Wallflower

“Been here multiple times, it was time I gave them a review. Love it, think their food is better than Cobi. Ambiance is always on point. The branzino is amazing, the chicken is good too. Must get the nasi goreng!”

“Went here recently and was very satisfied. Group of 3 of us and we ordered quite a few different dishes to share. Portion sizes were very shareable and really well done. Loved the ribs and the beef. Fried rice was also great and would definitely go back to try more things on the menu”

“Well, Im expecting a really good Indonesian food when i decided to try this place (I came from Indonesia so i know about it). I sat at the bar, and ordered duck lumpia, chicken rice, and chicken satay. They all tasted just "ok", duck lumpia's sauce tasted funny. The meat on the satay is 1 big piece, so its hard to eat when you try to take the meat out of the stick, they didn't cut the meat (satay suppose to be cut into 3 or 4 pieces). The peanut sauce wasn't good either. Chicken rice was ok, but very very small amount. I ordered Beer and cocktail for drinks, the cocktail was at least good (i ordered "Jamu"). Service was good, nothing special.. Athmosphere and decor are nice since this is a fancy place, but for the price, its still not worth it. I spent 100bux and 27 bux tips (1person only), and left kinda disappointed with how the food tasted + still hungry. Unless they improve their food (taste and amount), I will not come back and or recommend this place to my friends. I hope the Manager/Owner see this review.”

“When “street” becomes chic. I’ve always found it strange eating what’s essentially street food in an upscale setting—like having tacos at the Ritz. I grew up in Indonesia surrounded by this cuisine—on the streets, in stalls, restaurants, and even my family’s hotels—so I was a bit skeptical about trying Wallflower. My date insisted, and I’m glad she did. The team here nailed the balance. Ambience, service, and food all work in harmony. The vibe feels modern and elevated without losing authenticity. Highlights: the duck lumpia was excellent, and my date loved her papaya salad (a bit too spicy for my delicate palate). The beef rendang on its own was good but truly came alive when paired with the nasi ayam (chicken rice)—a perfect example of complementary flavors unlocking something special. It’s true that Wallflower isn’t cheap—prices are higher than most Indonesian spots in LA, and portions are modest—but you’re paying for a refined experience, not just a meal. And in a city where dining standards have slipped post-COVID, Wallflower stands out as a welcome return to thoughtful, high-quality restaurant experiences. If you’re looking for cheap eats, this isn’t it. If you want elevated Southeast Asian cuisine done right, this is the place.”

“Overall, it was a pretty good experience! The vibe here is amazing and the staff were super friendly and nice. The food was tasty too, especially the Japanese yam (the flavors were so complex and delicious) However, it is way too expensive for the portion sizes. The value just isn’t there; feels like you could get something similar elsewhere for half the price.”
