Wallflower

This is place is awesome. I went with friends after another event and it was an unexpected great restaurant experience. when i already though my evening came to an end. ALL of the dishes are so yummy and I it is a delighting tasting experience. I would recommend family style dining to try as many dishes as possible. The cocktails are all very unique and as with the food they are a pleasurable tasting experience. Indescribable! I will definitely be back...

Hip Southeast Asian spot in Venice with a strong Indonesian vibe. Drinks and food were the highlight - the Lucky Star cocktail was my favorite (skip the wine - red and white). Every dish we tried was flavorful. My group of five ladies basically demolished the spread 😂 we ordered Indonesian sauté with extra chicken skewer; Som Tam; Duck lumpia; Crab dip; Nasi Goreng; Sichuan beef; Pepes Ikan; Japanese curry chicken rice. Prices were fair for Venice, and service was good, though not above and beyond. Sorry I took no photos of dishes

If you are looking for fun Asian fusion dining experience, Wallflower is a solid place. The food packs a lot of flavor and prepared very well. Our waitress was nice and friendly. Atmosphere is charming and they have some good outdoor space. It is a little pricey for the size of the dishes would be my only suggestion to correct. But overall is an excellent restaurant.

Loved the intimate atmosphere and the music was very good! Food was delicious but a bit on the spicy side. Would highly recommend getting the jidori chicken, the braised lemongrass beef, the duck lumpias (great for sharing) and the date cake!

Incredible food. The whole fried branzino stayed crispy the entire meal and the accompanying salad was the perfect fresh counterpart. The drinks were vibrant and unique and paired well with the food. The outside seating area is draped with tons of carefully curated plants and flowers and is great if you don’t mind being near the sidewalk. 4 stars because the pricing is simply not competitive among comparable dining experiences in the area.

Wallflower takes overpriced to a whole new level for Venice. We’re used to the high prices here but for the most part you’re getting really great food and/or a large portion. The portions here are actually insultingly small for the prices. The food is good, completely forgettable. We have had many comparable dishes in the area for 1/2 or even 1/3 the price. $20 cocktails aren’t uncommon here either of course, but these were just fine. If you want an amazing $20 cocktail - which, for $20 it better be amazing - go to Si Mon a few minutes away. Sure, the ambience is nice. It’s not enough to make the high spend worth it. There are so many better restaurants in Venice, skip Wallflower.

Flavors are authentic and rich! Cocktails are unique and delicious. Service is quality, genuine and friendly. The atmosphere is intimate. Every dish I've had here has been SO good! I recommend ordering family style and sharing different plates.

I had 3 vegan options on the menu: som dtam salad, tahu gejrot and the Japanese curry (with extra aromatic jasmine rice). Everything was DELICIOUS. I will absolutely be going back. The atmosphere of the restaurant is also very cute :)

Really enjoyed the ambiance of the place, great service and the food was amazing. The crispy Szechuan beef, I could eat that everyday! The Japanese curry with the vegetables was delicious and how can you not get the duck lumpias...omg still thinking about them! The date cake to finish it up, man it was little and fluffy! They have unique cocktails as well, we were a big fan of them. Parking is street parking, doing the week there's spots you can find. Not sure on the weekends.

Very expensive for what it is. Flavors are pretty bland and nothing special. We got three dishes and it came out to 100 bucks. Fried rice was 26 bucks and was tiny tiny portions. A portion for ants. Not a fan.

In 13 years on yelp I have only jumped on here to leave positive reviews until now. Yes, we had a reservation. The host was still condescending, rude, and gave the worst customer service I've experienced in over 20 years in this industry. It was a Wednesday and wasn't even busy. No hello, or smile from her, just pure annoyance. Later, she verbalized her anger towards us (passive aggressively over our shoulders to the bartender loudly so we could hear her) I confronted her conversation about us and she stormed off. She was upset because we moved down one seat since we couldn't see the food and wanted to know what we were eating (and would have happily moved back had she ask in a way any respectful adult should). I brought it up to the bartender, since he was the one she was talking to, and he did nothing to repair or apologize for her behavior. We basically spent almost $300 to be treated like we were an inconvenience. This type of service is not cool anymore. I'm a server, and would NEVER speak to a guest like this. No thank you! Order your food togo.

We walked in on a Friday night and it was super chill, which we really appreciate. The service was nice and so fast, warm inviting atmosphere and the food was good. Personally I like the satay better as I'm a big peanut sauce lover, the duck sauce was not my favorite. Overall it's very authentic.

