The food was delicious, the staff was friendly and knowledgeable, the space was quaint and created a nice vibe.
We had the Rice table that was 3-4 courses of many different foods. Each course had great flavors and foods that tantalizing the pallette. The Seafood soup was by far the favorite between my wife and myself. However, that doesnt diminish the experience of each item served. It was all good!

It’s time to talk about the GOAT – Gado Gado.
This is an Indonesian inspired spot which is a new one for me!
Short and sweet – I thought everything we had was amazing. The flavors are quite bold, spicy and filled with umami.
My wife and I each got their version of a tasting platter They start by giving you a collection of spicy sauces and pickles to pair with all of the dishes. These sauces range in spices from a 4/10 – 7/10 in my opinion, but I don’t have the biggest spice tolerance.
They started with smaller single bites and moved to more shareable entrees – all presented in family style. Combining all the sauces with these were heavenly.
All were great, but my favorite was probably the chicken skewer, the soup, and the short rib.
Drinks were also great – get 1 or 2.
I will go out of my way to come back here. 5/5.

Easily the greatest meal we’ve eaten in Portland. Would recommend to everyone. The flavors were incredibly unique, each dish had something new and unexpected. First experience with Indonesian food and i’m floored. Our server, Ethan, (and the rest of the staff here), were so kind, guided us in all of the right directions with food, and made the night unbelievably memorable. TLDR: go! go! go!

Had this place on my list of places to try in Portland, and finally got around to going recently.
They serve some classic and some innovative takes on Indonesian food, and I was very impressed by the bold flavors in the dishes I tried.
In particular, I really enjoyed the soft shell crab papaya salad, beef rendang (with shrimp chips), and the roti canai with tomato coconut curry (first time trying coconut curry).
The yuzu aioli trout roe siu mai was also very unique and tasty, some of my favorite siu mai I’ve had.
The dishes are a definitely on the pricier side but the vibes and ambience inside are great for a nice date night or night out.
Overall I’m glad I tried, and would come back!

Fantastic experience! My first time trying Indonesian food. I went with a group of 4 and we did the rice table so we could try a lot of items without worrying much.
Started the night with Oma’s old fashioned which was excellent. The food was universally delicious. I think the flavor profiles trend towards sweet, so keep that in mind.
The appetizers were all great one biters, with my favorite being the shumai. The texture on the dumpling skin was excellent and the flavor was on point.
My favorite entree was the beef rendang and rice which was sooo flavorful. I am not a big papaya salad guy but the soft shell crab papaya salad was really great. The other stand out was the clams with curry sauce, the broth was incredibly tasty.
The service and dining room were nice.
It was an awesome first experience and I will be going back and checking out their other restaurants too.

The food was excellent. The fritters, roti, and asparagus/green pea curry was exceptional! However, the service is pretentious. Not super warm or welcoming, and the vibe just felt off. Came here for my bday (mentioned in reservation), and at the very end after paying, they returned my card with a lit candle, as the server sat it down he quickly said “happy birthday” before running off. LOL I don’t expect special treatment, but really? So odd.

Amazing experience from the general vibe of the restaurant, to the staff, and definitely the food. You cannot go wrong with the Indonesian-Dutch Feast. It is a lot of food, but so worth it to be able to try all the different flavors and textures of food. Our server Taylor was also really funny.

This place is amazing. We did the rice table tasting menu and everythung was on point. For the amount and quality, the price point seemed extremely reasonable. I would do it again in a heartbeat. I believe they create their tadting menus on a seasonal basis. Looking forward to the next installment. Definitely a lot of wow moments!

Tried Gado tonight with foodie friends because non of us had tried Indonesiannfood before. The food and drinks were fantastic and it was a great experience to try all the different flavors and textures in the dishes we tried. Being Indian, I was expecting the curry dishes to have a similar flavor to Indian or Thai curry. The curries were much milder and not as intense as Indian curries can be with more notes of acidity, sweetness and heat from chilies like you would find in Vietnamese sauces.
I enjoyed trying the variety of dishes, we went a la cart and ordered dishes that sounded interesting.

Made a reservation weeks in advance and wasn’t really sure what to expect, but Gado Gado blew my mind. Easily one of the best restaurants in Portland I have ever been to. With a peanut allergy, they were super accommodating and were able to make the dishes without peanuts, such as the chicken satay. The stars of the meal were the green curry and beef rendang. The green curry is life changing, definitely stop by here if you are in the area!
