    The service was good and it was a nice cozy place that wasn't too cramped. But the food was overpriced and only so so. The portions are also quite small. Maybe their lunch specials are better. So the menu or anywhere in the restaurant does it say there's a credit card surcharge until the bill comes. Pretty sure that's against the NYC laws....

    Gado-Gado Jakarta / Mixed Steamed Vegetable
    Vishnu G.

    This is easily my favorite spot for Indonesian food in New York. I loved getting to try some classics and some new dishes. Gado gado - great variety of vegetables, rice cake, tofu, and onion crackers in a rich and comforting peanut sauce. Curry jackfruit - savory, rich, and warm, with tender jackfruit. Cilok goreng - chewy like mochi and with a sweet and savory peanut sauce. This worked out to $38 with tax, tip, and card fee. But I definitely over-ordered, just the gado gado is enough for a whole meal. This was worth the trip.

    A novice to Indonesian food and I'm already loving it! -Nasi Telor Komplit Dengan Rendang and Ayam (Rice plate with beef Rendang, eggs, and fried chicken): The eggs can be cooked to your liking and I chose runny and it's doused in some kinda savory sauce. The fried chicken is crispy and well seasoned. The beef Rendang is slightly dry (I blame the cut of meat) but the coconut sauce was really good. Love this! -Gado-Gado Jakarta (Mixed Steam Veggies): fresh steamed veggies, tofu, tempeh, rice cake, prawn crackers, served with a peanut sauce. Who knew blanched veggies would be this good?! The peanut sauce was sweet and creamy. It was the perfect accompaniment to the veggies. Highly recommend! The food was really tasty and fresh. It was a good value too because I can make two meals out of it. Would return to try more dishes for sure!

    Came for dinner at 6 PM on a Friday, no wait for a table. Chicken satay was tasty. Beef rendang was great - the soup it came with was actually my favorite. Curry jackfruit side was also good. Overall I like sumatera more, but this was solid!

    I've been on a search for cireng (fried tapioca cake) and this was probs the only spot in the area that served it. The restaurant isn't that small, but I could definitely see it getting packed during peak hours. Ordered for take-out, but noticed a lot of regulars speaking to the workers in Indonesian when I went to pick up -- a promising sign, right? I was craving a noodle dish, so the BAKMI AYAM JAMUR really hit the spot. The broth was comforting and clean, with tender and well-seasoned beef balls. The noodles were thick and chewy, while the assortment of toppings added some crunch to the dish. NASI GORENG TEK-TEK was a fried rice with a unique flavor profile; it had the perfect amount of spice and seasoning with a contrasting texture from the fried bits of egg noodles. The sweet sauce and pickled cucumbers paired well with the saltiness of the fried rice. Last but not least, I finally got my CIRENG and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The sweet and spicy sauce was divine and balanced the savory fried tapioca cake. Huge fan of everything we ordered! I'm not particularly well-versed in Indonesian food, but this is definitely one of the best spots I've tried thus far. Flavors/textures were amazing and prices were reasonable. Looking forward to trying more from here!

    Wanted to love Awang more than I actually did since the staff is welcoming and lovely, but unfortunately the food was a miss for me. We came around 7pm and the restaurant was actually quite full. It's a smaller space, so reservations are recommended if coming in with a party of 4 or more. Most entrees appear to be individual portions, with a few dishes that are available for family style. There were a few dishes that the staff recommended to be family style (i.e., beef rendang and the veggies) but the portions were so small! We ordered individual entrees, and unfortunately it was just a lot of rice/noodles, but not much of the protein of choice. Everything was also really sweet?? The spice here is pretty decently spicy. Overall, wasn't the biggest fan, and unsure if I'll be returning.

    Sayir Gulai Nangka/Curry Jackfruit. OK. Curry flavor a tad light
    Glenn C.

