Only went once but I really wanna go back! It's a coffee bar/breakfast place during the day and I guess they open up the rest of the restaurant for dinner? MY ORDER: Coconut Capp Miso chocolate chip cookie Pastry with lemon grass type flavor The patio was semi-open, overlooking Main St. Service was good and the baristas were friendly! Based on the look, the tableware, cleanliness, and my order, I got the impression they pay close attention to detail and aim for a high quality experience. The pastries were PERFECT. The miso chocolate hip cookie was just the right amount of sweet--one of the best chocolate chip cookies I've ever had, I'm very picky! It was so thick and chewy. I didn't really detect a miso flavor. The other pastry was very different to what you might typically find elsewhere, which is nice they offer some diversity. I love that we have this new Indonesian coffee shop/restaurant! This is a great addition to the area. Love the vibe. Can't wait to go back to try everything else. read more

SanDai - Coconut capp, Lemongrass tasting pastry, chocolate chip miso cookies - Indonesian Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

All of my favorite brunches are so far away from me in the East Bay and SanDai joins that list. I had such a deligthful time here! I'm the self-appointed pastry girl of Bay Area...and I will tell you that the baker here deserves all of the kudos! I had the lemongrass concha, the vegan avocado blackout cupcake, the vegan muffin, and a pumpkin spice pastry. the dough on the concha was perfect - I don't usually like the mouthfeel and taste of pastries like this at paris baguette etc, because the bakery chains I find use supbar ingredients, so that the dough has a gluey texture and an artificial taste, so I can tell this one uses the best ingredient and baking techniques. Both vegan items were standouts and not too sweet. And the pastry on the pumpkin spice pastry was still crispy and well laminated (light not oily) even after a day of sitting in the car. The lemongrass flavor on the concha was perfectly balanced and very bright and I'd love to try more asian inspired flavors next time I'm here. -- For food we got: Nasi Lemak - 5/5, everything was super flavorful and the fried chicken was well-friend Gado Gado - 5/5 Kale and sweet potatoes. Another standout. All the flavors blended perfectly and could not be a more perfect bite of food. Mushroom Congee - 2/5 I have to say this was more of a mushroom risotto than a congee, the rice wasn't cooked down enough and I usually like my fusion congee to come with more things, the soft boiled egg was also not soft boiled enough for the congee and I didn't think the mushroom flavor compared to the usual umami of a normal congee. Kaya Toast - 1/5 Okay this was not kaya toast. No butter, and the wrong kind of bread ( a really hearty sourdough - I think? was used) this was just a few pieces of toast and a small jar of kaya. I was super disappointed by this presentation and def the bad part of fusion for this dish. Tastes nothing like authentic kaya toast. To make this more upscale, I'd recommend using some sort of shokupan bread instead though thinly sliced, definitely adding butter and kaya and actually toasting the entire thing together so that the butter is slightly melted with the kaya. Ginger tea - lovely, frothy, not too sweet, and perfect ginger taste. -- All in all a perfect meal. I'm a bit picky with flavors and how dishes are prepared so find most of the famous brunch places in the Bay to be subpar. So even though some of the dishes weren't perfect, this is still absolutely a 5/5 for flavor and presentation, vibe, staff. A huge shoutout to the entire staff for the inclusive vibe, and shoutout to Leo! Y'all were just so nice. I can't wait to go back and highly recommend this place to everyone! read more

Wow! What an awesome addition to downtown Walnut Creek. SanDai is everything we want aesthetically but has all the care and detail in taste that we crave. It's definitely a beautiful vibe, all the food is wonderfully plated and makes for an amazing date night or special event party! We celebrated my husband's birthday and had made reservations in advance. Even though they've just opened recently it was full so I definitely recommend making reservations! The cherry on top is everything is HALAL! We got confirmation from all the staff and the chef as well. Now let's get down to the food, we went for their Sunday brunch: Nasi Goreng: delicious! The fried chicken was crispy and flavorful over coconut rice that was not too sweet but a perfect pairing. We'd definitely get this one again! Fried chicken and waffle: deliciously spiced fried chicken with a soft fluffy waffle and a beautiful egg on top. It was almost too beautiful to eat! Ceviche: this was their special and it was served with crispy puffs. It was also very good and the seasoning was different than the Japanese or Hawaii style ceviche I'm used to BLT: I enjoyed my halal beef bacon, tomato, and avocado on brioche bun. The bacon was crispy and sauce was perfect! Burger: WOW! So so good! It was part mushroom and part beef and so soft. The entire burger was melt in your mouth and soft. Waffle with coconut cream: My picky toddler loved this! The syrup was unique, had a Indonesian flavoring to it. While I noticed the difference, my son couldn't care less and loved every bite! Dragon fruit mocktail: probably one of the best mocktails I've ever had! Beautiful and delicious! Coconut latte: delicious! Overall such a fantastic restaurant and we are so lucky they decided to spend more to get quality halal meat! Chef Nora, the head chef came out to ask us how we liked our meal too and was such a nice person. Turns out our daughters have the same name, and her daughter who is also a sous chef came out to meet us too. Overall great ambiance, great service, and amazing food! We will be back again and again! read more

