Banana Leaf - Temple City

This is the best Indonesian restaurant in Los Angeles. The flavors are authentic and remind me of home in Jakarta. I visit Indonesia frequently, so I can attest to the quality of this restaurant. I highly recommend it!

Having grown up in the lowlands, we are accustomed to eating Indonesian cuisine. However, this restaurant is the best my mother and I have ever tried. The aromatic peanut sauce for the dates and the gadot gadot left us eager to order again this week.

Good authentic Indonesian food. Worth the drive out.Food: 5/5

The restaurant offers the best food for those who are feeling homesick for their Indonesian roots. I appreciate the generous portion sizes of each meal. Being from Indonesia myself, I enjoy spicy food and was pleased with the amount of spicy chili they provided (which made me want to order again). Overall, the food here is perfect for anyone with dietary restrictions longing for a taste of home.

The food at this restaurant was excellent the first time I went, but the service was not up to par. The waitress took our food order but did not ask about drinks. After a long wait, I had to get up and find her to order drinks. When our food arrived, I had to wait for her to check on us and bring sambal. The service was not as attentive as my first visit, when the owner or manager provided excellent hospitality. Despite the service issues, I would return for the good food, with the hope that the service improves.
