An incredible flavorful diversity of bite-size morsels. Highly recommended

Fab. Cool menu, we did the tasting menu and it was a lot of food for two of us. I loved going through the whole thing and now I have ideas of the clear winners for next time! Only minus is that a couple of the mains were very similar in flavor and I don’t think it’s the strongest tasting menu pairing. They were all delicious though. Apps were insane, drinks were fantastic. Overall super fun.

Incredible food and impeccable service! Everything was so delicious it was hard to stop eating. Will be going back soon.

This restaurant was fantastic! The vibe was very Indonesian, colourful and was one of my favourite places to eat in Portland. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The roti canai is a must!

We did the Rice Table option for 2, and we left feeling super full!!! Definitely recommend Rice Table for a special occasion for 2-3 people as it’s pricey (worth!), good amount of food, and samples most of the items on their menu.

The food was amazing and so flavorful. The Beef Rendang (the chef’s grandma’s recipe!!) was my favorite and goes so good with the Sambal Flight and Coconut Rice!

The service was also fast and attentive! They explained the concept to us since it was our first time and checked on us regularly to make sure we were having a good time throughout the night!

The atmosphere was lively in the beginning and became cozier / intimate towards the end of the night.

Overall, I am so glad we got to come here, this place is one of our favorites!!!

Amazing dining experience! Excellent, friendly service. Order the eggplant you won't be disappointed. The steak tartar was a little too salty for my taste and after such a favorable meal I wish the donuts had more cardamom. But this is nitpicking a delicious meal. I'll be back.

Not expecting this small restaurant to be so culinary. Very tasty, good spices and flavourful.
Put this place on your list. And don't forget Happy Hour.

So I was there for a Stage ( working interview)...
The Chefs and cooks were great. I've worked and opened many restaurants around PDX a d I have to say this restaurant deserves a James Beard Award. Spend the money. The experience is beyond.
DO IT!!!

Great and awesome food! Really nice atmosphere, friendly and attentive staff. Should be on your list of restaurants. Must like Indonesian food which has some resemblance to Indian food.

A really good spot in Portland! We tried the sambal sampler, sui mai, chicken satay, roti canai, and beef rendang—loved every dish, especially the beef rendang, which is a must-try. I’d rate it 4.6, losing 0.4 points for the price-to-food ratio.

Ho viaggiato e visitato l'Indonesia 4 volte ed è una delle mie destinazioni preferite. Questo è assolutamente cibo spazzatura e niente del genere dall'Indonesia. Non scrivo mai recensioni ma il pasto era così orribile che dovevo semplicemente farlo. le tagliatelle sono tagliatelle di base che compri al supermercato e il pollo era essiccato. Davvero terribile!!!

Frech Upstart

We ate al la cart, not the rice table. The food was really excellent, including the Bok Choy, Curry, and another dish (except the tuna: only so-so and skimpy), as was service and atmosphere (not fancy, but comfortable). The only issue we had was portion size: Entrees are small, not enough for dinner. If you are willing to spend perhaps $40-50/person you could get extra/added dishes and have a great meal, but a $25 entree alone won't be enough.
