    Delicious and authentic tasting satay rice. The curry complimented the rice really well. The service is great too.

    Very good Singaporean/ Malaysian food. The rotti with the curry sauce is very yummy! Nice and fast service. Price is reasonable. Will come back!

    Just stopped by for lunch. The Borneo rice plate is just enough for a lunch meal. The food came out fairly timely. The soup accompany's the plate which is good to clear your palate every so often while eating. You can definitely say I will return for more to try other dishes. The restaurant is clean and was not too crowded for lunch today. The server was nice. If you like this review, please click the like button. Thank you and have a good day.

    Fairly good indonesian fix. Not as good as in Indonesia, but good enough for American palate. Service could improve, but they're not rude. Need to return back to using real cutlery

    This is my entire family's favorite Malaysian Restaurant. We've tried several dishes and love each one of them. With two brothers in the culinary industry with rather particular palates, it's difficult to impress both of them and my mother's traditional palate but Uncles Fung has managed to do so. I've traveled to Malaysia and these dishes are just as good (even better) than some of the dishes I ate there. Just go...you won't regret it. UPDATE 03.12.2022 This place is a family staple. We were super sad when they closed down during COVID. We were delighted to discover they’re reopened. When we first discovered this place we LOVED it. We introduced it to family and friends and they too really enjoyed the food. After almost two years we finally made it back. We ordered a fry noodle, the chicken satay with curry rice, the Cornish Hen with the coconut rice, and the laksa. Everything was delicious!! We devoured everything. So happy they’re back, both for them and for us. Please swing by and give them a try.

    Yum! I’ve never had Indonesian food, so I have nothing to compare it to. That being said. The food was delicious! The noodles I order was like ramen and Thai curry combined. Loved it! The coconut flavor was great. I think I would try this place again and try something new.

    Overall taste is Ok. But for us, Indonesian, the size is too large. The owner & staffs are kind. The restroom is only one and too large, I think if they design two restrooms are better for guests.

    I always love the Roti Prata here. The curry sauce served with it is so cravable. Not too oily and consistently good. Menu has definitely been reduced in options during Covid. My server could not speak much english but was polite and gave me space. I chose the Ayam Goreng Kalasan Cornish Hen with Curry Stramed Rice. It was perfectly fried and delivered in a short space if time. Great for a quick lunch.

    I was thoroughly impressed with the food and portion sizes at this restaurant. Having dined here a couple of times, I couldn't resist ordering their noodle again. In particular, their Indo noodle stood out to me - the texture was delightfully chewy and perfectly consistent. The portions were also incredibly generous, as my family and I were pleasantly surprised to find out after ordering multiple dishes. The restaurant ambiance was also noteworthy, with a clean and welcoming atmosphere, including their well-maintained bathrooms. Seating was easily available, and our server was both friendly and efficient, providing excellent service throughout our meal. All in all, we were extremely satisfied with our experience, and this restaurant has definitely earned our repeat business whenever we are in the area.

    The Singapore rice was ok. The other foods were a bit bland. We love tea at Malaysian restaurants. The tea here was expensive and disgusting.

    The ambiance and service might not be that impressive, but I think the food makes up for it. I had the Hakka mee and their fresh fruit drink. It was really tasty. Driving in and out of the parking lot could be tricky, but you can also park in the next plaza and just walk over through this gap on the hedge. =)

  • 4/5 Timalee V. 4 years ago on Google
    This place is legit!

  • 5/5 Milda G. 4 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Eric T. 2 years ago on Google
    WOW! THIS PLACE IS DELICIOUS! The guy that took my pickup order over the phone was very helpful by breaking down what was what for this white boy from Michigan. I ordered the Chicken Satay, Roti Prata and the Homemade Egg Noodle Ladka. The spices and flavors were very enjoyable. 😋 It was like a meal from the heavens. If you haven't tried this place out you won't regret it.

  • 5/5 Kenneth J. 4 years ago on Google
    Great scene for tasty indonesian food. Two thumbs up for this place. The service was very kind and attentive. I can see why they have so many reviews.

  • 4/5 ChiisaiRamen 5 years ago on Google
    I haven't tried many Indonesian eateries so i don't have much to compare it to, but as far as judging it in a vacuum, it's great. My only complaint is that the ayam penyet is a bit dry in some parts but that's the challenge in using a Cornish hen rather than a full size chicken when it comes to frying it. It makes up for it with great flavors however, and the curry rice should keep the dish as a whole far from dry

  • 5/5 Bule D. 4 years ago on Google
    Highly recommended if you are in Buena Park area. Food is good and tasty. My favorite is Hokkian and Ayam Kremes nasi lemak. Yummy to my tummy....

