Satay Sate Indonesian Food

Really delicious food with decent portion sizes! I especially enjoyed the nasi goreng, ayam penyet (fried chicken), and the chicken satay, but everything was good! We got quite a bit for two people, but I’m glad we got to try it all! Great place to get Indonesian food in North York!

By my request, my husband and I visited this Indonesian restaurant. Compared to other Indonesian restaurants, Satay Sate is more affordable and has variety of options. We ordered Nasi Kuning Combo, Gado-gado, Satay (with tofu), Nasi Goreng (with tofu), and Es Cendol as the dessert. I'm very impressed with the management decision. The space is small but comfy, with an industrial feeling. The decoration reminds me of different places in Indonesia (Javanese masks, pedicab, Balinese puppets). But they played Western pop music and yes, the visitors were not only Indonesians. I am an Indonesian from Jakarta, accustomed to both salty (Sumatran) and sweet (Javanese) flavours. The food menu, I believe, is mainly from Java island. They did, however, incorporate Mie Ayam (originally from South China), Kue Talam (Batavian food), Ikan with Sambal Matah (Balinese). One thing I regret is that they didn't have many staffs. It was 3 staffs against 3-4 families, with moderate turnaround. But overall, I'm glad we enjoyed our time. Flavourful, delicious, and fulfilling!

Great Indonesian cuisine, super authentic and a great location as well. There's a large menu with a variety of options - the nasi goreng is a classic. Service is friendly and efficient as well.

This Indonesian gem is a must visit!! The incredible service by Jeanne Watulo, owner and Chef is unmatched. From start to finish, the flavours of every dish dazzles the senses. The Bakwan Jagung (corn fritter) delights your taste buds! All the sates are delicious and are served with Chef Watulo’s homemade peanut sauce. You will ask for more peanut sauce when you taste it!! The star of our visit was the Nasi Goreng (Indonesian fried rice). This restaurant should be on the Michelin Guide!! Absolutely incredible and very highly recommended!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Came here for dinner, the staff was attentive and friendly. They took time to explain the menu and gave suggestions. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. Would recommend to come for dinner or lunch. You can also validate your parking if you park in the parking garage beside the restaurant.

Its a halal indonesian restaurant. We ordered Nasi Goreng with chicken(2people can share), Chicken skewers with peanut sauce (it was yummy), Soto Ayam and Ikan Samnal Mata. Food tastes good, restaurant am in was nice, washroom was clean, staffs were friendly. Overall a good experience.

Never had Indonesian food before, but wanted to try something new. With nothing else to compare to, I would say it was decent. I ordered the martabak with ground beef and the nasi kuning combo, while my friend ordered the Balinese grilled fish. The martabak was decent and the nasi kuning had some nice flavours as well. Atmosphere is really nice in this restaurant. Nice and bright, and very spacious. One thing I'd note is that service was a little bit lacking. It wasn't bad, and the server was nice, but more proactive service would be good (checking in, filling water without being asked). Especially when the restaurant is mostly empty. The restaurant can also provide a voucher for the parking garage next door so make sure to ask for that so that you don't have to pay.

As an Indonesian, this place hits the spot with authentic flavors perfect for those missing home. The pempek is amazing, especially the sweet yet spicy cuko sauce. The ayam penyet with balado is satisfyingly spicy, and the nasi kuning set is another standout. The crispy chicken is flavorful and easy to enjoy. The rendang is tender, but the sauce could be spicier. Service was excellent, the guy who served us that day was incredibly nice, kind, and provided excellent service—definitely above and beyond!

