I got the fries and Batagor (fried dumplings). The fries were yummy and the portion sizes on both dishes were an excellent value for the price. I’m a huge fan of the dumplings, and the condiments were a great sweet + savory pairing. Also wanted to mention— the staff is really kind and diligent, and they make everything fresh! Definitely pay them a visit if you’re in the area and curious about Indonesian food :)

Yummmmy, the flavors!I was in the area after yoga class so I stopped by this food truck since it had been on my To Try list. I try to eat pescatarian when I can, but I also told myself if I try a new restaurant, I would try and order the most popular or delicious dishes for the first time.I actually wanted to try the whole fish (fried) but they were out of fish that evening. So I had to pivot to the next items that stood out.BBQ Wings - These wings were sooo tender, and just fell off the bone. Interestingly, they chose to keep the tip of the wings, which I happily cleaned off, but not something I normally see these days. It came with this green chutney sauce that, at first, I felt was unnecessary since the wings were so juicy. But when I got to the drums, it added a little more moisture and a kick to the meatier part. Overall excellent, but almost $10 for 3 large wings felt a little overpriced.Beef Rendang Curry - The beef in this reminded me of Spicy beef noodle soup, except there were larger chunks. These were packed with flavor, a little bit of spice, some numbing, very tasty. Most of the meat was very tender, although some of the larger chunks got slightly chewy. The pickled cabbage salad with salsa added some much needed acidity, and the potato fritter was delicious as well.Really great experience here - there was no line when I got here and my order actually came out pretty quickly. The nice lady seemed really happy to be serving me and I appreciated that energy.

If I could only go to three restaurants in Austin this would be one, the others being Barley Swine and Uchi. It’s not the same type, of course, but if what you want is food cooked with depth and flavour and skill and honesty and care, it’s that good. I’ve been many times and the quality has been uniformly faultless. I’m constantly surprised this place still exists and hasn’t been raptured to a proper city. (If you’re feeding kids and don’t know what they might like, get them the chicken and rice.)Kid-friendliness: Most kids will reliably eat the chicken and rice.

Another amazing and unique halal food option in the Austin area. Yeni’s fusion offers an amazing variety of Indonesian food. I particularly loved the chicken with yellow rice. The chicken was super moist, juicy and nice with flavors that complimented the rice well. The brisket curry is a great twist of flavors. For any wings lovers, Indonesian flavored wings is a fun twist of savory and spices.The owner is very kind and passionate about her business. Wishing them many years of great business!

We finally got to try this food truck after we have seen it so many times while driving by on Burnet Rd. We stopped by around 4:50PM on Saturday and there was nobody at the seating area which made me nervous for a second thinking they closed. I guess we were just early since they had just open. The food truck is located in front of a bar. There are two picnic tables and one outdoor steel mesh seating with a cover. There is a private parking on the side and parallel street parking on the back. They have pretty interesting menus and we wanted to try everything but decided on these items:- Martabak (wonton pocket with ground beef, eggs, and potato) - these were 2 decent size wontons that came with sweet dipping sauce. It was delicious and filling. PRO TIPS: we prefer dipping wontons in the green sauce/green chutney served with their chicken wings. - Wings with spicy bbq sauce - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! The chicken wings were fresh and fried to perfection but the bbq sauce that was poured on top of the wings itself was not spicy but the green sauce or chutney had a kick which I really loved!- Rendang/ beef curry combo with potato fritter, green chili, and cabbage salad - what a perfect meal; good sized portion and tasty. The beef was so tender with perfect amount of spice, and the cabbage salad paired nicely with the heavy curry. PRO TIPS: pour that green chili on the curry to add extra kick and dial down the saltiness of the curry. - Matcha rice pudding - They display 6 color photos of some of their food, and I saw the photo of this dessert on their menu board; it looks magical and beautiful, so I decided to try. The actual dessert looks completely different than the one on the photo which was a letdown. It was okay, and not too sweet. However the texture was a bit puzzling it was like a flan-tofu baby mix, nothing like rice pudding or the Thai rice pudding dessert I'm used to. The price is reasonable given the taste and amount of food.All in all, I highly recommend this place and would definitely come back to try other items on the menu!

My friend and I were at the Aristocrat lounge after sparring, and we needed to eat some food since we were planning to have a few drinks. We started to look at the menu and noticed online ordering was close. My friend and I ordered from the truck. I had settled on the Grilled Chicken With Yellow Rice And Green Chili, which was gluten-free. I had my friend let them know I was also dairy-free, which shouldn't have been an issue since it was made with coconut cream. My friend with the beef option and said his meal was tasty as well. The grilled chicken with rice was very flavorful and tasted good. I liked the fact the chicken tasted and looked like real chicken. The pieces were not consistently the same. Overall, it's a nice little spot to grab some grub.

Really really wanted to love this food truck, because Indonesian is in short supply in Austin and elsewhere. the reviews were good. Unfortunately we all found that the various items that we ordered, while freshly made, just lacked any unique taste or spice. I will say that the servers are incredibly friendly and the truck is conveniently located just outside a classic Austin bar.

Yummy home-cooked Indonesian fare with slight adaptation to the Texas palate. Yellow rice, peanut sauce, and tofu and tempeh dish were especially good. Highly recommended for Indonesian food lovers and those interested in trying this amazing cuisine.
This is some of the best food I’ve had in years! You HAVE to try this place, you won’t regret it. Portions are incredible and the flavor was so enjoyable.
Great food and good quantity, friendly staff!
