    This is definitely the best dendeng balado I've ever had in my whole life. Perfectly cooked dendeng, with crispy outside but still juicy on the inside. And guess what? it's made in New York. Surreal!

    Great authentic food. I was the only non-indonesian in the restaurant. My Indo friends found the food very authentic. I'd recommend the Ayam Panggang (BBQed chicken)!

    Never crowded, this family run Indonesian eatery has served consistently homey fare for 10 years. Favs incl sticky chicken rice in banana leaves, gado gado, ayam chicken, and always the jackfruit.

    Loved the mixed vegetable curry. Do try the kale and do not pass over the green chilly pickle. Very satisfying and very homemade feel to the food.

    The nasi goreng (fried rice) and perkedel kentang (potato cake) are both enak (delicious).

    The most authentic Indonesian restaurant in US! In my opinion anyways. Great food, but be prepared to wait, as service is EXTREMELY slow.

    Amazing food but dishes are on the small side. Shoot for 1.5 or 2 dishes per person

    Dry rubbed curried chicken is legit!

    the Ayam Panggang and Gado Gado are a must. but the rendang padang was not up to par.

    Slow service and mediocre food. Best bet is to go to mie Jakarta or java village. You'll be happier.
