    Shrimp Laksa Noodle Soup
    Tasha H.

    This place is such a gem. The food is delicious and our server was super sweet and attentive. There are only a few tables but seems like they do a ton of takeout. Interior is pretty camp - it was fun to dine in! Fish cakes - never had this dish before and I loved it. Fish cakes are very smooth, not as bouncy as the Chinese kind, and the broth is SO GOOD. Tangy and savory. Combo platter - love when restaurant have these so you can try more dishes. Classic beef rendang, beef was very tender, good fried chicken and veg. Laksa - I appreciated that the shrimp were cooked perfectly, and the noodles were nice and bouncy. It didn't quite have the fishy flavor bomb I was looking for, but I haven't had indo-style laksa before so not sure if it's just a regional difference. Overall, loved my meal and will be back soon!

    R2K is the latest addition to my list of favorite restaurants in SF. Service, portion sizes, and flavors are all phenomenal! recs: padang platter combo price: ~$30/person tips: service fee included in check - Padang Platter Combo: Just the most satisfying combination of spices, meats, and textures. Comes with beef rendang, fried chicken, egg, crunchy corn + anchovies, and shrimp chips. This portion is substantial and is easily split between two people. - Shrimp Laksa: I was pleasantly shocked when this came out with soup filled to the rim of the bowl. The shrimps were bouncy, and the soup was comforting. I would have liked a bit more shrimp/fish flavor in the broth, but it was still excellent despite the lighter flavor and consistency. Chris, our waiter, was super attentive and patient with us. For a casual dining spot, I felt like I was taken care of at R2K as well as I would be at a swankier restaurant. Would easily come back to try their other dishes!

    I got this delivered and it is amazingly authentic! The Padang mixed plate has my faves of ayam goreng AND rendang. Both travelled well and super ENAK! The nasgor has a lovely flavour, unfortunately there wasn't an option to ask how pedas that you want it, but I ordered sambal ijo on the side so that is a good call. Tempeh goreng was still crisp when it reached me, so very satisfied right now.

    Ever since Berkeley's beloved Jayakarta closed, I've been searching for a truly Indonesian (not Singaporean) restaurant in the Bay Area. RASA RASA Kitchen (R2K) delivers. Located in the Mission District, R2K stands out with its bright mural and warm, welcoming vibe. The owner-chef is incredibly kind and accommodating--he even held a table for us on short notice and thoughtfully explained the dishes. We ordered kerupuk with house sambals, fried tempeh with sambal and kecap manis (delicious and vegan), Javanese-style nasi goreng, a Padang platter with turmeric fried chicken and deeply flavorful rendang, and gado-gado with rich peanut sauce. Everything was very flavorful and quite authentic. The only minor note: the kerupuk and tortilla (used for gado-gado, as a nod to the neighborhood) could have been a bit crunchier. The restaurant is spotless, artfully decorated, and full of character--even the bathroom walls are fun. A true neighborhood gem and a destination for anyone missing Indonesian food. I'll definitely be back.

    Rasa Rasa sits in a nice location and walking distance to many top rated bars. The place itself is small with few open air, casual type seating. At 18% included gratuity on all bills, there's a lot to expect from this place. The menu and ordering is online and self-serve, with the service being fast and sweet. There is no alcohol on the menu. There are few vegetarian options in each category - appetizers, entrees, and sides but none that look very familiar to the Spark social food truck location meal boxes. Opted to try the vegetarian Gado gado salad which was huge for one person but needed a bit of zest or tang to really hit the spot. The vegetarian mie goreng was delicious and the start of the show - I would recommend this. Overall a nice casual place to meet friends but wishing there were more vegetarian meal plates similar to the food truck location.

    Chicken "Soto Kediri" soup
    Alyson S.

    I am so glad to have discovered this amazing Indonesian restaurant in the city. Rasa Rasa serves comforting dishes including noodles, curries, soups, and famously Soto (traditional Indonesian dish featuring rice in soup). The interior is cozy and the staff and owner are very welcoming. I first visited Rasa on a Wednesday, unbeknownst to me of their midweek special of 50% off soups! I don't know how long the offer will last. However, $9 for a hearty bowl of meat, veggies, and rice in soup is hard to come by these days. I had the Nasi Bakmoy, sweet stir fry chicken and mushroom with rice, fish cake, and egg in broth. Super delicious, I highly recommend! I'll have to come back again to try their other dishes.

    Our platters

    First time here and we enjoyed our meal. I was the first in my party to arrive and was offered a table without having to wait for the rest of my party to arrive. Casual dining area with QR code ordering. My group of three decided to split two platters so we could try an array of dishes: the Nona rice platter and Padang platter. We upgraded both to include turmeric coconut rice (worth it!). Favorite bites included the turmeric fried chicken, beef Padang, and greens. Everything was flavorful and the dishes complemented each other well. No wait on a Saturday night: a nice spot for a quiet and relaxed dinner. A note about their ordering system: they had a flyer explaining the 18% service charge on all orders, and that tipping was optional. When we checked out it looked like the fee was only 8% so we ended up adding a 15% tip. The actual bill (after checkout, once already paid) did include the 18% charge which was not disclosed at the checkout stage. Listen to the flyer: it's correct. Otherwise you'll double tip.

    Combo platter
    Sintu R.

    By far, my favorite Indonesian restaurant in bay area. We tried their combo platter which covers most of the appetizers along with gado gado, need rendang. The service was very good as well and the ambience has cozy vibes. Oh btw, their hot ginger tea is amazing.

    Pan Fried Noodles
    Raymond Y.

