This is my first time trying Indonesian food. So let's see if they're pretty good eh or ew. They're family owned and operated, are super nice, and had a lot of yummy looking things to try but I ended up going with their chicken satay, mini chicken rice, and chicken mushroom noodles. And lemme just tell you nothing here missed. The chicken satay was super flavorful, juicy, savory, and umami and came with these chewy, firm rice cakes and a yummy creamy thick peanut sauce. This little rice box was so cute and was LOADED with flavor and food. There was half a spicy boiled egg, dry shredded chicken, chow mian, and fried tempeh. It was a bit spicy, sweet, and savory. Pure deliciousity. And the noodles? MNM. Nicely springy with a good amount of tender, juicy, soy, umami chicken and mushrooms. It even came with some veggies, crispity crunchy wonton strips, and a beef ball soup that had perfectly bouncy umami meatballs and a frangrant savory aromatic soup with plenty of green onions. Overall This place is pretty good. Chicken satay $17 Mini rice $12 Chicken mushroom noodles $15

Stopped by on Friday, 08/29/25 for the first time. My boyfriend recommended this place and wanted me to bring some food home for my mom who was born and raised in Indonesia - so this is the perfect place to bring 'home away from home', back to home! This place is huge! I purchased the following to go: - 1 Bakmie / Bihun Ayam = $14 - 1 Fried Rice / Nasi Goreng = $14 - 1 Gorengan Singkong Goreng = $9 - 1 Jajan Pasar MK - Otak-Otak = $12 - 1 Sido Muncul Tolak - Angin Permen Herbal Peppermint Lozenges = $2 TOTAL (INCLUDING TAX (9.5%) = $4.25) = $51 The food was a bit pricey but worth it since this was made in-house and the authenticity is off the chain! My mom was really happy and loved it! :) I will make sure to come back next time and bring my mom with me.

I've been wanting to try Medan Kitchen for a while and finally went on a Saturday afternoon. It was quick crowded, which is a good sign, but manageable. All the food items are neatly prepacked and clearly labeled in both Indonesian and English. There is an overwhelming selections of snacks, sweets, full meals, noodles and soup. Food is room temperature but perks up and taste fresh when heated. This is the perfect spot for food adventurers. Be warned that some dishes are quite spicy and with the massive selection, you can easily find yourself spending $100. Staff is friendly and happy to assist. There are tables immediately outside for those who want to eat right away. Fun exploration. I'll be back to try more new dishes.

Nasi Padang
Winn H.

Medan Kitchen is a well-known spot amongst my Indonesian friends; I had to try it, but... at an unpopular time... because getting here is tedious here during rush hour, and parking here is atrocious on the weekends... (iykyk) The menu is on the window, but the interior features thin aisles. Upon walking in, I was surprised that it wasn't a restaurant but instead a small market that had prepared food to-go. Everything looked freshly prepared, and in fact even picking out the Nasi Padang that I wanted, I noticed it was lukewarm. The staff noticed that this was my first time and were quick to jump in and help with paying and even warming up our food. Eventually, I ate at the tables outside. Need a drink? Water is self-serve, but of course being a market, there's also the option of Indonesian drinks and snacks in addition to the main meal. Inside the Nasi Padang, I enjoyed the beef rendang, chicken curry, and green chili. The spice was just right, and there was a generous amount of luscious rice. Filling? Yes! This could easily be two meals for some, and if treated like fast food, it'd be priced competitively! Impressively, hardboiled eggs are my least favorite form of egg, but... I tolerated the ones here. Yes, I'd gladly stuff another! (If only I had the stomach space for a second Nasi Padang, though...) Thankfully, they're to-go, so a second had to be taken to-go!

Indonesian specials! Always coming back whenever we're in LA Remind me all memories from Indonesia

Nasi Lemak
Edward S.

Medan Kitchen is an Indonesian market with several tables containing ready to go food. There's plenty of turnover, so the items are restocked frequently. Walk the aisles and grab whatever tickles your fancy. Nasi Lemak: Nasi lemak is a fragrant rice dish cooked in coconut milk and pandan, and wrapped in a banana leaf. This bundle has fried chicken and beef rendang, accompanied with fried anchovies, peanuts, sliced cucumbers, fried shallots, hard-boiled eggs, and sambal. There are fried potato matchsticks that are crispy and thin. Dining Area: There are half a dozen tables out front. Parking: The strip mall has a large lot with a couple rows of spots.

