    Chicken Satay
    Mel J.

    This restaurant is at one of the corners in Old Sacramento. We ordered at the restaurant's door and there are outdoor seating area on the patio. The service was good and pretty fast. - Indonesian fried chicken: good. The chicken meat was tender and we could taste the spices of marinade in the meat. I wish that they cooked the meat a bit longer so it had crispy skin. - Chicken satay: good. The meat was tender and flavorful. The peanut sauce was good but I wish that it had chunks of peanut. - Lontong sayur: very good. The soup was creamy and flavorful. - Es cendol: good and perfect for a hot day! The cendol was chewy and plenty. The coconut milk was perfectly sweetened.

    I love this place. I've been coming here ever since it was called the Indo-cafe. A couple from Sweden of all places, was visiting, and I offered to take them out to dinner. They were staying at the Holiday Inn downtown, and I asked what kind of food they would like. His partner is from Indonesia, and said that it's hard to find good Indonesian food in Sweden. Well, this place is right around the corner. I told them, it's not fancy, but it is good. We meet up, and the lady that ran the restaurant was very friendly. She immediately started chatting. With the lady in my group in Indonesian. Right now, the indoor dining is closed, I don't know if it's going to be coming back, so we just had dinner on the patio. We shared an order of the lumpia, the chicken satay, and they had the Nasi goreng. (Fried Rice.). I ordered the. Cap cay, which was basically chicken with veggies. Everything was very good. The lumpia were delicious, and they were not greasy, On the satay, the chicken was delicious, and the peanut sauce was savory. They definitely liked their fried rice. My dish was also very flavorful, the veggies were just the right texture, and the chicken was very good. I asked my female guest if the food was authentic, and she said yes, it was very good. The price was reasonable for all that we got. I'm glad I was able to give my guests a little taste of Indonesia. I will be back again. Thank you.

    Fried rice with pork
    Cherise G.

    I've seen this place for years and I've finally tried it. And let me tell you they were so good! We ordered the lumpia, fried rice with pork, and fried noodles with chicken. Lumpia was delicious, hubby devoured them. The fried rice was so flavorful with a hint of sweetness. Came with a fried egg too on top. The fried rice I think was my favorite. Big chunks of bbq pork was a win! The lady at the door was sweet and gave her recommendations for my first time there. No seating inside, just outdoor seating. Not sure if that's a permanent thing or not. The place looked small with some small tables inside. However, there are plenty of tables outside or take your food to go. Will definitely order again from them.

    Homey authentic Indonesian food that I make sure to stop by for every time I'm in Sacramento! Love all their homestyle dishes that are full of flavors and fresh ingredients. Cap cay, satay, and nasi goreng are all exceptional and I can't resist coming back every time!

    The interior

    Located right along the river in old sacramento, Bali kitchen is a very cute storefront with a handful of picnic tables adjacent. The service is amazing, and the proprietor is friendly and patiently explains all menu-related questions. The clientele is very diverse and eager to try new things. This afternoon I tried the nasi goreng, I'm Indonesian fried rice. Loaded down with pork, sporting an absolutely delightful crunchy texture throughout, this was both tasty, filling, and satisfying. Would eat again!

    Indonesian Chicken Soup
    Asma S.

    My husband and I went on a date night and the weather was chilly so we decided to check this place out . It's a cute hole in the wall kind of restaurant and that's how you know the food is gonna be good! What caught our eye is that the menu was halal This was our first time trying Indonesian food . The owners were friendly and welcoming . The food came out delicious and we will definitely be back . The soup felt so good to the soup. It tasted like something our grandmother would make

    Haven't been back here in probably a decade but it's really great to see they are still open!! They had a different name before but the same humble delicious food. Think home cooked food, served straight to you in paper plates. They don't have indoor dining but you can grab a table outside, and most are covered in case it's either raining or too hot. The chicken noodle soup was so comforting on a cold evening! But my favorite was still the beef nasi goreng. Tender beef and just really solid flavor in the rice! Even my kids liked it. The ground beef pastry was okay but a bit dry for me, so I'd skip that, but the lumpia/egg rolls were nice and crispy. I hope this place survives another decade and more, and I will try to visit it even more now that I'm reminded how yummy it was!

    Ayam goreng kuning enak bgt. Very good and good portion. Just wish more sambal and rice. And spoon. Its served in paper plate n plastic fork. Couple homeless people around me, quiet and no other visitor. Its kinda shady environment. Parking meter

    Sausage roll, Bakmi Goreng (Fried Noodle), Nasi Goreng (Fried Rice)
    Arielle G.

    I visited yeeeears ago and remember enjoying the food. But on our recent trip, we weren't that impressed. It felt like this was closer to Chinese food (and I think the sign actually did say Chinese fusion), just a little better because it's not super saucy. We had the beef nasi goreng (fried rice) and it was fine, nothing special. Bakmi goreng (fried noodle) was more like a chow mein. The chicken in both the bakmi goreng and satay tasted pre-cooked and lacked flavor. The best thing we ate was the mango sticky rice... mMmMmm good! Anyway, it was ok, but not reminiscent to what we we experienced in Bali.

    Bakmi Goreng
    Dang Y.

    This used to be Indo Cafe back in the days. I miss the old Indo Cafe with secret Indonesian menu with dishes like Nasi Kuning, Nasi Rames, etc. We ordered Nasi Goreng, Bakmi Goreng, and Indonesian Fried Chicken. Food was good. I just prefer the Bakmi Goreng I had before at Indo Cafe with rice noodles instead of the chow mein like noodles in this version. Didn't wait long for the food. I wish they open their inside dining again instead of the seating outside especially when it's cold outside.