This is a trendy Indonesian restaurant located in Venice Beach. Both the indoor and outdoor ambiance are aesthetic and relaxing. The food was flavorful and beautifully presented. If you can't take spicy food, please make sure you tell the server. I asked for mild for the flat noodles and it was still too spicy for me. We ordered the following: 1. Crab rendang dip: this was overly sweet for me. The shrimp chips it came with were unique, and gave every bite a nice crunch. 2. Beef rendang : my partner loved it 3. Rice with chicken broth: good 4. Chinese wide rice noodles with fried tofu: The tofu was cooked perfectly: crispy on the outside and soft inside. The flavor of the noodles were too spicy for me. 5. Lemongrass Lemonade: refreshing and not overly sweet ! All in all, I enjoyed the experience because of the nice ambiance and great service. The food was a bit too rich and flavorful for me.

FOOD Disappointing. 2 of the mains were way too sweet. The chef doesn't know to balance flavors. The fish tasted fishy. Portions were small. Overpriced food, poor quality. It's a shame as pan-Asian food is exciting if executed well. SERVICE & ATMOSPHERE Host wasn't very friendly. The bartender was just miserable...it pained him to make drinks and serve people. The staff bringing out food were the only friendly bunch. The decor is nice but the restaurant was way too cold. If you're going to keep your door open on a cold night, have some heaters going inside. WOULD I RETURN? No. Overpriced, sad food with crappy service.

Interesting food and drink flavors. Expect to wait on even a weeknight for a table- their ube drink is phenomenal! Other foods and drinks were decent We got sat way too close to the table next to us to have a comfortable dinner experience. Could hear everything they were talking about (and likely vice versa). Good vibes tho. Maybe sit at the bar if you're only 2

Good was okay but soooo salty. Also way overpriced for its quality. I understand they have cute interiors but that doesn't justify the taste. I don't know why the server rushed to get the check without us even asking. Also a bit loud and I can't hear things.

Food was great and they were even gluten friendly!! We had the Bronzino which had a wonderful spicey peppers and herbs on top. It is a bit more on the expensive side but great dishes

Love that place! They have inside & outside dining. Food very tasty the only thing the portions is pretty small. Amazing for hangout with friends! Fun vibe! Music! Highly recommend noodles!

Food was 5 stars, but service put a damper on the overall experience. Our waiter seemed like he was having a bad day, and was a bit sassy throughout the meal :/ This was everyone's first time at the restaurant, so we didn't realize it was family style until the waiter came by to take our entrée orders. At this point, we all had decided on what we individually wanted, so just went ahead with ordering 1 menu item each, plus rice. Indonesian Sate ($22): 3 skewers of chicken sate were chargrilled to perfection, yet the inside was still so moist! Japanese Curry ($28): delicious, but tasted more like a Thai curry, than Japanese. The base was coconut milk, rather than a Japanese dark curry. Pepes Ikan ($38): the fish was very good, but the sambal was amazing! A little salty, so I'd recommend ordering rice ($4) with it. Crispy Sichuan Beef ($28): has a kick! The waiter warned the table the pepes ikan was a bit hot, however we found this beef to be spicier than the fish! Rendang Mamak ($38): the favorite of the beef dishes at the table. The only wish was that the portion was larger, especially for the price! As mentioned, the food was incredible, however the prices seemed a bit steep. I was very interested in getting a mocktail, but it was $16. Lastly, the restaurant is a lot larger than you would expect from the outside! There are both indoor and outdoor seating areas, and we were seated in a very private outdoor area with only 4 other tables. They also have tons of heat lamps and fire going, so I didn't how cold it was outside until I left the restaurant!

My husband and I had a date this past Sunday evening at Wallflower. We have never been before and we're in Ventura County, so it was a bit of a trek. It wasn't busy at all, and we thoroughly enjoyed the calmness in the beautiful sitting area located in the back. Ok, I do think the prices are expensive for the amount of food you get. But what makes it worth it, in my humble opinion, is the thought and creativity that went into each dish. I grew up with my Dutch-Indo Oma's cooking and let me tell you, these dishes reminded me of her cooking which for many years I've longed for. It legit brought a tear to my eye as I was tasting each dish. I think my favorite was the crab rendang dip, with the shrimp chips. But also that fried egggg. SO good. In a nutshell, the dishes were authentic with a modern twist, and we both enjoyed it so much!! Our server Jamie was a doll. We will be back to try more.