I was so pleased to come across SanDai and Kopi Bar that we immediately made reservations to dine there with friends. Our party of four started with cocktails - Spicy Mangga Margarita and Pandan Slushie.  The Pandan Slushie was like an elegant pina colada, and it was perfect on this scorching day. We started with the Stuffed Whole Chicken Wings and Bakwan Elote.  The chicken wings were delicious, and the Bakwan Elotes was a delightful surprise as we didn't expect to see golden, crunchy patties.... and these patties were filled with yummy goodness. Then we ordered the Nasi Uduk Rice, Nasi Goreng Salted Fish Rice, Whole Branzino Bakar, and the Beef Rendang.  I can't speak for everyone else, but I will say that I absolutely LOVED all of the dishes.  The food was fresh and full of flavor.  I could not stop eating the Beef Rendang.  I especially loved that the Beef Rendang was topped with fresh pineapple and cucumber.   For dessert, we ordered the Passion Fruit Tart, and not a single crumble was left on the plate. The only disappointment is that our server wasn't well versed in the dishes, so he couldn't make any recommendations, answer our questions, or advise that we may need to order more of the starters as the starters only serve three.  Other than that, we were quite pleased with our experience and left with happy bellies. We are definitely adding SanDai to the dinner rotation and plan on returning soon! read more

Wowowow! I will go to great lengths to get Indonesian food, as most of the Indonesian restaurants in the Bay Area have closed. But our experience at SanDai exceeds all expectations. The decor is swanky but understated. The service is attentive. And the food was so flavorful and beautiful! Yes, the rendang is ren-delicious! The head chef even checked in at our table as we were finishing our meal! Can't wait to go back to try brunch! And tea service! read more

I have been wanting to try this place for a while now! I saw the sign while at Modern China. I have never had indonesian food and was excited to see one open up in WC. The restaurant is so cute. I walked in during my reservation time and the host took a while to seat us but I didn't mind as I was waiting for the rest of my party. The tables were really cramped together. I had to move the table to squeeze in but I love that we were placed by a window. Our server was also a bit slow to bring out water and only checked up on us a few times but this being a new restaurant I kind of expected this. I really wanted to try the Laksa Ravioli but I think the menu may have changed already. The food was amazing. We started with cocktails and the elote. Elote: So flavorful and crispy. I wish they had a bit more sauce on the side. Stuffed wings: These were huge. The glaze on this was sweet. My favorite item. Branzino: was stuffed with a tomato sauce. It was very soft and paired well with the salted fish fried rice. Half chicken: curry forward flavor. I am more of a seafood girl. I would come back to try their brunch and desserts. A good date spot for people looking to try new things! read more

Ridiculously delicious. Even on a busy night, service was on par. I feel so bad for not eating here before and missing on such delicacies. Everything we tasted was more than what you can image read more

First visit was when they first opened and we were there on Saturday around noon. We had no idea that the restaurant was only opened for dinner at that time so had to settle with their avocado coffee and some escargots. We got Shiitake Sambal Gruyère Escargot, Coconut Sugar Escargot and Roasted Peanuts Martabak Manis Escargo. Gotta say the Coconut Sugar Escargot was my most favorite. It's flaky but a bit more heavy than I thought. Second visit was on Friday night for our dinner. The place was definitely more packed than I thought but it wasn't too difficult to have a reservation on the same day. We got Beef Rendang, one of my favorite Indonesian dishes since the first time I tried it few years ago. The beef was good and tender, just doesn't have that strong flavor that I used to. I guess they made it more blend to gear towards other clientele. Also ordered the Branzino Bakar, which didn't feel like the fish was grilled. I'd prefer the skin to be more charred to feel like I'm having a grilled fish. Really tasted like steamed fish for me. The dipping sauce was also not spicy as it should be, hope they'd have the option for the spice level. The staffs mentioned that they'll be opening with lunch menu from coming week (mid July) so we might be coming back for a mix of brunch and lunch menu. Maybe also try their dessert next time when we're not too full. The portion is bigger than I thought. Some people said they don't feel full after their meal, keep in mind that for Asian food, you gotta have rice with the entrees, you just simply don't have the beef or fish alone and complain that you're not full. Just my 2 cents. read more

