When friends or family come to town, this is where I take them. Food is delicious, flavorful, and fresh. The people who work here are friendly, and while the space is small, it's cozy and pleasant. Last night, we got takeout, and the quality was just as good as eating in. Acar salad and Nasi Goreng were amazing!Food: 5/5

We are familiar with Indonesian food and this has to be the best Indonesian food we've had outside of Indonesia! We had the rijstaafel, which was amazing each tasty little dish better than the one before it! We left very full and very happy and the service was warm and friendly. I highly recommend this restaurant! We traveled from Long Island to eat here, and it was so worth the trip!

This restaurant has the worst service of any place i have ever been to. after 1.5 hours, our entrees were not even ready, and they were being very secretive about when our food was going to be ready.on top of that, it took 50 min for our calamari entree to come out. genuinely the worst service i have ever encountered.

By far the worst dining experience I’ve ever had. I dined alone, and was handed the check less than 10 minutes after receiving my entrée (I had been seated barely 20 min). Both the server and owner came back repeatedly — a total of four times — to try to get me to pay while I was still eating, and felt like I was being rudely pushed out most of the time I spent eating (all told I was there for under an hour). It was extremely uncomfortable, and also confusing because there were plenty of open tables both inside and outside. When I paid, the owner gave me an insincere apology and said something about how I was just one person...which is baffling to me that that should justify being treated any less kindly. The food was fine but not good enough to warrant ever coming back. I’ve worked in food service and am very understanding of most situations, and I’ve never left a bad review before, but this was next level. Food: 4 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1 Service: Dine in