Absolutely amazing and a new SoCal fave! Everything is served family style but the portions are small enough to order an entrée per person plus appetizers. The duck lumpia and japanese curry were standouts, and the ribs and chicken were cooked perfectly and the peanut sauce with the sate was perfectly balanced. Both rice options were delicious in their own ways, but the nasi ayam was our favorite. The food came out quickly and the server was very nice and helped us order the right amount of food for our group. There's a good amount of indoor and outdoor seating and the vibe is impeccable. I would drive back to Venice Beach for more food from Wallflower anytime.

Amazing as before! Came here again and ordered almost everything on the menu. The flavors are so special and the taste is soooo good! The drinks and the food. The service is quick and friendly. The environment is great too. Dance music on the background and many smiling people. Great for dates and hang out with besties.

This Venice Indonesian eatery is just what Venice needed. It is wonderful. The staff is very nice and they get your order right the first time, even if you complicate it. Make a reservation. If not, there will be a wait. The hostess is kind and will get you in a comfortable where you will be happy. The while place is beautiful. We just love the interior. It is all kept super clean. The food is great. We decided to try several things there, as we have been doing for a while now. That way we can really decide if you want to come back. We will be back. We had jasmine rice, and a steamed rice with pandan, coconut milk and chicken broth. It was the best. We also loved the fried whole fish for two, cooked with miso sauce, a wonderful ginger salad and the outstanding branzino. Wanting more, there were a few of all, all sharing, we tried the crispy duck roll and finally the chicken sate. It was all amazing. They brought is out as it was ready, as we asked them to. we just kept ordering. You will love love this place.

I was visiting my bestie and this was probably one of our favorite places! Our waitress was so kind and personable! She recommended both cocktails (I don't remember what they were but sooo good) We shared the Duck Lumpia (not pictured) and OMG! soooo delicious! I seriously have dreams about it! The noodles and beef were so delicious but super spicy! Super cute spot and great for a date night!

I went to Wallflower for a girls night and it was the perfect choice for delicious cocktails and shareable food. We tried the cucumber tofu salad, crab rendang dip, fried rice, beef ribs, wide noodles, and chasu pork. I'd definitely recommend the noodles and chashu. Both had the perfect amount of richness and heat to counter balance some of the fresher and more acidic dishes like the cucumber salad. Note that this restaurant has the majority of its tables outside with very few indoor spots. They do provide heaters all around the patio so we were comfortable sitting outside on a chilly night.

Dined here last night for my boyfriend's birthday, and left disappointed and hungry! If you want to grab drinks with friends or for a date, this is perfect. Truly a beautiful ambiance. Beautiful bar with red lighting and very intimate seating. However, not a place to come for food. We got 4 dishes, all tasted good, but nothing too special. The portions are very small, and prices are too inflated for what you get. Was a bummer that they didn't offer any dessert or a nice touch for birthdays, but not the end all. Surely this is one of the better Indonesian / Asian inspired restaurants in Venice, but I recommend going elsewhere if you're looking for stellar Indonesian food. Service was attentive, and the staff very friendly.

I mean--WOW. This place really blew me away. I wasn't expecting much, but I was mistaken. I've loved every dish that was ordered and the service was great. Parking can be a bit tough since the restaurant is located in a neighborhood, but I've never had a problem. The interior and outdoor seating are great vibes. Very woodsy and aesthetic! We ordered the duck lumpia, nasi goreng, rendang mamak, and the char kway teow. There really wasn't one star of the night because EVERYTHING was so delicious. I will definitely be coming back for more!!!

Outstanding restaurant! Highly recommend for a special occasion as its really pricey. I loved the level of coordination between the main dishes, dessert and drink menu, like the smoking lemongrass pisco sour, went so well with the kew tiau goreng and fried rice. Topped off with a delicious banana bread

I really enjoyed Wallflower, Cobi's got some competition...! Wallflower also does Southeast Asian pretty well. I definitely want to go back to try other menu items, but from what I had everything was delicious. Must get the crab dip!! Also, loving the dark but intimate vibes of this restaurant.

Wish I could've had everything on the menu. My friend and I chose two dishes- the whole Branzino and the Japanese Curry. Both dishes came out piping hot. The flavors and the spice levels were incredible. The vegetables were done just right.l- colorful and fresh. I could eat that curry sauce, over rice, every day of the week. I really enjoyed the miso sauce over the Branzino. Everything was so flavorful!! Thank you Wallflower for a tantalizing taste experience! See you again when I come back to Santa Monica!