I had been wanting to try SanDai for a while so I friend and I went this past Sunday. This visit was the first for both of us. I had the coconut cappuccino and the farmers market gado gado. The gado gado was yummy and healthy. I especially loved the peanut sauce and black rice. The coconut cappuccino was good but I would have added some stevia to make it a little sweeter. Friend had the mushroom congee and kopi avocado. Service was friendly and server gave food recommendations. The reason for 4 stars is that it's pricey. They also have a coffee bar and pastries that we'd like to try but we were stuffed! Though it's too pricey to come here often, I'd love to come back for a special occasion and try their coffee bar! read more

We had heard such great things about this place. The service was incredible. The location is great. Everything that arrived to our table looked amazing, however it just wasn't.. The fried chicken was super juicy, however it wasn't flavorful. The Roti was great, the curry it came with would have been better if the flavor had been kicked up a notch. However, the coffee and other drinks were killer. I would pity the person who tried to stand between me and their coconut latte. Based on all the hype I heard from friends prior, I'm absolutely convinced it was just an off day. Will be back to test my theory. read more

Kinda feel a little nickel and dimed at an already semi pricy establishment. My friend wanted to come here after seeing it on her IG, so here we are for an early b-day celebration. Brunch entrees ranged from $24-$27 with the exception of a breakfast sandwich for $12. My drink (blue pea limeade) was listed in the menu for $5 but as I check the receipt to write my review, I noticed I was charged $8. We also asked for some kind of hot sauce and charged $3. Would have appreciated a heads up at least, even though it would not have swayed us on ordering it either way. Food wise: - Tahu goreng ($18): The tofu was super bland without the sauce. Drench each bite and it was definitely more interesting. 2.5/5 - Chicken and waffles ($24): The egg atop looked silky smooth and we were ready for a good egg-dribble but sadly it was cooked over hard. The chicken was dry and the pandan waffle tasted like a plain ol' waffle to me. 2/5 - Farmers market gado gado ($24): Props for the variety. I felt healthy eating this dish. 3/5 - Nasi lemak ($25): This was probably my favorite dish. All the components jived well together. The chicken, again, was a bit dry. 3/5 - Seafood mee goreng ($27): We were warned by our server it was spicy and yes my weak-a$$ needed to bust out the Kleenex for my gustatory rhinorrhea and my portable fan for my hot flash. 3/5 - Klepon ($12): Only one dessert to choose from makes it easy. Pandan mochi with a surprise warm gooey maple inside. 3/5 Service was ok. We had to flag down someone for spoons, boxes, the check. Brunch was almost $200 including tip for us three and we all ordered just one non-alcoholic drink each. IMO, spendy for what it is. read more

Had the wonderful opportunity to have lunch here. Our cousins have been here before and brought us here. They knew chef Nora from their previous visit and received a very warm welcome from her. She gave us a hug just by association. The restaurant has a very refreshing decor with beautiful wall decor of batik design on the wall. One item to highlight, if you are from Singapore or Malaysia , don't expect this to taste exactly like the food back home. I grew up in asia and have tried many asian restaurants and everyone needs to understand they need to adapt the flavor to the location they are in. I would highly recommend this restaurant if you are open to the Asian fusion flavor. We ordered the tea halia (ginger tea), uses tea, condensed milk and ginger. This is a very popular drink from Singapore. Also tried the blue pea limeade , very refreshing sourish flavor. The coconut cappuccino was a little too rich for us. Asked for a cold refreshing non sweet drink and recommended the golden hour shrub with no sugar and it was amazing. This is a definite favorite. We ordered the keropok , fish flavor. It came with sambal belacan (dried shrimp spicy paste) - was a great compliment to the nasi goreng Ordered nasi Lemak : this was done with a blue pea coconut rice, fried chicken, anchovies, spiced coconut floss , sambal terasi and peanuts. Love the interesting twist to the rice and it blends with the rest of the flavors. Give this a 4.5/5. Nasi goreng - done as a salted fish fried rice , with 3 large tiger prawns and satay, keropok and sambal terasi. Give this a 4.5/5 overall. Ordered chendol - this was a perfect finish to the meal. It has the right level of sweetness and brings you back home. Ondeh Ondeh- this is a very popular dessert from Singapore and malaysia that uses palm sugar on the inside to add that delicate sweetness to the soft spongy dessert. #makan20club read more