Was looking for a new place to try and had this saved a few months ago so decided to give it a try! Price $15-$30 per person Items ordered: -Nasi Goreng -Chicken Sate -Ayam Penet Food Quality (Menu, Taste, Portion size) - 5/5 The food blew my mind. The Ayam Penet (smash spicy fried chicken) was full of flavour but warning it's pretty spicy so be prepared. The chicken sate was the star of the show, perfectly cooked and the peanut sauce was a perfect combination. The Nasi Goreng wasn't as flavourful as I would have hoped, but it did pair really well with the Ayam Penet to balance out the spice. There is a lot of other options on the menu, and the portion size was perfect. We got 3 dishes for 2 people and only had a bit left over. Atmosphere - 4/5 It had a very nice small restaurant vibe. Its good for a relaxed hang with friends or a a family dinner. They have cool artifacts on the wall and a good amount of seating based on the size Service - 4/5 The waiters were super nice and very helpful. Gave great recommendations and were always checking in on us. There isn't many staff so i can see it being a bit slow when it's more crowded. Will I go again? Absolutely! Especially with a small group of friends so we can try more of the dishes Lash's Recommendations -Chicken Sate -Ayam Penet

The service was great. There is free parking for restaurant patrons. The Ambiance was relaxing as I stopped by on a weekday for lunch. The food was delicious. Their hot sauce was on point. I love Malaysian and Indonesian food so this experience felt homey to me.

It was my first time trying Indonesian food but was very surprised at how much options and how familiar the items were. Staff were helpful with explaining the menu items and the interior is almost like a cute little cafe. There's a little neon light you can take selfies at but the position of the garbage cans in front ruins the vibe so if you're trying to post something cute on socials it's kinda impossible Lol I'm a fan of southeast Asian flavour and this was a nice introduction to something new. The spice level is adjustable if you ask the staff. I recommend getting the noodle and the curry. The coconut pandan drink was good but found it too sweet for my palate - if you have a sweet tooth I would recommend it.

A surprisingly amazing little spot in an unexpected area, this has become my new favorite place in the city! Very friendly service from beginning to end. The atmosphere was pleasant and not very loud, the seats were more comfortable than they looked and two hours passed by very quickly. We had Chicken Gulai, Mixed Skewers, Steamed Rice, and Tofu Spring Rolls.... all were extremely delicious and I don't normally like tofu... the spring rolls are well seasoned and delectable. Reasonably priced. The Restaurant is attached to an above ground parking complex which is convenient on cold, rainy days, and they validate your parking. I'm already planning my next meal here... this week for sure!

Satay sate is an unexpected find in a mostly business offices and care dealership area near Fairview mall. We have been three times since we discovered the restaurant and have enjoyed every meal that we have had here. A continual favorite is the Ayam Penyet (a smashed fried chicken with chili sauce) and recent standout was the Nasi Bakar (rice steamed in banana leaf with chicken). Their sambal has become a household staple, so definitely try it and buy a jar to go home with if you like it! The owner is super friendly and likes to come out to chat with customers at the end of the night. We've had several chats with her and she is always excited about the items she is experimenting with and adding to the future menu. Looking forward to future visits!

We ordered chicken and beef on the stick along with the coconut rice wrapped in banana leaf. They had just open so service was kinda slow. Great ambiance, very cute inside. If you have a larger bottom try to ask to be seated on the bench. I feel that the chairs at the table are way too small and uncomfortable for a larger back side person.

My cousins came over to my house thinking that a family party was taking place. However, they were off by a week, and to make them feel better I brought them to one of their favourite places to eat. Since I had a big lunch earlier I decided to eat something light for dinner and ordered the tempeh satay with a side of white rice. You get 2 decent size skewers of tempeh with peanut sauce. It was good, but next time I think I will order extra peanut sauce as I felt it was not enough for the tempeh. As it was a weekend when we went they have a special weekend menu, and so I opted to try the kue talam for dessert. I highly recommend. These came out fresh from the kitchen. Beautiful chewy texture, and delicately shaped. I loved the taste of the yam interacting with the other ingredients. They also had a beautiful perfume.

It was my first time coming here and I must say I was impressed. The food is great and very flavorful. I ordered the Krupuk and Nasi Kuning Combo (weekend special). The Nasi Kuning was amazing! I loved the little salad - YUM! The restaurant is average size. Not too many seating options. They have regular eating tables and high seats. Free WiFi available. The parking garages right next door. Remember to ask for your parking chip when leaving.