We've been here a few times. Its a nicely sized Indonesian mom and pop shop that offers a variety of Indonesian pre-packaged meals, snacks/candies, and desserts up front when you walk in. The meals are stacked and ready to grab and go which is what I usually come for. Its definitely worth coming here because the food is tasty and its fairly priced. Very filling and delicious. Parking could be tricky because the plaza has many businesses and the lot is small.

Lontong Sayur Medan

Finally got a chance to try this long bookmarked restaurant due to their Thurdays-Sunday only opening hours. Their service is excellent, if you don't see a ready packed plate on the tables you can always check with them. If they still have available items they will gladly pack it for you on the spot. I came here for their anchovy and peanut, it's always made to perfection. Once you start, you just can't put them down until you devour the whole thing. My second favorite is their maktabak, although it's super sweet, but hey! Sometimes you just need some sweetness for a bitter day. Only outdoor seating at this place, but plenty of parking at the plaza.

This place is a grocery store selling authentic Indonesian food, snacks, and drinks. They have prepackaged meals that can be taken to go or enjoyed there. They have microwaves and utensils as well as some outdoor seating. The food is absolutely amazing, so delicious and authentic. Indonesian food is packed with flavor and combines lots of different ingredients. The staff are super friendly and generous. They helped us heat up the food and gave lots of great suggestions. It is super busy and crowded for good reason.

Fried stuffed tofu
Carlo G.

Some of the best Indonesian food I've ever had! This eatery operates like a grocery store. While there are grocery items to choose from, they're mainly known for their wide selection of pre-made meals. There's a lot of meal combos which I like and there's detailed explanations on each of the meals of what each combo consists of. I ended up getting the Nasi Kuning Kumplit and it was delicious. There was good variety from a marinated egg to braised chicken over tempeh. I loved the Tumeric rice with the crispy topping and the beef rendang. I also got this crispy stuffed tofu which was great and the pastels which were also great. To drink I got the cendol and I loved the tropical and coconutty flavors of the drink/dessert. Lastly, I got the martabak which was amazing. It was like a thick pancake that was buttery, cheesy, chocolatey, and moist. Everything I had was amazing and I would come here once a week if I could. Parking can be a bit of a hassle since the lot and the surrounding lots tend to be busy depending on the time of day.

Very authentic Indonesian food and supermarket. If you time it right, go there when they just pack the food. Food would be warm that way. They have 2 microwaves for you to heat up the food. The supermarket has many Indonesian items that you can't find easily elsewhere. Strongly recommend the chendol. Yummm

This spot came highly recommended from my Indonesian friend and it got his seal of approval for authenticity. We ordered a feast via UberEats during our stay in LA, and I could tell how excited he was as he kept refreshing the app, eagerly awaiting the delivery to our Airbnb.. While this was a takeout only experience review, (hopefully next time we'll get to checkout the market) the to-go experience was impressive. I applaud them for packaging everything with care with these large bags and boxes, shows a real attention to detail. The food itself was pretty good. The fragrant rice, tender chicken and beef, and even the fish cake stood out with bold flavors. The Mango dessert was light and refreshing, although I wasn't a big fan of the sauce. We had food for 2-3 meals in our time and it was easy to heat up the leftovers. Overall, a flavorful and satisfying to go experience and definitely worth trying if you're in LA and craving Indo comfort food. Also check out their IG page and order ahead when it opens because certain items can run out.

Looks like their menu has nothing but winners. I got the rendang. For the price, my plate offered so much value in exchange for the $16.50 it cost. The ratio of protein to rice to veggies was more than reasonable. It was delicious and authentic! I didn't find it spicy. They add some sort of sambal to your plate so if you wish to, you could increase the heat. The bathroom was clean. So was the entire restaurant. And the staff were solicitous and ready to accommodate our needs.