Well .. What can I Say ... It was okay .. Food was pretty tasty .. The place was kind of dark & it felt cold and a bit damp..,Fried Chicken was really good ... Portions were small & kind of pricey ... But check-it-out for yourself .. It might suit your fancy...

Went on a regular Thursday night and the restaurant was almost full. Service was very professional and drinks and food arrived in a timely fashion. Our table tried an array of cocktails and appetizers and all were thoroughly enjoyed. Main courses didn't disappoint either, from the Mamak to the Szechuan and vegetarian noodles, flavors were on point. The place itself is very nice and hip with cozy fires, lots of greenery and lights and a kitschy mirrored red lit bathroom.

Great food and drinks! I will say it's on the pricey side, but the crispy sichuan beef and the Japanese curry were amazing. Excellent vibes as well!

Visited twice, each time was able to walk-in for the bar area on a weekend night. Cocktails were great and bar snacks were as well. My partner enjoyed the duck lumpia and says it's his new favorite instead of chicken.

Would be five if it wasn't so expensive. But I love it here. Sit at the bar if you can't get a good table. I've had great experiences every time, with kind and considerate service. I'm not a big drinker so the Moluka (I think it's called) is a bomb alternative. Also the ambiance is my ideal levels of dark and rustic. The rotating art installations are also lovely. Music wasn't bad but it wasn't great. Wish they would lean more towards jazz or lo-fi.

I recently came here for my fiancé's birthday dinner and it was a wonderful experience! We decided to share a bunch of plates instead of ordering our own meals, which was great because we got to try many different offerings. We got the duck lumpia, pastel udang, nasi goreng, Japanese curry, pepes ikan, and some jasmine rice on the side. Of these, the pepes ikan was our least favorite as we found it difficult to eat - it is a fish (which has a good flavor) wrapped in a banana leaf but it was challenging to actually get the meat of the fish apart from the leaf. Everything else was really good! We topped it off with the English date cake (obviously we had to get dessert since it was his birthday) which was so good and a perfect portion if you're just looking for a little sweet. We did not leave hungry and perhaps could have gone with one less plate between the two of us. The ambiance is also really fun. It has a dark, moody vibe and even the bathroom has red lights. We opted to sit inside given the homeless population wandering the street - this is how everywhere in LA is though and should not be viewed as a commentary on the restaurant itself. Our server was very friendly and attentive. Definitely a fun spot for a date, dinner with friends, or somewhere to bring out of town guests who are less familiar with LA's eclectic culinary offerings!

Delightful little "hidden gem" in Venice area. Food: 11/10 the crab rendang dip and duck lumpia are must tries! the red envelope and object of affection drinks were so unique and delicious!! Ambiance (late night) (indoor): think Slytherin common room but with red accents. Small & intimate vibes -- great for girl's night and dates Service: attentive without being annoying (like my ex-bf, kidding!) A bit on the pricier side.

Great aesthetic, flavorful but not mind blowing food (for the price). Jamu (scotch, lemon, lavender ginger alcohol) - good taste with lemon which cut through the scotch well. Wished there was a stronger lavender ginger taste Nasi Ayam (coconut rice) - light coconut taste but still flavorful though more on the salty side - A little disappointed that the pandas flavor wasn't really there - it did pair well with the rendang mamak Rendang Mamak - braised beef cooked well -tender and super flavorful. Can really taste the lemongrass which is perfect - Very strong coconut flavor - Parts of the beef were very tender and fall off, but other parts were very tough and chewy Duck lumpia - fresh & hot (though could have been because we went so late and were the only ones there) - Tastes like an egg roll - Sad that the duck was shoved into an egg roll because you lose the duck texture and taste by deep frying it and rolling it in wonton skin + egg roll ingredients - Chili sauce isn't spicy. Tastes more vinegary -- All the salty dishes were covered in fried garlic/shallot. Easy touch perhaps. -- Recommended dish to get/our favorite flavor wise: rendang mamak (braised beef) -that is, if you're willing to spend a pretty penny :)

Made reservations via Resy for Friday night at 8:30 and boy were we glad we did. When we arrived, the restaurant was packed and a number of parties were waiting to be seated. We were seated inside about 10 minute after we checked in with the hostess, but we wish we had sat outside since it was so loud. Our waitress recommended ordering between 3 - 4 dishes for just the two of us, so we opted for 4 to try items that sounded good. We chose the Indonesian sate, duck lumpia, banana leaf wrap market fish, and the chashu pork. These were all super flavorful, but our favorites were the chashu pork and duck lumpia. My husband tried their Red Envelope and Jamu cocktails. I thought the Red Envelope tasted better than the Jamu, but he liked them equally. If you do want to visit Wallflower, making a reservation is a must, and request their outdoor patio in order to hear your friends and family. Till next time, Wallflower!