Most delicious Indonesian restaurant outside of Indonesia. Everything we ordered was good. Highlights are the satays, fried chicken, penyet chicken, grilled chicken, Balinese grill fish,, dadar gulung dessert, cendol drink. The soups are not their strengths. Portions are pretty good size. We ordered too much sharable since everyone ordered more individual dishes. Service is pretty good. We had large group. Restaurant is airy but has limited tables. The handicap restroom doesn't work as expected. It seems locked but all you need to do is hit the button to open the door.

the ribs were amazing, except the sauce it came with was either wrong, or I just don't understand. It was sweet, a bit thick, and cold. Who wants cold sauce on hot meat? thankfully, the ribs were good enough without sauce. chicken skewers were great. fried rice with shrimp was good

Satay Sate is AMAZING! I've been here multiple times and always enjoy the food. It's soooo delicious! Every time I come I have the Nasi Kuning which offers rendang beef, friend chicken, and a spicy vegetable salad served with delicious golden rice. It feels super authentic. The service is always really friendly as well, super warm and welcoming. The restaurant is situated beneath office/condo buildings, so the street front is a bit quiet - but there are some other restaurants nearby. Overall, the interior is neat and clean. When I've visited at dinner on the weekend, I've also gotten my parking validated which is amazing. I'll be back soon!

My wife and I had friends over for the long weekend. And we all wanted to have Indonesian cuisine. All of us decided to grab takeout from Satay Sate and began to browse their menu on an online food ordering platform. We got a Nasi Goreng and a chicken satay skewer rice dish. These are flavourful! We decided to come back at another time. The service was great, but they were quite busy with takeouts and some last minute walk-ins. I really like how simple the design and layout of the restaurant. Great lighting and ambiance.

Satay Sate can satiate my hunger any day. It's amazing value-for-money with the portion size and quality of the food you get at more than reasonable prices. While the Indonesian dishes might be a bit toned down to accommodate different tastes, the food is still flavourful. Stopped by for dinner and got the gado-gado (refreshing veggie dish, though a tad bland), beef rendang (good chunks of beef smothered in a rich and hearty sauce), and ayam penyet (super tender chicken, great heat on the spices). Place is well laid out and well lit. Owners have a great positive vibe and are quick with service. Stop by if you want some tasty food at great prices.

Pretty friendly owner. The place was tidy and clean. Server was attentive. In terms of food, however, it's a below average Indonesian eatery. Taste of a few dishes were mediocre and the meat they use were low quality and chewy. I hope they would rather stay away from low-cost ingredients in the future. Price is cheap. So overall, it is an okay-ish place for a quick lunch or just need to grab something fast in the neighborhood when you don't have time.

Delicious Indonesian food located in Scarborough! Their chicken satay skewers & grilled short beef ribs are a must order. They have a weekend special menu & we ordered the nasi kuning combo which was savoury yellow rice served with fried chicken beef rendang. A notable highlight is that the restaurant is halal.

we found satay sage when looking for halal options near york and we weren't disappointed! the food, flavours and ambience are really good. i would say flavour profiles are spot on but some similar tastes so try to get a few things to share. they have valet parking and some limited street parking as well. we ordered the skewers - these are a must and our favourite from the night! we did the mixed and they were cooked perfectly. the flavours and portion size = 5/5. i also ordered the nasi goreng with chicken and shrimp. it was good but we noticed a few of the shrimp weren't cleaned well. we removed them from the dish. it happens but kind of turned us off from the rest of the meal. also, the order was limited to about 3 shrimp per bowl so i'd make sure to flag they give you enough or protein portion is low. we'll be back!

