Best indonesian food in town, but they keep changing their menu. The best options are gone.

Cute little place, food was excellent and service was good. Parking can be a challenge (small lot, but free).

i went here in 2023 n liked the food. decided to try it again this year. unfortunately, as an indonesian who grew up eating authentic street food in indonesia- the foods here were flavorless n very americanized :’) i saw a few indonesians said the same thing but the good reviews seems to overshadow them so i came here anyway. overall, most of them didn’t taste authentic, except for the martabak and maybe the mie. i honestly would go back only for the martabak lol. the service was decent. pretty expensive.

The restaurant was tucked at the corner of lot with other restaurant with very tight parking space. Parking was a nightmare even on Thursday night around 7pm. We had to circle the whole block 3 times to find a spot. Once we were in, the staffs were very friendly and seated us immediately.
- Nasi rames: tasty! The fried chicken was delicious (the skin was crispy and the meat was tender, succulent & flavorful - the spice seeped into the meat). The rendang was super tender & the spice was bold. The noodle was super flavorful - Mantep padang: good. The chicken curry was very tender & the gravy was creamy and delicious. - Char kway tiau: very good! The sauce was bold and we could taste the char aroma. It was our favorite - Es cendol: the cendol pieces were chewy & the santan had the perfect sweetness. However, I wish that they didn't put too much ice.

Small place but big flavors. Tiny parking lot is usually full but they have a dedicated pickup window. Love their food. Ordered up 5-6 different things for dinner with friends and we liked them all. They have been consistently good every time we’ve gone

I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant! Maya and her team at Simpang were able to accommodate a huge group dinner for our friends. Despite continuing to add on extra people they were super flexible, offered a wonderful set menu with accommodations for folks with dietary restrictions and allergies, and the food was INCREDIBLE and huge portions. I was worried about taking up too much room at the restaurant, but the staff made it look and feel like a breeze. This is one of my favorite restaurants in LA and I will keep coming back. :) thanks for having us!

I had been here around 4-5 years ago and I remember it being amazing. This last time was very underwhelming. The food wasn’t that hot and none of the dishes we got were very memorable.

The nasi bungkus served in a pandan leaf and delivered to my hotel room almost made me tear up. Beef rendang tender and rich, chicken curry moist with great spice, vegetables for a perk of freshness… thank you for filling my Singaporean heart 🖤
The food and portions are good, but it's a bit pricey compared to other Indonesian food places. We ordered the Nasi Bungkus and Nasi Lemak. They gave us tons of rice and sauce that came with the chicken. Both the chicken in Nasi Bungkus and Nasi Lemak have the same curry sauce.
They use chayote for the vegetable curry that comes with the Nasi Bungkus, which is very delicious. Also love the beef rendang that came with it, the beef was very tender.
We also got the martabak as a dessert. It tastes pretty standard. A bit pricey compared to the size they give you.

Good food and attentive service.
Long ago there was another Indonesian restaurant we used to frequent and were sad to see it close. Happy this place showed up.
The gado gado is delicious and so was the whole fish, tender and tasty. The noodles hit the spot.
Cannot wait to come back to try out more dishes.

As soon as we arrived, we had a hard time finding parking but luckily there was 1 spot left. At first we got seated by the door, but it felt cold so we asked to be seated elsewhere. They also have outdoor seating, which must be nice during hotter weather. We ordered siomay bandung, nasi bungkus, and kwetiau goreng. I was very happy with all of them! All of them, took me back to my childhood memory. Although it is on the pricier side, it was absolutely worth it. Loved how they present the nasi bungkus literally wrapped in the banana leaf and the paper wrap, so authentic! Wish there were more veggies in the nasi bungkus, it was so good! The siomay bandung was also on point, so did the kwetiau goreng. Everything was delicious, I wish I had second stomach. Service was friendly, atmosphere was relaxing. Thank you and hats off to the chef. I will come back next time!