This is some of the best food I've had in Los Angeles in ages. Also, the staff is super kind and professional and the ambiance of the place is great. I would 100% return.

Went here Friday after seeing they advertised a happy hour on their website. When we got there they informed us they didn't have a happy hour which was frustrating but we still got drinks and appetizers (ended up being $200 for 4 drinks and a few appetizers which is way overpriced). I then contacted the restaurant to inform them about the happy hour menu on their website and received an incredibly rude response. They called my claims "egregious" and said they haven't had happy hour in 6 years. I live in the neighborhood and have recommended Wallflower to quite a few friends but will definitely not be going back after this type of service. Would not recommend. Update to review: the owner has now responded with a comment to my review 4 separate times including my full name. This directly violates Yelp content guidelines and has been taken down each time by Yelp, but the owner keeps reposting. Incredibly unprofessional by a business owner.

I grew up in SGV where Asian cuisine dominates the food scene. I've had a lot of Indonesian food in this lifetime, so I was honestly skeptical that an Indonesian restaurant on the westside would impress me. Gosh was I wrong! This place BLEW MY MIND! The food was incredibly delicious and flavorful. We had leftovers and when I had it TWO days later, I still wanted to slap someone! It was THAT good. Everything we ordered was delicious and I highly recommend all 3 items. Crab rendeng dip $34 blue crab, beef rendeng spice, shrimp chips I could really taste the lemongrass in this dish. It was so fragrant and delicious. Japanese curry $28 eggplant, bamboo shoot, konbu, nori, squash patty, baby carrot, fingerling potato The fried eggplant that came in the curry was outta this world good. I wish it came with 10 of them instead of 1. Char kway teow $26 Chinese wide rice noodle, Chinese broccoli, bean sprout, crispy egg I was kind of surprised that this dish was spicy (I love spicy foods). There were sliced chiles that really elevated the flavor. This is also a great place for a date night as there was a romantic feel to the ambiance.

This place has delicious food! The ribs were incredible, very tender. The fried rice was packed with flavor, a must order. Typical Venice ambiance.

This review is solely for the drinks. I haven't eaten food here yet but definitely need to next time. I've had a couple great, creative cocktails here and service is always very friendly. It's a chill spot to bar hop to on this street.

Amazing. The staff are so welcoming. The place is I hate to say, 'Totally Groovy' I had the Sichuan Beef ( no rice ) and the Japanese vegetable curry. Best curry I have ever had and have eaten literally thousands. This place has made a mark on me. I'll spread the word. ( as I don't live here l, so should not hurt me too much coming back. )

We had a great meal at Wallflower. I've been to Indonesia twice and really crave this food. This is an up to date and modern take on classics that are inspired and exotic. We started with the mixed drinks: I go no alcohol and had the Botanical Hemmingway, something delightful that is almost beyond description in human language. Sweet, sour, bitter, salty all at the same time. This is the goal of Indonesian foods to find the perfect balance in these flavors and everything else we had from the beef to the classic nasi goreng achieved this and took your tastebuds to a new level. Outstanding on many levels and highly recommended. Also notably gluten free friendly on nearly the entire menu!

I wish I could give Wallflower 0 stars. I have truly never experienced customer service that has been this terrible. I was wrongfully charged a cancellation fee and called the restaurant. They told me I need to email them. I've been emailing for 2 months and haven't received a response. I called and left a voicemail and called back the next day to find out they blocked my number. DO NOT EAT AT THIS RESTAURANT. They have TERRIBLE customer service.

The food was more 3.5, but I rounded up. Soooo pricey for the portions ($120 for four dishes, no drinks). They recommend shared plates for the table, 3-6 for a group of 3. We were all stuffed and only ordered 4 (*with rice, see below). Listed in order, with my favorites first: we ordered the Pastel udang, Japanese curry, Kwee Tiauw Goreng with tofu, and duck lumpia, Pastel udang ($18) the puff pastry was tender, flaky, and soaked up the delicious juices of the filling, the bites I got had good amounts of shrimp and pork. It was the size of small a typical square bathroom tile. Japanese curry ($28) is traditionally served with some sort of carb (rice, noodles), and even when we ordered, the waitress recommended rice so disappointing that 1) it's not included and 2) $4 each for two small bowls (0_0). The curry was flavorful and had a good kick to it. Duck lumpia ($22) ordered based on the number of raving Yelp reviews -- the filling was dense, couldn't appreciate any vermicelli noodles. Kwee Tiauw Goreng ($26) with tofu (+$8) Kinda crazy to me that tofu is extra and costs the same price as other meats. A noodle stir-fry. The music was a bit loud and I had to raise my voice at times to have conversation, and the indoor dining room was dark (as you can tell from the pictures, and that's with some filters applied for more visibility). They're very mindful of gluten and other food sensitivities. Street parking in the surrounding neighborhoods. Our waitress was attentive and made sure we always had water. They do have outdoor seating with string lights.

