Banana Leaf - Temple City

I love this place. True Indonesian food that is gooood. My go to's are always: 1. Beef rendang (a la carte)2. Ayam Kremes (a la carte)3. Mie Goreng 4. Penyet komplit Everything is so good. If you've never had ayam kremes (basically fried chicken) you need to try it. It's so unique and so delicious. Same with beef rendang. And I love their Mie Goreng (fried noodles). Those would be my top 3 and then if you need another dish go with the Penyet komplit orrr one of their rice dishes like the nasi bungkus or nasi Padang depending on your preferences. Honestly you can't go wrong. I've gotten take out and dined in multiple times for lunch and dinner and they've never let me down. Service is all I need and it's a small mom and pop hole in the wall type of ambiance. Casual I'd say! Parking is super easy. If you've never had Indonesian food or if you love Indonesian food, come here!

I come here all the time with my family and always take my friends whenever I'm craving indo food or want to introduce it to them! This has been my go-to since my family introduced it to me. My favorite is their Sate Babi (pork sate) that I always get. Their Nasi uduk is also superb and differently unique with a distinct coconut taste. Their Siomay Bandung is different than what I've had or remembered, but it was still good. I just recently got the chance to try their egg rolls and apparently you can get some for free if you check in on Yelp! I've had their ayam bumbu, ayam penyet, Pete, ikan lele (catfish) that they've removed from the menu, ayam kalasan, nasi bungkus pedas, avocado juice, and sometimes I always order those dishes every time i go. Everything here is so delicious that i finally decide to take the time to write a review about how solid this place is and how much of a comfort it has been to me for many years. Great and efficient service too!

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

I always love coming here. The Jakarta style crunchy chicken and the smashed tilapia fish is always a go to. Their tamarind soup is so good!

I came to this place today because I have been have been craving for Indonesian food for a while. This review is not to throw shade at the cuisine but to this place. I ordered the Nasi Padang and wasn't disappointed except for their chicken curry in the Nasi Padang. I was disappointed because as soon as I split the chicken from the bone, it smelled really bad! The chicken was not fresh! Coming from a culture that doesn't like to waste food, I still took a stab at it and to be honest, the chicken was horrible! It tasted and looked like the chicken was rotting away and they still decided to cook it. Talk about food safety. I could've gotten sick from it. Very disappointed in what I came out here for. I chose this place because the other Indonesian places were either fusion of Thai and Chinese mashed alongside Indonesian food which was not what I was looking for. No doubt the menu is good (they're the only ones in the area that were open and had authentic dishes) but please if you are the owner of this place and you are reading this, please practice food safety before any of your customers practice their right to sue you for damages because of food poisoning. Needless to say, I would not come back here again and I would not recommend this place to anybody.
