really cute atmosphere and they're also a coffee shop. The server was so nice and very attentive. *Hamachi/Yellowtail collar - this was cooked to absolute perfection. The skin was so crispy and the fish was so tender and moist. The sweet garlicky soy glaze was addicting and paired perfectly with the sambal that it came with. *Sate Ayam - the chicken is dipped in a delicious marinade, grilled so there were some crispy edges and topped with this incredible peanut sauce. My picky 2.5 year old gobbled this down - we had to order 2. *Gado gado - such a refreshing salad with a variety of textures and an incredible peanuty flavors from the dressing - love the crispy shallots on top *Octopus - tender/soft, just the way it should be cooked, dipped in black salt and it came with our favorite sambal of the night. Our toddler was a bit of a monster, but they were so kind to him. At the end the owner (I think) brought out some cookies for him that he wouldn't share and inhaled. We would love to come back and try their breakfast/lunch menu!

    Oxtail Soup Dinner
    Rachel L.

    "God bless Indonesia!"- Brilliant Indonesian tapas style eatery, clean cozy and laidback ambience. FOOD Octopus Sambal Matah Dinner (4/5): Starting off with grilled octopus as starter, this is part of their dinner small plates menu so portion is on the smaller side. Love the Balinese sambal, it also comes with lemon and salt pepper to pair with as needed. Love the citrus touch on it, delicious, pretty standard octopus starter. Beef Short Ribs Dinner (4.7/5): Pretty delicious! Wish there are more cucumber or greens on the side to pair with. The beef is very tender and flavourful, love the west sumatran green chili sambal with it. It's cooked very tender and soft, nothing struggle to eat, meats come off easily. Nice. Oxtail Soup Dinner (4.5/5): Jakarta-style slow braised wagyu oxtail broth with warm spices and herbs. It's my 1st time trying Indonesian style oxtail soup, it's very rich and aromatic. The beef is very tender, it comes with big chunks of bone. I'd say it's slightly harder to eat, comparing to the beef short ribs dish. The taste is like if Korean Galbi Tang, Viet Pho, and Taiwanese beef noodle soup had a baby- this is it. A heartwarming soup to have for dinner. Grilled Yellowtail Collar Dinner (4.8): Nicely grilled fish! I love the sweet soy glaze on top of it, it elevated everything. I only had Cantonese sweet soy before, the soy in here is thicker- more of a caramel sauce texture. Delicious. One of my fav dish here for sure. We also got jasmine rice with the food, it makes everything better. Keep in mind rice here is separate order, it doesn't come with the dishes. AMBIENCE & SERVICE Cozy, warm wood eatery. Our server is very friendly and gives the right recommendation. He's attentive when we needed takeout boxes and water. It's a laidback spot for a casual weekday dinner or chill date night. Nothing fancy or too serious. There's no loud music, so you can hold conversations for a group dinner or with a date. OVERALL Everything we had is delicious and comforting. The dishes in here are on the smaller side, so it's kinda like a tapas style setting. Which is good if you're new to the cuisine, you can order a bunch of different things to try out in a group dinner. In terms of the portion: what we ordered is dinner for 2, and we had some leftovers. I'm looking forward to try the hamachi and their pandan desserts/ crafted drinks!

    Sate Ayam Lunch

    padi was a finely executed restaurant of Indonesian flavors for an American palate, being that it isn't as spicy as many other traditional Indonesian restaurants. overall it was amazing tasting food. the mocktail was unique and the eggplant was a must try. It was on the pricey side but about what I expected for a dining experience in Hollywood. between 6 people we paid $250 and their dishes are meant to share as indicated on the menu! the staff were friendly and efficient and were able to answer all of our questions. the restaurant itself can seat about 20 people comfortably and there's is a restroom available. As far as parking it is mostly surrounded by metered street parking (we paid $1/hour on a weekend).

