Their dishes show expertise. The restaurant stays immaculate. The experience satisfies completely. Worth your visit. You experience great care in a relaxed environment. The service was good and fast; and the workers were very friendly and supportive. They put their energy into food quality rather than marketing. The place deserves more praise than I can give.

I was craving some rendang so I gave this place a shot. It was a bit of a let down but the food was ok and very filling. I'm not too familiar with Indonesian cuisine but to me the dish was too watery and not as flavorful as other places I've had rendang. Maybe their other dishes are better.

The food quality explains the price, the staff enhances the experience, and the location is perfect. The dishes taste better with quality ingredients. Staff members provided the standard of service this place is known for. The spot is truly exceptional. This spot consistently impresses.

By far the worst dining experience I’ve ever had. I dined alone, and was handed the check less than 10 minutes after receiving my entrée (I had been seated barely 20 min). Both the server and owner came back repeatedly — a total of four times — to try to get me to pay while I was still eating, and felt like I was being rudely pushed out most of the time I spent eating (all told I was there for under an hour). It was extremely uncomfortable, and also confusing because there were plenty of open tables both inside and outside. When I paid, the owner gave me an insincere apology and said something about how I was just one person...which is baffling to me that that should justify being treated any less kindly.

The food was fine but not good enough to warrant ever coming back. I’ve worked in food service and am very understanding of most situations, and I’ve never left a bad review before, but this was next level.

The rijstaffel was a good deal. You get around 15 dishes for 2 people. Including rice and dessert. The foods were overall delicious. The service from the owner was excellent. She had issue with the gas and also the absent of the waiter but the owner made sure she still served her customers well, while she was unwell. She didnt stop moving around and apologized repeatedly due to delay on the foods. She was also communicative and friendly, I am a pescatarian and she changed one meat menu with tofu. I hope people in the area will have more knowledge of Indonesian foods from this restaurant. I wish all the best for the owner and Java Restaurant.

Friends and I came here on a Tuesday evening and had a wonderful experience. The people here are extremely warm and hospitable. The food is exceptional, we got the sharable platter, which was delicious and filling, at a good price. I plan on bringing everyone I know here.

Rijstaffle is a tough find in the US. This was a perfect sampling of the dish perfectly prepared.
