As a fellow Indonesian, this place is pretty good. Especially when the only time I can get some Indonesian food is when I make it myself. It's hard to find Indonesian places in the US, though luckily it's a bit more common in California. For ambiance, this is actually a place I prefer to get my food to go. It's a little busy on the weekends when I have time to go, and it's a bit of a tight squeeze inside. Think of like the inside of a gas station or 7/11 with some tables squeezed inside. Not my fave to sit in, but the food is pretty good. I've gotten the Nasi Goreng Ayam (chicken friend rice), Nasi Goreng Kambing (lamb fried rice), Risoles, and Soto Ayam Kuning. Chicken friend rice is def good, especially when you add some of the red sambal they give you (an asian spicy hot sauce), but not totally authentic with how they serve it Indonesian style. The gooeyness of the yolk mixed in the rice is part of what makes it so yummy. But still good the way they make it. Same for the lamb fried rice, but again still good. Just wish it had the over easy egg. Between the two, loved the chicken fried rice more than the lamb. The risoles could have been cooked longer, but I'm basing this off of my Oma's recipes, so maybe I'm being a little biased here. Still very good though - just a bit too wet (if that makes sense) when biting inside. The Soto Ayam Kuning was actually the best. Again, not exactly like my Oma's recipe so I'm a bit biased once again, but it was delicious in its own way. The mix of egg, vermicelli noodles, rice, friend onions, and veggies made it at least reminiscent of my Oma's recipe and it was delicious still even if it wasn't exactly like me Oma's (yes, I get that's a hard thing to reach to). Would def order again. Overall, love this place for some yummy Indonesian food to-go or via DoorDash. Ps. when I'm inside I always buy some Indonesian snacks in the "gas station side" of the restaurant like krupuk (shrimp crackers) and sambal.
We came on Sunday 1/18 around 5.30 pm... ordered batagor and nasi padang. Batagor has a good amount but tastes just okay. Nasi Padang comes as disappointment because it's bland for me. The hot sauce comes separately although I asked for 2 extra hot sauce and mix it inside still kind of bland for me. The rice is way too soft. Service is great though; she is very friendly and very approachable.
Indo Bistro always wows me with its generous portions and not just for its entrees. You can come here hungry, order one thing, and leave absolutely stuffed. I recently tried their vegetarian mie goreng. It was super good with little chunks of tofu and all that sweet soy sauce that the noodles are stir fried in. Service has always been friendly and prompt. That hasn't changed and I've been coming for years. The interior of the restaurant is a little dark, but they've plenty of space, even for larger gatherings. The location is convenient as you can do your shopping at grocery outlet and come over for a quick lunch afterwards.
Indo bistro is the perfect spot if you're feeling something cravy, spicy, and just something good. My go to is always the nasi bungkus (19) and it comes wrapped in a banana leaf always tasting amazing. The service is fast and nice as the people working are always welcoming. And the overall ambiance is a small family oriented, but the store does fill up on weekends fairly commonly. A definite must try if you're in the loma linda-IE area.
Indo bistro has a wide menu that made me want to ordee everything. I ordered the Nasi bungkus, Nasi Kuning, and Nasi gudeg. It's basically a rice set with different items such as chicken, beef or vegetables. The Nasi bungkus had beef rendang, chicken, boiled egg, and kale. I liked the flavors but the beef was hard. The Nasi Kuning had beef rendang, fried chicken, perkedel potatoes, and sambal. I prefered this dish more because of the flavors that work well together. The Nasi Gudeg had tofu, boiled egg, chicken, jackfruit, and tempeh. This dish is a bit on the sweeter side. Definitely the best out of the three. They also sell snacks and deserts. A great option to pick up food.