I've been spoiled with real Javanese, Indonesian and Malaysian food since childhood, growing up in Cape Town. I still cook Cape Malay and Javanese food at home. The ayam bakar was ALMOST the most authentic item here except that the Indonesian flavor was not pronounced and almost bland. Krupuk were good and may have been imported (can't be sure). The lumpia were undercooked and flavorless, and the nasi goreng too was quite disappointing with dry chicken pieces and cold clumps of rice. No Indonesian flavour that I was so craving. Bare hints of ketjap manis in the background of the nasi, but otherwise no flavour in the goreng! The complimentary pickled carrots and and cucumbers were a nice touch. Won't be back. I really wanted to love this place.

I came here for lunch and tried a few dishes including the nasi goreng with tofu, chicken sate entree, tempeh sate and ayam bakar. To be fair, I haven't had much Indonesian food before so I don't have much to anchor from generally found the food we got to be interesting and tasty for the most part. The food did come out a bit slow and I found that some of the food wasn't quite hot enough. The tofu and tempeh sate were cooked well but I found the chicken sate to be a bit overcooked and dry. I like the peanut sauce it comes with. The ayam bakar had a nice fragrant coconut based marinade. The nasi goreng was a bit bland and I wish there was some more depth of flavour, and it also wasn't very hot. Service is very friendly but the food came out quite slow.

Satay Sate offers halal Indonesian food that is made from scratch and tastes 100% authentic (like the dishes that you'd actually get in the country). The location of the restaurant might seem a bit out of the way, but it's near Fairview Mall and right off of Highway 401. There is free parking for restaurant patrons at the parking garage next door. They give you the free parking coupon after your meal. The interior is brightly lit and has a very casual but relaxing ambience. I like the wooden tables, giving the place a bit of a rustic yet modern appearance. You can make reservation ahead of time by calling. Service is excellent - very courteous and friendly staff. Although their menu is not very big, all the dishes served are DELICIOUS. The seafood options (Balinese grilled fish, grilled shrimps, and ikan woku) are only available on weekends. They also have a few other weekend specials as well, such as nasi bakar (spicy rice wrapped in banana leaves). The gado-gado and Balinese grilled shrimps are my favourite dishes here. Gado-gado has a good mix of vegetables, and is very hearty and filling from the egg, tofu, boiled potatoes, and super tasty homemade peanut sauce. The tempeh sate comes as a pretty big chunk of tempeh (even for just 1 skewer), and the peanut sauce that comes with it is heavenly. The Balinese grilled shrimps are well done. The shrimps are butterflied and partially de-skinned, so it's easy to eat. They have the charred grilled mark and taste. The ikan woku, a traditional curry fish dish from Manado (capital city of the Indonesian province of North Sulawesi), is best eaten with rice (whether it be white rice, coconut rice, or the fried rice). We ordered the nasi goreng (fried rice) with tempeh, and it comes with acar (diced cucumber and carrot) and fried egg that still has a runny yolk. Totally worth coming here for! Portion sizes here are like the typical Asian family sizes - great for sharing. Satay Sate lives up to its name, with its signature dishes (the sate / skewer selection) being one of their best dishes. It's the homemade peanut sauce that makes everything so tasty. If you're looking for something sweet and refreshing, I recommend trying the cendol (traditional Indonesian drink with pandan, mung beans, and jelly in coconut milk and ice). Pisang goreng (banana fritters), typically sold as street food in Indonesia, is also a must-try.

I originally came here in 2020 right before COVID hit after hearing great things. Literally, I was there the night before the first lockdown. I was really blown away by how good the service and food were. The lady working the register at the time was very friendly and helpful. I got the chicken and beef sate entrees with coconut rice. The satay sauce was amazing and the coconut rice was very fragrant. I would have given it five stars. Two years later, I returned after a couple years of lockdown and COVID. Things seem a little different this time. Not the same staff was working and service was a little slow. There was only one other table and the food came out pretty slowly... My food was room temperature at best. Coconut rice was still really good though! A little disappointed, but definitely will be back for their satay sauce.

We wanted to try Indonesian food here in the GTA and this place didn't disappoint. Lots of seating. Parking garage which can be free if validated afterwards by the restaurant. The staff were very nice and kind. Menu is well priced! The beef rendang was super tender. Skewers were nice with the peanut sauce. Ask for the sambal - great flavour and spice!