    Worth the visit. Very aesthetic place and the food matches the aesthetic. Limited hours so plan accordingly. Service was very friendly. The tempeh was my favorite. Wish it came w/ 20 pieces! We had the whole place to ourselves around 11:45am on a Monday. Sate Tempeh: 4.5/5 (my favorite, best flavor) Sate Tofu: 4/5 (tempeh had more flavor) Jasmine Rice: 5/5 (can't mess up rice haha) The Pandan Iced: 4.5/5 (smooth)

    Jasmine Rice Dinner

    The Indonesian food here was pretty mid (okay). It wasn't terrible, but it was giving gentrified Indonesian food. My friend from Indonesia I came with also agreed as well. We both shared the following dishes: - Hamachi Dabu-Dabu: The best of the dishes we had. I liked the tangy and spicy flavor of the fresh fish. The fish was pretty stringy though. - Sate Tempeh: Th texture was good, but I wasn't the biggest fan of the flavor. - Beef Ribs: I liked how the meat was tender, but wasn't the biggest fan of all the fat. The flavor also could've been better. The dinner was tapas style so the portions were on the smaller side. However, the price paid for them was not worth it in my opinion besides the hamachi. The interior was nice with the mood lighting. There was a decent amount of tables and chairs, but I would recommend making a reservation in advance. The server we had was super kind, attentive, and explained the menu items to us well. Overall, I'm not sure if I would come back here for dinner but would be interested to try the cafe and day menu items.

    Delicious modern Indonesian food! -- with elevated ingredients and casual vibe... We ordered everything on the menu! My favorites are the shrimp appetizer, BBQ ribs and grilled fish collar. The pandan desserts is comfortable close for our meal. Great friendly service...

    Finally was able to make it here, went in right when they opened, and had the Bakmi Ayam, this is the chicken, noodles, broth. It was really delicious, great flavors. And the noodles were cooked to perfection. Wish it came in a larger bowl because it was kind of hard to eat from the small bowl. I'm posting pics of their hours, and also all of the menus are available during day time. I couldn't find information on which menu was currently offered when, so I hope this helps others.

    Looking for street parking was a pain or pay $20 right behind the store for public parking. Came on a Saturday night. Service was great. Restaurant was decorated super nice and small maybe around 6-7 tables of 4. Food I felt like was overpriced food for the bucks. I liked the green chilli that comes with the beef ribs but it felt like the beef ribs were not marinated enough that theres no flavor on the inside. Chicken sate and wagyu sate was delicious but only two skewer per order. We came here seeing the bubur ayam and bakmi ayam but that was only for lunch (I saw too many lunch pictures on google and on Yelp). Food does not come with rice. So if you order beef ribs ($32) you have to order rice ($3.50). All asians eat rice. So you're eating at around $35 per person unless you go cheap like us and have chicken sate ($8) or wagyu rendang sate ($18).

    Dine LA menu

    We went for dineLA and had such an amazing time! The food was incredible. Standouts were the corn that we ordered separately, the eggplant and the tempeh skewer but everything was amazing! The drinks were great and everyone was so nice. Tiramisu at the end was incredible. Definitely try!

I think I saw this place pop up on my social media which is how I got on my radar. I signed up for the newsletter and did a pre-order when they did a pop-up. I don't have a lot of experience with Bali/ Indonesian food, but this was such a fun, novel experience and the food was really tasty. I ordered nasi bungkus, the kueh lapis, and the es cendol. From their website, the nasi bungus contained the following.

The cendol is a nice desserty drink made of coconut milk, pandan jelly, red bean, and diced jackfruit. The drink reminds me of something similar in the Vietnamese culture. I was a fan. The desert was beautiful as well, and had such a fun look to it. I like the chewiness, and it was fun the peel the layers. The nasi bungkus itself was a nice combination of flavors and textures. I bought some of that chili stuff in a jar and added some extra on top. I liked that there was a kick, but not so much where I started sweating. The spice was a nice level. I got a little excited and ordered a lot of food and was totally full by the time I finished my items. Pick up itself was really easy. After you pre-order early in the week when they do a pop-up, there's a time window where you pick up - and in this case it was Friday afternoon - night. When I got there, they were friendly, and just directed me towards the counter, where they did final prep to give me my food. They even gave me some reheating instructions just in case. Super friendly and you can tell they put a lot of care into their product. I hope they have all the success in the world and would like to order from them again.

