As always they were so nice about everything. Everything was good and prepared well. I'd say fav of the meal was the fried chicken but I was definitely in the mood for it. It was still nice and crispy even taking it back to the hotel which was great, and the amount is certainly shareable. The seasoning for the chicken was noms as well. The tumeric rice had good flavor and balanced well off of the chicken. The soto ayam the broth really brought things together. The highlight there was the fried tofu since it just soaked up everything. I'll definitely be by again to try out more dishes for sure.

I was soooo excited for this place and had such high hopes because of the positive Yelp reviews but…read morethe food was quite mediocre. I'm going to give this place the benefit of the doubt and say perhaps it was an off day for them but the food was just nothing to write home about. I got the Nasi Goreng with a side of chicken satay (with no dipping sauce). Chicken was quite dry and scrawny, the rice was abundant but that was it - literally just a mound of rice with some little bits of shallots, garlic, and occasional vegetable. I wish I could've given this place a higher rating but it really was a let down for me. Maybe try anything but the fried rice and chicken satay?

Got the food faster than expected. It's right next to a brewery, but there's a shared space with a few tables outside and only a few counter seats inside. We ended up taking it to-go to enjoy at a nearby park. Brisket was great, juicy and tender. Dino rib just fell right off the bone. Burger was tasty but not standout for me, would probably just order more meat next time. All the food we got was perfect for sharing! Street parking with nearby lots.

I was skeptical when the server took my order without writing it down. I paid and said I'd come back to pick it up since it was going to take 15-30 min. When my husband and I came back after 30 min, the server told us she FORGOT one of the four items we ordered so she didn't make it yet. Very unprofessional. Let's talk about the food. I'm indonesian who grew up here in the US and even I know this is not good Indonesian food. The beef dish that they call rendang is NOT rendang. It doesn't even have the taste of rendang. We also ordered ayam sambal sereh which came with two sad overcooked chicken breasts. 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.

He used to cook occasionally so we were really looking forward to a great meal. Portions are reasonably sized but everything was so bland.

Bad enough to the degree I wondered if the regular chef was out on the date. Also, an 18% tip is automatically added. They do tell you this ahead of time so be aware.

Lucky for us, eater published an article of best places to get crab and I found a familiar chef offering her Indonesian Crab feast. I used to attend Chef Siska's pop-ups back in the day and she's one of the only people offering Indonesian cuisine in the Bay Area. Most people are familiar with Singaporean or Malaysian Chili crab but chef Siska offers a great Indonesian Crab with Padang Sauce. The crab was really fresh and I thoroughly enjoyed this crab feast. The sides were crab cornbread, crab Rangoon and crab salad. These were probably the best crab Rangoons I've had and the crab cornbread blew my mind - it's the kind of fusion that was unexpected but was fantastic. Chef Siska is definitely one of my favorites and I'm looking forward to getting some rice plates from her after crab season (she's concentrating on crab orders in January/February). She's the type of chef that deserves the support from our Bay Area foodie community. Highly recommended!!!

Every time we went there, we met old and new friends, it was like the perfect gathering place. So for one last time, we had our favorites char koay teow, roti canai, curry laksa, and generous helping of their final day buffet with my favorite vegetable dish of cabbage, an excellent fish curry, sambal petai and other special dishes from the buffet. It was bittersweet -- the wonderful homey lunch experience, but knowing it would be the last at this location. So now we wait for the reopening at another spot, hopefully nearby. And live on with the memories of amazing dining experiences here. A big and hearty thank you to Chef Jai, Vicky, and their entire staff especially Rasul. We'll see you again in a few months!

Curry Leaves Bistro: 2025 December (5 of 5)…read more The holidays mean attending parties or hosting one. I was recently invited to a neighbourhood holiday party where each neighbour brings a dish - like a potluck. I decided to bring Curry Puffs. The curry puffs were a hit - they were gone in seconds, a testimonial to the deliciousness of these treats made by Curry Leaves Bistro. The host even placed the curry puffs the star and centre of the photo he sent to the neighbours. Source: Malaysian curry puffs are widely available at street food stalls, bakeries, and markets and are enjoyed as a breakfast item, an afternoon tea snack, or a late-night treat. Locally known as karipap, it is a popular, savory, half-moon-shaped pastry snack with a flaky, crispy crust and a thick, spiced filling. They are deep-fried until golden brown, resulting in a crispy exterior. When eaten hot, the curry puff provides a satisfying contrast between the golden, flaky, and crispy exterior and the soft, warm, savory, and mildly spicy interior.
