Sumatera Restaurant

Had the martabak as an appetizer and it was delicious. The orange chili sauce was really good. Ordered the chicken pad Thai. The noodles were super flavorful and all the veggies were very fresh. Was visiting Steamboat Springs for the weekend and found this local spot. Def worth trying!

Food was okay, but the service was painfully slow—expect a 30-minute wait. From our last experience, their mandatory 25% gratuity is calculated after tax, effectively hitting 28.6%. We don’t mind tipping, but we wish the owner was upfront about the real cost.

Extremely rude waitress and owner and they charge tip after tax

Be aware! Dishonest merchant! Check your credit card statement!!! The three of us had dinner there on Feb 20, 2025. Cute place, food was not bad we thought. When we got the bill we saw a 20% service charge had already been added to the bill, so we didn’t add additional tips. Only until later I got a warning from my credit card flagging an additional 50% tip. Turned out two of us got the additional 50% tip added without our knowledge!!! Watch out yours.

Serving unique cuisine with a whole lot of flavor. Sometimes too much flavor. They mean it when they say spicy. Small dining room without windows. The chef is in the next room heating your meals in a microwave.

If you are missing Indonesian food in Colorado, you have to try this place. I have yet to find a place as good in the front range. I got the soto ayam, gado gado, lemper, and steamed dumplings for takeout and it tasted just like being in Indonesia. If you are vegan or vegetarian, the gado gado and the soto (they have a tofu version) are a must try. The steamed shrimp dumplings were awesome and clearly homemade. And it was so nice to finally find some lemper. If you've never had Indonesian food, I'd highly recommend checking this place out if you're interested in trying some new flavors.

The party that came in after us was seated before us, and had received their check and left the restaurant before we were even served. When we expressed our frustration, we were told that there was nothing they could do, and still required to pay the mandatory 20% tip. Very disappointing.

Sumatera has some of the best (and authentic) Indonesian food I've ever had outside of Indonesia

LOVE SUMATERA!! So amazing to eat after a day of skiing and just any day in general. So super tasty and everything is delicious! Highly recommend then nasi goreng, gado gado, and soto ayam.

Amazing food. We got takeout. Can’t recommend it highly enough. Better food than when I was in Indonesia.

Really good! Highly recommend

Went here for the first time last night and it is one of my favorite restaurants I’ve ever been to. It is small place but the atmosphere is cozy and the staff is very friendly. Got the steamed dumplings (best I’ve ever had) and the Singapore noodles which were amazing and extremely flavorful with the perfect spice level. Would highly recommend checking this place out- want to come back to steamboat just so I can return!

This was one of the best meals I’ve ever had in my life. I got the Laksa and it had the best shrimp and coconut curry flavor I’ve ever tasted. We also started with the dumplings and they were amazing! The service and atmosphere made the entire experience even better. Wish I could eat here daily!

Amazing food! The Lemper and Basil Taucho are phenomenal.

Food is alright. They had no spice indicator on the menu so I ended up ordering a really spicy Singapore noodle that I can’t eat at all. Service is awful. I waited for a cup of hot water for half an hour. And food is coming up quite slow. Nobody checked in on us long after we finished the food so we ended up walking up to the counter to pay. Note that this is a really small restaurant with maybe only 20 seats. I am okay with the food price because restaurants near ski resorts tend to be a bit pricier. But they dared to automatically charge 20% tip which they definitely didn’t deserve.