    Great decor and loved the benches that made it feel like an Indonesian night market! Came here with another Yelp Elite friend and we ended up splitting a padang platter combo (with upgraded coconut rice) and the pan fried noodles w/ shrimp. I thought the noodles were very solid and tasted like a sweet/savory Indomie...only wish it was a larger portion. Padang platter was a fantastic sampler of so many different ingredients! My favorite was definitely the chicken leg quarter, which was so juicy and tender. I also really liked a spoonful of the coconut rice (definitely worth the $1 upgrade) + beef rendang + gulai greens, all in one bite. The crackers were also the perfect treat! I really loved how many different textures there were in one dish So many other interesting plates that we could've also gotten like the gado gado and nasi bakmoy, but I'll have to come again Do note that there is already an 18% service charge!

    Chicken Satay (6 skewers) (P)
    Ziling M.

    This place was somewhat disappointing. The chicken satay skewers had the texture of cardboard, just very dry, and the sauce wasn't anything special either. The noodles were the only good thing we ordered, which says a lot, considering they were basically a turned-up Indomie mi goreng, if you know what I mean. Another thing that felt out of the ordinary was the ordering process. We had to scan a QR code and order online, which is pretty normal these days, but it asked us to pay (with tip) before we even got the food or any service. The server didn't bring us water until after we had already ordered, which felt a bit off.

    laksa
    Crystal T.

    This is my first time trying Indonesian food! The service was quick, scanning a QR code to order and pay. I decided to order the sambals + crackers and laksa noodle soup. The sambals came with three flavors: shrimp, tomato, and some sort of lemongrass. All of them were very tasty and flavorful! I also loved eating the laksa, perfect for the rainy day I was having! I will definitely come back to try other things on the menu!

    Shrimp Laksa Noodle Soup
    Natalie L.

    The second we walked in, the manager (?) greeted us with a ton of energy, and it really felt like he was very prideful of the food. He talked to us about the menu and provided updates for us after we ordered, which was really appreciated! What a nice guy. As for the food, the laksa was delicious and the shrimp was perfectly plump. It was enough to feed two of us, but we also got the sambal and crackers, which were honestly the star of the show since we love shrimp crackers. I've never had things to dip it in though! One tasted a lot like bagoong (Filipino shrimp paste), another (green) was very hot, but you first get hit with flavor before the spiciness kicks in, and the third was on the sweeter side. What we did, though, was dip the crackers in the laksa soup. Really recommend doing that! The acid of the soup seems to come alive when it's with fried crackers and tastes a tad bit different than straight sipping it. Glad I found this spot, especially since we were looking into eating at Farmhouse Thai but thought it was waaaay too expensive. Would come back if I'm in the area!

    Soto Kediri
    Joyce Z.

    With sit down Indonesian restaurants few and far between even in diverse Bay Area, I was so excited to try Rasa Rasa Kitchen that opened in SF earlier last year. Beef rendang is my husband's go-to Indonesian comfort food but when I couldn't decide between two options, Joe recommended the Soto Kediri which is a super flavorful traditional Indonesian chicken and rice soup. The lemongrass, turmeric, ginger, and lime leaves is the perfect melange of flavors and with his suggestion of adding a squirt of lemon juice, chef's kiss! A side of Gudeg, a savory and sweet jackfruit cooked with spices, palm sugar, and coconut milk, it was satisfying enough to be dessert. I came back within a month for another Soto Kediri, Chickenritto, and to finally try the Pempek. Flavorful food, wonderful service thanks to welcoming owners, and bathroom humor, what more can I want.

    Are there any Dairy Free options? I saw mention of Peanuts for allergens on the menu, but what about the rest of the top 8 allergens?

    Yes, there were several dairy free items on the list. We had tofu tex, which was tofu with a peanut sauce. I believe the chicken satay and the Gado Gado, which is vegan.

We met the owner, Ming, who was welcoming, friendly, and hospitable! Looking over the menu with him, we chose some must-try chef-recommended dishes. He also gave us a dish of shrimp chips to snack on before our meal. ***OUR PICKS*** ROTI PRATHA ~ Flaky, flatbread served with curry dipping sauce. This was yummy! The roti had a crispy and chewy texture all in one. Curry was mild and sweet. 4.5/5 MIE GORENG JAWA ~ Java-style fried noodles with chicken and sweet soy sauce. Flavorful and delicious! Chicken was tender, and noodles were cooked just right. 4.5/5 SAMBAL OKRA AND GREEN BEANS (got a mix of both) ~ Loved this dish! If you want a flavor bomb, this would be it! They make their own sambal too! 5/5 LAKSA ~ rice noodles with shrimp in a coconut-based soup. The broth was soothing and mild. I think if it were spicy and tangy, this dish would shine. However, if you like mild flavors, this one might be for you. Noodles and shrimp were perfectly cooked. 4/5 PEPES SALMON ~ baked salmon fillet, seasoned with mild chili and lemongrass, wrapped in banana leaves. This one came highly recommended by Ming. He wasn't wrong! The salmon was so tender that it melts in your mouth. It was excellent and tasty!! If you like salmon, this is the dish to get! 5/5 GINGER RICE ~ Ming comped us ginger rice to go with our meal. I don't think I've ever had ginger rice this good! SO flavorful, yet not too greasy or salty like some others. I could eat just the rice and be happy!! 5/5 Everything we ordered was well-balanced and prepared wonderfully. We enjoyed our meal at Lime Tree and Ming's warm company throughout our lunch! I'm regretting not coming here sooner! We'll definitely be back! Prices are reasonable, and service and food were top-notch!!