Enjoyed lunch here on a weekday last year. Food was good, the beef rendang was yummy as well as the satay skewers. The fried rice was flavourful. We got a soup noodle with vermicelli and there wasn't much vermicelli in it. Needed a lot more noodles! Was maybe a few bites of noodles and that was it. Broth was good. Good ambiance, will come again.

This Indonesian place is authentic & tasty. Martabak (pancake) was pretty tasty. It was very eggy & had thin skin. It got crispier upon toasting. Ayam goreng (fried chicken) entree. It was very tasty fried chicken. It came with nice crispy bits. Even as takeout, after 1.5 hrs the chicken was still somewhat crispy. Coconut rice was a $1 buck upgrade, which was worth it: it was fragrant & tasty. The salad was ok: generic vinaigrette. Sate maranggi (beef skewers) had big chunks of good quality beef in a tasty marinade. Cendol (coconut milk dessert) was served with a generous amount of rich palm sugar. The coconut milk was pretty rich. A pity that it was served with ice cubes, not shaved ice. The green jelly strips were good. It was also served with balls made from the same flour; grass jelly would've been better (this cendol was a bit basic). They have martabak manis (sweet pancake) on weekends but you need to order by Friday since the dough needs to rise. There's no free parking nearby but you can get 2 hours of free parking with a coupon from them.

First time here for Indonesian cuisine. Ordered Beef Rendang and Ayam Goreng Beef Rendang (score: 5/5) This is a Padangnese coconut based beef curry and I ordered a coconut rice to go with the curry. Other than having beef in the curry, there were also potatoes inside the curry. The curry was not spicy at all, it was nice. On the side, the coconut rice was tasty. It tasted very good on its own. It's just a perfect match with the curry beef. Ayam Goreng (score: 5/5) It came in about 5 pieces of chicken. The outside was crispy and the inside was moist and tender. In the side there's a small cup with Chili sauce. It gave more excitement to the taste of the chicken. You may ask why would I give 4 stars only if the two food items I ordered received a perfect score. One star was taken off (I actually wanted to take away half a star but I was unable to do that) for the flying bugs flying around after the dishes have come. I still will visit again!!

Great dishes: Chicken Satay - THE best Ayam Goreng - fried chicken, so good Ayam Bakar Nasi Goreng Kue Talam - these cakes are amazing Coconut Rice - can't eat without this Not so great: Sup Buntut - oxtail soup, found it quite salty Nasi Bakar - the chicken was kind of shredded I'd come back only for the satay, and the Ayam Goreng with Kue Talam cakes. The rest is okay. Not great. Not bad. Solid 4 stars. They're also super sweet here, restaurant looks welcoming and fun.

Indonesian food is probably one of my all-time favourite food worldwide, especially the delicious sate ayam with nasi goreng. Funny enough, the taste always brings me back to the time I backpacked in the Netherlands in 2016. I was getting really tired of the deep-fried seafood there so I opted-in the local Indonesian cuisines and oh boy they were absolutely delicious (especially after a joint). The flavours of coconut, grilled meat and peanuts flourishing on my taste buds juxtaposed my visits to different historical buildings & talking to the Javanese diaspora on that trip, learning about the brutal history of colonialism in South East Asia and how they ended up in the Netherlands. Thank you to all the lovely Indonesian, and Javanese peeps living in the Netherlands that emancipated my taste palate from all the deep-fried stuff with mayonnaise, or else id end up eating striped waffles from Albert Heijn for the whole trip. Back to Satay Sate - I was delighted when I walked past Satay Sate & decided to give it a shot. I was greeted passionately by the lady at the front desk, and they walked me through the menu. I had the sate entree at the end with upgraded coconut rice. The peanut sauce was AMAZING on the skewer; the only downside is that the dish was quite small and pricy. I think this place is probably better for groups of friends, so you can share a large plate of nasi goreng, beef rendang and sates.