    Excellent drinks at this place I will always comeback for this delicious Kalapa muda always space to sit and enjoy

    Seafood Curry Soup
    Lav L.

    Had the Nasi Goreng with Beef, Seafood Curry Soup, and Durian Sticky Rice. Food is not super authentic but tastes good. The Seafood Curry Soup has some noodles, not a lot as a meal. I agreed with other reviewers that it is not thick enough, a bit watery. We ordered the Durian Sticky Rice as dessert and thought it will be a few bucks - it is $21 when we see the receipt! Holy Moly! But I shall say it tastes pretty good, but I won't order again lol

    Eggrolls
    Yer V.

    The first time I came here, I thought the food was okay only but decided to give them another shot. This time around, we got the their egg rolls and their beef rendang. The egg rolls were standard. Nothing amazing but not horrible either. The beef rendang was a big miss in my book. The portions were very small and the beef was very dry. I see they have really good reviews. Maybe I got the wrong items. I'll maybe try it one more time before writing them off.

We also ordered the Tum Luang Pra Bang, green papaya salad with fermented fish sauce. I will say, the execution and the quality of ingredients were superb, I personally couldn't get past the flavor, but my mom, a stronger SEA woman, loved it! The staff was very nice and polite.

Yes, today was our first. I'm a sucker for excellent customer service and Cafe Burma and Mikayla had me at HELLO. LOL NOTE: I DIDN'T DO ANY PRE- REVIEW UPON ARRIVING. The husband wanted a Monday Date night and who am I to say No. What we had: *Planta with Chicken Coconut Dip. This planta is a crossover of naan with Mochi like middle with the prefect crisp served with an amazing Chicken sauce. Yah...will be having this again. Hubby had most of it because I was saving my appetite for what's to come. *TeaLead Salad - Yes its a MUST. The fried seasoned garlic is the secret to why this salad hits the palate in the most perfect way. The dressing is oil based which wasn't over powering or even greasy. The peanut was tastefully done. Yes - I ate most of it. Fresh ingredients in every bite. *Chili Basil Beef - at first glance, it looked like Mongolian Beef but far from the taste. The cumin, ginger and chili flakes gave this dish the wow factor. Mind you, I dislike ginger pieces and didn't come across one piece so they must have used ginger powder which I appreciate. We all know the benefits of ginger and I feel like I got a dose of it without biting into one. *PadThai - we were warned that the Burmese way come with a hint of sweetness and this was definitely true but notoverpowering. Husband enjoyed it, me not so much. The dishes came with extra large prawns. You can tell the prawns we're seasoned first hand before getting tossed into the mix. DRINKS: Husband had the coconut monsoon (rum with coconut flakes and I had Bite Dog HAZY IPA - yum. Prime location - corner of 16th street and J, street parking. Restaurant was clean and with a bar and open kitchen concept. What I would have liked: I wish the aesthetic of the restaurant showcased the culture. Wish the dishes were served in a more traditional serving plates. My eyes eat first so I would have appreciated the extra touch but the TASTE definitely made up for it. Will definitely be back! Need to try a dessert next time. Thanks for having us Chef Burma.

The restaurant is super cute and has indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor seating is covered and shaded which is perfect for warmer Sacramento months. They have a variety of menu items including a build your own bowl opton, tacos, nachos,sandwiches, loaded fries, musubi and an udon special. I ended up ordering the Umami Udon with special chicken as my protein ($13.50), a Build Your Own Bowl with fried rice, katsu chicken, the triple katsu sauce, and stir fried veggies with "The Works" ($16.50), and Musubi ($8.75). The staff was super friendly and helped me make some decisions for my order and recommended the umami udon special, which I'm so happy about. The food was made fresh and took a little bit, but was packed with care and was nice and hot. I took it home to enjoy and the food was still hot and the portion sizes were really generous. The Umami Udon was amazing, it had perfectly cooked udon noodles that had a great chew in a creamy teriyaki sauce with smokey bacon, mushrooms, onions and garlic. It was a great mix of sweet and savory and lived up to it's umami name. I would order this again and again, it was so good. The Build Your Own bowl was also delicious and I can see why the chicken katsu is a customer favorite. The veggies were fresh and the fried rice was really flavorful. The Spam Musubi had thick slices of spam with a nice marinade and came with sauces for dipping. I'll definitely be back again soon, and while I want to explore more of the menu the umami udon is happening again!

Obviously, it would have been much better had we actually eaten in the restaurant, but still no complaints once we got it home. Spam Musubi is one of my favorite things to eat so I could have downed like 5 of them! Portions were huge too - they even have a 100 year old teriyaki recipe! Overall, I would definitely come back and try other items! Staff were also very friendly, personable and gave great recommendations! Check them out!

I tried their sukiyaki set, both wagyu and seafood. I wish they had given some instructions on the approach or order I should eat the sets of food. It was a little chaotic trying to figure out how I could submerge all the ingredients in the broth so they would cook evenly. The tempura is perfectly crispy, but the rice was a little brittle and got dried really fast. The texture was more like Vietnamese broken rice, and it caught me off guard because when I tried their sushi a while ago, they used very high-quality rice. As is typical with sukiyaki, the broth becomes very flavorful at the end, absorbing all the flavors from high-quality ingredients, but my udon got a little dry while waiting. Since I tried both set, the wagyu sukiyaki broth became a little too sweet at the end. My favorite is definitely the seafood sukiyaki broth. Would I try these pricy sukiyaki again? Probably not. Would I go back to Azayaka again? 100%. This would not discourage me from going back there any amount.