Love the Pempek kapal selam ( fried egg fishcake ) savory and delicious with spicy, sour and sweet sauce that came with it. For Es Doger: shave ice mixed with black sticky rice, shredded young coconut, sweet coconut based with fermented cassava. Very delicious taste especially during hot summer days. The only thing that I don't like is the wait time sometimes too long to make it. Im not sure if they don't have enough staff or they have too many orders to make at the same time. But I always enjoy coming here whenever I visit Southern California. You may call them & order from the menu ahead of time before coming in. This is one of the best Indonesian food I've ever had in SoCal
Such a wonderful experience! My coworker grew up in Indonesia and so we came for my birthday lunch. The employee at the counter was very warm and inviting. They have a little market you can purchase a good variety of Indonesian snacks and seasoning. I got the chicken fried rice and it was one of the best I have ever had. I'm sad they did not have any chicken satay when we went I am a sucker for some peanut sauce! I also got to try the fried tofu dish and it was so flavorful and fresh with lots of veggies inside. My coworker let me try his dish and the chick was amazing it had a bbq type flavor. I am so excited to go back and enjoy more of this beautiful food!
Updating my review for a DoorDash order. I was surprised to see that the portion size was rather small compared to usual. I'm not sure if this is normal for their food delivery orders or if it was a one-off occurrence, but it's something to keep in mind. That said, everything was packed well, and the flavors were as good as usual.
Solid Indonesian fare in a non-descriptive strip mall. Food was good and portions were large. Good value. I had the grilled chicken (basically bbq chicken) and my wife had the chicken porridge. BBQ chicken was a little dry but flavorful. Came with fried tofu, fried tempeh, a potato ball thingie, rice and a surprisingly good tamarind soup. Friendly service. The place was pretty crowded on a Sunday evening.
Second time here ! This time we tried the: NASI IGA BAKAR which is BBQ ribs. Meat was very tender and coated with its flavorful sauce! NASI GORENG KORNET is a Corned Beef fried rice dish that's stir fried with egg, peas and carrots. SATE AYAM is Chicken Satay which is grilled marinated chicken skewers served with peanut dipping sauce ! During our first visit to experience the taste of Indonesia Cuisine. We were able to chat with one of the chef to ask him what kind of seasonings are used in their dishes. Galangal has that peppery and earthy taste making their dishes yummy! Blended seasonings of nutmeg, cloves, pandan , candlenut, and black nut are mainly ingredients in Indo cooking ! Hubby's and my first Indo experience was very satisfying that made us come back! We had the : NASI BUNGKUS PADANG, a banana leaf wrapped steamed white rice with savory crispy beef, curried beef, chicken, salted egg, coconut milk and chili sauce!!!! Loved the SATE PADANG which is Beef Satay made of tender beef tongue skewers served with a tangy dipping sauce. A dessert is a must which was served first before our meal !!! ES SHANGHAI, a shaved ice with palm seed, lychee, jackfruit, black grass cubed jelly and young coconut topped with condensed milk. Definitely will be coming back to devour more Indo dishes!!!
Delicious & flavor packed dishes! Would definitely come back to try all the others dishes. Customer service is so nice too!
Mon and pops Indonesian bistro with small dry goods store section. Warm and friendly reception. Place clean. Have not tried Indonesian cuisine before coming here. Ordered nasi bungkus padam (banana leaf wraped rice with beef, chicken & coconut milk) & sate Padang (beef satay) and they were delicious. Got ES SHANGHAI for dessert (shaved ice w/ jack fruit. Palm seed, young coconut, black grass & lychee for dessert.,Sweet and satisfying. It was an enjoyable first time experience. Had to come back again about a couple of weeks later and try other dishes. This time we ordered beef bbq, corned beef fried rice and chicken satay. All good delicious and full of flavor. Peanut sauce matched well with chicken satay and sweet bbq sauce complemented the tender fall off the bone meat of the beef. Didn't have room for dessert anymore but we both enjoyed our dinner. Recommends a visit to this place for a good Indonesian cuisine experience.
The food is good, i like the padang and mie ayam. The service is good and friendly. The place is clean and spacious. It's big enough for parties. They have a lot of Indonesian food. Their price is affordable. Must try the menu!! :)

