* ?: 9/10. Food is SUPER, MIND-BLOWINGly Delicious and authentic! LOVE everything there and they are just amazing! I just wish their portion could come in a bit bigger!* ???9/10. Staff is really friendly, family-owned small business. They gave me and my friends free desserts too!!* ?8/10. Generally really nice and clean. Cute decorations and I am obsessed with their wall paintings! They finished the aesthetic of the restaurant!

legit one of the best places to get food in a city that has a high bar for food. any reviewer giving this less than 5 stars is either insanely intitled or delusional. this place rocks

Stopped by for an excellent lunch plate of Nasi Campur with Ayam goreng. As someone who spent half of my life in Indonesia, this is about as authentic as it gets. Amazing flavors, especially enjoyed the eggplant with balado chili sauce. Terimah Kasih Feny and crew!

Warm and inviting. Casual and fun. There are many more adjectives I can use here, but here it is... if you like burmese/Thai/India flavors and smells. Wajan is that Indonesian mix of it all. Amazing food. Great and friendly staff. We had half the menu, and it didn't break the bank. I highly recommend Wajan and will be returning for the other half of the menu. Oh, and all the upcoming specials I saw that I wanna hit up as well. Hell yes. I definitely need more of this food in my life.
Unfortunately didn’t leave raving about any one thing. Ordered several meat dishes (braised beef, fried chicken, stir fry pork) but meat was a bit dry and lacking flavor.Interior was cozy and clean with plenty of outdoor seating for the summer.

The oxtail soup was very warming and hearty. It's very similar to the oxtail soup that can be found in Hawaii. The Indonesian coffee is great too although there are no free refills. There are a ton of great vegan/vegetarian options here.

Wajan is one of my favorite Indonesian restaurants, and Portland's best in my opinion. The salad with sprouts, tofu and pineapple, the fried chicken, and Beef Tendang are incredibly delicious. There are five excellent sambals to add to entrees. Interesting coctails and great service. So good!
Fantastic and unique food, great decoration, fast and attentive service!

We had really good food at Wajan on New Years Eve. We had pork belly and nasi rendang with curried beef as well as fried banana and corn fritter gorenganGood food that came out quickly. Our very young, disheveled, unkempt, inexperienced server was not a bonus to our meal.

Really need work on service. Our server acted like he was auditioning for the DMV, and the prices were extremely high for what is essentially food-cart quality service and food (plastic plates and tin cups). I don't want to pay first-world prices for essentially a 3rd world experience. Lovely decor and flavor. The rest needs work.

Incredible food. Can't rate the dry curry beef highly enough. It's the ultimate comfort food!

Had such an awesome birthday dinner here with some friends. I love the decor and intimate atmosphere. All the dishes were absolutely amazing and so different from anything I typically eat. It was very fun and the server was very accommodating and friendly. I'm excited to go back. Thank you !