If you're a fan of bold, flavorful dishes, this place should be on your radar. I recently had the pleasure of diving into a spread that was nothing short of spectacular. We ordered the beef rendang-- which was delicious. Tender, juicy beef in a rich sauce -- the beef melts in your mouth. The beef satay was also great - grilled perfectly and paired with a pistachio sambal that was a pleasant surprise. The ikan Pepes (Branzino) in a coconut curry-type sauce was packed with flavor, though I wasn't expecting so many bones, so just a heads-up there. Add it to the nasi goreng and it's the perfect dish. But the best part of the meal for me was the green beans belachan. They were cooked to perfection with just the right amount of shrimp paste, these beans were bursting with umami goodness. The flavor was intense in the best way possible--definitely my favorite dish of the night. read more

5 Stars for both Kopi Bar and SanDai. A great addition to the downtown WC area! Kopi Bar: Arrived around 10am on a Saturday. The person in front of me got the last pandan cronut and I was devastated. However, I tried the pink one instead. It was alright - I always think a lot of these pastries are better if you bring them home and toast them a little more. The avocado drink was surprisingly good. I'll have to come back earlier next time to try the pandan! SanDai: Easy to make reservations as they're not too packed yet. I recommend coming with a group so you can try more dishes! We definitely over ordered (not sure the waitress has a handle on how big the dishes are yet) because we were SO full. My least favorite which also happened to be the one the waitress recommended was the Beef Rendang. It was kinda dry and just too much meat. Otherwise, my favs were the chicken wings. They also have great cocktails here! read more

We went back to SanDai again today (thanks to Chef Nora for inviting us over for a complimentary meal!) and tried their Chicken Satay, Beef Sando, Beef Rendang and Nasi Goreng. All dishes today were excellent and it feels like that the last time we had come here, it might have been an off day for them. The food today was very well cooked and was very flavorful. Chicken satay was on point like last time. The beef sando had a bust of flavors. The beef rendang was nice and soft! Truly enjoyed the service as well. Overall, they definitely won our hearts this time around! Will be coming back with friends and family! read more

My friend and I came here on a Saturday night and it was a great experience! We had gone to Bali last year, so we were really excited that there's an Indonesian restaurant and couldn't wait to try it! Things we ordered: *Prawn satay - this was delicious and absolutely perfectly cooked *Bakwan Elote - corn cakes were one of our favorite things when we were in Bali, and this was a lovely way to reminisce *Nasi Goreng Salted Fish - this could have had a bit more flavor *Beef Rendang - this was really good! So much beef and it was so flavorful! *Sambal Goreng - this was my least favorite dish, because the tempeh was a bit on the harder (less tender) side and the tofu, oddly, didn't absorb any flavor. Dessert: *Es Chendol - this absolutely reminded us of hot evenings in Bali and I would order this again! *There was also a seasonal dessert that we had, which was pretty darn good! Drinks: *Kelapa punch - amazing, would recommend this drink to anyone! It's just so perfectly smooth *Spicy margarita - lovely and delicious *Puteri Naga - really good I can't wait to try some of the other drinks next time, and also have the Kelp punch again! Overall, we had a really great meal. The service was on point, with the waiters being on top of things and bringing things out at the perfect times and checking in on us without being too intrusive. And the chef actually made the rounds during our dinner, so she came by, chatted with us and showed us around the restaurant, which made the experience that much better! Can't wait to come back! read more

Came here for Happy Hour in the afternoon. Although the Kopi Avocado was heavenly, the food items I tried were just ok. Kopi Avocado - easily the best coffee I've had this year. It was creamy, rich and aromatic. A little cup of heaven! Curried Chicken Wings - although the wings were cooked well, the flavors weren't that strong. French Fries with Sambal Aioli -the fries were crispy and tasty but I couldn't really taste any sambal. The aioli tasted more like thousand island sauce. Although I was a bit disappointed with the food, would still be curious to come back and try the regular menu. In fact, I'd come back just for the decadent Kopi Avocado. read more

A solid spot to try. The only downside is that the service is SO slow. We were the first ones to arrive for dinner, and it took over 30 minutes for all of the food to arrive.

