    chicken rendang
    Eric K.

    The lady that works in here is super friendly. I love the way you can order from your phone and the order goes through right away. I really loved the flavor of the pangsit goreng it's a great appetizer. I'd get it as a meal and order egg rolls too next time. The lamb sataay had great flavor. The chicken rendeng was okay not my cup of tea but the rice was really good.

    I love SE Asian cuisine. Indonesian, Singaporean, Thai... Thats why I love this place. Fried chicken - Crispy outside juicy and flavorful inside. Laksa - legit. Flavor is really good and authentic. I love the noodle texture. Beef tripe stir fry noodle - My favorite dish of all. The flavor is so good, again excellent noodle texture. Hainan chicken rice - I didn't try it, the person who did said it's average. Fried rice - I like the beef better than shrimp but I forgot how good or bad they were. Didn't have too much. Fried curry wonton - I actually thought it was very interesting. Flavorful curry inside the fried wonton. People love it, I'm ok.

    We were in the area and picked this place to have lunch here, and it did not disappoint! Ambiance: 5/5 It is located next to a supermarket. The restaurant looks small but it's actually spacious inside! The inside is decorated very nicely, and bathroom was clean. Service: 5/5 Staff were incredibly nice, polite, and efficient. They were so so sweet too. Food: 4/5 Laksa noodle soup - Mild spiciness! Coconut-flavored broth was soooo tasty, and the noodles were cooked really well. Chicken noodle soup - Broth was light and tasty. I personally loved the taste of lemongrass, and the chicken was so tender!

    This little hole in the wall is so pretty and clean inside!! They are constantly moving keeping the place clean and ready for the next guest. We had the chicken laksa, beef, lamb, and chicken satay, and the nasi goreng beef. Oh! And I can't forget the pangsit goreng. Those were excellent! I could go just to eat those! Super flavorful, the insides were tender with a nice little crunch. The satays were all delicious! The lemon grass was paired nicely with the peanuts... I liked them all with the different meats! The beef rice (nasi goreng beef ) was so good! I would order that again for sure! The chicken laksa was good, the flavor reminded me of pad thai, it was good. All in all a delicious spot!

    Barzar Eatery is a hidden gem in Vacaville serving Southeast Asian cuisine. With so few places offering Indonesian, Malaysian, or Singaporean food in the area, it's such a treat to have Barzar around! This was my second visit with my first was back in 2024. I still remember how excited I was to see Laksa on the menu back then, and it did not disappoint. On this trip, I ordered the shrimp mee goreng and beef rendang, and both dishes were amazing! The mee goreng had that perfect balance of sweet, spicy, and savory flavors with a nice smoky wok hei. The beef rendang was rich and tender, pairing perfectly with the turmeric rice. Also a bonus is you're served yummy shrimp chips after ordering!! My group and I loved everything so much, we're already looking forward to our next visit. One thing that's been consistently great on both visits is the service. Food was served quickly! Also, the hostess, possibly the owner, is so warm and attentive, checking in on every table with genuine care and enthusiasm.

    I have been wanting to try Indonesian food for the longest time & finally had the chance to at Barzar Eatery. Went with the Beef Rendang, Beef Satay, Pangsit Goreng, Shrimp Fried Rice, & Ayam Fried Chicken. Everything was very good. My favorites were the Beef Rendang & Beef Satay. The Beef Satay was probably the best Satay i've ever had & the rendang was nice and tender and paired well rice. Very friendly hostess and all the food came out hella fast! Highly recommend. Will definitely come back to try other menu items.

