Everyone was very nice. Chicken and Pork Satay was really good. The Nasi Padang is six different things, all were exceptional. We shared it between 2 of us. We definitely be back.Parking: There is parking in the plaza or free street side parking.
The food is good. The seating is a little tight but not uncomfortable. The service was alright, but the wait staff were a bit invasive in their interactions - beyond public small talk.

Credit card transactions will have a 4% transaction fee so bring cash.The noodles texture was good (kinda felt like soba) and but we didn’t like the rendang curry because it was very tough to eat.Overall very cheap.

All the food we order there is always good. Even stuff i dont normally eat i would there. Fave there is the gado gado and nasi goreng.If i could live here i would.
The nasi rendang goes very well with the white rice despite being a little too spicy for my liking. Service was friendly and quick. The plaza is full of great SEA food places would love to visit again!!

Place is a bit larger than other Indonesian restaurants in the area. Service is fast and friendly but not rushed. Food is fantastic. The batagor appetizer is delicious and has a great variety of textures. The beef rendang is mindblowingly good, so flavorful and tender.

We decided to make the 45 minute journey out here after seeing a video of Indonesian food & I’m so glad we did.Everything was absolutely delicious, spiced perfectly and the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming.We had the beef tongue skewers, the chicken wonton soup, the marinated ribs and the bihun goreng.I’m always excited to come back and try more food!

Might be the first time I've gotten bad service here. The server seemed to be more interested in his friends being there than the restaurant. Pasted over our table for other tables sat after us 2x. Didn't even look our way which is strange since we come often and have seen him before.

This is my favorite restaurant in Philly! The food is absolutely delicious! It's affordable, the service is great, and the food comes out pretty fast and always sends my taste buds to heaven!

My parents immigrated from Indonesia, and this is their favorite Indonesian restaurant in Philadelphia. My mom especially loves their Es Teler, a shaved ice dessert with sweet syrup and lots of yummies (jellies, avocado, etc.). She will get one as a "drink" and finish it before her main course, and then she'll get another one for dessert later! This is a IYKYK type of restaurant - it's in a strip mall with limited parking and doesn't look flashy from the outside. But despite that, it's worth a visit to try Indonesian food. Even if you don't have a lot of time, you can order to-go and they also have boxed snacks in the back like nastar (pineapple cookies). Highly recommend Sky Cafe. Can't wait to be back so I can try everything on their menu!

The Nasi Lemak was delicious. At first I thought the price was a bit expensive, but I think it's actually quite reasonable for the quality. It's also very hard to find Indonesian food in this area outside of Philadelphia. I loved all the different sides to the dish, they came together really well. We didn't have to wait long for our food on the weekend. Some music was playing but nothing too hard to talk over. Definitely want to come again. Good small business I'd love to support.

First of all, I am NOT impressed at all with the quality of the food nor the service. I don't know how this restaurant received it's 4.5 star rating. I am not Indonesian but I am Malaysian and our food are so similar...practically cousins. That makes me qualified to share this review, plus, I have eaten at soooo many Indonesian restaurants that are rated lower but have much more flavors. It was also apparent that our server, Matthew, did not like his job. He may have had a bad day - which is normal in the restaurant business but he made it so clear to us that we, the paying customers were irrelevant. Then when I mentioned it to the owner, he didn't even apologize for bad customer service. If you're big on service and authentic flavors, this is NOT the place to go!

Chicken satay was great but primarily due to peanut sauce. Ribs were average. Only surprise was spicy sauces. Spicy chicken platter was pretty good. Meat was succulent. Maybe didn't taste what was driving the hype but wasn't anything special. Service prompt. Restaurant was spacious.
