Everything we had was delicious! Lots of gluten and dairy free options. Enjoyed the chicken satay and the mushroom/brussels the most! The five spice girl drink was good too.Dietary restrictions: They have an allergen menu

We had their Rice Table dinner, which was tasty but I would never do it again because at $85/person it didn't live up to the price tag. I WOULD recommend this restaurant overall though, it is a unique restaurant to find in Portland and it had great dishes. Make a reservation because it does get busy.

Can’t believe we waited so long to make it Gado Gado. Very delicious food!We got here before the dinner rush and it was so fast! Even after it was full our food orders were pretty quick, which was great.Food wise every dish we had was delicious. I loved the Chicken Satay - it was cooked to perfection and the salt was incredible on it. The peanut sauce is my new favorite in Portland.Every dish was layered and had huge attention to detail.The rice is also really well done - the turmeric in it tasted perfection.We ordered about half the items off the Al Carte menu. Every dish hit the spot. The Rendang Beef is worth every cent. The Beef is slow cooked and melts in your mouth.Another favorite dish was the Sweet Potato and Parsnip - my god it was awesome. And the sauce that came with it was spicy and tasty.Gado Gado is expensive compared to a brew pub type food but the food is next level and the prices are great compared to other fine dining.I’m not a big seafood person but was easily able to find items to order and REALLY enjoy. If you’re on the fence about going - hop off and take a vacation to flavor town. Ok sorry about that bad line but you gotta scope out Gado Gado.

One of the very few Indonesian style restaurants around here. Everything we tried was tasty . Be prepared though. Micro portions, macro prices.

Ever get embarrassed for inviting friends some place that's not that great? Yeah. I knew I was in trouble when I got my cocktail and sure enough, it was the theme for the night.Average taste, overpriced, small portion.We tried many dishes and everything was ok, but very small portions for "family style". The shumai was $18 for 5 small dumplings. I've had better at half the price... this week. The chicken satay was $15 for 3 small bites. I simply cannot see myself returning as there is no value.

Are you kidding me?! Best food of my life. Being a vegetarian has never been more delicious. Geez! Killing it! Nice enough to sit us without a reservation, can’t wait to be back!

Have dined in at Gado-Gado twice now and the food is really tatsy. My husband is from Indodnesia and really enjoys the beef rendeng served here. The servers are efficient and attentive. The prices are kinda high is really the only downfall.