    I arrived close to closing @230pm so I didn't wait long for a table ( approximately 10tables). But after I received my dishes, I can see the place easily filling up! Food was tasty, fresh and well portioned! I ordered the follow dishes: 1)Shrimp Laksa (Malaysian), coconut broth w/ spices was so comforting w/ generous amount of prawns ( w/head. 2) Mee-Goreng (Singaporean) w/ the shrimp-paste and sweet -savory soy sauce taste and w/ bit of spicy made the noodle experience so satisfying! 3) Beef Rendang ( Malaysian) rich and creamy beef stew! Meat was tender and enjoyed it w/ white rice ( arrived too late for tumeric rice ). Overall first -experience: Staff were friendly and efficient; always checking-in. It's cozy and comfortable dine-in made eating a Malaysian ( and SouthEast Asian) cuisine quite memorable.

    Having grown up in Indonesia, I have a high standard when it comes to Indonesian food. It's not often that I find dishes in restaurants that truly compare to what I enjoyed back home. That's why I was pleasantly surprised by the food at this restaurant--it was delicious. We started with complimentary prawn chips. While the texture was a bit unusual--denser and grittier than the light, airy chips I'm used to--the flavor was still spot on. We also ordered the pangsit goreng, which was just okay. I wasn't a fan of the subtle curry flavor in the filling--it didn't quite work for me. For my main entrée, I ordered the seafood laksa which came with thin rice noodles, and it completely exceeded my expectations. The shrimp coconut broth was rich, flavorful, and had just the right amount of spice. The bowl included three jumbo prawns, which were tasty but still had their shells on, making it a bit inconvenient to peel them. It also came with fish cakes and tofu puffs, which added great texture and variety. Overall, this noodle soup was absolutely delicious--I would 100% order it again next time I'm in the area. The service was excellent. The staff were friendly, and although I'd heard that service here can be slow, that wasn't our experience--our food arrived fairly quickly. The ambiance was another highlight. The restaurant was fully air-conditioned, which was perfect on a hot day like today. Inside, it was clean, well-maintained, and had a tidy, welcoming feel.

    The foods good! The service is good! Only one waitress but she's really fast and always happy to serve. They keep the place clean. They serve two of my favorite indo dish so I always get that, Rendang and Soto. Wife also enjoys laksa Enak banget!

    beef rendang

    Came here after a day trip in Davis, and was fortunate to get a seat right away. The restaurant space is small, so I saw that seating filled up quickly. Service was great, and the owner is a friendly lady who runs the whole show. You get complimentary shrimp chips upon seating, and I tried the Laksa and Beef Rendang. The Beef Rendang was very flavorful and the turmeric rice is a must-have. I did notice they ran out and had to serve white rice later on, so go there early. The laksa was also good with a bit of spice, so be aware of that. Overall a decent place if you're in the area and craving Southeast Asian food.

    Wow!! This restaurant has been open for a bit. We saw the rave reviews and decided to finally try it. It's AMAZING! While the dishes are things we are unfamiliar with, we are familiar with delicious food. There is a lady who has been there both times for our visits. She is a real sweetie. She has treated us like VIPs and has spent time talking to families with little kids making everyone feel welcome. The food. My goodness. It is really something special. We've been twice and have tried different things. Both times, we have been delighted by our selections. I think vegetarians could find plenty to eat here. I can't remember everything we have eaten there. I remember trying Beef Rendang, Hainanese Chicken, Shrimp Fried Rice and Veggie Stir Fry. I think there is something there for everyone. If you are adventurous, you must try this place. Truly unique! We've eaten at the restaurant twice. Though it looks like you order at the counter, if you want to eat in, the lady will come take your order at the table. It's been busy each visit, but there is plenty of seating and we have never had to wait. Cute decor, delicious food and attentive service!

    There are not too many authentic Malaysia food nearby, Barzar Eatery is an outstanding restaurant. This was the first time we tried there despite they opened for 2 years. We tried a few of their popular items- satay, rendang chicken and laksa. They were all very delicious. All items were little spicy tho so be prepared for that. They also gave us complimentary shrimp chips! Yum. I love the chicken dishes since the chicken were tender and juicy. Laksa was good portion with seafood like shrimps, clam, fish cake, quail eggs, tofu! The soup tasted so good!!! Will definitely go back to try more dishes.