    Went here a long time ago. Thanks Andie for the recollection in terms of prices from last year. I remember my favorites also being the Cliok Goreng, the Sate Kambing, and the Rendang even though the latter was small. I am 90% sure I had a Teh Botol to drink as I like the brand. Outside of this spot, I haven't had Indonesian much outside of I believe Sky Cafe once, Java in South Slope, and the Javo-Indo Market nearby here. I'd go back here. Cilok Goreng/Tapioca Cake Balls- 15pcs for $7.50. Nice texture. Peanut sauce went well with it. Sate Kambing/Young Goat. 5 skewers for $17. Very good tender goat with a nicely spiced/well flavored sauce. Would get again. Beef Rendang/Beef With Spicy Coconut Milk. $24. Small but a good beef dish. I prefer drier rendang and this was excellent with a good spice blend. Would recommend even at the price point. Gado Gado/Mixed Salad. $13. I remember liking the tofu pockets on there. The peanut sauce was fine. This was an OK version. Sayir Gulai Nangka/Curry Jackfruit. $6. Mild and light but I liked the jackfruit texture. Telor Dadar Bawang Cabe/Omelet With Garlic, Onion, and Chili. $6. Lightly flavored also. Just OK. - Udang Goreng Sauce Telor Asin/Shrimp & Salted Egg. $24. Honestly don't remember outside of enjoying it. Tongseng Kambing/Curry Goat. $17. A bit small and bony but the flavors were nice.

    Heard about Awang on social media and knew my Elmhurst food crawl would not be complete without it. Food was delicious and lived up to the hype!! -Started off with the pempek combo with fried savory fish cake and savory fish skin cake. It came with a sweet and tangy sambal sauce that was nice for an appetizer. -Pregnant meatball soup was a hearty soup with meatballs embedded into a larger meatball. They were all juicy and chewy. Loved how it came with two types of rice noodles to give it more texture. -The kangkung hot plate was absolutely my favorite!! As a fan of water spinach/morning glory, this dish combined fresh veggies with this addicting garlic-y, umami soy based sauce. The wok hei was on point and had a nice charred aroma as it sizzled on the plate. I wish I had the whole dish to myself!! -The calamari salty egg sauce was a close second! Each piece was super chewy and coated nicely with an aromatic salted egg yolk sauce. Egg yolk flavors came through and was well seasoned. Again wish I ordered al la carte instead of entree to get more! -The beef rendang featured a tasty rendang curry that had a strong black pepper and coconut cream flavor. The beef on the other hand was a little too dense for me. -The crunch chicken was freshly fried with generally juicy meat. It was yummy for sure but nothing unique and can skip next time. -I had to get myself a milo dinosaur and loved how it wasn't too sweet and strong milo and chocolatey flavors!! -Ended my meal with a serving of chendol. While the green jelly and coconut cream/sugar flavors were tasty, it was too sweet for me, especially since they added jackfruit pieces. The restaurant is nothing fancy but it does remind me if casual HK cafes that I grew up going to so it felt very cozy. One staff member was warm and friendly while the other wasn't. Food came out quick. Cash is cheaper than card. Can't wait to come back next time!

    So far best Indonesian restaurant i have been to.. the best part is having a family member that is Indonesian.. I cant say I will remember all the names of the food we ate but the ones I have posted are amazing! Service is impeccable! place is small but decent enough if you get there early . I have seen people form a line because it is just that good.. always look forward to going there and make sure to have an empty stomach..

    Nasi Bungkus Padang wrap in paper first
    Hawkin C.

    This is our first time trying Indonesian food. We ask server what dishes you are known for, she recommended the following dishes. Bakmi Ayam Kang Kung- chicken noodle, water spinach hot plate, egg noodle chicken, mushroom, quail egg and water spinach. Nasi Bungkus Padang- rice in banana leaf wrap padang style, grill chicken, curry jack fruit egg salad, potato fritter and slice cucumber. Soto Betani- betawi style soup, beef, beef tripe, tomato and potato in coconut, milk soup with white rice, padi oat cracker. Dessert- Esteler, ice teler, avocado, coconut, basil seeds, jack fruit, sugar palm fruit, grass jelly, milk, coco padang syrup and shave ice. The recommendations by server, the Bakmi Ayam Kang Kung good taste. Nasi Bungkus Pandang, found more rice than meat and lack seasoning. Soto Betawi, the soup was good. Estelle, look like this dessert was sitting ice melted made it watered down.

    authentic indonesian place with a pretty big menu. the beef rendang was very good but thought the mie goreng was much sweeter than i prefer. seems to be frequented by a lot of locals and theres a friendly laid back atmosphere.

    Nerissa N.

    decent indonesian food at reasonable prices, staff is pretty normal. pretty casual spot. it was nothing special, but it hit the cravings. i probably wouldn't return but it was definitely worth a try.

