Food is overall pretty good, but the prices and quantity are just ridiculous. If I’m comparing to other restaurants in the price point, I would not go here again.

Gado Gado is a must go! Exceptional service with a colorful and welcoming atmosphere. I highly recommend the pescatarian Rice Table dinner. An excellent tasting menu that will surprise your pallet with dishes that are equally artfully presented as they are spectacularly tasting. The menu is carefully curated to excite your taste buds, taking you on a culinary journey that masterfully respects and understands the ingredients. A delightful balance of flavors and textures. I enjoyed every bite of the entire meal, but my absolute favorite was the coconut clam curry. The broth was otherworldly and it's still lingering on my mind as I write this. Go, go, go, to Gado Gado. You'll wonder why you waited so long.

Everything, literally all of it was perfect. My friends and I came in last night and did their omnivour tasting menu. Food came out course well, we got great recommendations of the order to eat it in, what sambals paired with what foods, cocktails were amazing, but most importantly the staff was clearly excited to be there and having fun. I wish I had gotten our servers name, we were the last table on the patio, but she was attentive without being over bearing, always made sure we had plenty of water even bringing us a caraft WITH our check, and maee sure we were all happy.
Chris also stopped by, HI CHRIS, and checked in on us multiple times to make sure we were happy and well taken care of.
The chemistry of the team, the excellent service, and just absolute joy they were all having being there was evident to my friends and I. Not going here is a mistake, and I'll definitely be back with as many people as I can convince to join, the food and service will make your night whatever the company you bring is!

Amazing food! We went to celebrate my birthday and decided on doing the rice table to try a little of everything. It was so fun to get a little bit of everything to try. All of the food was delicious and you def won't leave hungry. Be prepared to leave full! The service was great and cocktails were nice and fresh. I would suggest eating inside instead of outside if it's a hot day but other than that, amazing.

Honestly, best tasting experience I've ever had! And amazing service! Thanks so much!
I would give Gado Gado 12 stars if I could. The hype is real. From the INCREDIBLE— and I truly mean incredible— service that we got from every person we interacted with, to the evil genius mastery of flavors and textures, Gado Gado is truly something special. To provide that level of customer service, knowledge, detail, and friendliness to their craft on top of a game stopping menu in an environment that has received a hurricane of increase in business so quickly is something to commend and I can’t wait to come back again. This team knows what they’re doing.
We sat at the bar, ordered the Rice Table and added the Green Curry, as well as the Jungle Juice cocktail, gewurztraminer (orange wine), Wonder Juice & Starina mocktails. 12 stars, no notes, so special.

The food tasted so great, but beyond disappointed with the service. I sat at the bar and the bar tenders were talking for a while before they acknowledged me. My friend joined me and the bartender never asked for her drink. We had to order it from the food runner with the food i originally ordered. We were planning to order more, but the bartender (even though at the bar) never once checked up on us. We just decided to ask for the check. We were the only POC in the restaurant at the time and wondered if that was the reason for the poor treatment. I genuinely felt so unwanted at the restaurant. Maybe if I had made a reservation it would of been different. I am unsure and extremely disappointed.

Everything about this place is great. It's a bit expensive and some of the portions aren't huge, but it has a shareable vibe. Came twice in a week. First time did the Keith Lee combo, and it was insanely good. I wish the Roti Canai was like 20x as big. I could eat it everyday.

We were visiting from our of town. My cousin from Portland recommended Gado Gado. We had the rice plate set meal. Food was outstanding. Service and atmosphere were terrific. The Zucchini Corn Fritters and the Roti were particularly excellent, but everything was very, very good. Couldn't recommend this restaurant more highly.

Oh my God, so amazing. The dish on set menu I was most nervous about...clams in a pork curry was actually my favorite, but every dish has depth and was really delicious.

We came here for a birthday and we got the rice table to share. This is more expensive than the a la carte menu, but each person gets to try almost every item from the a la carte menu. Every item was excellent. The roti with tomato curry is absolutely one of their best. We get it every time. The service is always outstanding, we had interactions with multiple people and each of them was wonderful. They explained all the dishes well and at no moment were we wanting for a thing. Highly recommend getting a reservation. It was a half hour wait without one.

Alright this place is bananas. Get the rice table. It’s $89 flat and you get A LOT. Added a picture of the menu because I can’t describe it all. Highlights were the roti, the pork and clam curry, and the beef. The donut at the end is a very nice ending to a great meal too. There was honestly nothing we were served that I wasn’t vibing with. Let go and let Gado. Enjoy yall

Food was delicious and creative but the rice table was overpriced. The price is better if you just order a la carte.
The atmosphere was noisy and it took away from the food experience. The decorations were cute though.
I wouldn’t come here with the same expectations as with other asian restaurants where you get a lot of food. Expect to get a taste of each dish.
