Honey walnut shrimp
Briana N.

I feel like there aren't too many Indonesian spots in Austin, so I was very excited to get some here! We came on a Thursday evening and surprisingly it was super empty inside. But we saw a lot of takeout orders going out, so seems like this isn't necessarily a place people eat out at. I really loved the free appetizer of fried wonton wrappers (?) idrk what it was with sweet and sour sauce. It wasn't too oily, and it was really light and crispy, and addicting. We also got Honey walnut shrimp - one of my fave dishes in general, but it came with a good amount of shrimp that was cooked really well too. The walnuts were candied and delicious, and I really liked the crispy stuff it was sitting on. Only thing is I wish it came with more broccoli. Nasi goreng - the server warned us this dish was pretty spicy, but it wasn't too bad! It was spicy enough that I was glad I had water with me at the table, but not too spicy that I needed to have water. But the egg was cooked perfectly. The rice was a little on the drier side, but they also give a lot of toppings alongside the rice, which I liked.

I forgot the name of the dish I got but it was off of the Indonesian menu. They had many items I had never seen before and a few sounded really tasty. If you're feeling adventurous, I'd recommend coming here for sure. The dish I got had some tender beef, jackfruit curry, a fried boiled egg, and some rice. The food tasted just ok but the portion sizes were very big. I'd come back and try one of their Chinese dishes; they have a big menu for that too!

Kwetiau goreng
Melissa D.

I ordered bihun goreng, kwetiau goreng and nasi padang to go. Very friendly over the phone. Food was ready very quickly. Both noodles tasted great. The rice was also good but for me it was a little too much ... chicken and egg and beef.. i wanted more veggies..growing up in malaysia we never ate like this. But I will say it was value for the amount of meat. Next time I want to go in and order each dish separately and eat it with rice. Would 100% go back again to try more.

Kwetiau, a touch too sweet but worth it
Arick W.

One of the few if not the only authentic Indonesian places in town and this place does not disappoint. The rendang was spot on with flavor and tenderness. The kwetiau goreng was a bit sweet for my taste but nonetheless delicious. The ikan goreng, fried fish, could've used a bit more seasoning but still good. Star of the show may have to be the side condiment chili sauce, our jar was almost empty by the time we left. Not too spicy and so flavorful. Dining area is very clean, prices are fair and the servers were attentive and very pleasant. A real gem for Southeast Asian food in Austin.

Crispy Spicy Whole Tilapia
Cam H.

I was so excited to try this spot because of the good reviews but left feeling so disappointed with the taste/quality of the food. The fish although was fried perfectly, very crispy, but the dish was completely ruined due to the extreme saltiness. My tongue was so numb from the salt I couldn't even eat the skin which was my favorite part... The beef rendang was also way too salty. The best thing about this dish was the egg and vegetables were decent. The soup on the side was quite the opposite, way too sweet. Almost tasted like a dessert.

Pastel
Emily K.

The best Indonesian & Chinese fusion restaurant in town! I come here quite frequently for some comfort food and it never disappoints me. Today, we had pastel, lemper and soto medan from their weekend menu, and Tofu hotpot. The Tofu hotpot is always a 10/10. It has a slight kick to it, but not too spicy and the thick broth goes very well with rice. It has abundant chicken, shrimp, tofu and other veggies too that definitely fills you up. Their weekend special menu changes every week, but the app/snack options don't really vary much by each week, so if you happen to be here on the weekend, I highly recommend the pastel and lemper. They are small, simple but very tasty.

Nasi Padang (beef)
Natalie K.