Husband and I came here for a date night and it was pretty good. They remodeled the entire space and it is pretty sleek inside, though also a little darker/cold feeling in the back. We were seated immediately for our reservation, and our server was initially quite attentive. Husband had the kelapa punch cocktail to start and he said it was one of the best he's had before. We ordered the tiger prawn satay which had some perfectly cooked shrimp with a very small portion of some sort of sticky rice type thing--when eating it all together, so good! It also had a sweet sauce underneath it that paired well. Our next dish was the stuffed wings. Also tasty, well cooked and tender and juicy, but did use the same sauce as the shrimp so while the sauce went well with both dishes, it felt slightly repetitive. 3rd dish was the whole branzino--super flaky and flavorful with a red sauce on the side that made the dish. The side of rice was only ok. It was plated and sat under the heat lamps for the 30mins while we waited for the fish to be cooked so it was a little dry. We wrapped it up with the lapis gulung, which was well worth the calories. Wish there was more of the caramel sauce though! Our server was great to start, but after the first 20 minutes she basically didn't come by at all. We ordered another drink after appetizer was dropped and she forgot to bring it, claiming that she would check if it was up yet, but when she came back with it, it was basically a canned beer--hard to believe that she was waiting for it to be ready for us. We were out celebrating our anniversary without our kids, and were initially enjoying the relaxing pace, but after the 2nd appetizer, it took an additional 30 mins for the branzino to arrive. She didn't check on us at all after the fish was delivered. And then after we finished it, we waited another 20 mins for her to come by and ask us if we wanted our check. She didn't even ask if we wanted dessert! We had to request the dessert menu and after we ordered and ate it, it took another 15 min for her to bring the check, and then another 15 min to pick up the credit card. I get that service can be stretched thin at times, but given the open restaurant space, I could see our server standing by the food counter for much of the time she wasn't attending to us, chatting with her coworkers. Service could use a lot of improvement. Overall the food was pretty good, but service disappointing. read more

Went all the way to WC to try this place out and was happy with everything. If you want the cruffins, I would get here before noon as the last Kaya cruffin was sold to the person in front of me :( but I did get the rose Bandung at least! No line around noontime and plenty of seating inside. Very chill and non-busy seating area. Absolutely get the Kopi avocado! It's served cold whereas the regular Kopi is hot. Both drinks are not sweet and taste premium. For the cruffin, I would recommend if you like rose (which I do) and to bite deep into the center if you can on first bite as that's where all the flavor is. Similarly, for the martabak escargot make sure each bite has some of the peanut topping at the top. Happy with my experience and definitely will be back if I'm in the area! read more

This place is fairly new for Walnut Creek. We finally were able to try the food. Parking is a challenge since this is located on Main St., and Walnut Creek Parking is enforced daily so make sure you watch that meter. The place is nicely decorated with a great ambiance of modernization. The bar is pretty awesome We ordered the stuffed chicken wings. These are not your regular wings. They come in Three's . They are stuffed with mushrooms with a tamarin sauce , it was deliciously served grilled. We also had the Pandan slushy, this was delicious and refreshing. If you like coconut this is the drink for you. We had the whole Banzino, this was delicious and can be shareable, white fish cooked perfectly. The fried rice with egg was a bit fishy in regards to the fish sauce. For dessert we ordered the fried jackfruit with vanilla bean ice cream, this tasted like fried bananas. Overall, this restaurant was decent. The drinks were delicious! Our server Mario was awesome. read more

I actually really really enjoyed SanDai. However, I will explain why I only gave this place 3 stars. Food: The food was very well done and there was a lot of flavor with each dish. Out of everything, the biggest standout was the fried rice. This was easily 5/5 and had I not ordered anything else, I would have provided this restaurant with a 5 star rating. The squid dish was my second favorite but some pieces came out colder than others. The stuffed chicken wings were delicious and the sauce was excellent but the stuffing inside left more to be desired. Finally, this beef dish we ordered. It was very tough and my least favorite. Service: 3/5. As attentive as they were, they consistently interrupted my conversation and it almost felt as if they were rushing us out at the end. I didn't even get offered dessert/ know of dessert is even on the menu! Overall, I enjoyed the place and am glad Walnut Creek is coming up with good Asian food but there is a need to work on some flavors. read more