    Barzar Eatery was an unexpected hit I discovered during a recent visit to Vacaville this past Friday. Usually, when I venture this far out from the Bay Area, I assume the options for good Asian food will be limited. However, Barzar completely proved me wrong in the best way possible. My wife and I stopped by for dinner close to when they were closing and the restaurant was still incredibly busy. We waited around at the counter waiting to be seated, but as a few other reviewers have noted, it looks like you seat yourself and order directly from the QR code on the table. We ended up ordering two appetizers and a main dish to share. This was my first time trying pangsit goreng--Indonesian fried dumplings filled with beef. Each piece was beautifully wrapped, and the outer shell had a satisfying crunch. While the beef filling looked like it might be dry, it was actually moist and flavorful, with a strong savory onion profile that really stood out. The other appetizer we tried--the chicken satay--was easily one of the best versions I've had. It tasted like they used chicken thighs, which made the meat especially tender. The cook was spot-on: the chicken slid off the skewers effortlessly. The peanut sauce was thick and nutty, with just the right amount of richness. I liked it so much I ended up spooning it over rice later that evening. For our entree, we went with the Hainanese chicken, and it's honestly one of the best preparations I've had anywhere. The chicken was incredibly soft and perfectly chilled, just as it should be. The ginger scallion sauce paired beautifully with it. My only small critique is that the rice was a touch dry, but the turmeric flavor was excellent, and I loved the crunchy peanuts served alongside. If you're in this part of Vacaville, I would highly recommending stopping by Barzar Eatery for a delicious meal.

The topping had lemongrass in it, which made it somewhat interesting but it was not pleasant to eat the overcooked chicken. What's ironic is that this was the order that they forgot and had to make last minute. I would not recommend this place to anyone interested in trying Indonesian food. This is not Indonesian food.

It came with a bowl of piping hot broth. The broth has a mild flavor with some fried onion bits, more like a regular Ramen broth versus Pho broth. It is quite salty, and not very greasy or unctuous. Not a lot of depth of flavor. We didn't want to drink it by itself and ended up throwing out about half of it. It is not spicy, but you can get a small tub of chili sauce on the side. I got the Combo B ($16), which is like a sampler platter with a tiny bit of noodles (2 types), a tub of hot broth, 2 meatball skewers, 1 fried won ton. Little one said the fried wonton was really good. The meatballs were definitely the star of the show. They were not too chewy, very tasty, and had a slightly spicy glaze. Hmmm...maybe there's an error on the menu, but it says I was supposed to get 3 meatball skewers?? The people working at this food truck were extremely nice and friendly. The food came out very quickly. They apparently run some promotions, so it would be a good idea to follow them on social media if you're looking for deals. Overall, it seemed the grilled items were better than the noodle soups. The amount of food was not that much, but that is to be expected from food trucks. Be sure to check your order before leaving.

Complex flavors that were more sophisticated from what you would find at a Chinese restaurant. I love salt & pepper fish and this one was well seasoned.

The server was great to offer to bring me hot sauce on the side since my friend was not a fan of spicy and if you ask for the hot sauce it is hot, say take in moderation to fit your spice level. I would definitely be back to try different things on the menu since it all looked so yummy.

    Ah-mazing! Ever…read moresince coming back from a trip to Singapore and Malaysia, we've been on the look out for this type of food. We came here with my spouse's business partner and his wife and the food is delicious! The restaurant has a very modern and minimalist aesthetic which showcases the beauty of the food. The service was friendly and great. Each person gave a warm welcome and it reminded me of feeling like I was home. We ordered the Beef Rendang, Laksa, Ayam Percek, Gado Gado, Tahu Goreng, and Nasi Uduk (rice w/pandan, lemongrass, coconut & lime leaf) and Nasi Kuning (rice w/turmeric, lemongrass and coconut). Oh the fragrance, the flavor, and yumminess! Everything tasted amazing! The chef accommodated removing peanuts in the Tahu Goreng as we had a food allergy in our party but it still tasted great! I really enjoyed the two types of rice as it paired well with each of the different dishes we ordered. I found out that they have a coffee bar during the day time and I told my spouse that I will want to come back during the day time so we can try the coffee and beverages. Overall, it was a great dinner and I hope to bring others here so that they can try it out too.

