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! read more

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. read more

"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! read more

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) read more

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. read more

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). read more

Excellent food and service by Louis!!! We had the gado gado, chicken satay, yellowtail collar, eggplant, pandan tiramisu. Wow 10/10 meal! Everything was cooked to perfection and plated beautifully. Louis was very attentive and kind. The yellowtail and eggplant dish is A MUST! The eggplant melts in your mouth and is perfectly charred. The umami of the miso or fermented soybean paste was chef's kiss! Everything was made and plated with intention and I highly recommend Padi! The ambiance was very relaxing and nice. read more

Came on a Saturday morning right at opening and we found street parking easily! There may also be a lot right behind the building. The restaurant is right next to Iki Nori and felt very spacious and modern. They have just one menu now and we got the Bakmi Ayam, Sate Ayam, Sate Wagyu with Rendang sauce, Gado Gado, side of rice and some Sambal! Also got the Pandan coffee which was strong! Favorite bites were the Gado Gado and Sambal. Other dishes were very good too, but I'd skip the wagyu rendang if you're looking for a more familiar renang dish. While the wagyu itself was good, it didn't soak up the sauce like in the classic rendang dishes. Service was very nice and they even packed up all of the few bites of leftovers that I still wanted to enjoy later! read more

Padi - Blueberry muffin, padan coffee - Indonesian Near Me - Los Angeles, California

We had dinner at Padi, the brand-new Indonesian restaurant in the heart of Hollywood, and it was an amazing experience. We ordered the prawns, octopus, chicken satay, ribs, and finished with the Pandan Tiramisu for dessert. Everything was outstanding--we loved the ambiance, the attentive service, the gracious owner, Renata, and, most importantly, the incredibly delicious food. Every dish was a 10 out of 10. My personal favorite was the Pandan Tiramisu. The aroma of pandan was wonderfully pronounced, and they took the classic tiramisu and transformed it into their own unique creation. We will definitely be back, especially for breakfast. We've heard so many great reviews about their noodles, chicken porridge, and drinks, and we can't wait to try them. read more

Padi on Sunset delivers a thoughtful take on Indonesian cuisine with a small plates approach that encourages exploration and family style. The gado gado was vibrant and well-balanced, while the oxtail soup brought slow-simmered richness. The grilled hamachi with sambal added a modern touch--clean, crispy, and layered with a touch of heat. A great place to experience a range of flavors in one sitting, and if you've never had indo food it's a great introduction. read more

Dropped by the recently opened Padi restaurant on Sunset Blvd. in Hollywood for an early dinner, as it was on my list to try this Indonesian place, and it did not disappoint: the scallop crudo and chicken satay were both tasty - the raw scallops were pristine + lovely plating. While the gado gado (which translates to "mix mix") was nicely composed, the dish was over-dressed imho, so the salad became a bit mushy to my taste - still, the space is clean, service was pleasant & attentive = overall it was a solid experience - and I'm eager to return to try their congee dish (which is only offered during daytime hours). If you dig Indonesian food, I recommend a visit to Padi soon. read more

I was coming from schools and i heard there is a new Indonesia Restaurant nearby . Food is good However, portions are not big. for me , it was so little for the price. By the way, I really like Indonesia food. I like the bakmi (noodles) 18$and bubur ayam (porridge)15$. The satays are really good as well. My friends love the bubur ayam. I like the bakmi.

Padi is easily one of the most memorable Indonesian meals we've had in LA. The food feels home-cooked in the best way, like everything was made with intention instead of just being pumped out for volume. We ordered a spread for the table and every container we opened got that instant "wow this smells good" reaction. The noodles with the minced pork and mushrooms were super comforting and flavorful, not greasy, and the sambals on the side let you dial in the heat exactly how you want it. Even something as simple as the way it was packed and labeled showed how much care they put into the experience. The family demolished it. No leftovers, no picking at food, just everyone quietly eating because it was that good. That rarely happens. What really surprised me is that they take their coffee seriously too. Most places focus on one or the other, but here the drinks are not an afterthought. The iced coffee was smooth, strong, and balanced, and the cream-topped latte style drink was a huge hit at the table. It turned the whole meal into more of a hangout than just a quick bite. The space is clean, bright, and welcoming, and the service feels genuinely warm. You can tell they're proud of what they're serving. Great Indonesian food is already hard to find in LA, and Padi makes it even better by executing everything at a high level. This is the kind of place you bring your family to and everyone leaves happy. Definitely going back. read more