I came here for a friend's birthday celebration and the place is pretty spacious. Although our group made a reservation, you could get away with walking in even on a weekend as there are plenty of tables and chairs. The restaurant is in a bit of an industrial/business area which may affect the kind of customers they get (they probably get more business during lunch on weekdays). Our group ordered a variety of dishes including skewers and some special selections from the weekend menu. The Nasi Goreng (fried rice) is a safe choice and would definitely recommend getting the Nasi Kuning (from weekend menu). The fried chicken and rice were so delicious! The curry was also flavourful. Some of the skewers were drier than I would've liked and our food came out pretty slowly. However the staff were all very friendly and attentive which made the experience pleasant. Overall, would recommend if you're looking for some Indonesian food at a reasonable cost!

Free parking in the building. Just need to get a parking pass for the restaurant server. Great authentic Indonesian food. Five stars indeed. Ox tail soup Skewers Coconut rice Nasi goreng Ayam goreng - fried chicken Etc Bright cozy place. Friendly staff. Even talked to the owner briefly at store close. Great for medium size groups up to 10

We found parking around the corner, not knowing that they validate parking in the adjoining covered parking lot. We were immediately greeted as we sat down at a table while waiting for a friend, and everything on the menu looked good. I got the chicken sate plate with coconut rice. It hit the spot!

Have not been here since covid which has been a year! Unfortunately we cannot eat in since we are still locked down. But at least they are still open for take out! Ordered the Nasi Goreng and Soto Ayam to eat in the car. No disappointments at!

I had a very bad experience today at this location. I went in with my friend at 12:05 for lunch. We were the only customers in the restaurant at that time. A young waiter came to take our order. Shortly after, a large group came in the restaurant. As I was talking to my friend, I did not pay attention to time...at 12:30 pm we both realized that the large group of people was already eating, orders were delivered to various people coming in and out of the restaurant, while we were still waiting for our food. I went to the counter and ask the young waiter who took our order, what happened to our food? With attitude, he told me that he lost our order!? Not even one apology at this time...I asked to talk to the manger...He told me that she is not here...At this point I placed another order and it took another 10 minutes until we had the chance to eat. When he delivered the food he said "enjoy your food now"...Such a bad attitude for a waiter and especially when he was at fault...If I wouldn't have inquired on our order after 30 minutes, we would have still be there waiting...Obviously we did not leave a tip. With such a bad service, we will think twice before going back to this location. BTW...the chicken skewers were burnt...over cooked...

I recently visited Satay Sate when I was in the area and tried multiple menu items. I found that the taste was very authentic and similar to what I'm used whenever I eat Indonesian food, which was great to find. I loved the interiors and the space, and would love to go back as a dine in customer. I loved the small details and the attention to detail placed in the decor as well. The martabak, though a bit oily, was delicious and had quite a generous filling. The satay and peanut sauce were delicious. I loved the customer service provided and loved seeing that the food was made fresh.

Nice place, nice service and food are delicious, order satay beef maranggi, mie jawa, gado2, ayam goreng and nasi goreng, all are yummy in tummy.. thank you.

We chose this restaurant on the basis of its location and positive reviews. We made the right choice. Our guests enjoyed the ambiance and the food. The beef rendang and coconut rice that I ate was superb. The meat was succulent, spicing perfectly balanced and the rice was fragrant and delicious on its own.

Location/Service - Ground floor of a parking lot complex, free parking on the first floor - bright friendly restaurant. Small in size, prob fit around 15-20 people - friendly staff and can help explain menu items Food - famous for their street style food, everything has a good comforting feeling to it - prices are reasonable being in a more commercial, office environment - tried their Nasi Goreng, Indonesian fried rice topped with acar, chicken and egg. Crispy rice that's doesn't dry out. Everything blends and compliments well together. Also have a homemade hot sauce that adds a nice kick to it - also tried their chicken wrap, similar consistency with the fried rice. Easier to eat, on the go as it's wrapped as one - goda goda, veggie dish with a tofu and egg, liked the peanut sauce adding it to the mix Overall a very nice place to grab lunch or a quick eat. Menu items are simple and not complicated. Hope they continue to keep up the consistency!