Was excited to try this place for the first time! The ambiance and service was great! However the food didn't seem to hold to the other reviews. The duck lumpia and crispy beef was pretty good! The wide noodle dish was peppery and had a ginger like taste that was overwhelming the dish. The chashu pork was good but the greens that came with the dish were a little over sauced. The jasmine rice was good and acted almost as a pallet cleanser. Ordered the object of affection which was nice and a little tart. My boyfriend had a dirty martini that in his opinion could be more dirty.

Incredible, bold tastes. Allergy-friendly, server (Jimmy) was empathetic and careful with me. Vibes are chill - prefer outdoor setting

Stopped by for one drink post dinner on a Friday night and was able to get a seat at the bar. Nice ambiance. My friend ordered a perfect manhattan and the girl who was bartending had a confused look. Not many places know how to make a perfect manhattan as you should not overmix the cocktail. I may go back to try the duck egg rolls. As I live in OC area it'll be awhile as not worth the drive with lack of service and not having our cocktail made correctly.

Hip Southeast Asian spot in Venice. Came here with a friend on a Tuesday around 6:30pm and got seated immediately. They do accept reservations but they put a hold on your card. Indoor and outdoor dining available. They have single occupant restrooms available indoors on the left hand side. Street parking. Food-wise, we got three dishes to split between the two of us, and that was a good amount of food. Everything is pricier than the taste and portion size would otherwise suggest. The duck lumpia came in 3 pieces that were cut in half (I would actually pass on this). The kwee tiauw goreng was alright - it came with a scotch egg which was a fun touch. The Japanese curry was surprisingly the best dish. Note that you need to order rice in addition to it ($4).

The food and service are good and I would recommend! However I made a reservation for Wallflower last night through Resy and agreed to a $35 cancellation fee per person. When I arrived on time for dinner I was told that even though I had a reservation seating was "first come first serve" and I had to sit a the bar with my date. It was disappointing that I made a reservation but didn't actually have anything reserved for me, especially since there was a $35 cancellation fee per person. Again the food and service is pretty good, but not sure I will make a reservation here again as I don't see the point.

I was a bit skeptical mostly because I couldn't understand the menu and didn't see many pics online. However, the food was amazing! The rib wings are AMAZING. I tried the spicy noodles and they were my favorite. I love spicy foods. We tried the tandoori chicken and it was also delicious. The drinks were amazing as well. Wish I took pics.

Cute little Indonesian restaurant in Venice. Arrived early 6 pm and the hostess wanted us to sit at a very small table for 4 and it was freezing outside - we asked to be moved indoors and the hostess gave us a little attitude about moving tables - 3 stars.. Food - Chinese Wide Rice Noodle with tofu, Duck Lumpia, Nasi Goreng, Jidori Chicken, stir fry vegetables. The best entree was the duck lumpia. The rest of the entrees were very bland, very surprised how little flavor was in the food. 3 stars

No better place to spend my final dinner for my Los Angeles trip! Indonesian/pan south Asian fare and a fun fire/wood decor--I was excited to try pretty much everything on the menu, and was glad to see some mock tail options on the menu as I'm still nursing. Crab rendang dip was a winner in my book (my traditional mother would say the shrimp chips were over cooked), and the chicken was *chefs kiss* finger licking good (I forget what the brown sauce was but I want it on everything). Nasi goreng and duck lumpia I felt I had to try (can't go Indonesian and skip these!) and I especially liked the lumpia in the sorrel leaf wrap (is this the first time I've had sorrel? It's so slightly sour/bitter/interesting). On the pricier side at $90 a head, but perhaps that's just the midwesterner in me speaking out-great date night place and would come back!

Came here for some cocktails and was able to get seating at the bar area. I ordered the Lucky Star cocktail which was delicious and fruity. My sister got the Object of Affection cocktail which was also really tasty, a little less sweet compared to the Lucky star.
