Nice little Indonesian place here in San Bernardino with a mostly Indonesian customer base so you know they’re an important part of the community. I got the Rendang with Turmeric Rice and Kale Curry, and it was great. There’s a few vegetarian options with tempeh and tofu and is to-go style although you can of course dine in. I haven’t had much Indonesian food and when asked about the spiciness level of a dish, I was even given a small sample, so that was nice!

Tempe house spicy food is a small mom and pop joint.
It is located in a very small shopping center.
It specializes in Indonesian food/cuisine.
Staff/employees are friendly.
They let you try a small sample so you know what you want.
Everything is made with love.
The prices are very reasonable.
Potion size is very generous.
Everything we've had has been delicious.
Don't let the pics fool you.
Everything has great flavor.
If you haven't been, you should definitely stop by.
The spicy chicken, coconut rice, turmeric rice,
,beef stew, greens, and fried Tempe are some of our favorites.

This place has my favorite Indonesian vegan options. I am Indonesian and it is hard to find vegan Indonesian options since most Indonesians cook with trasi or fermented shrimps. This place is owned and run by a Seventh Day Adventist who doesn’t eat shellfish. Thus lots of their dishes are vegan!!!
The taste is pretty authentic and spicy. Thus the name of the place is Tempeh House Spicy Food! Tempeh is Indonesian origin. I grew up eating tempeh and love tempeh before becoming a vegan and before tempeh is popular among vegans.

My favorite vegan dishes from here are kale curry, Spicy Tempeh Stir Fry, Sayur Lodeh, Sambal Goreng Tempeh, Nasi Kuning, Ketoprak, Steamed Spiced Tofu in Banana Leaves, Fried Tempeh, Fried, Tofu, Es Cendol, emping, garlic krupuk, and tofu in soy sauce. Many! The dishes mostly served on a steam table. Ask which dishes are vegetarians with no eggs or vegans.

The only thing is the place is not fancy. It is kind of a hole in the wall kind of place. It sits on a funky small strip mall in an industrial area by the airport. I don’t mind eating in this kind of establishment but I don’t bring certain friends here. Ha ha. I usually come with my brother and my husband, just families. However the price is realiy good and the portion is HUGE! The taste is yummmmy. Thus I keep coming back although it takes an hour to get there. That says it all!!!

Loved this quick Indo food. The portions are huge. Food tastes great. The beef rendang and kale dish are so good.
The service was nice and friendly. I would come back. The prices good too.
There’s another indo restaurant in Colton that some like better but this portion and taste was really good for me. Although not a lot of seating inside seems like more a take out place. Good veggie options
Will come back.
