I had a very pleasant lunch at Singkawang Café, of Singapore Laksa (a type of curry soup). Not overly spicy, with quite a rich broth, it contained two large triangles of fried tofu, three good sized medium shrimp, a whole hard boiled egg cut in two, three slices of fishcake, rice noodles (the type variable on demand), and bean sprouts. And with the bill, a nice surprise of a small bowl of dessert - homemade hot sweet black rice gruel with a few flecks of yellow corn - delicious. Service was pleasant, attentive, and smiling. The canned music not unpleasant, and the atmosphere functional, but fine and clean. I'll be back.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – Hidden Gem for Indo/Thai Food & Snacks
This mom-and-pop spot is an absolute treasure! Not only do they serve authentic and delicious Indonesian and Thai dishes, but they also have a small Indo grocery section stocked with snacks, chips, cookies, and Indo noodles you must try and take home.
We ordered Tom Yum Shrimp, Nasi Campur, and Kangkong – every single dish was bursting with flavor and cooked perfectly. The Tom Yum soup especially is a must-try, especially on a chilly day – warm, tangy, and comforting.
For drinks, we had Thai Coffee and Thai Iced Tea – both rich, smooth, and perfectly sweetened. As a bonus, they treated us to a red bean dessert that was so delicious and satisfying.
The vibe here is super relaxed – you can even stop by during the day for a drink and snack, bring your laptop, and chill here. Honestly, it’s better than most coffee shops!
Highly recommend this place to support a wonderful small business. If you live nearby, make this your go-to for flavorful comfort food and unique snacks.

3.5, half the menu is indonesian and thai. we got yellow curry and nasi lemak with beef rendang. LOVED their yellow curry and it was a good size and came with rice. their beef rendang was tough unfortunately. they have lots of options though so id love to go again. ac wasn't on though so it was hot.
UPDATE: i ordered again and got SKW fried rice and curry laksa, as well as thai tea. SKW fried rice is REALLY good. Didn't like their laksa much though0 it was okay but felt like it lacked a bit more flavor. thai tea was premade so they couldnt alter sweetness but it was ok

A Hidden Gem for Authentic Indonesian Flavors!
Singkawang Cafe in LA brought me straight back home with every bite. The flavors are truly nostalgic and 100% authentic—nothing was missing! From the first spoonful to the last, every dish was packed with that rich, comforting taste I grew up with.
To top it off, they surprised us with a complimentary dessert: bubur ketan hitam (black sticky rice porridge), which was absolutely delicious. Their desserts alone are worth the visit.
If you're craving real Indonesian food that tastes like home, Singkawang Cafe is the place to go. Terbaik!
Great Indonesian dishes here. Bonus is that they also offer Thai food. But that's not all, they are also right next to a badminton center.

I went there yesterday late lunch , i ordered empek2, ayam Kalasan , es doger . The food is good & Tasty, but the next day when I woke up in the morning I have stomachache and get Diarrhea, I am not sure why ? So far I remember that after those meal i didn’t have my dinner so….
This place is amazing and it should always have lines out the door. The food is great both the Indonesian and Thai food options are incredible.
Had the bakso and the mixed rice and would definitely get it again.
The staff is incredibly friendly and the bonus is the Indonesian market items in the back. Definitely check it out.