the nasi rendang was very good and a large portion. very comparable to java bistro in Rancho Cucamonga. the service was fast and they were friendly. the restaurant itself has some Indonesian snack available for sale on the side, and seats about 20 people comfortably. there are bathrooms available as well. fyi for those who haven't had Indonesian food before, there is a lot of spice used so ask about spice level if you are sensitive. read more
Another hit at Indo Bistro. Hostess was friendly and efficient. We came just before lunch time and the place was quiet with few customers on the other tables. Foods are great. Somehow the foods were lacking of " umami " compared to the other previous visits. The kotoprak was a bit bland. Sate ayam was terrific. Mie ayam Jamur also need some " umami ". May be need more fried garlic and chicken fats (?) Overall we're good. read more

A great cozy & small Indonesian restaurant! There aren't too many Indonesian restaurants in the Bay Area so it's always great to have some down in SoCal. Great menu variety, and the dishes I've tried here all satisfy my cravings. I've had the sate ayam, risoles, mie ayam, gado gado, and nasi empal. Great portion sizes and prices as well. Sate was very flavorful and tender, and the peanut sauce it came with was amazing. It is a small business and can get pretty busy during peak meal times, so don't be surprised if there is a bit of a wait for your food. read more

Colton?! Really? When I used to live here for my bachelors at UC Riverside I could only get Indo groceries here. It is only after I left, this place grew to have more authentic Asian food. Smh read more
Great place for Indonesian food. I love the small business aspect where they have local ingredients, snacks, and even baked desserts for later. The ambience feels like your in a friends house and they bring you a home cooked Indonesian meal. I got the chicken sate, which is chicken skewers with rice and peanut sauce. The sweet flavor of the chicken and the salty peanut sauce give a nice blend of salty/sweet. I recommend trying their mixed dishes where they put it in a banana leaf. The flavors mix really well and the other dishes compliment each other. Indonesian is known for their spices and will definitely make you want to get more. Great service by the the servers and workers. read more

I've been craving Indonesian food and finally found a hidden gem tucked in the corner of the plaza! Attentive staff, good food, and great price all in one! We came here 30 minutes before they close, and they willing to accept us to dine-in. Food: 5/5 Staff: 5/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Price: $ ($10-$13) Batagor: This is the closest to the one I remember back in Indonesia. It was tasty, crispy and plenty! I had to say we could use more peanut sauce. Other than that it was great! Fried Rice: Easily one of my favorite dish out of the four. Definitely will come back for this one only! Ayam Penyet: Second best dish! The chicken was tender and you can taste all of the spice. And if you like spicy, the sambal (hot sauce) is definitely a great complement to the overall dish. Mie Tek Tek: To say the least, it is not my favorite, but it's good. No complaint there. I would definitely switch up with so many other dishes on the menu. I will comeback to try other dishes. 5/5 will recommend to my friends. read more

Not from this area, but decided to venture here since it was on the way home. Ordered over $100 worth of food and products from their little shop and decided to sit down and dine-in with my friend and the food was just okay. I don't know how this place has a high rating. Be sure to also look at the negative reviews too. Just like a lot of people are saying, the staff here is very indifferent and cold. The place is a crusty hole in the wall. As an Indo American myself, I'm disappointed to say that I will never be back here again. :( read more

I am very happy finding this gem closer from where I live. I used to eat their sister property in West Covina, however the trip is pretty painful due to the long distance. Visited this place on Saturday, the place was pretty busy, especially with people who ordered to go. We tried: Nasi Ayam Kremes - Very tender texture deep fried chicken (you even eat the bone) with some crispy, served with tamarind soup and the infamous tempe, tofu & potato fritter and white rice Nasi Kuning - Yellow rice served with braised beef which has been slow cooked with coconut milk & spices (it is fork tender!!!), fried chicken (tasty), potato fritter My only comment is the 'sambal' (chili paste) that served for both menu supposed to be spicier as it is supposed to be that way. The rest, I got nothing to say more, friendly staff and simple yet cozy place! read more