Food was so good! We have been missing our time in Bali so found this little restaurant on Yelp. Not only was the food great, the service was awesome. Very friendly servers and they were attentive and helpful. Will go again to try more things on the menu.

Tried here twice already. Got the Beef Satay, Nasi Goreng and shrimp cracker the first time. Beef satay was nice and tender with delicious peanut sauce. The Nasi Goreng was pretty dry and lacking in flavour. The shrimp cracker is so good! Second time, got the beef satay again and the beef rendang. The Beef Satay is consistently delicious! But the beef rendang was pretty tough and dry. So definitely order the beef satay here for sure!

We had Satay Sate when they were on Yonge St and we loved it. Came back today for some take out and I was pretty disappointed. They ran out of the fried chicken, so I can't say anything about that dish. The satay was very disappointing. The meat (both beef as well as chicken) was dry and absolutely no flavour. Almost like they just put some meat on the skewer and called it a day. When I had it previously, it had great flavour and it was very juicy. The peanut sauce was the only redeeming feature. Nasi goreng was ok but again the meat was super dry. The beef stew had decent flavour but not really worth it for $15. Not sure if I will be back after this experience.

WOW. Why haven't I ordered from Satay Sate before? Phenomenal food - very reminiscent of SE Asia, which was my last trip pre-pandemic. We ordered: Beef Rendang Nasi Goreng Fried Chicken All came with Acar and a spicy tomato based side sauce. Acar reminds me of Acar, a South Asian pickle but more tangy. Who knows this is how SE Asian cuisines got it originally?? TIL! Everything was delicious, we upgraded our plain rice to coconut rice for $1 and it was totally worth it! My favorite dish was the fried chicken, followed by the beef rendang! Nasi goreng portion was extremely big, especially for $10! All of the meals are packed well for travel and the boxes are fully compost friendly, which is great. This restaurant is halal. Can't wait to order from here again! Highly recommend.

Delicious food located in an office area. Price point is a little steep for the portion. Customer service is great and they have high chairs for kids! Enough space for a stroller as well.

Unbelievably delicious. Curry is sophisticated with dimension. Chicken very tender and not just added to curry. Flavours were well incorporated into the chicken providing the perfect level of heat. Excellent quality ingredients, careful preparation, and passion from owner will ensure a great food experience. We will be returning with friends next time.

Overall experience: it was pretty decent I definitely feel I should give it another go. Food: food was yummy I ordered the mixed satay and the nasi Bakar . I definitely recommend trying the nasi bakar it's served inside a wrapped banana leaf with chicken and coconut flavours it was tasty on the side came with pickled cucumbers. The mixed satay was ok. Can't say my mind was blown. Service: this is purely on my experience on take out. I feel it's a mom and pop restaurant so they were a bit busy. Though they only had 2 tables occupied on the patio. I am not sure why I was just asked to stand there and wait for a good 15mins. I didn't get a warm welcoming feeling as I informed them it was my first time there and would love some suggestions on what to order.

I've been a fan of their yonge/elmwood location and knowing the location isn't there dissapointed me a little (a little). I was craving their nasi goreng on the weekend but this new location isn't as convenient as their old, since it not easily accessible by public transit unless you drive or work in the area. On the good side, this new location is more spacious than their old location, easy to find indoor parking in the same building (free parking until the building is completely finished?). This Satay Sate new location is on the ground floor surrounded by other office buildings, so it may be hard to find but it's no challenge. In terms of their menu, it seems like they added more items on the menu, but I'm usually just there for their Nasi Goreng! It tasted alright, but not as good as it used to be.

