    Doesn't look like a great big establishment. But it fits quite a enough people inside. They have plenty of people coming in and out. I have ordered the white meat chicken with the 2 sides plantains rice and beans. So delicious!! You get your monies worth here. They are always pleasant and friendly. They have a small eating area with 2 tables. But for the most part everyone gets there food to go. They have a wonderful desert selection to choose from.

    If I could give a minus 5 stars for customer service I would. Today I placed an order for delivery and the some of the items were missing when I opened my order. I ordered chicken and also ribs and I only got the chicken and not even the right size. I never ordered rice and they sent me rice. I called them and from the minute I mentioned that my order was wrong they got so defensive and rude. The lady who takes the orders basically told me that she was too busy to be wasting her time talking to me. I requested to be transfer to a manager she responded that he was also busy and did not have time either. She was extremely rude. I offered to send pictures because at at point I felt that the least they could do as a business was to offer me an apology and she was screaming that they did not have emails, nothing where I could make a complaint. Never ordering from this place again. Very rude and unprofessional.

    Chicken drumstick with pita and bean salad

    I come here pretty often for dinner. They have decent portions. I like how the chicken tastes tender and juicy! I usually order the chicken drumstick, chicken thigh, and bean salad. If you like barbecue, then this is your place. Inside there is seating, but not for a huge group.

    Chicken wing zing sandwhich.

    This was our first time eating here. We got delivery last night. The person who took our order was very polite and the delivery arrived in a reasonable amount of time. Sam had the spicy chicken wing zing sandwich deluxe. I ordered a Diet soda and the sirloin beef kabob with yellow rice and corn. Sam tells me he liked the fries, but the patty wasn't what he would call spicy. (He adores spicy food btw.) It also didn't resemble chicken. It was a preformed breaded chicken patty. He had ordered extra "green sauce" which was, according to him "like tomatillo or salsa Verde combined with the chutney you get at your table in Indian restaurants." Since 4 tiny dipping cups of it came in the bag, we assume it is included with all deliveries in some quantity. As for mine? It wasn't what I ordered. A) I ordered "Sirloin Beef" and got chicken. B) The corn was so bland in its own right, that it tasted like the yellow rice it had been delivered with. C) The yellow rice was the most under-cooked portion of rice I can ever recall being served. After 3 bites I surrendered and simply couldn't eat it at all. D) The chicken itself had seasoning, but was so close to dried out as to be sad face inducing. Lucky for me I keep home made BBQ sauce in the house at all times! The pita bread was fine and plain as normal. All things considered, I'd MUCH rather eat from one of the local carts (like the one on 82nd/37th ave) where you get the same reasonable prices for bigger portions of better cooked food.

He's never had Shoyu based broth before, different but still good; I didn't try it since I was so full. Steak was tender. Seasoned well.. delicious. We prefer it more on the rare side but hot broth .. gotta eat it quick. Regardless of the temp., it still tastes great. I got an extra serving of noodles but I couldn't finish it but that was my only meal of the day. He also had a Yuzu lemonade .. really sweet, but L likes it that way. Our server was nice. Always filled our water and got our orders right away. We even ordered a Khao soi ramen for L since he's a big guy. Broth was strong..lil too much for me but I only had a taste but he loved it. We came back and ordered Steak Ramen again and I wasn't goin to eat at the restaurant since I was a lil nauseous from the Uber ride but our server brought me a bowl in case I wanted some of L's ramen. Well drinkin some hot broth and eating some noodles actually helped me.. my nausea was gone and I was able to enjoy the food! So we ordered a Black garlic Tonkotsu with spicy sauce on the side. L enjoyed it but I actually preferred the shoyu broth since it wasn't as rich. I didn't need the black garlic and spicy sauce. We also ordered a steak ramen and ebi curry to go since I was visiting my mom and I wanted her to eat some of the protein. The steak was very tender and she was able to eat it without reheating it even after taking about 20 mins to get there. She loved the rice in the ebi curry. The curry was separated which she can't eat anyway. Whenever L visits my mom, he wants to get a bowl of ramen.