Cah Kankung was delicious. 4 small pieces of Tempeh goreng was $5? And they were not crispy? What a disappointment! The risoles was chunky and i'm not mad at that. Mie Ayam Jamur was actually good and flavorful. The mie was chewy. Nasi Ikan Bakar was good and came with sweet soy sauce and green sambal. The fish was cooked to perfection. The waitress was friendly. The restaurant had AC, a big plus during the summer. read more

Cant get enough of this place. I always tell myself to go to a different restaurant but end up coming here. I'm currently failing my attempt at trying everything on the menu because I keep forgetting what the dishes are called, and which ones I have ordered before... Also would say it's a little pricey, but worth it! small place, clean, with nicest people working here. read more
After eating here more than 10 times, it's about time to chop down some notes. Indo Bistro has become one of my go-to places. I've tried a variety of dishes here and have enjoyed every single one. My favorite breakfast/brunch item is Bubur Ayam, which is actually served all day. It hands down beats the competition due to the generous size, strong texture and the extra kick of gravy that is served on the side. Another one of my favorites is Nasi Empal. The beef is very flavorful and a huge portion. Great value for the money. Overall, prices are pretty moderate, ranging from $11-16 for most dishes. As appetizers, I recommend the Siomai Bandung (steamed veggies and egg with peanut sauce) or the Sate. The skewers of Sate Ayam are thick and juicy, not skinny like some competitors. Pro tip; if you don't care for the rice cake (Lontong), just ask for meat-only and you will get 5 skewers for the price of 4. The setting is in the corner of a strip mall and laid out like a store. They have shelves with standard Indonesian non-perishables, like Sambal ABC, Krupuk, Bumbu, IndoMie and BlueBand. They get crowded on weekends, but I've always been able to get a table without waiting. They accept credit cards via Square. Food is non-pork. Parking is easy and plenty. Exit FWY 215 at Barton and go East for half a mile. read more

We ordered: Sate Padang - Padangnese-style beef tongue skewers with rice cakes Kroket - Indonesian-style croquette Nasi Bungkus Padang - Padangnese-style banana leaf wrapped steamed rice; served with beef rendang, crispy beef, chicken in coconut milk, spicy egg, and vegetable; with green and red chili sauce Mie Ayam Jamur - boiled egg noodle with chicken, mushroom, meatball, vegetables Beef tongue was flavorful and tender. Rice cakes were bland. Didn't really like the texture either. Croquettes were tasty. Flavors in the banana leaf wrapped rice were great but the meats were all dry. Boiled egg noodle wasn't particularly interesting but I think this opinion is more subjective than objective and I could understand if others enjoy this as a comfort dish. Service was good. read more

I got the Nasi Bungkus Padang. First time ever trying Indonesian food. Incredible dish. What cuisine! The meats and rice were so well spiced and fragrant, the dish came steaming in this beautiful BANANA LEAF! The chili relish (2 types) that came with it were potent and paired well. The 3 types of meats had different textures (crunchy, stewed, and fall-off-the bone) which was amazing. The greens were yummy umami/coconut flavor, and the boiled egg was also nutritious. For $15 it's a great portion and extra meat and rice I am taking home. I would have loved some fresh toppings like a "side salad" type thing just for balance/ nutrition but nonetheless this is their cuisine and I'm sure not how the dish is supposed to come. INCREDIBLY CLEAN AND AIR CONDITIONED. Felt so hygienic here. The staff is always cleaning and so welcoming and nice. Great service and a cute array of Indonesian people eating here too which attests to its authenticity. Can't wait to try their traditional desserts (which I saw somewhere else that you can ask for reduced sugar). read more