Chose Sumatera because I just wanted a nice hole-in-the-wall homely feel. Small but personalized experience and prompt service. For the food, lots of traditional dishes on the appetizers and main course section. I ordered the Batagor drenched in peanut sauce to warm up with flavor flooding. This is a popular Indonesian street food consisting of fried fish dumplings and tofu under a splash of peanut sauce, sweet soy sauce and lime juice. Something new and this dish hits well to start the visit. Main course, chose the Nasi Lemak Ayam Goreng, a classic you can't beat. Since the food here is the closest authentic Indonesian spot in NYC, I had to try it here. Not one part of the dish was off. The coconut rice, spicy sambal, spiced deep fried chicken, crispy anchovies, peanuts and the fried egg complimented each other. This was a shared dish as my mom and I are tiny eaters but we cleaned the plate on this one. Secret operation was to introduce another restaurant to my mom and she was very pleased with this pick of mine. She grew up eating many forms of Southeast Asian cuisines from her childhood. It was a successful mission when you see your parent requesting to order the restaurant's sauce and extra takeout.

Make sure to bring a shopping bag because this is Asian Supermarket central & Thai Pata Market - alongside Chinese Bakeries, Taste Good Malaysian Restaurant, Pho Restaurants - I digress. The organizer of this 15 year old Food Market pop-up, Fefe, is so nice & motivated (the NY Times described her as being proud of sharing Indonesian food and culture & a fan of American bureaucratic systems - only allowing vendors who have all their permits.) their social media is pretty active & hold other festivals at the Indonesian Consulate and at other spaces on Indonesian holidays. About this Vendor Market! It's low-key, family friendly & welcoming. There's bathrooms too. Think PTA Cultural Festival - BUT this is a quality culinary adventure. One Indonesian first-time customer was surprised to see some items that they've only seen when visiting Indonesia & their first impression was that the vendors didn't dumb down the flavors for the Western palette. During my visit, there were 5 vendors & a Sunnyside Reads Org table. I don't know much about Indonesian cuisine, but stews & noodle soups seem multi - ingredient & multi-textured (veggies & crispy toppings), grilled fish & meat skewers, peanut & chili sauces, cassava & sticky rice, coconut milk turmeric broths, palm sugar & pandan. Things I've tried: Taste of Suribaya vendor - Rice Plate: light turmeric rice comes with grilled chicken satay, tempeh (apparently handmade from a Philly vendor), string bean veg stir fry (peanut sauce), a battered fried hard boiled egg. Scoop of sambal chili sauce - Jackfruit Stew (vegetarian): a very mild coconut curry. The jackfruit is cut into thick triangular pieces. There's also cassava, daikon, cabbage, bamboo shoots, tofu puffs, battered fried boiled egg; potato chips & shrimp chips on top. Other Vendor: - Fish "Meatball" in steamed lotus leaf w/ peanut dipping sauce (thought this was going to be a tapioca flour & fish meat item, not what I expected. Very savory, probably good with rice.) Other Vendor: Long lines for Gado Gado (veggie in peanut stew) & Meatball Noodle Soup (& other dishes I wasn't familiar with). Lots of people eating fried fritters & empanada - like pastries. Next time would like to try $17 Beef cube skewers + thick sticky rice (peanut sauce) & the Gado Gado. The Desserts! - The Yeasted Yellow Rice Cake (turmeric, coconut, milk, lime leaf). Kind of like a big slightly tropical crumpet. Similar to the Cantonese yeasted white sugar rice cake. Delish! Had it with tea at home. - $3 Pandan Thousand Layer Tapioca Cake (SO hard to make - even layers & very pretty). Great Flavor & fun to eat. Like a jelly. - Taste of Surabaya: $5 Pandan Crepe (rice flour) filled with grated coconut & palm sugar. Not too sweet! - Lots of people drinking/eating the green pandan-flavored tapioca noodle in coconut milk & palm sugar. Kind of like bubble tea, but not really. Seating: About 5-6 table tables inside & benches lining the front of the room. There's a little patch of front lawn in front of the church, and a picnic table. People are really friendly, sharing tables & chatting about the food. This is true NYC Queens - people of all backgrounds & ages come to eat & are open & interested. BUT I should've paid more attention to the elder Aunties & what they ate (some trying to get extra shrimp chips...others getting prepared meals to-go). They always know the good stuff. Thanks to the lone grandpa near the stage with a mic, singing karaoke off of his phone. Classic. .5 stars off because unless you get there right at opening, the food is mostly lukewarm. But the Indonesian person I met mentioned that since the country is so hot, they think the food (like egg, chicken on rice) is served at a lower temperature. Or maybe things like Gado Gado's supposed to be like a mixed salad. Wouldn't mind a microwave to warm things up though.

