More of a 3.5 because the service and atmosphere were great but the food didn’t land. I was expecting a little more creative because I love Indonesian
The star of the show was the Pandan passion fruit custard… honestly would not go back for the food, but would come back for the dessert.
The lobster noodles and corn fritters were good, the tenderloin was okay but the Indonesian flavors fell flat, same for the escargo which was a miss.
All in the portions are quite small and unimpressive for the price, you’re definitely going more for the vibes.

A sleek spot with a compact menu of contemporary Indonesian-inspired dishes. While the food was enjoyable, the flavors didn’t fully land, with more emphasis on presentation and vibe than authenticity. The satay skewers were on the smaller side for the price – the chicken was nicely nutty and the scallop tasted fresh, though the lamb leaned a bit dry. The hamachi tartare had a fun crunch from the crispy rice, and the octopus was a clear highlight with a great char and tender texture. The lobster noodles were flavorful and peppery, though the use of lobster felt more like a gimmicky twist than something essential to the dish.
Overall, it’s a stylish spot with thoughtfully prepared plates, but the flavors leaned more refined and fusion than hearty or inventive.

I am late making this review. I visited Wayan back in December 2024 with a group of friends and the atmosphere was awesome, lively but still perfect to not be shouting over each other. The food was good and tasty, the veggies were bright, ordered the mango salad twice because it was that good, the rice was delicious; the satays were very good. Overall a great experience.

I really wanted to like this place and it was good. The food was fine (the corn side and the scallop skewers were the standouts), the service was fine and the decor was beautiful.
It was just an overall underwhelming dining experience…the prices were too high for the portion and quality. While I’m no expert on Indonesian food, I definitely wasn’t enlightened by this dining experience. The dish I was excited to try thanks to the hype was the lobster noodles – they were ok.
Everyone in my group agreed…we weren’t upset by the meal. It was fine, but we all agreed that once was enough.

I don’t normally leave Google reviews. I’m not someone who looks for problems, and I usually go into restaurants without huge expectations, I’m generally easy to please. But what happened today honestly pushed me to write this, and I’m sorry to have to do so.
Today my partner and I went to Wayan and ordered the Restaurant Week menu. We also decided to try the escargot rendang, because we’re always open to new flavors and it sounded great.
For the Restaurant Week menu, we both ordered the same items:
First course: Sate Maranggi
Second course: Chicken Lombok
The escargot rendang, unfortunately, was a complete disaster. It tasted genuinely burnt, overly smoky, with a strong “burnt” flavor, and worst of all it was extremely salty. I truly hope the chef tries it as served (New York location), because it did not taste like a dish that should have left the kitchen.
The Sate Maranggi was the one bright spot, it was tasty and enjoyable, and we ate it happily.
But the worst experience was the Chicken Lombok. There was nothing “wow” about it (it felt like a basic baked chicken in tomato sauce), and on top of that it arrived severely burnt. The burnt taste was impossible to ignore.
As for the drink: my partner ordered a Diet Coke. Honestly, I’m still wondering, did we order a Coke, or just a glass of ice? Because it felt like either the drink was mostly ice, or someone accidentally poured only a small amount of soda into it.
We walked in genuinely excited, especially because my partner is Indonesian, and we left really disappointed. Thanks for the experience (!)

We really enjoyed the Lobster Noodles and the Caramelized Beef Tenderloin—both were standouts of the meal. The service and atmosphere were also very good, which made for a nice dining experience. However, overall, the food didn’t quite live up to the high price point. The seasonal Tamarind Citrus Salad wasn’t to our liking, but aside from that, I’d rate the food about 3.5/5

Best dining experience. The chef executes the blend of french and Indonesian cuisine perfectly. I love rendang Escargot. Anyway definitely recommend this place! Enjoy my pictures

The food is indeed bland, but also wayyyyy too spicy. Don’t get the eggplant side, 1 bite and you’ll die. Atmosphere is great but overall agree that it is overrated.

An interesting concept on paper, but the Indonesian-French fusion unfortunately the flavor just didn’t hit the mark. We tried several of the restaurant’s most popular items, yet we’ve found better versions of every single dish at other Indonesian and Asian spots across the city for better value.
Ironically, our favorite part of the meal was the dessert—the Pandan Custard. When the highlight of a savory dinner is the custard, it says a lot about the main courses.

My friend recommended Wayan and I’m really glad I finally tried it. The vibe is great, and our waitress was super friendly and helpful. Drinks were on point. We ordered the lobster noodles and the pork ribs — both were amazing and absolutely worth trying. Easily 100/10, would come back again.
