“ Delicious!!!! Absolutely loved everything. This is a hidden gem of SF as its not super crowded but super delicious. We got the baked salmon, the roti starter, the basil tofu, ginger rice, and Singaporean curry noodles! Everything was delicious! ”
“ Friendly service in a casual, comfortable dining room. Corn fritters with minced shrimp was excellent. Large pieces with good amount of corn and shrimp and not too doughy. Roast chicken was ok, nothing special. Would pass on that next time. Curries were good. Sambal green beans was a huge quantity with great spices. ”

“ Amazing flavors. I had the Singaporean Curry Noodle with shrimp. The flavor profile is a combination of savory, herbaceous, and lightly sweet and coconuty. Gadogado salad was also unique and good. Lots of crisps for texture. ”
“ Great food, Great Service, Great Taste and Great ambience. After several days in San Francisco, today we finally met a restaurant that serves Indonesian cuisine. Chicken Satay, Madura Soto, Fried Noodles, Chicken with Rujak spices, Gadogado, Crackers, Tempe, and dont forget bottled tea in box packaging. In terms of taste, it is quite a treat for traditional Indonesian cuisine, with friendly service. The Soto Madura has a very strong spice, the Chicken with Rujak seasoning is quite bold, the fried tempeh which is fried the size of a thumb is a favorite menu and a fight between friends. The delicious fried noodles with a subtle savory taste are our joy when eating at this restaurant. ”
