The spicy sambal that came with it was also delicious with the right level of spice. The gado-gado was super worth it with tons of veggies and delicious peanut sauce. The oxtail gulai sauce is flavorful. However, the oxtail itself is tough. I kinda wish they use the gulai sauce on other meat like chicken that's more tender. Overall 5/5 on flavors! We can't wait to come back and try other things on the menu. This restaurant is takeout only and parking was crowded. We just put our hazard lights on in front of the restaurant while picking up the food.

The marinated short rib was nice and tender but a little too sweet for my taste. Still very good. I'm not big on fish, but this was pretty good. The beef rendang was by far the best dish we had. It had nice coconut flavors. The main issue was the service was extremely slow. We were served appetizers about 45 minutes after sitting down. I understand they were busy but this was a bit much.

Booking was easy online and we were provided with the menu we'd be making. Chef Jay and his staff were so friendly, and the space we cooked in was very cozy.

This event was so worth it. I would recommend this to any one of any skill level. My partner and I are by no means chefs, but our food came out perfectly. I can't wait to come back and take another class here, or stop by for dinner!

This beef rendang is delicious!…read more Actually everything I've had so far is delicious. Whether you get the beef rendang, chicken curry, the fried fritters, etc,..... by far my most favorite dish here is the dry, slow cooked Beef Rendang, which is so tender and spiced well. I sometimes will just get a container of the beef rendang to eat for another day. Definitely skip the plain rice and go with the coconut rice. Do not let your food get cold, the fried and curries are always much better when warm. This is a family run business, the food quality is excellent and service is very personable. They are active on instagram with their specials for the day as well. The ambiance is more of a take and go with a few indoor outdoor tables next to the building for the lunch crowd. Parking is behind the restaurant but the ground is unpaved and bumpy.

Started with the chicken veggie spring rolls app which is usually a safe bet. These were meh-a little damp and not as sprightly as I would want. For mains the mie goreng was okay, didn't feel strongly about it. Our favorite was the beef ribs w/ rice, which was really nice tender meat that fell right off the bone. As much as we liked the latter dish, two ribs for $25 was a bit pricy for takeout. Probably will continue exploring other options without feeling a need to repeat an experience here.

Being plant-based and pescatarian, our options seemed a bit limited. So, we tried the shrimp fried rice and shrimp chips which were delicious. We also did the stuffed tofu which had veggies inside.

The people at Satay were very kind and happy to be a part of the area for food options too.

It is buffet style, so all of the dishes are laid out on a food line and you order at the counter. I highly recommend the Nasi Padang ($14) as it was SO much food and everything was very delicious. The kale was cooked in coconut milk which was aromatic, creamy, and slightly spicy, but still retains that slightly bitter edge. The egg is coated in sambal which is definitely spicy but pairs so well with the rice. The beef was tender and fall apart and the sauce was thick and so flavorful. The chicken was also fall apart soft. The highlight of the dish was getting to eat each component with the coconut rice. The coconut rice is some of the best I've ever had!! It's hard to explain what it tastes like but it's the perfect blend of coconut, salty, sweet, and very savory. I would say it's much more traditional tasting compared to Sky Cafe (another popular Indonesian spot). They take cash/venmo/zelle (I think)! It is incredibly worth it for the price. Definitely want to support a smaller, local business!

We looked at the options around us, considered dietary restrictions, and decided Penang was the place for us. And they did not disappoint! Service was great... We were immediately seated. The weather was a bit chilly, and when we requested a new space away from the door, we were accommodated without incident. When I tell you the roti with curry changed my life?? I could eat that everyday and not get tired of it?! It's sooo perfect! Sheesh! We ordered a lot of different dishes, so we kind of shared around the table, leaving nothing to be desired. The green curry seafood in clay pot was delicious! I mean, every variation of curry I tasted was somehow the best curry. Haha The mango fish was sooo good! The fried vegetable dumplings were amazing. I will surely be back. I don't even care if I have to get it delivered, I will be enjoying this food again!

I've been here multiple times since moving to Philly, and Penang has always been my go-to spot for…read moreMalaysian food... but honestly, that might be changing. The food quality has noticeably gone downhill over the past few months. To start, my party of four asked for a pot of hot tea. The server told us it would be $5, which is fine--especially since it was freezing outside and the restaurant itself was cold (the heat didn't seem to be on). But near the middle of the meal, I asked for a refill (literally just more hot water), and the server came back with the owner/manager and said it would be another $5. That's ridiculous. The tea is already made--charging another $5 for hot water is wild. The service didn't help either. The server was pretty stoic, and the whole interaction felt awkward, especially while I was trying to order off a QR code menu that had zero descriptions of the dishes. That lack of explanation definitely caused issues. For example, we ordered the Singapore rice noodles expecting something curry-based, but it tasted like a sweet-and-sour ketchup sauce instead. Not good--and totally avoidable if the menu actually explained what the dish was. As for the food, the roti canai was disappointing. The curry was watered down and lacked flavor compared to previous visits, though I'll give credit where it's due--the roti itself was nicely toasted. I don't know what changed, but something clearly did, and it feels like a leadership issue. Overall, this visit was really underwhelming, and I won't be coming back anytime soon unless things seriously turn around here.

Overall Ratings Atmosphere - 5/5 Service - 5/5 Food - 5/5 Parking - Street Parking Atmosphere - The restaurant is on the smaller side with limited seating, but it feels modern and thoughtfully designed. I especially enjoyed the artwork throughout the space. Service - We had the chance to chat with one of the owners and learned they have only been open for a couple of years. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming, and I truly hope they continue to see the success they deserve. What We Ordered - -Chicken satay (Very good, with a peanut sauce that isn't overly heavy or overpowering like at some places) -Beef rendang (An incredible dish. We were both impressed by how rich and flavorful it was) Final Thoughts - I would definitely recommend visiting this restaurant if you are ever in the area.

Some standout menu items: the kwetiau goreng tastes just like home, especially with the lapchong--yuuummmm so good! The kwetiau siram was equally delicious. The capcay, while not exactly like what you'd get in Indonesia, is still the best I've had in the U.S. On my most recent visit, I had the nasi ayam goreng, which also one of my favorites. The sayur asam is perfectly balanced, and the ayam goreng kuning is also delicious. What I really appreciate about Djakarta Cafe is the consistency--the flavors have been great for years and that's what keeps me coming back. And the service is always wonderful too.
