Editorial Review for Indo Cafe – by Anna Roth
In Short
The tatami rooms in back are left from a previous Japanese incarnation, but the feel of this small restaurant is entirely Indonesian. The main room is graced with wall hangings, the photo-heavy menu is full of exotic dishes and the Indonesian servers espouse their love for durian and other non-Western flavors. House-made sambal and items like leper ayam--spiced chicken wrapped in sticky rice and banana leaf--and the rice dish nasi goreng are standard fare.

Some Food is good. like the Toge Cah Terasi: bean sprouts with tofu and green onion and spicy sauce. it taste like it cooks with Vietnamese fish sauce which is using in most of the Thai/Indonesia restaurants. but it will makes you to drink a lot of water later on. Fresh but the bean sprouts is a little bit raw. I ordered an Kang Kung cah Terasi- a special aisan vegetable called Ong-choy, cooked with spicy shrimp chilli paste. Bad vegetable: very very hard, like eating rubber band. taste one bite, leave it on the table for the rest of the meal time. Appetizer: don't order the Tempe Penyet and the Sate Ayam. The first appe. is a sweet sticky cake with strange chewing feeling. very sweet, so I spilled it out. Sate ayam: sticky, sweet satay peanut sauce, boiled chicken. Not tasty. so, leave it out too. All I finish is the bean sprounts dish. Haven't tried other dishes yet. Maybe not untill a very long time . Oh, by the way, the whole restaurant is filled with food smell, wear cheap clothes, no sweater. you don't want to bring the shrimp chilli smell to your house.
Pros: fresh vegetable
Cons: parking, food, slow servies.

Well... I think this place is a little over rated.. I find the food is just OK.. I found the food weren't freshly cooked.. Compared to other restaurants.. the ingredients used weren't fresh.. and the spices most probably ready-made-spices... for the price you've to spent here.. I would bet you could get something better... especially around Northgate area.. Another thing.. SLOW SERVICE... you can't make people wait 1/2 hr just to have your order taken.. COME ON.. If you really want to enjoy good Indonesian Cuisine.. GO TO SAN FRANSICO.. there you would find lots of Indonesian restaurants that will make you go speechless..
Pros: Free Parking
Cons: Food that doesn't make your day
