combo #3 is like a tasting platter with a little of everything: satay skewers, soup, some rice on the side. the char on the skewers adds a nice depth to the flavor profile. highly recommend upgrading the soup to the coconut beef one (Soto Bewati)! adding a little green chili sauce balances the creamy soup well.
Soto I think has better taste than sate at this place.

This place is delicious. Recommend the lontong, sate ayam, and gado gado. Prices are reasonable as well. Everything I tried was well prepared and used authentic spices.

10/10If you’re looking for authentic Indonesian food in LA, this is the place!Their beef rendang and satay is absolutely delicious! Oh and don’t forget their fried banana as a dessert.
I rarely review stuff but it’s also super rare to receive such a perfectly elegant and utterly tasty bowl of food ??? will definitely be back ?

The best Indonesian food we've tasted in LA area. Came for dinner around 6:30 on Friday night. Early (& lucky?) enough to find parking in front but there's ample parking behind and above, we're told. The interior was clean and bright, and comfortable. Host/server was a friendly young man whose mom is the cook in the kitchen. Coming from SE Asia, I was very pleasantly surprised at the authenticity of the tastes of what we ordered: Nasi kuning, nasi bungkus and chicken sate were tasty and generously portioned. The belinjo crisps transported me home, and I was happy to taste them. Sate was tender and delicious, as was the rendang which came with the bungkus. The chicken penyet quarters which came with both rice dishes was richly flavored and not dry. Nasi kuning came with a telor balado, perkedel, Mie goreng,keropok, emping and the aforementioned ayam penyet. Bungkus was served wrapped up (bungkus!) in a banana leaf with beef rendang, ayam penyet, telor balado, some cooked vegetables and keropok. We finished everything, and pledged to come back to try the other dishes, even if it meant driving an hour across town! We'll be back, with friends!!

Bakwan jagung (corn fritter) and sate ayam (chicken satay) are very authentic. I think the chicken satay peanut sauce is better than Uncle Fung Borneo!

When it comes to Indonesian food in the area, there are strong contenders, including Mr. Sate. Rival to the more-famous Simpang, Mr. Sate holds its ground by serving a wonderful array of sate. I ordered some chicken sate, along with spring rools, nasi goreng, and mie tek tek. Delivery was quick, and we were ready to dig in...The verdict? Chicken sate was flavorful and the meat tender, the spring rolls crunchy and not overly greasy, and the nasi goreng wonderful with chewy rice and plenty of delicious veggies. However, I found the mie tek tek to be on the bland side, the noodles not as flavorful as the ones from Simpang. However, the spring rolls and nasi goreng tasted better than what I've gotten from Simpang, although next time, I'd go for medium heat, as I found mild at Mr. Sate to be not spicy at all.Overall, I'd say Mr. Sate is a new favorite of mine, especially for its sate and nasi goreng. Worth a try while in the area!

I've lived by this place for so long but finally had a chance to try it! We went here for dinner on a Saturday evening and sat outside on their patio. It was quite busy with most of the indoor tables taken. I ordered the nasi bungkus and my partner got the mie goreng combo. The food came out pretty quickly. I thought the beef rendang in the bungkus was a little dry but I LOVED the turmeric fried chicken. It was crispy but tender inside and cooked perfectly. My only other taste of Indonesian food is Simpang asia up the road and the flavor was similar overall. The mie goreng was tasty and came with 2 chicken sate skewers and another side - don't remember the name. Portions were overall quite large as well. There is a sign that says free parking in the back, but I live close enough to walk here. There is also street and neighborhood parking. Dog friendly patio and they even brought out a small water bowl for our dog!
Decent, authentic tasting food, the gado gado was