Stayed at the W Hollywood for work and walked here for dinner. The food was INCREDIBLE and the staff was so nice! I got the short ribs with the sauce on the side. The sauce was pretty spicy and the short ribs were delicious with or without the sauce, so if you don't have a high spice tolerance you'll still get an amazing meal if you skip it. There was a really good amount of food there and I ended up needing to save about half the short ribs for the next day. The ambiance in the restaurant itself was very chill - there was a group of college-age people in there just chatting at a good level. Will be back next time I'm in the area. read more

Padi Indonesian Restaurant is an absolute gem in Hollywood. I came in for lunch and ordered the bakmie noodle and chicken porridge, and both completely blew me away--honestly the best versions of these dishes I've ever had. The noodles were perfectly cooked with great texture and deep, savory flavor, and the chicken porridge was comforting, rich, and super flavorful in every bite. On top of the amazing food, they also serve great coffee and a really high-quality ceremonial matcha, which makes it an awesome spot to just hang out, work, or catch up with friends. The space itself feels modern, clean, and welcoming, with a relaxed neighborhood vibe even though it's right in Hollywood. The staff were friendly and attentive, and you can tell they really care about the food and the guest experience. I'm already planning my next visit and I *cannot wait* to come back and try their dinner menu. This spot is a must-visit if you love Indonesian food--or even if you're trying it for the first time. read more

Let me first start off by saying.. I rarely leave reviews. When I heard about this new Indonesian spot called Padi and saw the pictures of their Bakmi Ayam, I knew I had to come. Being the 2nd person to arrive at the store shortly after 9 AM (I know - I'm crazy coming in 9 AM on a monday), I was greeted by the team & Brody, one of the founders. The restaurant is exceptionally clean being able to see the staff in the kitchen & also working on drinks. You can tell they are very spot on about maintaining the restaurant. After placing my order for Bakmi Ayam and an order of the chicken satay, Brody suggested I try a matcha strawberry latte as well. They made it half sweet with oat milk for me and it was just perfect. When the noodles arrived, I almost cried. I had been wanting to try this ever since they opened. Before I even remembered to take a picture.. I mixed it up and took a bite. It reminded me from home (and I'm not even from Indonesia). The soup broth that comes with the noodles reminds me exactly of "gong wan tang" from Taiwan, one of my favorite soups ever. I kept telling Brody how good it was (no cap). He probably thought I was just being polite, but at this moment, Padi became my favorite brunch spot in LA and one of my favorite spots - period. The chicken satay is juicy and marinated/seasoned just right. The peanut sauce was perfect with just the right texture. I literally felt like I was transported to South East Asia. All in all, I'll be back any time I have a chance - probably more than I expect to! 100/10 stars for Padi. thank you for putting your hearts into this place. Absolutely love it! read more

The food was amazing! We ordered the short ribs, chicken skewers, and egg noodles and everything came out super quickly and tasted incredible. I have a pretty high spice tolerance, so I was pleasantly surprised by the nice kick in the green sauce on the short ribs, it added the perfect amount of heat. I also brought my pup in a tote bag, and the owner was so kind!!! Like offering water and even light salmon skin from the next door restaurant (same owners!!) for him, which I really appreciated. Great food and amazing customer service. Highly recommend! read more

The place looks very nice. Also, would definitely recommend to anyone. read more

Just tried Padi Los Angeles and wow such a great addition to the Indonesian food scene in LA The food was comforting, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The bowls were packed with generous toppings, perfectly seasoned meats, crispy elements for texture, and fresh greens that balanced everything out. You can really tell a lot of care goes into each dish. The soup was light yet deeply savory super comforting and perfect alongside the main dish. Drinks were refreshing and not overly sweet, which I really appreciated. Overall, Padi feels modern but still very authentic. Great flavors, good portions, and a clean, cozy vibe. Definitely a spot I'd come back to and recommend to anyone wanting to try Indonesian food or looking for something warm and satisfying. Highly recommended!! read more
