Best Indo restaurant in Sydney, get the combination of nasi uduk (coconut rice), ayam bakar (marinated chicken), and kangkung balacan or sayur asam. Eat everything with their signature sambal and it will satify your craving for Indo food. I hope the ayam goreng to be more savory though, but other than that it's a pleasant experience & food.
Actual rating 3.5/5. The chicken thigh is a must order! It was very yummy. The satay chicken, however, had a bit too much “grilled”- ness for my liking. The curry was also very enjoyable and not spicy at all.
Without fail, grilled chicken thigh (ayam bakar) and kangkung, each and everytime. Never disappoints.
The Nasi Goreng was amazing, along with their signature chilli sauce. The desserts weren’t that amazing in comparison to Vietnamese desserts. Overall, the staff were on point with getting the food to us on time despite the busy environment. Waiting lists were in place and worked well to get most customers in line with minimal waiting time. Would definitely visit again.
I know this place is an institution, but I have never been before tonight. My husband tells me he used to go here during uni days (which was a long long time ago). It’s a good thing we came just before 6pm as there was already a long queue and we just made the first seating.
We came with friends who are Indonesian and regulars, so we let them do the ordering. As usual, they always over order so our table was heaving with food. Their grilled chicken was tasty and I liked their rice vermicelli noodles with chicken. My son liked the fried rice that was ordered. There was soups and grilled tofu wrapped in leaves and mushrooms wrapped in leaves. The ran out of coconut rice so we ordered their white rice with rendang beef which was tough. Maybe as the prices were big but the sauce itself was very tasty. The Indonesian chilli is very spicy, so be careful when trying it the first time.
We tried to eat as quickly as possible as we got the table right next to the door so we could see the people looking in wanting a table.
Fastest service ever. Never fails to deliver the best quality dishes. Paha goreng kalasan with plain white rice, an absolutely amazing combination. Never disappoints.
Yesterday, #literallyondiet hunts dinner at ayam goreng 99 Kingsford and I can only tell you one thing, THE BEST INDO RESTAURANT IN SYDNEY! That’s why everyday they always have long queues and people are willing to wait 30 mins to an hour for a meal😍 we tried their kangkung, it is overcook but so tasty!!!! But their ayam bakar is the best(especially if you love spicy, dip it with their homemade sambal)
Since I love their sambal so much I bought 1 home for cooking for $5
Best Indonesian food in Sydney, yang paling menyerupai makanan di Indo. Sambel nya juga enak bangeeeet! Udah pernah nyobain semua menu nya, enak semua.
So good I tucked in before I remembered to take pictures.
We had:
Ayam bakar thigh
Deep fried Javanese style thigh
Cah kang kung (stir fry water spinach)
Nasi goreng
Koeyteuw goreng
All top notch!!!
I wonder how they get the chicken so tender?
What can I say... absolutely unreal and authentic, delicious Indonesian food. Portions are decent- I recommend the half chicken with sweet sauce. However, the chargrilled chicken was $7 for one piece (not big) which was overpriced.
The best barbecue chicken around! We love the Paha Bakar (charcoal grilled marinated chicken thigh) which is $7.50 a piece. Ayam Goreng 99 is open for take away from 12-8pm Wednesday to Sunday. Staff are friendly and the food is usually ready within 10 minutes.
Fun fact: Kensington is a suburb of choice for Indonesian students and expats living in Sydney. You can find many Indo restaurants here and this place is one of the most popular. It's most famous dish is a marinated Chicken (Ayam). I'm not local but made the trip to check it out, and I can confirm it was totally worth it! Tasted amazing and quite unique.
Super delicious Indonesian grilled chicken (ayam bakar) with the chilli sauce (sambel). We also bought the fried beef (empal), fried liver and gizzard (ati & ampla). The soto betawi is also fantastic. Take away only but we happily ate in our car.
Great place, very good takeaway portions and the dishes are quite tasty. Would recommend their half chicken fried, the sticky sauce it comes with is delicious!
Looks like family run restaurant. The atmosphere is like canteen in real Indonesia, there are plain tables and chair, and self service water and dishes.
I ordered curry soup and coconut milk rice, that was awesome. The foods were served very quickly. The tripes in the soup were well cooked, very juicy and tender. But the price is quite reasonable.
A must try if you're craving casual unpretentious and reasonably priced Indonesian food! Dinner service is always busy, people even come before it opens and the queue becomes long in no time and there's always a waiting list. I love the food they cook here, tasted just like back home. I love its fried vermicelli noodles (bihun) & Soto. They only accept cash, so come prepared.