Free Public parking is available in the public parking structure off 1st Street for 4 hours ($70 parking ticket if you get cited beyond 4 hrs) Anyways, the servers were very rude. Communication was horrible. They would be annoyed with us that we didn't know what dishes we wanted and that we didn't want the spice level offered. They would not explain to us what type of noodles the dishes had nor let us know what was popular. Ice water was brought to us with barely an ice or maybe 2-3 that were 98% melted to no ice at all. Ice coffee tastes more like milk than it did coffee. And the creepy servers would just stay there hanging over you watching you eat and waiting for you to leave. We were the first ones there requesting a table for a party of 6 and they acted like we were bothering them. Kept asking if we were ready to order when our entire party had not yet arrived.

They have an extensive menu as they serve both Thai and Indonesian food. I would say maybe some dishes are even beyond that extending to other southeast Asian regions. I ordered a beef curry soup/stew dish. It was delicious and comforting. It comes with rice and shrimp chips. My partner ordered seafood fried rice and this was surprisingly good as well. Our party ordered so many different dishes and the restaurant still delivered. Normally I avoid restaurants with too long of a menu because I feel like they're doing too much, but this one somehow pulls it off. They also have southeast Asian snacks and foods for sale on the side too, making it feel like a mini grocery store too. We came cold and starving so I'm glad the food came out quick and piping hot. Parking is plentiful. I'd definitely return when I'm craving authentic Indonesian/Thai/Malaysian food.

The staff also wears gloves when handling food. There are some hand sanitizers available for customers to use. This place is available for take outs and has some indoor seating available with limited capacity. They are sanitizing / cleaning in between customers. I mention these things in my reviews for the sake of protecting immunocompromised people like the elderly and people sick with cancer and other illnesses. COVID-19 Vaccination Proof: This establishment currently does not require proof of vaccination. While I was grabbing my food from this establishment, I asked if they had any special offers and they weren't offering any at the moment. They currently don't have happy hour. They also do not allow pets in their establishment UNLESS it's a service animal. Parking: The parking lot for this establishment is pretty big since they share a parking lot with many other establishments. The parking spot sizes vary depending on where you park. There shouldn't be any issues finding a spot. Food: I ordered an Indonesian fried rice and pork satay skewers with rice. The Indonesian fried rice was really delicious. The Indonesian fried rice had some greens, eggs, garlic, dried shallots, dried onions, raw onions, green onion, chicken, and meatball. All cooked to perfection. There were a good amount of chicken and meatballs in the dish. Both were soft, juicy, tender, and full of flavors. I love that the hot rice was slightly crunchy. It reminded me of eating rice from a hot stone bowl. For the pork satay skewers, I was lowkey disappointed that they didn't have lamb this time. I originally ordered lamb satay skewers, but they told me they didn't have it so they asked me to order a different satay skewer. I opted for pork satay skewers. This dish normally comes with rice cakes, but I'm not a fan of the texture of rice cakes, so I asked them to give me plain white rice instead. They happily obliged and gave me a bowl of white hot and steaming white rice along with 5 pork satay skewers. The marinade for the pork satay skewers had hints of garlic, lemon, honey, sweet soy sauce, and peanut sauce. An extremely delicious marinade for the pork satay skewers. The grilled pork itself was very aromatic, tender, juicy, and flavorful. So incredibly umami! A good portion for the price point for both dishes. I do agree with other Yelpers that I felt extremely thirsty after eating both dishes. Perhaps they need to tone it down a bit on the MSG. Staff: The staff here are very friendly, happy, welcoming, and helpful. They accept both cash and credit cards. There is no credit card minimum. Also, right when you walk into the restaurant, there is a very cute and small market. You can get some delicious Indonesian snacks and other things while you wait for your food. I highly recommend coming here and giving this lovely mom and pop Indonesian restaurant a try. Sooooo fricken good!

There seems to only be one server so things can take some time but otherwise, the service is good! It's located in a small strip mall with relatively easy parking but some spots can be a bit tight.

All the starters were delicious choices and, although the paratha was a little oily, it went super well with the peas and curry. The prawn curry was a flavor explosion with the prawns being perfectly cooked and the gravy rice was packed with veggies and a good amount of gravy. Some people in our party are vegetarian and everything besides the prawn curry were good choices for them. For desserts and drinks, we ordered RC Trio Delight, Smashed Strawberry Drink, and Rangoon Milk Tea.
