As someone who’s genuinely curious about new flavors and who has enjoyed excellent Indonesian cuisine in the past, I visited Simpang Asia during a quieter weekday service.

The space appears newly renovated, with a sleek, trendy design that leans more toward a Mexican/Tulum-inspired, Instagram-friendly aesthetic. While visually appealing, it feels somewhat disconnected from the cultural identity of Indonesian cuisine. Personally, I gravitate toward more authenticity — décor, music, and ambiance that reflect the geography and spirit of the country rather than a globally generic vibe.

Service, however, was a strong point. The staff were warm, friendly, and efficient throughout the meal. One operational note: the restaurant was noticeably cold — many guests kept their jackets on — and a more comfortable temperature would greatly improve the dining experience.

Food-wise, the meal had clear highlights. The spring rolls were excellent — fresh, crisp, and well-executed. The Nasi Goreng Jagger (Indonesian fried rice) was flavorful and satisfying, delivering the bold, comforting notes you hope for in the dish. Unfortunately, the Hainanese chicken rice fell short: the aroma didn’t feel as fresh, and the portion size was quite small relative to expectations.

Overall, Simpang Asia is a solid spot worth trying, especially for those looking to explore Indonesian flavors in Los Angeles. With some thoughtful tweaks — particularly to the music selection, ambiance alignment, and temperature control — it has the potential to become an even stronger dining destination.

I enjoyed my visit and would recommend giving it a try.

Visited Simpang Venice a week ago, and throughly enjoyed it. Visited Simpang Asia today since it was open during lunch time.

Let me say it did not disappoint. Coming from Singapore, I’ve high expectations of Asian food. They definitely exceeded it and more.

The Thai Iced Tea was perfectly flavored tho a little too sweet for my tastes.

The Bihun Goreng is kinda similar to our Singapore Style Mee Hoon (星洲米粉), but was done way better with the flavour and texture.

Nasi Bangkus, with the rendang, achar, and curry chicken were also perfection – just how they should be. Nothing more. Nothing less.

We also got the shrimp chips which were very delicious and tasted like good quality chips that remind me of Indo.

Very friendly and kind staff from Indo! Met her at the previous branch and then again at this branch!

Amazing dishes, just wish they were a bit bigger. I had the sea bass and my husband had the gado gado. They were incredible, but we felt we needed a bit more food so we ordered another dish, the sweet potato curry. Also excellent!

Interior is beautiful and the staff are friendly. I would come again and order 2 sea bass for myself.

It is a wonderful place to enjoy aythentic Indonesia flavors. The food was rich, aromatic, and full of authentic taste, with spices that were well balanced and comforting. The menu offers a great variety of Indonesian and Asian-inspired dishes, and everything we tried was well prepared and satisfying. The atmosphere is cozy and casual, making it a nice spot for both a relaxed meal and sharing dishes with friends. Service was friendly and attentive, and the overall experience reminded me of home-style Asian cooking. Highly recommended if you’re craving flavorful Asian (and Indonesian ofc) cuisine in LA.

It’s been a few years since we had dinner here. The food’s quality remained about the same as before, decent, but not awesome.

The roti paratha could be crispier and the curry sauce was on the sweet side. The Nasi Bungkus was decent, but a bit confusing that was basically two (may be more) dishes combined into one banana leaf bento. The Gado Gado was interesting as well with roasted potato in a salad. Please be aware of the sauce, which was made from peanuts, so those with peanut allergies should avoid this salad. Finally, the mie ayam was okay.

The service was very efficient and friendly. Parking spaces were scarce, but we managed to find the last space when we arrived on a week night.

Very very flavorful food at Simpang. I was already impressed by their Venice location and now impressed with this one as well. Loved the Haianese chicken rice, calamari and beef stuffed rotis. I ordered the Nasi Goreng Jaggar even though I was warned of the heat. It was really REALLY spicy. So much so that I, even being a heat lover, could only finish like 40-50% before giving up because it was so hot.

Delivery review:

⬆️ The beef rendang is a winner. Not the best but solid, authentic flavors, albeit tame and a tad too sweet imo.

Bonus: enough for two, regular humans or one American from the south or Midwest.

⬇️ Laksa: bland, lots of noodles, skimpy on everything else

⬇️ That said, it’s pricy.

⬇️ Quantity + quality to price ratio

In summary, I’d order from here again, but only if someone else was paying. Or, sheer desperation and that itch needed to be scratched.

No wait, as I dined as soon as they opened on a Monday afternoon. I ordered the traditional dish, Rames. The entire dish had a variety of options to enjoy. The chicken was deliciously flavorful and I enjoyed the taste of the string beans. And it was served hot which is very important to me. The waitress was polite and she provided good suggestions on popular dishes.
The dining area is clean and stylish with a calming vibe. I will definitely return with friends!

i went here in 2023 n liked the food. decided to try it again this year. unfortunately, as an indonesian who grew up eating authentic street food in indonesia- the foods here were flavorless n very americanized :’) i saw a few indonesians said the same thing but the good reviews seems to overshadow them so i came here anyway.
overall, most of them didn’t taste authentic, except for the martabak and maybe the mie. i honestly would go back only for the martabak lol. the service was decent. pretty expensive.