BUT the food is still fantastic! Great Indonesian restaurant with an intriguing menu! This family run restaurant is smallish but can probably seat around 26 people. Probably not ideal for multiple large groups at the same time but we made reservations early, and easily got a reservation for 8ppl. These were our shared menu choices (shared by 4ppl): ~ Salad Daun Teh Hijau $14 (green tea leaf salad w.cabbage, tomatoes, beans & green chillies): tasty Indonesian version of the tea leaf salad! I prefer the Burmese version but this salad was pretty tasty! ~ Nasi Lemak Rendang $17.75 (Beef Rendang w.spicy egg, anchovy, pickles; w.coconut rice): the portion size of beef rendang was very small but this dish was probably not meant for sharing, and more of an individual plate. It was delicious, nonetheless less! The accompaniments were terrific!! ~ Nasi Iga Bakar $22 (BBQ Ribs w.white rice): after seeing an IG video, this particular dish was on our radar! As with most social media, it heightened our expectations but it did not meet those expectations. Don't get me wrong: this was still a delicious dish; just not as great as depicted on those dang videos. lol The ribs could have been cooked a tad bit longer for tenderness but the flavors were great! ~ Nasi Goreng Petai $19 (fried rice w.shrimp & stinky beans): I've never had this dish before and the "stinky beans" weren't Stinky at all! Hahaha The large shrimps in the fried rice were perfect. Tasty dish! ~ Mie Goreng Belacan $17.50 (stir-fried shrimp paste noodles): This was a fave dish amongst the group. So flavorful and satisfying! * Don't sleep on the two hot sauces provided on your condiments tray! The bottle of Sambal Asli hot sauce was great; slightly sweet but spicy! BUT... beware of the other nondescript hot sauce in the squeeze bottle...which was FIRE!!! If you can handle this FIRE, then go for it...otherwise, proceed with caution! Hahaha. You've been warned! Service and hospitality were great; friendly, welcoming and efficient. I look forward to a return visit to explore their many other menu items!

    First time was there back in December. I didnt review in yelp. I would gave them 5 stars. I went…read moreagain last night, and it wasnt as good. I would gave them a 2 star for yesterday's experience. First, the place was empty on a Friday night at 10:00pm. Probably have 3 takeout order while we were sitting down. The first time I went was on a weekday night back in December, and there were more patrons. Not sure if the place is going down hill, but they dont have slushies anymore. We had the mango slushies the first time, and the only drinks available was whatever bottle drinks they have in the fridge. Mind you, they dont serve you water, so you have to get drinks since the food is garlicky or spicy. We wound up getting the milk tea ice rice this time. It was ok. I never tried it, but the rice is a bit hard. I won't order again. Best dish is large eggplant. Very flavorable, maybe a bit too garlicky. Will order this again. Also, the chicken wing is huge, for the price of $3 each. Thats why we ordered 2 chicken wing this time. But, I think it wasnt grilled as nice as my first time. Still good since it is a lot of meat for the price of $3. Lotus root is also pretty good, glazed with sugar. The worst i would say is the lamb, a bit too chewy, lack of flavor. The bathroom has all sorts of postcard of famous album. I found that pretty neat. Lastly, I think the squid tentacles is much smaller than before.

    I couldn't be happier with my experience here…read more The service is friendly and the QR code ordering system is very convenient. It was so cold out the night I went so I was very happy they kept it nice and warm inside the restaurant. There's a very large selection of skewers, they have basically everything you could want. I especially appreciate that you can order just one of any skewer, unlike some other places where certain types only come in orders of 3 etc, allowing you to order a large variety even if you're dining alone. The seasoning was delicious, and every skewer was not coated in identical seasoning. None of it was spicy at all if that's what you're looking for, but none were lacking in flavor. The meat was juicy and you could taste the smoke from the grill. I loved the different textures of vegetables which were all well cooked. I'm still thinking about the crunchy exterior of the rice cake. I think my favorite skewer was the lotus root, which was perfecting complimented by the seasoning mix. An amazing meal! 16 skewers came out to less than $50. I look forward to returning!

Day before a blizzard, always is a great time for good eats. Aside from ourselves there was only 1 other couple, but again it's mid day before a blizzard. The restaurant is decorated perfect IMHO. Without being anything over the top I felt it was a very nice balance of dark, old, new and modern - where needed. I really liked the feel and the space. The food - finally my first momo platter. Again being a vegetarian it's hard to come by. It was insanely good. Nothing like ordering "dumplings" if U ask me. But so much more wholesome dough, filling, and fresh herbs. And the 2 sauces were intensely different from any other condiment I've ever had. We also ordered an amazing black tea with honey lemon ginger - my fav. And paneer chilli, and aloo timur. Both just as great with no oily, greasy, saltiness to it and fresh herbs and spices. At the end we caught up with some small talk with the young woman who served us and said bye til we come here again - debility for the jhol momo and the brunch platters next.
