Sunil R.

Really enjoyed Makanmakan. The Indonesian food was very good and full of flavor. We tried dishes like the rendang, nasi goreng, and chicken satay, and everything was delicious. I am starting to appreciate the food in this area more...it's not as bad as everyone says.

Parking is so easy as they have their own lot. We were able to pull in and find parking immediately out front. Walking in, the restaurant has seating for about 30 people. Service is fast that it doesn't seem to be a problem as we were immediately seated at a table in the back. We went on a weekday for lunch and there were people coming in and out, but didn't seem to cause a wait time for anyone. Food is tasty but portions for the appetizers seemed a little small in quantity (quality was great tho). We would definitely go back again to try more things.

Sticky rice and Mango
Daniel A.

Where else can you get this type of cuisine in Utah??? And it's sooo good! Loved the Curry Fish--a tad spicy for those who don't handle spice well but I Loved it. They have a set group menu that we ordered off of which gave you an appetizer, rice, noodles and two entrees. A great way to sample everything they offer. The Mango sticky rice was the best in Utah I've had and included ice cream.

Sego Bungkus
Andrew L.

Came here for dinner on a Monday evening. Only a few tables were occupied, so we were seated and served fairly quickly. We overall had a great experience and I highly recommend giving them a try if you're in the area! I had the Sego Bungkus as my entree and we shared the martabak telor as an appetizer. I will note that they brought out the food as it came, not in appetizer to entree order The sego bungkus was a sampler platter of several different entrees and I really enjoyed it! The rendang was a clear stand out to me, always been one of my favorite dishes so not a big surprise. The curry chicken was also very tasty and the sauce that came with the greens had a really nice flavor The martabak telor is a meat and eggs stuffed scallion pancake that packs quite a flavor punch! I had a hard time identifying the seasonings they used but it felt more south Asian than anything else we tried Overall i thought this was a great spot and hope I have the chance to come back in the future!

Mango sticky rice
Paige T.

Truly a mixed experience, and I'm glad we tried it. Loved- the crispy and chewy roti, unique fusion menu (lots of new foods to try!), sweet and extra-crispy wings, having a fully-cooked fried egg and rice crackers on my noodle dish, servers were prompt and kept our waters filled all the time. Didn't love- the space has an unidentifiable unpleasant odor, even when you first walk in. All dishes except for the wings were lacking in flavor- the firecracker chicken wasn't spicy, and the curry sauce with the roti was watery and pretty bland. Our consensus for almost everything was "it's ok, but it needs something". The worst- the mango sticky rice is covered in ice cream! This is so unusual and wasn't noted on the menu or by the server, so I couldn't actually eat the dessert I was looking forward to. Please make a note of this on the menu so that people know what to expect!

Ayam Bakar
Allyson L.

I was only in Salt Lake City for a weekend but this place was the best meal I had! Their ayam bakar is chicken in a special sauce with pickled cucumber salad and wow. I had one bite and there was a flavor explosion in my mouth! It was SOOOO good with rice. I would come back just for this chicken. Just sooo delicious. I'm so glad I decided to come and order food here. It's nice you can order online for pickup since I had my dog with me. I could run in to grab my food and I was out right away. I also had the roti and that was so good as well. Nice and crunchy and went well with the sauce it came with. HIGHLY recommend getting food here!

Chicken Wings
Mikaela B.

Service was great! There was just one gal doing the whole wait room but she was super friendly and prompt. The star meal was the shrimp in sweet butter sauce. Shrimp was cooked perfectly. The sauce on the wings was also very good. The pork ribs could probably be skipped - sauce was nothing special. Was quiet around lunch time which was nice to be able to talk.

Honey Glazed Lollipop Wings

EAT HERE! I love to try new places, but Makanmakan has been a years long standby. It's excellent every time I eat here without fail. It's not close to my end of the valley but the commute is absolutely worth it when I'm in need of a meal that will be delicious every time. I've had the chance to explore the menu over the years and I have some favorites, definitely the chicken wings and the sweet and spicy pork ribs are at the top of my list. The ribs are always tender with a sweet crispy glaze, the flavor is perfect and consistent every time. Fast and friendly service, it's very clean, seating for small parties but it looks like some tables can be pushed together. It's not loud and I've never needed to wait for a table. I'm always amazed how quickly the food comes out. The pricing is very reasonable, beers are $5.50 each, just a great product for a great price. Worth trying everything on the menu!

Ayam Penyet
Bethany W.

