Food, service, ambiance, all great. Nice space. Only light disappointment was the spice level in the Ketoprak. But flavors, textures were great on all of the dishes. We especially love ordering all of the sambals and sampling them with each dish. Looking forward to coming back and trying other dishes!

Fantastic meal. Bold and imaginative menu with extremely flavorful dishes and fresh ingredients. We also had excellent attentive service and our food came out almost immediately. The drinks (non alcoholic and alcoholic) were delicious with strong and well balanced flavors and the small cute desserts were not too sweet and a great surprise at the end. Love the ambiance; the place is decorated like a street market and had a great vibe. We’re coming back, reasonably priced and a fun Alberta spot!! Try it. Vegan friendly with varied and well-marked options for different diets.

Authentic Indonesian spot with cozy décor and big flavors
Walked in on a whim and left very happy. The space is roomy and colorful, with a real Indonesian feel.
The Gorengan Combo has lots of different fried snacks with sauces that are spicy, sweet, and savory. Perfect starter to share.
Ayam Rujak chicken wings are juicy with just the right level of spice. Sauce is flavorful and not too sweet.
Lontong Cap Go Meh really stood out. Creamy coconut shrimp broth loaded with unique ingredients. I have not tasted anything like it before and would order it again.
Service was fast and friendly. Works well for both large groups and smaller parties.
Tip: Try the Gorengan Combo if you want to try lots of flavors at once. The lontong is a must if you enjoy curries.
Would gladly return to PASAR for another meal.

Delicious food, and beautiful restaurant ☺️☺️ Pasar and Wajan are the best Indonesian restaurants in the city!

Ordered nasi goreng with chicken. A tiny amount of chicken on a small plate. , spicy chicken entree came on a tiny plate for 17.50, small plate of pork belly was over priced and disappointing. Three people for dinner was 90 dollars with a tip. Food was average and portions remarkably small, and hot or spicy condiments were wan extra charge. Really disappointed.

Already a fan of Wajan and was happy to try Pasar which is a strange experience having eaten at Vita Cafe so many times way back when. They really made the place their own and the food was quite good.

I'm happy to see this place picking up more business. The food is delightful and tasty, in a section of Alberta Street that has some of the neighborhood's best restaurants. Recommended.
I was unfamiliar with most of the dishes, ordered anyway, and everything was fantastic.

We did a reservation day of for seven. Super accommodating and friendly service! It was our first time in and the waitress had a lot great recommendations from the menu. I think we were fortunate to go with a big party so we could try a little bit of everything off the menu. Make sure to get lots of add-ons—the small bites were fun additions to the meal. Lots of delicious and refreshing NA beverage options too!
Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options but some are with shrimp-based seasonings/sauces
Dietary restrictions: No Halal meat option, plenty of gluten free, vegetarian, and vegan

Beautiful little Indonesian restaurant. I don't know what the hell I just ate but it was delicious. It was like dumplings and tofu in peanut sauce type thing, with some Indonesian rum. Everything tasted amazing and the people working were super friendly.
Vegetarian options: Lots of veggie and vegan options
Dietary restrictions: I think there was a decent GF selection

Do not come here. It's so bad, far from being authentic. All combined (combo appetizer, nasi goreng tek tek, siomay, ketoprak) is 2/10. So embarrassing. Won't ever come back.

I never leave reviews but I have to for Pasar. It is my favorite restaurant in Portland. Incredibly unique and delicious flavors created and served by wonderful people!
Expect small plates for the most part (the makanan are more full sized). It's a great place to get a bunch of smaller dishes and try a lot. This is such a treat for me that I don't know how to not splurge and over order, but it's always worth it and I always leave happy.
The menu changes and i can't remember everything, but some recent highlights were lemper ayam, the gorengan combo, rujak serut, tempe orek, and sapi lada hitam. I wish I could order the whole menu because everything is amazing!