  • 5/5 Flower T. 2 years ago on Google
    Awesome place to enjoy some Malay and Sing’s food. Will definitely come back for more

  • 5/5 Angeline K. 2 years ago on Google
    I and my friend ordered Singaporean laksa and kopi tarik (Borneo/Kalimantan/Indonesian coffee with sweet milk). The laksa was delicious and the right portion for me. The coffee was a little bit sweeter. I think for next time, I would order with 1/2 or reduced sweetness level. The coffee was delicious. Parking was not an issue when we visited this place. Within 5 miles radius from this restaurant, there are Knott's Berry, Porto's bakery, Daiso, the Face Shop, 85 degree bakery, and Zion market.

  • 5/5 Sreeradhi K. 1 year ago on Google
    Really really excellent laksa! We decided to try this place, and we were not disappointed. The Singapore laksa was superb, and the chrysanthemum tea was perfect go-with for the midly spicy fare. So good 👍🏽

  • 4/5 Pedro C. 1 year ago on Google
    I found this place to be decent Indonesian food, which is kind of hard to find lately. The rice plate I got had plenty of different meats and plenty of flavor, and it came with a warm bowl of soup. The price was pretty fair for the quantity, but I couldn't help but feel like my meal was more premade than made to order. Like everything was warm, but not piping hot and fresh? I have eaten plenty of bento boxes so its not like Im not a fan of that kind of food, but I expected something else when I sat down.

  • 3/5 Peng T. 11 months ago on Google
    Respectful for their hard works but huge room for improvement especially Laksa is far from average. Don't be mad if owner do read this review. This is frank comments (as always) and the rice for the Nasi Lemak Satay is poorly cooked, dried and sticked together without taste. Chicken Satay perhaps is the one above average. Ya, agree with other reviews, it is time to use normal cutlery for dining-in. Thank you.

  • 5/5 Mandy H. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious, authentic Indonesian cuisine. With reasonable prices, the portions were substantial. The restaurant was also clean. Would love to return to try other options too.

  • 5/5 Juan A. 1 year ago on Google
    This place offers Borneo food which is a mix of Malaysian and Singaporean food. Their Lak sa is the best I have had in Orange county and LA. Their Singapore fried rice is really good too. If you haven't tried Kip Tarik (pulled coffee) I suggest it as well, although it was my first time trying it and I don't have a point of reference to compare to.

  • 5/5 Karen P. 11 months ago on Google
    Laksa Mee -- flavorful, fresh, large portion. Chicken Satay -- delicious peanut sauce, better chicken recipe than what you find at a Thai restaurant.

  • 5/5 Corina L. 5 months ago on Google
    Best chicken satay that would give even Bali a run for its money. I was craving sate ayam a couple of months after returning from my trip to Bali and the surrounding islands when I discovered this place. It really is the best chicken satay I've ever eaten when dining out, and I've tried countless places. I've dined in and ordered for takeout/delivery from this place, and the quality is consistently great. Staff handle takeout orders with care. The Buena Park location is small and simple, allowing the emphasis to be on the food. Highly recommend this place!

  • 5/5 Alex K. 6 months ago on Google

  • 5/5 daniel s. 3 years ago on Google
    Indonesian food, mmm, so delicious. Entered near ten, it was not crowded. The service was very helpful and welcoming. This place has a great feel to it.

  • 3/5 Andrea H. 3 years ago on Google
    I gave you three stars because yes, your Ayam penyet and Ayam Kalasan were not bad. But, why they tasted the same??? Lol... Your Gado-gado has to be fresh and please chop the vegetable in smaller shape. The worse part was the Sate... I've had never eaten fried Sate Ayam before! Even my Kaukasian hubby knew it was not up to par! I almost gave you 2 stars, but if you change the way you cook, there's hope I'll give you 4! I know what great Indonesian restaurant shouldbe. I don't mind to drive further to jyst get food from them if you won't serve a great one...

  • 5/5 Nathan M. 4 years ago on Google
    After returning from my trip to Indonesia, this restaurant helped satisfy my craving for some Indonesian food. I got their “Borneo Rice plate” and enjoyed it very much. I’ll be back to try some more of the menu!

  • 5/5 Paul M. 4 years ago on Google
    One of my preferred spots for Indonesian food. Bring your appetite because portions are generous. This place has good reviews for a reason.
