When we entered the restaurant, the aroma coming from the kitchen was so fragant !. We ordered: spicy pinapple mushroom satay, balinese spicy shrimp satay & madura sweet soy sauce satay. Each with a distinctive flavour, fragance, aroma, & supper taste, DELICIOUS. Though the steak salad and the Sundanese Rujak had too much onion. But the taste of the Sundanese Rujak was delicious. The dessert was excellent: krakatoa banana & apple compote on a crepe with ice cream, & lime cilantro sorbet, refreshing, clean , surprisingly yummy. Go and try for yourself. Look forward to go again and try more dishes.

I went here for a friend's birthday dinner. The food was boring and the usual chewy, overcooked meats and peanut sauces. Nothing subtle or special. The chair I was in was way too close to the next table and the people banged me a billion times (waiter too). The service was horrible: we didn't get proper settings and had to wait 10 minutes to get knives. Basic people, basic. It also took another 15 to get the check. Once again, the LES has no idea how to run restaurant and the hipsters eat it up.

I am particular to Indonesian food so Kuta was a pleasant find. The food was excellent (especially the fried fish and oxtail soup), the service excellent and the atmosphere hip and intimate. I definitely intend to go back.

Great new restaurant in the LES. Mostly Indonesian menu with some Pan-Asian/Thai fusion. Specialty cocktails were excellent. They have a large selection of satay. Great deal is $25 four course prefixe - satay, app, entree, dessert. The food was all excellent and spicy! I recommend any of the satay (jimbaran/bali shrimp VERY spicy), the crabcake (best I have had anywhere), the duck, the pad thai, heck it was all good! The restaurant is small, cozy, and noisy.. but fun! When I was there, a tv station from Bali was taping a segment about the restaurant I just got back from Bali in January and won't comment on the authenticity of this compared to Balinese food in Kuta, simply because this restaurant is going for fusion. The taste and spice is generally reflective though. The Bali spicy shrimp satay at the restaurant reminded me of my dinner on the beach in Jimbaran Bay, for sure.

We went to this lovely place for a friends B'day. I actually expected a bigger place looking from the picture, however, the place is small and very intimate. It turns out better at the end since we pretty much cover the whole entire restaurant. It feels like a private party. I'm actually thinking about having my B'day party at this place. One great thing about this place is they offered a special $25 Prix Fix menu, which I think is the best way to go. Everyone ordered the Prix Fix and we all share. WOW talk about lots of food - delicious food. Top it all - they have great dessert and strange flavor sorbetto - but you should try it. I had the lime cilantro which is to die for. The right choice to end your evening. Things you must try: Pot Sticker, Crab Cake, Rujak, Phad Thai, Steak and the Duck. Oh don't forget to ask for the Sambal - "Spicy Sauce" if you dare for some Hot Twisted Taste. Bravo Kuta - This is know on the top list of where to celeberate your next party in the LES.

When I walked in I really liked the place: nice atmosphere, detailed design work, nice waitress...until I tasted the food. The pad thai was poor, the fried tofu unedible, the fish balls did not have any taste, actually I thought it was plastic. Please don't waste your money, eat at home!

I have been to this place 3 times now (I'm always there at 6-6:30 so I've not had issues with a wait) and without fail I always end up ordering the "Manado" duck with spicy curry. For me, it's so good I think about going back just to get that dish. It's boneless, crispy and just melts in your mouth. In addition, they have one of the best crab cakes I've had in a while (quite difficult to find in NY unless you're paying for the $20 one at your local steak house) - they're huge, moist and delicious, and loaded with crabmeat. To top it off, their ice cream is at the level that they could have just opened an ice cream shop instead. As far as atmosphere, the place also has that cozy exposed brick and wood feel and the staff are helpful and friendly. Will definitely head back and hopefully try other dishes... this is if I can find a way to venture away from the duck dish...
