    Tried their Ayam Penyet and it's the worst piece of "food" I've ever tasted. Dry as a bone, stiff as rocks and no flavour to speak of other than flaming HOT which wasn't even on the description. I went in hungry enough to eat a horse ajd didn't even finish a quarter of it. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND TO MY WORST ENEMY.

    A quality Indonesian food den for people who are familiar with style and presentation. Most menu items are under 20 dollars still and the food is damn tasty and authentic. A good feed any time you go.

    Oh my gosh! The Ayam Geprek is to die for. Comes with sambal garlic which is spicy and tastes heavenly. It’s basically battered fried chicken. I ordered with some rice and it was a wholesome meal. Would love to try other dishes soon.

    I had a lovely authentic Indonesian lunch at Ayam Penyet Ria in Dandenong Plaza on the weekend. Their signature dish of fried “smashed” chicken was impressive and reasonably priced. The chicken was juicy and tender. There was a mysterious but delicious crunchy coating with lots of herbs and spices - couldn’t quite put my finger on it but it most certainly did not bother me. The fried tofu and tempeh (fermented soybeans) were a great accompaniment. The sambal was quite a tingly experience - spicy, savoury and full of flavour. Then came the chicken satay. The chicken had a lovely smoky flavour which married well with the peanut sauce. It looked a bit messy on the plate but sometimes messy is good! ☀️

    Today my husband and I walked into this small Indonesian food place for lunch and enjoyed the best Indonesian food we ever had. This small take away place with a few tables to eat in is on the 3rd floor of Dandenong Plaza shopping centre. We ordered a fried chicken plate and a beef grill plate. Each plate came with accompanied fried tofu, tempeh, salad and the most delicious hot sambal or satay sauce. The fried chicken was moist inside and crispy outside and very delicious. The beef was the stand out. It was cooked to perfection and the most tastiest. I am so glad we discovered this neat, clean and lovely place that serves the most delicious food.

    So delicious for lunch. Soto Aya soup. I look forward to go back again to try other dishes...

    Only tried the Ayam soto. It is delicious but too expensive. $9 for a very small bowl. I believe their main star dish is the Ayam pennet. Do give them a try. Would be good if the soup noodles can be treated as a main dish with a bigger serving

    Tried a vegetarian meal. Tofu and Tempeh were nice, sambal very spicy.

    First try in Noble Park outlet was good, but in Dandenong outlet the chicken was dry, tasted so bad & small portions.
