Simpang Asia

Dined it for lunch here and the food was pretty good. We enjoyed the rice and noodle dishes we ordered, as well as the Martabak Manis for dessert (this dish was very filling for a small portion). There was parking available in front of the restaurant and service was friendly.

I was pleasantly surprised by how good and tasty the food is, and their presentation is a bonus. The staff is friendly. Parking could be a problem, but we got a spot right in front of the restaurant without having to wait. Food: Chicken Sate - So much flavor, the peanut sauce is probably the best in my experience Paratha - This one was a surprise. Super flaky, fresh and the sauce that comes with it complements it well. Nasi Goreng Jagger Fried Rice - They say its extremely spicy, for us it was absolutely perfect. But for most of you out there, this could be too much. One of the best, very well balanced with the omelette on top.

I used to go to this place before the pandemic, food used to be really good. Now the quality and good hygiene is gone. We ordered three plates: 1. Rames The noodles were good. Beef was bad, so chewy and felt like old meat. Chicken was undercooked and some parts were raw. The taste and flavor has gone down in quality. 2. Festival Rice Beef was not the best. But the flavors were good. Wish the original taste comes back. This plate also came with chicken and it was not cooked. 3. Lumpia This was nice, tasty with sauce. Vegetarian.

Simpang Asia is a fantastic local gem that delivers authentic Indonesian cuisine with flair. The restaurant offers a great mix of classic dishes and street food staples, making it a perfect spot for both newcomers to Indonesian food and longtime fans. The decor is inviting, and with both indoor and outdoor seating, you can choose your preferred dining vibe. The service was warm and attentive, which added to the overall experience. Portions here are generous, so come hungry or plan to share. The standout for us was the Rendang—a slow-cooked beef curry that was melt-in-your-mouth tender and beautifully spiced. It’s hearty enough to share and is an absolute must-try. Another favorite was the Lontong Cap Gomeh, which featured a whole half chicken infused with rich curry and aromatic spices. Both dishes were incredibly flavorful, and you truly can’t go wrong with either choice. Simpang Asia hits all the marks for a memorable dining experience: amazing food, welcoming service, and a cozy atmosphere. This is definitely a spot we’ll return to again and again. Highly recommended!

Halal Indonesian restaurant near downtown LA. We came for lunch on Friday and it was busy but service was great and good is acceptable to western taste. It’s a little sweet and spicy but overall great and I would recommend the Nasi kuming and Nasi bungkus.