Came in on a Saturday evening for a quick getaway without the kids. The restaurant itself had beautiful decor and nice soft ambiance. Our server Frankie was very friendly and attentive throughout the meal. We can tell the menu is custom designed + printed and swapped out according to the availability of each dish. We ordered Curry Fried Chicken Wings (came out piping hot and full of flavor), Garlic Sesame Noodles (cute instant noodle style but needed more seasoning), Prawn Laksa (great balance of sweet, savory and not overly spicy. Soft home made noodle ring was a pleasant surprise to give a nice contrast of texture to the rest of the ingredients), Nasi Uduk (it has that strong pandan flavor that I love, well seasoned but not overly seasoned), Ayam Percek (hot straight out of the pan with fall off the bone tenderness) and finished off the meal with Kopi Avocado (smith like butter, a must order). Only negative was the temperature of the prawn laksa wasn't optimal as it was served lukewarm. Overall great unique flavors in every dish and fabulous dining experience and would definitely recommend this place to all my friends. 4.75 start that I'll round up to 5. read more

Overall I love the concept and the ideas behind every dish. I was initially really excited to try out Sandai. But after trying it I thought it was just ok. Nothing really stood out to me and honestly some of the dishes were bland. We tried their drinks, baked goodies, and brunch menu. Nothing really stood out and I was not blown away by anything. I think I will come back and try the dinner menu next time. I'm all about trying a place more than once. read more

This is the first time I've ever been to an Indonesian coffee and brunch spot and I'm just barely satisfied. Maybe the Indonesian coffee is not my cup of tea, but I just don't find myself coming back for just their coffee and pastries.

I might come back to try their lunch and dinner option, but so far not impressed with its coffee side alone. read more

I found reasonably priced tickets for two on Eventbrite for Sandai's High Tea service which they provide on Friday mornings. My friend and I went in right as they opened. The environment was clean and modern and calm, however the upbeat music was a bit loud and out of vibe at 10am. We were seated right away in a room near the front of the restaurant. There was plenty of natural light coming in from the large windows with an adorable tree -lined street outside. The server came by to ask about our choice of tea and mimosa. He brought out our drinks fairly quickly . The ginger milk tea was so flavorful and creamy. The pineapple mimosa was perfect. Soon after, he brought out the tray of delectables. It was stunning!! Gorgeous, colorful presentation with lots of flowers. The food was delicious but what really stood out for me was the coconut mochi! Amazing!! It's something I usually wouldn't find at a typical tea party. I was too full to eat the chocolate cupcake. At the end our meal, the kind owner came over and thank us for coming. Side note: The designer chairs are kinda weird as the legs stick out more than a regular chair, so I was kinda tripping over them getting in and out of my seat. Would have been nice to have fresh flowers on the table like I had seen in other posts. read more

i will say place is clean and nice with great ambiance. staffs are polite, attentive, and super for service. regarding the foods: 1. nasi goreng set: will say the rice too soggy and taste is just ok. i expect wow but the rice itself is no no for me... 2. nasi lemak: will say the rice needs to be mixed or cooked with more coconut cream. the fried chicken will be better if marinated with asian spices more such as with turmeric, kafir lime leaf, and lemongrass and not cooking until too dry like that ( just a suggestion ) but the sambal ( chili sauce ) is ok... 3. tahu goreng: tofu is ok but the sauce is sweet for me. when i read the menu, i thought that will use 'petis' like in asia but seems not... i came back again today in the morning and again: staffs are nice and... 1. kopi avocado: i missed the other day and i got it today. taste is just ok for me, a bit sweet... 2. chocolate hazelnut croissant: crispy yes, but too dry in the inside... overall, i think just three stars for foods and will say: taste is just ok but pricey... read more

Was able to swing by finally with my wife. Enjoyed the food very much. Love Indonesian. My wife absolutely loved the crab dish. Place is very nice and the staff is nice but it was slow and the place was crowded. Have to figure out a good time to come when it's not as crowded. Also the price is what mostly keeps me from doing 5 stars but maybe I'll upgrade after another visit. read more

Very cute ambience and authentic Indonesian food. The pastries are freshly made and mouth watering Lu delicious! Weekend brunch is from 10-2 with several options.