Since upper Manhattan is quite a trek from Queens, I was super delighted to see that they'd joined the Sunnyside Eats ghost kitchen roster and sought them out for takeout (takeout and delivery are the only options here) on a cold winter night perfect for a warming laksa. My thesis: the Manhattan location is better than this ghost kitchen, but it's a solid option from the choices available at Sunnyside Eats. I love Singaporean food and much of the cuisine of Southeast Asia, and the Native Noodles founder is a Singaporean expat herself; what I enjoy most about Singaporean food is the blend and balance of flavors that reflect the melange of the country itself. I ordered some of my old favorites: the chili crab buns ($9 with extra buns: split the buns open to scoop up the crab dip for real delight!), the laksa ($14.50, soup version, with chicken and the addition of a soft boiled egg), and a side of kang kung ($4), my favorite Southeast Asian water spinach. Overall, I think there is a quality differential between the food here and the Manhattan location; the mantou (buns) were a bit overfried and oilier than I expected, and the flavors didn't quick pack the same sparkling oomph overall. I was disappointed by the kang kung, which is definitely the blandest version I've ever had of this dish and seemed to have barely any flavoring (I had expected a funky, shrimpy belacan sauce like I usually encounter at Malaysian/Indonesian restaurants). I did like the new soupy, brothy version of the laksa as previously only a drier version had been on the menu, and I found this a pretty generous portion though not as flavorful as I'd previously experienced. Still, you'd be hard pressed to find another Singaporean restaurant with these classics in Queens, and the food is still pretty solid. I can't speak to the service as one doesn't encounter any of the individual restaurants' staff at pickup, but my food came out very quickly and well-packaged!

I liked that the soup was separate, so that the noodles and toppings doesn't get soggy. - Fried Beef with Spicy (#22): mostly nicely fried, though some pieces were a bit dry because it is small cuts. Well seasoned, especially the crunch, so definitely eat with rice. Nice kick, but not too spicy, unless you're eating the chili. - Nga-ku Sin Kaw Curry (FIsh) (#23): tenderly cooked fresh fish. It goes well flavor-wise with the curry. The crunch and the vegetables add more texture, though I would have liked some curry on the vegetables. - Pa Zun Chin Thoke (sour shrimp salad) (#31 - Spicy) : good sour and spicy (hits you at the end!) flavor. It's not whole shrimps, it's cubed shrimp paste, which leads to an interesting texture. - Latphat Thoke (tea leaf salad) (#37): can really taste the fermented-ness of the tea leaves. There is a great mix of texture, especially the crunch! I did avoid the raw garlic. - A Kyaw Sone (fried vegetables) (#39 - Small): I enjoyed the spicy tamarind chili dipping sauce. The veggies were fresh (spinach, zucchini, turnip?) and the breading was crispy on the outside. This was suggested by the waitress and I'm glad we ordered it. - Grilled Pork Neck with Papaya Salad (#43 - Large): tender and flavorful pork. I love the herby green sauce to go with the pork. The Papaya Salad was fresh and crisp. The addition of the sweet sticky rices were a great touch. Overall a nice spot to check out for Burmese food. I'll definitely be back if I'm in the area. They have a Non-Burmese (mostly Chinese) portion of the menu as well (labeled as "Group B" on the menu).

    I've ordered from Asian Bowl a couple of times and the food is so delicious. I first discovered it…read morefrom a glowing NYT review. We are lucky to have many outstanding Asian spots, and the Burmese flavors at Asian Bowl really stand out. The dishes I've ordered are also on the healthier side, with plenty of vegetables and nothing fried. I usually stick with the Burmese menu but ordered the beef low mein for my husband last time and it was excellent as well. Many menu items are labeled "spicy" and while they are very flavorful I haven't come across any that I would describe as spicy or hot. Delivery is fast to the section of Forest Hills furthest from the restaurant, which is always a plus!
