Food was great, had take out chicken skewers and beef skewers wrap. Even when I got home the skewers tasted great, the hot sauce seemed a bit mild.The beef skewers wrap seemed like too much going on in the wrap. I can only imagine what the food taste like dine in, can't wait to try it again but this time dine in.

Very delicious satay (both chicken and beef). Authentic cendol dessert, one of the best that I have tried in North America (adding bits of jackfruit will make it perfect). Rendang beef is below average in my opinion, a little bit dry and tough.Parking: Restaurant validated free parking in the next door garage up to 3 hours
Imagine a brisk winter's day, the chill in the air prompting you to seek refuge in a charming restaurant.Stepping into Satay Sate (12 William Sylvester Dr,Toronto, ON M2J 0E9), the promise of an authentic halal Indonesian experience warms both the heart and the palate.Our winter escapade commenced with a flavorful beef marangii - tender cuts of dry-aged beef, seasoned with a variety of spices and herbs, creating an exquisite fusion of aromas and tastes.The Chicken Mie Jawa elevated the experience further, featuring tender noodles immersed in a rich Javanese-style broth, perfectly balanced with sweet soy sauce, fragrant spices, and succulent shredded chicken.Garnished with fresh herbs, crispy shallots, and a dash of lime, this stir-fried noodle dish was a sensory delight.Accompanying these culinary gems were the ayam penyet and coconut rice. The ayam penyet showcased impeccably fried and smashed chicken, delivering a crisp exterior that revealed tender, juicy meat, complemented by a tantalizing sour and spicy kick. In contrast, the coconut rice offered a sweet, luscious profile, creating a refreshing counterpoint to the meal.The feast concluded with cendol, a dessert epitomizing the tropical sweetness of Indonesian cuisine. The pandan jelly, delicately chewy and green, was generously bathed in coconut milk and palm syrup, served atop a bed of shaved ice - a refreshing finale to an indulgent meal.Whether craving a regal feast or seeking comfort during the cold winter months, Satay Sate beckons. With a diverse menu encompassing satay, noodles, rice dishes, and desserts - including vegetarian and gluten-free options - this culinary haven ensures a satisfying experience for every palette.To hear more about this review, follow us @eatinontario on Instagram, TikTok, & Facebook. ✨??

A nice modern Indonesian restaurant tucked away in an industrial area. We went on a Sunday afternoon and there were quite a few customers, about 60% full. They have a weekend menu, but you can order from the regular menu as well. The restaurant is very clean, and the servers are very friendly. There is an indoor parking lot next to the restaurant and after your meal, the restaurant will give you a coupon which gives you 3 hours of free parking.The quality of the food is good and the portions of food are reasonable for the price they charge. The service is excellent and you never feel rushed. Will definitely recommend this restaurant to others.

The service was amazing, we ordered mi goreng and the owner’s recommendation. the flavored rice was so good and the fried chicken was so much nicer than I expected. the noodle was a bit dry but the overall it was good.

I am in love! I’m so happy I found this gem! I was watching Tzuyang’s mukbang in Indonesia and was curious about the food. Satay Sate is the closest to my home. I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED! The food is soo good!!! I am going to come back!!! Also, the server who served us is a young man who plays the guitar! He is very hospitable, very friendly, not annoying type! ? I was so happy with my experience here!!! ???The lady was also very nice! ?She chatted with us for a while and made sure to make us feel comfortable. ?Terima Kasih! ?Parking: They give vouchers - “FREE PARKING FOR THE FIRST 3 HOURS.”
We loved the Ayam Goreng. The sharing platter had five pieces of chicken. We also enjoyed the Nasi Goreng, good portion but wish the flavor was a bit stronger. The beef satay was good too.Re-visit update: Had Nasi Goreng, Beef Satay, Ayam Goreng, and Mie Jawa. Everything was spot on!

If you're craving authentic Malaysian/Indonesian food, this is the closest it gets. Their food was bursting with flavor and the spice levels were perfect!While the food and atmosphere were great, we felt we were let down by the service. We were told food would take 10-15 minutes but it took well over 30. And a large group that entered after us were served before us. And they also messed up our order before they rushed in and fixed it.Mixed Sate - I found it good but my wife loved it. Their peanut sauce definitely stood out.Mie Jawa - This was bursting with flavor and was quite spicy (which I personally loved). Pair this with some extra peanut sauce/chili sauce and you'll love it too.Nasi Goreng - This was a classic. You'll get exactly what you expect (if you've had it before). Perfect blend of flavor.Ayam Penyet - It was my first time trying this and I was pleasantly surprised. It had a very authentic taste and had the perfect balance of flavor. Must try at least once.Coconut Crepe Desert - This was a weekend special and not sure what the exact name was but this was good too. Nothing extraordinary but you'll like it if you're a fan of coconuts. My wife loved it though.

We order the Shrimp Mie Jawa and Beef Rendang with Coconut Rice, and both of them were amazing. We ordered the mild spicy versions of both and it was too hot for us. The service was prompt and the interior is decently well done! Would recommend!!