The curry broth was creamy, spicy, and packed with flavor. It came with shrimp, fish cake, tofu, egg, corn, bean sprouts, and noodles, so there was a lot in that bowl. There was actually an error with our order, but our server was so apologetic and immediately had the kitchen remake it. We didn't ask or complain, she just wanted to make it right. Really appreciated that. The Nasi Campur was great too. Rice with BBQ pork, Chinese sausage, fried chicken, and egg. Lots of different flavors on one plate and good if you want to try a little bit of everything. Roti Prata is always hard for me to pass up. Crispy and flaky on the outside, chewy inside, and that curry sauce they give you for dipping is so good. We finished that pretty quickly. Good food and even better service. Mistakes happen, especially at restaurants. How they handle them matters more to me, and our server handled ours perfectly. Would definitely come back.

Food came out quickly and was quite good. Singapore Laksa (6/10) - the curry was rather thin and lacking in flavor but maybe that's because it's intended to be more of a soup. I would've preferred rice on the side instead of rice noodles. Next time I would get the actual curry instead of this, but that is just personal preference Roti (8/10) - probably the best thing we had. It was simple but very delicious, flakey and decadent. The curry sauce was much thicker and paired along well, giving a sweet and mildly spicy flavor Nasi Campur (7/10) - the first bite was delicious, but gradually became more monotonous after each bite. I think the ratio of fried chicken thigh to the sausage and cha siu was slightly off, adding to the repetitive nature of the dish. Overall, it was still quite good

The people who I assume own the restaurant, working as both the waiters and chefs, were incredibly kind, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about what they serve. Since we were completely new to Indonesian cuisine, they patiently answered our questions and gave us great recommendations, which made the experience even better. This is exactly the kind of small business you want to support. The flavors were unlike anything I've had before, and I loved getting to try something so different. My favorite dish was easily the grilled fish. It reminded me of the Filipino grilled fish I grew up eating, so it had a comforting familiarity while still showcasing its own distinct Indonesian flavors. If you're looking for authentic Indonesian food or simply want to try something new, I highly recommend LaaLaaPan. I'll definitely be coming back to explore more of the menu.

    This place is so good! It's rare to find Indonesian/Malaysian food, especially on the Westside…read more This place doesn't disappoint! The sambal wontons were delicious and just the right amount of spice. It was the first time I had the Mie Tek Tek Indonesian noodles, which was like chow mein, but with unique spices that I enjoyed. The Cah Kangkung water spinach was also great. (It's like ong choy). While many of the main ingredients could be found in more common Chinese food, the spices were different and sweet and spicy in a Malaysian way. It was delicious and different. The service was really friendly and prompt. It's nice and modern inside. I liked the "antique" type plates which were cute. There's modern music and a cool hip vibe. There's a free small parking lot in front. I'll be back to try other dishes.

    I came here because it was one of the only halal options on Resy and ive went to the other…read morelocation, but i saw this was on Resy and it had an interesting menu. They had these pre-made tasting menu which has a variety of dishes and i absolutely love that option. Getting a small amount and tasting everything is exactly what I wanted So came here with my wife and got the more expensive tasting menu (the festival feast), and after tasting it, i think the other one would have been better. The best thing that we had was the lekker wings and the rest of the menu was decent but not amazingly flavorful. I would have preferred stuff like chicken satay. I was excited for the beef rendang but it wasn't as spicy or creamy as I expected, the flavor was muted. I would come here again to try something else though. Service was fast and attentive and the ambiance is nice for a good date out.

