My friend wanted to come here after seeing it on some instagram post. We trekked 25 minutes in the…read moresummer heat from the downtown area to get there... The community of shops and restaurants here were fun to explore, but I wouldn't say this restaurant is a place tourists need to visit. They open at 11:00am and when we arrived at ~11:10am, we were the first customers there. The interior is a bit dim but sunlight from their narrow storefront helped illuminate the place. It smelled a bit musky inside too but not intolerable. I ordered the N11 and my friend ordered the N1. We shared an order of chicken satay. The chicken satay was underwhelming especially given how they market it as their top item. The meat was tender but not as tender and juicy as I was hoping. The satay sauce was sweet and peanut forward (not like peanut butter) which was nice but I was hoping for more umami. I ended up enjoying the cucumbers at the bottom of this dish more than the actual meat and sauce. I got N11 because I like eating laksa, but I also found the dish disappointing. It's alright but again not worth the hype it gets from others. It wasn't spicy at all, like maybe 1.5/10. The broth was mostly creamy salty flavor rather than full of spices. I know it doesn't have seafood explicitly in it, but the fish cakes and fish balls would do well with meatier broth. The fish ball and fish cakes weren't bouncy and tasted quite fishy. The tofu pieces weren't fresh but not spoiled to a point I needed to call it out. Maybe the only thing I liked was the texture of the noodles. My friend's N1 tasted more like a soy sauce based sauce. I didn't like that sauce nor the texture of her noodles, so I was glad to stick with mine. She preferred her's more too. She said the more she ate, the milddddd heat in her sauce accumulated and made it too spicy for her to finish the last bite. I didn't taste any heat when I tried a bite, but maybe it was too small. This restaurant also charges a surcharge for credit cards, so we paid by cash.

Seulanga Cafe is a homey neighborhood spot for some of the best Indonesian food. When you walk in,…read morethere's a few tables and shelves with goods for sale. It is buffet style, so all of the dishes are laid out on a food line and you order at the counter. I highly recommend the Nasi Padang ($14) as it was SO much food and everything was very delicious. The kale was cooked in coconut milk which was aromatic, creamy, and slightly spicy, but still retains that slightly bitter edge. The egg is coated in sambal which is definitely spicy but pairs so well with the rice. The beef was tender and fall apart and the sauce was thick and so flavorful. The chicken was also fall apart soft. The highlight of the dish was getting to eat each component with the coconut rice. The coconut rice is some of the best I've ever had!! It's hard to explain what it tastes like but it's the perfect blend of coconut, salty, sweet, and very savory. I would say it's much more traditional tasting compared to Sky Cafe (another popular Indonesian spot). They take cash/venmo/zelle (I think)! It is incredibly worth it for the price. Definitely want to support a smaller, local business!

Whatever you're craving, chances are they have it--from flavorful nasi goreng and refreshing rujak to sweet and savory cumi saus mentega and perfectly fried tahu goreng.

The menu is extensive and it's one of those places that instantly transports you back to Indonesia. This spot is absolutely worth the stop.

Overall Ratings Atmosphere - 5/5 Service - 5/5 Food - 5/5 Parking - Street Parking Atmosphere - The restaurant is on the smaller side with limited seating, but it feels modern and thoughtfully designed. I especially enjoyed the artwork throughout the space. Service - We had the chance to chat with one of the owners and learned they have only been open for a couple of years. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming, and I truly hope they continue to see the success they deserve. What We Ordered - -Chicken satay (Very good, with a peanut sauce that isn't overly heavy or overpowering like at some places) -Beef rendang (An incredible dish. We were both impressed by how rich and flavorful it was) Final Thoughts - I would definitely recommend visiting this restaurant if you are ever in the area.

We've walked past here many times but have never pulled the trigger, and we are so glad we did…read moretonight! They have been here for 2 years and 1 month as of April 2026. They have a pre fix menu mostly (it changes every month), but on Saturdays, they do the giant Liwetan communal eating, which is served on a banana leaf and meant to be eaten with your hands. Let me just start by saying that we are Hardena groupies. I have almost broken my phone screen trying multiple times to get my hands on a #notpizza box during the pandemic. This was the brainchild of Chef Diana at Hardena, and it was truly one of the only bright spots from COVID. Anyway, this is Chef Diana's own restaurant (her family still owns Hardena), and while the flavors and sambal (hot sauce) are very similar to Hardena, she makes Indonesian food truly beautiful with her creativity. The plating is that of a Michelin star / James beard winning restaurant. I mean, just look at this giant dumpling that is shaped so beautifully and then really imaginatively placed inside a red cabbage leaf in a bowl. I'm used to Indonesian food being served from a warming tray in takeout boxes so this really blew my mind. They serve three different sauces (2 sambals and a sweet one). Everything was spectacular, and the dishes keep getting bigger in the 5 course pre fixe (not including dessert, but this was a very nice size). Each dish was explained to us carefully and gently delivered by Chef Diana's wife. There are only about 6 tables so reservations are limited (and you pre pay). They do have a vegan menu, but you have to let them know ahead of time or else they have to scramble (which they graciously did tonight for a walk in). They also gave my mom tea when she asked for it, even though that's not something they normally offer. The interior is super cute and well-decorated, and that pink neon sign really shines nicely through the window. I will have to try to resist temptation every time we pass this (which is often), but I'm already thinking about when we can go back! Don't sleep on Rice & Sambal!

We noted "vegan" in our reservation and they were ready for us when we arrived! The menu for this small family-owned spot changes every month, and we tried the June menu. They present five fixed courses for dinner, and the service was warm and welcoming. We were blown away by the whole meal! I enjoyed every single dish, and my husband who usually doesn't love vegan food also enjoyed every dish. The flavors were bold, flavor-packed, tangy, and spicy. They also give you three unique hot sauces to accompany your meal, all of which had a delicious kick. Our faves of the June menu were Soto Kaldu Kering (house made noodles, lemongrass tofu scramble, bean sprouts, chives, ginger & galangal coconut oil, lime) - absolutely delectable chewy noodles and savory scramble and so much flavor - and the Sambal Caesar Salad (grilled romaine, vegan sambal caesar dressing, tempe crouton crumbles, grated housemade vegan cheese, shallots) - a suprising favorite, but the flavors were just so mouthwatering with a kick from the shallots, spice from the sambal, crunch from crouton crumbles. Highly recommend Rice & Sambal - we would come back to try another month's menu.

There's not a lot of places, especially in LA area that have savory Martabak, but this one nails it. I was only doing day trip to Philly so I was able to place a pick up order and they were very nice to have me pick up way after the opening hours because I was running late. Just keep in mind that they made it fresh so it's better to call couple hours in advance for them to make your order. I would say 3 to 4 hours before. They are combined store with other type of food like fried chicken and have a similar name so I can't wait to come back to Philly and try those fried chicken! When I went there to pick up my order, it was raining, but there were people waiting for that chicken orders. The auntie is also very nice. Their sign and color is very catchy so it's hard to miss. Vibe is very homie as well.

Their popular Smashed Chicken Rice was spicy but good spicy that my friend couldn't stop eating! They had a sweet soy sauce on the table which helped with the spice.