Over the past year SanDai/Kopi Bar has become my favorite restaurant in not just Walnut Creek but the entire Bay Area. The food here is unlike anything you can find elsewhere. In my opinion it is the rising star of Walnut Creek dining. I grew up eating Indonesian and Malaysian/Singaporean food and while I love homecooked or casual food it's so refreshing to find these dishes at a more elegant dinner or brunch setting. My partner and I have made SanDai our go-to date night spot. Also I love how Chef Nora and her team put a strong emphasis on using locally sourced seasonal ingredients and how creative they get with all their dishes. One of my favorite things about SanDai is they host so many unique events and dining experiences, such as their Balinese Luau, Paint N Sip, and their new High Tea offering. Not many restaurants in the Bay Area offer such a diverse slate of dining experiences. For people looking for an everchanging yet always delicious dining experience, SanDai can't be beat. I love coming by for a coffee and a pastry, and I love bringing family or friends here for brunch or dinner. I was so excited when I saw them announce they would be offering high tea. High tea has been harder and harder to find in the Bay Area in the past decade that I'm thrilled anytime any place offers it. But SanDai's high tea is beyond amazing. The beef rendang empanada is possibly the best empanada I've ever eaten. The rose pistachio croissant was to die for. And a cherry tomato pistachio sambal ricotta tart? Come on. Where else can you get that?? I won't say where but I've been to high tea in the Bay recently where it definitely felt like the whole point was the "aesthetic" but the food itself left much to be desired. SanDai is not like that at all. Every dish was delicious AND beautiful. It won't be your traditional English-style high tea but nothing about SanDai's food is traditional. And don't worry there will be PLENTY of food. We were struggling to finish everything. I don't usually go out of my way to write updated reviews but this restaurant deserves to succeed. It is such a special place and offers something that you just can't find elsewhere. The team is so passionate and every dish, pastry, drink is so meticulously crafted and well thought out. Every staff member is so kind and helpful, from the baristas to the servers and hosts. I love coming back here. It's such a warm and enjoyable place to dine. read more

This review is for breakfast at Sandai and kopi bar . I really liked their breakfast sandwich , their avocado drink is amazing , cocunut cappuccino is pretty good but beware it is strong ! I also ordered golden latte which doesn't come with espresso so it's a steamer in my opinion! Good ambiance , service is cordial . More breakfast option would be great !!! read more

Have been here on three occasions at night. walk ins always welcome. Great service from the bar to the dining. Love the drinks here. They have nonalcoholic and seasonal menus as well. My mom, loved the jackfruit smoothie. Also love the clarified coconut milk/horchata Dinner menu: Had the rendang, short ribs, muscles, nasi goreng, and green beans. They all had that Indonesian fusion flavor: spicy and sweet. Will have to come back to try their brunch and Kopi bar/ coffee bar! read more

This is just my experience. Irs OK. The food is OK, the drinks are OK, but nothing spectacular. I especially did not like the Nusa drink.... Something about the coconut and gin flavors not mixing. All the foods were just OK. 2.5 out of 5 rating We got the beef rendang, branzino, garlic noodles, Ayam Percek chicken dish, and Nasi Goreng fried rice dishes. The only thing I really enjoyed was the beef rendang, which is funny bc that was my least favorite when I visited Indonesia twice. Overall, I'd give this place a 3 out of 5. Would probably not visit again. Nice staff and ambiance. Def noticed the attentiveness went away once you got your food. read more

This place has legit Indonesian/Singaporean food!!! I was so surprised to see it open in downtown Walnut Creek of all places. And it was nice to see a mix of people dining here. Singaporean/Malaysian food is very unique and may not appeal to all people. They should honestly market this place to more Asians. Connect with local tiktokers and IGers, because I hope they stick around. The decor and service is very modern and westernized perhaps to appeal to the Walnut Creek crowd. They also need to add more dishes to the menu, it's very limited and during dinner it's def missing stir fry noodle dishes, like mie goreng which is only served for lunch. Also most dishes in Indonesia are spicy, and I think they need to alter their dishes to have non-spicy/mild options without compromising on flavor. Looking forward to its progress!! Congrats on the opening. We ordered the Chili Crab with steamed buns, Nasi Goreng, Nasi Uluk, and a Chicken dish, : Excellent! Reminded us of being right back in Singapore. read more