    We've visited this place a couple of times, and they always offer such a delicious variety of…read moreIndonesian food! They have so many different options, including rice dishes, sauces, fried chips, snacks, and Indonesian drinks. I actually think some of their dishes taste a lot better than some of the Indonesian restaurants we've tried in SoCal. Everything is always freshly made, and the flavors really remind me of home. My friends and I usually get the banana-wrapped rice with beef rendang or the chicken version. We also tried the nasi kucing with octopus, and it was really good! The only downside I'd say about the rice plates is that I wish they gave more meat and less rice, especially with the larger wrapped ones. The prices definitely aren't cheap for these meals, but the food does taste good. We also tried their fried banana topped with cheese and Ceres, and it was chef's kiss. It was so good that I regret not getting more! This is a place we always used to visit when we lived in SoCal, and we still make a point to stop by whenever we're visiting down there now that we've moved to the Bay Area. There are still so many other dishes from this place that I haven't tried yet, but I definitely will the next time I visit! Parking is first come first serve and it's free. Sometimes during the weekend, it gets packed. There are limited outdoor seatings in front of the shop and no indoor seatings. They have microwave inside for you to heat the food and water as well. I highly recommend checking this place out if you're ever in the area. If you're craving authentic Indonesian flavors that remind you of home, this is definitely worth a visit.

    Let's try some more Indonesian food for the first time. So let's see if they're pretty good eh or…read moreew. They have so many yummy looking options but This time I got their banana fritters, coconut dessert, iconic Nasi Padang, and turmeric rice plate to try. The banana fritters had a nice lightly crisp batter coating a slightly firm sweet a bit tart banana topped with some shredded cheese that didn't really taste like anything and some fun cocoay choco sprinkles. The coconut dessert was thick and had creamy coconut pudding, soft sago, pretty purple rice, chewy mochi balls, and perfectly sweet coconut milk. I got their special shredded beef nasi padang with the chili on the side and it had a bunch of stuff from fragrant flavorful rice, a fried boiled egg, a tiny bit spicy shredded beef, crunchy cucumber and peanuts, and a soft fluffy smooth potato croquette. Pure deliciousity. The tumeric rice plate also came with more of that yummy rice with some fun crunchies, a chili sauce, a beefy piece of beef rendang, slightly sweet savory bell peppery tempeh, fried chicken piece, and a hard boiled egg in some a bit spicy chili sauce. Everyone is so nice and hardworking and the food was super flavorful and had the perfect balance of sweet savory and a bit of spice for life. Overall this place is pretty good. Turmeric rice plate $20 Shredded beef wrap $18 Dessert $10 Fried banana $13

    I love this little mom‑and‑pop shop. Indonesian food isn't easy to find, at least not around here,…read moreso discovering this gem was such a treat. Since it's a small restaurant, it's always a good idea to call ahead if you're visiting close to closing time. The staff are incredibly kind and attentive, and the food feels like true home‑cooked comfort. Don't expect fancy presentation but expect good, honest, delicious food. Everything we ordered was great, but the standout for me was the fried oxtail. The curry‑based marinade was rich and flavorful, and the meat was fall‑off‑the‑bone tender. Such a satisfying dish. Overall, we had a wonderful meal, and I can't wait to come back and try more of their menu.

    We had moved from West LA and the Simpang Asia was pretty much the one place most people got…read moreIndonesian food (or Mr. Sate if you wanted more skewers). Since moving, we've been trying to find another Indonesian restaurant. This place had been on our list for awhile, but never went because it was quite a drive away. But now we are closer to here and we can say that it is amazing, authentic Indonesian food!! And if you need it to be halal then it is as well. We got the Nasi Bungkus and Chicken Sate. The portions here are very generous in my opinion. It's so flavorful and it has a 'homemade comfort food' feel. It's like I went over to a friend's house and got a really tasty home-cooked meal. I believe there's only 3 staff-members -- the owners who cook and then one lady who ran the front. All were very nice people and I feel bad I didn't get the name of the lady who works the front but she was funny and has a great personality. We definitely want to come back!
