Indo Ranch - Lake Forest
Indo Ranch
Description
Tucked into a modest California storefront, this family-run Indonesian eatery pairs a small grocery with a Padang-focused menu of bold, home‑cooked flavors. Favorites like nasi padang, rendang, gado gado and fried rice earn praise for authenticity and taste, though guests report uneven seasoning, occasional toughness, variable portion sizes and slow service. With limited seating and ongoing renovations under new management, it’s a casual, friendly spot for adventurous diners seeking hearty, authentic Indonesian dishes and hard-to-find pantry items.

Growing up in Holland and having lots of Indonesian friends I can't believe how few Indo restaurants are here in Cali. Indo Ranch is fantastic and trust me, I know. Everything we had, gado gado, Rendang, egg balor, sateh all was well prepared and delicious. Please open a restaurant in Huntington Beach Next time I want Rendang padang!! And next time will be soon!!
I absolutely love the food here, especially the spicy beef and the spicy egg. My favorite dish is the lontong cap gome.
Chicken noodle is soo good!!! Nasi padang is good but need more bumbu gulai dan rendang Friendly service Fair waiting time but can be a little bit longer during peak hours.
Family run restaurant with a small market of Indonesian snacks on one side of the store. The food is mostly Padang style with common traditional dishes. Met my basic expectations for home cooked Indonesian dishes without having to drive to SG.
I recently visited this restaurant and had a disappointing experience. The food was just okay, but it didn't taste fresh. The portion sizes were extremely small; I only received one piece of meat when I ordered a combo. We requested the noodles to be a little spicy, but they added an overwhelming amount, making them inedible after just one bite. I had to order additional dishes because we were still hungry, and I had to order everything separately. The portions I saw in the photos looked much better than what we received. In the end, I paid $90 for two people, and I will not be returning.