I was browsing around on Yelp yesterday, as I too often do (Lol!), and Twin Panda caught my eye because, at first, I read it as Twin Peaks, and I used to love that show! Anyway, the reviews look great, and Indonesian food is something that Hubby and I have never tried before, so we're headed there for lunch today. I will report back... We just walked in, and this place is cute and homey! They have a super-sized area of packaged snacks like taro chips, banana crisps, rice cakes, and other Indonesian faves, I'm presuming! (We're buying a few things to take home. Why not? ) When we sat down, they gave us these DELICIOUS crispy bits with sweet and sour sauce that we demolished! I opted to go the Chinese route with the Cashew Chicken combo with a pork egg roll, white rice, and Wonton Soup! Chris dove into the deep end of Indonesia with the Kari Kambing (Lamb Curry) which I applaud! He has just added Nasi Padang as a second lunch choice for him, since the delightful lady who took our order is Indonesian, and she said that this was one of the most popular dishes over there! This, I further applaud! What did we think of it all? Cashew Chicken combo with a pork egg roll, white rice, and Wonton Soup: The soup came out first, and it was piping hot! Perfect for this cold weather! The wontons are meaty and excellent. This soup is what you want when you're feeling a bit under the weather and needing a warm hug, for sure! The broth, y'all! Bright, clean, and so dang yum! The Cashew Chicken is the best that I've had in a seriously loooooong while! Plenty of cashews, tender chicken, and a dark and delicious sauce base! I'm a happy camper who would most happily reorder this! Kari Kambing (Lamb Curry): This just came out, and Chris is in love! He calls it a definite reorder, and he destroyed it in no time! He says to be very careful with the spice paste that comes with the lime on the side plate with the rice. His mouth is en fuego , but he keeps adding it, so he's about all that spice! He loves this one! Nasi Padang: He opted for the beef rendang on this one, and he said that you could cut it with a spoon! It's clearly been cooking for hours. Very reminiscent of pot roast with savory Indonesian flavors. The spicy egg on it has almost a sweet and sour vibe, and it's a perfect combination with the beef rendang! It also has a delicious vegetable curry on the plate! Another reorder for him! Bottom line, this place is LEGIT good, and absolutely worthy of the Yelp praise! Such a killer find, y'all! FYI, they have a surprisingly good beer list and wine on the menu, which we would have partaken in, if this weren't a quick lunch! Thanks so much, Twin Panda! And welcome to our regular restaurant rotation!

Soto betawi
Brian C.

I am sure the Chinese food here is fine, but we like to come and explore their Indonesian menu. I can't say I've had anything that I didn't like. This time we tried the soto betawi beef soup and the smashed chicken. We also enjoyed the Tempeh appetizer. My son enjoyed the soda gembira drink. Some concoction of flavored syrup, sweetened condensed milk and soda water. Many more options to come back and try. There are lots of people waiting four to go orders. But there is plenty of seating in the dining room. They also have a small Indonesian, grocery selection, if you are feeling adventurous and want to take something home.

Egg Drop Soup
Leah L.

The staff was extremely friendly, restaurant is small but clean. On Mondays they offer lunch specials all day with the purchase of a beverage. We ordered an iced tea and a green tea. The green tea was in a box, that's fine, but they didn't even bring or offer a glass to pour it in, and we were dining in. The portions were big, especially considering this was the lunch portion. But the food itself was just ok. Very salty. Probably won't revisit.

Mie Tek-Tek Goreng with chicken
Lan Anh V.

Austin does not have much of an Indonesian food scene if at all, so Twin Panda really is a hidden gem. It's a small family owned restaurant that I am happy to support. Service is very friendly. They even sell a few Indonesian snacks in the restaurant. Sure, they have your typical Americanized-Chinese food, but if you truly want the best of what they can offer, order off of their Indonesian menu. I recommend getting a taste of their Mie Tek Tek Goreng, Nasi Goreng Ikan Asin, or the Nasi Padang! All of their Indonesian dishes are authentic, delicious, and comforting.

Tofu Broccoli Combo
Michaela J.

I was recommended to go to Twin Panda from an Austin group I am in.So I was very excited to try! I was able to order my food online and come in to pick up. I think they may also offer delivery. Lots of great options, especially for non-meat eaters. I tried the tofu and broccoli combo and substituted fried rice. The combo also came with hot and sour soup, veggie roll, and a soda. Also, I tried the bihon with tofu. I wanted to try a little of everything so I also got a side of edamame. Overall, I really enjoyed my meal! It was tasty and very filling. The Bihon was very delicious, I'm a big noodle dish person so I enjoyed it a lot. I wish you could add a sauce to the tofu and broccoli, it does have added flavoring from the broth or oil it's cooked in but there is no additional sauce with this dish so I added my own. The fried rice was just okay, not much flavor on its own. This was a great local restaurant to try. Good portion sizes with friendly and fast service!

The Indonesian food is absolutely delicious here. I just discovered Indonesian food last year through some friends in Austin and they have introduced me to this fabulous restaurant. Unassuming on the outside but offering fabulous food within! A must try!!

Pempek (fish cake) - delicious
Marsha C.

This place has a Normal menu and an Indonesian Menu. The inside is smalll with about 10 tables. Stopped here for lunch and the staff was super friendly. We ordered off the Indonesian menu and had the oxtail soup and pempek (fish cake) dish. Both were delicious. The oxtail fell off the bone and the Pempek was nice and light and not too fishy..