YES order the duck ahead and YES it is worth it haha. This place has really gotten better with time. If you haven't had Indonesian food, come here and try it!! You won't find another restaurant like this unless you're on the coasts. The duck with the homemade sambal was too good and I honestly stuffed myself way too full haha. Other dishes we always get are the cah kangkung, gulai kambing, nasi goreng Jawa, and gado-gado (some indonesian classics!). And try some Indonesian style tempeh. As someone who's been to Indonesia many times, I can say this is the closest you'll get to the real flavors and dishes! Service is always fantastic and fairly quick. And inside is well-lit with natural light and has a lot of seating! They also sell some Indonesian shelf-stable foods inside, so take a look at those too!

I've been here several times and this place doesn't disappoint. Hailed as an Asian street food restaurant, Makanmakan highlights an Indonesian centric menu. Casual atmosphere, sit down dining service. Kitchen is open so you can watch them cook if you like. I've had the wings and would recommend again. This visit I ordered the Martabek Talor as an appetizer. It's like an egg and meat omelette filled inside egg roll paper, but presented and served handheld style like a walkable crepe. Crispy outside and flavor filling. I could see myself walking through a night market in Asia eating this. For entrees, I tried something new for me. Spicy fried chicken. It's literally half a chicken that's cut up quartered, fried and covered in this delicious spicy sauce. I was a bit skeptical since it was a sambal sauce, but it was a good surprise. This can be a messy dish, prepare to eat with your hands and should only be ordered if dining with someone you're comfortable with. The other dish was Crispy Noodle dish. This has been a reliable go to. A huge portion, be ready to share or pack leftovers. A bed of fried crispy egg noodles, covered in a flavorful sweet soy gravy and variety of protein and vegetables. The surprise of the dish is this breaded and fried fish. Crunchy outside, moist inside, and tasty. If you're looking for a change on the typical Asian cuisine, I'd recommend this spot.

Combination plate So so, so yummy love the options
Tayjah M.

Loved everything about this place! One of those I want to keep eating but literally can't We got the lumpia appetizer did not disappoint super super crispy I got the combination plate. It had a bite of everything, but I think the winner was the chicken curry. And the noodles were so good and it comes with rice! Can't believe this place has been here for this long and I've never tried it. Will be back

Red Curry Fish, Roti Canai, Ayam Penyet, Nasi Goreng Jawa
Ryan H.

This was a solid find! Legit Indonesian food and they have a mini mart to buy authentic Indonesian snacks, chilies, etc. Highly recommend getting the ayam penyet and red curry fish! The chicken was a massive portion, they gave us a half chicken and the sauce was spicy and extremely flavorful! Red curry fish was fried but still crispy in the delicious curry sauce.

Great spot for some Chinese food…read more I was visiting some friends in Utah and they were really excited to take me to this restaurant. They said it was their favorite in town and that I just had to try it so I was really excited for it. When we arrived, we didn't realize, but it was prom night and so a lot of kids were dressed up in there prom outfits. Because we made a reservation, we were seated quickly. The server was really friendly and very helpful, very knowledgeable of the menu. We decided to do it, Family style and ordered a couple different things to share. We started off with an order of their Dumplings, then ordered cashew nut chicken, beef, and broccoli, and fried rice. The Dumplings were really big and fresh, so that was super good. The flavor was really nice. The cashew chicken was so good! The sauce that they used in the flavors were really good. The beef and broccoli was also yummy. The sauce with the seasonings that they chose, tasted like your traditional beef and broccoli. The fried rice was also very traditional. Definitely something you would expect. Overall, all the food had really great quality and tasted exactly how you would think so. I definitely think if you're looking for Chinese food in Utah, this is a great place to start.

Sad day: Very disappointing experience tonight. Between the 4 of us, we've probably spent a…read morecombined 100 years dining at Mandarin, which made this experience even more frustrating. We ordered 4 entrees family style to share at the table. Three dishes came out fairly quickly, but the 4th dish didn't arrive for nearly 30 minutes. Since we were all sharing the meal, we eventually ate the three dishes while waiting, and by the time the final entree arrived, the meal was basically over. When we brought the issue up to the manager, instead of focusing on customer service or finding a reasonable solution, we were met with excuses. She said, "If I take it off the bill, I have to take it off the table." That completely missed the point. We ordered the dish because we wanted it as part of our meal -- we weren't asking for it to be taken away. After making us wait 30 minutes while the rest of the table had already finished eating, the obvious customer service move would have been to acknowledge the inconvenience, comp the dish, and still let us enjoy what we ordered. Instead, Tess focused on explaining "owner policy" rather than taking care of a customer issue. After decades of loyalty to Mandarin, it was genuinely disappointing to experience such inflexible and poor customer service over something that should have been handled far better. By the way Amber our Server was great