    Service is amazing. Friendly, courteous, professional. Upscale ambiance, intimate, but not for real…read moreIndonesian family that will come with grandparents and grandkids and sharing food in the middle. Various alcoholic drinks but no traditional drinks/ desserts. Seems it is a combination of Singapore, Malay, Indo, Indian. Pricy. Entrees not include rice, in which not a customary Indonesian/ Singaporian tradition. The portion of my ayam percek is suitable for the proce, also the nasi uduk. The flavor is balanced, not too salty, not too spicy, in which would be great for my bule friends, but a bit bland for my palate. Beautiful interior decor and design. Overall, I will try another Indo restaurant in my next NoCal work function. Parking sucks. On the street, visa mastercard and coins only. Of course I got a parking tix because I didnt have enough coins. When I arrived, exactly at 5, I was the only one there and the owner/ manager was there too, sitting at the bar. She was not too friendly/ welcoming. The server and bartender are friendly and helpful, and that made me stay and ordered some food.

    I've only been here once. But the special(name?) rice lowkey blew my mind…read more Had that with the beef rendang which was good and very coconutty. Wasn't the best or most complex rendang I've ever had but still hit the spot. The sambal green beans and okra was crazy good too. Their sambal is very legit. Service was super friendly and quick. Ambiance and decor is what you'd expect from a small neighborhood affordable spot like this.

    I have not stepped into this space in almost 40 years. It was a work lunch rotation spot then when…read moreIt was a Chinese restaurant named Yunan Restaurant. It was my favorite for an extremely popular dish now prominent on Irving Street near 12th Avenue, my introduction to their famous staple chicken wings. I continued to periodically get them here until they closed. Fast forward forty years and a friend invited our group here for a birthday lunch on summer Saturday at 12:30 pm. Running late from my morning errands, I arrived shortly after the meal was ordered (Forgive me for possible inaccuracies and incomplete information) since our host ordered seventeen dishes for our party of 12 to feast on family style. Here's a summary of the highlights. Favorites in no particular order: a. Chow Kway Teow (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=OXyh4S0Zwn0zipsVbIfDRw) - flat rice noodle stir-fried with shrimp, Chinese sausage and eggs; this is a classic dish using chow fun as the base and a mix of ingredients. My favorite. b. Basil tofu (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=yyuLG6v-DwEePR0j1kArYg) - tofu and shiitake mushroom in basil sauce; I enjoyed the ingredient mix and the sauce made everything balanced. c. Singaporean curry noodles (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=W1xq3h8e0WW7u20WyKJB9w) - glass noodle stir fried in our special curry sauce with shredded chicken; not your typical version as it is glass (as in transparent) noodles, a more slippery texture. This is also wet and made with mushroom slices. My 2nd favorite. d. Sambal okra (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=a5na569KcDG96eS9q_kHVg) - Wok fried okra with spicy sambal sauce; I enjoy the texture of okra though it's an acquired taste. The spice level was perfect for me, medium with a lean towards spicier. The other notable dish is the Hainan chicken rice (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=hCAhsBqrYfSFKP1mKg7Sjg), steamed chicken served with rice cooked in broth and ginger. It came with three sauces, a special soy sauce, garlic ginger sauce, and a bright red chili sauce. It was well made though I wished the rice was more fragrant. The restaurant was empty aside from our party when I walked in at 12:45 pm for several diners came in as our meal progressed. The two young ladies who tended to our party were efficient in removing empty plates and refilling our water glasses. In reading other reviews, the chili dungeness crab seems to be a popular dish. Maybe on my next visit.