I was super happy to see this place open up near my office. Be warned this place isn't easy to reach if you're not driving in or don't work in the area. The menu brought me right back to my SE Asia travels, although the prices are infinitely higher. I came with a group of about 10 for lunch and the staff were a bit overwhelmed so it took a while for everyone to get their food. Overall I loved the taste of the chicken satay and the pickled cucumber in the salad really offered a nice textural and flavour element to the plate. I also had the mie goreng which was just mediocre for me. Definitely a filling dish but not something I'd get again. However I did have a few issues with my experience. It took a long time for everyone's food to be prepared. My friend's satay was raw and it took them at least another 20 minutes to cook it for her, so the rest of the group had already finished all their food. I think for the price, there was nothing substantial about this meal that would draw me back to this place. However, the lack of Indonesian food in my area might bring me back to this place one day.

I Love Indonesian food, so imagine my glee when I spotted this place one afternoon. I went on a Saturday afternoon, so the place was quite empty. Decor 4/5 Very chic and modern. I do wish it had more of an Far East flair. But the place is spacious and clean Service 5/5 You order from the counter and the food is brought to you. The owner was very friendly and also made us try a new beef satay receipt she is planning on including on the menu. It was juicy and delicious, a bit better than what we ordered. Food 2/5 I ordered the chicken satay entree and the Indonesian chicken fried rice. The rice in both entrees were very dry. You could tell it wasn't fresh. It did have flavour, but it felt like the food had been sitting around for awhile. The beef satay that the owner made us try was really fresh and very flavourful. All in all, good place could use some improvements.

Having just visited Indonesia, my standards were high. If I hadn't gone, satay sate would receive more stars. We got 15% off!! Good start right ! We got th fried chicken and sate of course. The chicken was crispy but lacked flavour. Good thing it came with hot sauce. The coconut rice was an upgrade and so worth it!!! The plate came with a side salad, fresh...I swear ! The chicken satay was cooked nicely and drenched with peanut sauce. It was def delish but nothing like how it was back in the main mother land. I will return to try other dishes.

Not finna try and act like I know what authentico legit Indonesian food is supposed to taste like cussss I don't LOL. This is a fast food style place located in that new building on William Sylvester; you place your order at the cashier. There's a good number of tables available for dine-in. Pro: they provide self-serve jugs of water that are available if you dine-in. We ordered: Chicken Sate Entree ($12.25) - Comes with rice, acar, and salad. The acar is nice and refreshing - good way to cut the richness of the sate peanut sauce. Chicken sate was grilled fresh however it was a bit dry. Peanut sauce that comes with the sate is really good - they're def not stingy wit da sawwwce. The sambal or hot sauce thing is super delish! It has the right amount of heat, with a bit of sweet and sourness. Nasi Goreng Indonesian Fried Rice - Comes with a fried egg, chicken chunks, acar, salad, and sambal. Honestly, no clue what nasi goreng is supposed to taste like. But this was good, not amaaaazing but just good. Like Chinese fried rice except drier and sweeter (probably from the sweet soy sauce). Chicken was a bit dry but the fried egg still had a runny yolk centre! Star of the show here: SAMBAL. It was actually so good. They should put a jar of this on the menu cus I would totally buy some to bring home. We came during the lunch hour and it wasn't very busy... no line up at all. Food takes about 10 mins to come out so it's a good choice for all you office workers in the area! Overall, pretty decent! If I'm ever in the area craving Indonesian food, I could totally see myself coming here.

It was okay, the food was cold, so I couldn't give it a fair review. It was like a chipotle where everything was premade and they packed it into a takeout container. The Malaysian flavours were not there. The fried rice lacked everything other then soy sauce. The chicken was cold. The egg was the highlight, it was cooked to the point of runny. My total bill was $10.70~

Mei Jawa is very tasty but chicken was badly burn. Curry chicken portion is a bit small for $13. Unlike other resautrnats, Satay Sate use white meat in their currey chicken and small round potato. I appreciate Satay Sate uses more expenisve ingredients . I left curry chick in fridge over night, next day I notice there is very little red oil on top. I want to thank Satay Sate for cooking a healthier curry chicken. I add some coconut cream to the curry chicken, it tase so good. I am not Indonesian so I can't say if the food is authentic. Will go back to try other dishes.
