Tried their laksa, batagor, bakso mix, and mushroom noodles. The mushroom noodle was the best dish out of all. The broth was just so flavoursome, I was blown away. Their laksa was pretty good too. Batagor was ok, while bakso mix was small on the portion, there was hardly noodles there. Overall great quality of foods.
I randomly came across this place while in South Melbourne and could not be happier. Unlike its ordinary look from outside, Meetbowl serves mouth-watering Indonesian laksa, beef soup with noodles, and the like. These dishes are especially great during the cold windy days and are an absolute bang for the buck. The service is also rather fast and you can pay by card as well.
Love the food here!!! Especially the Batagor!!! Their friend wonton is also really good. I would usually have Bakwan Malang when I come here by myself. With friends and family, I would order more dishes to share. The dried noodles dishes are great too! Warn you, the chillies are super hot! Eat with care!
Came here with my cousin and friend. We had siomay bandung which is legit good for sharing, The peanut sauce so thick and tasty. The portion is so big! Worth the price. My cousin and i had the bakso special, and my friend had the ayam geprek. The bakso special is good, however the soup.. pretty light and bit bland. The meat, and the deep friend siomay are so good! :) heaps of noodle too haha
Ayam geprek just ok. Sambal so spicy! :)
A quaint little place for casual Indonesian food. The ambience is very no-fuss, and it's not uncommon to see Indonesians and Asians here having a quick meal.
The food is quite authentic, but also relatively simple. Generally they serve noodles with variations of toppings and ingredients on top of it. Taste is ok but honestly nothing exceptional. Their clear soup does seem like there's a reasonable amount of MSG in it. Considering their prices which are roughly $12 a bowl, it's reasonably priced and the wontons and noodles I had there were both pretty good. Good for a casual meal if you're in the area.

Starting off with the service, very friendly and accomodating staffs. The food are so YUMMY, my favourite is Batagor and Bakso Special. Must try!
If you are looking for Indonesian traditional chicken noodle, this is the perfect place. Accompanied by fried meatballs and spicy chilli sauce, the noodle soup is highly recommended. They are now selling other Indonesian dishes. Yum!
3.5 (nearer to a 4 than a 3)
Can't comment on the customer service as we ordered through Foodora. However, the cling wrap on the Yong Tofu came loose en-route to us, so half of the soup spilt into the delivery guy's delivery box. Not sure whose fault it was but he was quite apologetic about it, and it didn't really bother us after we had a taste of the soup as it was salty as! We sure weren't going to miss that soup.
Apart from that minor hiccup, the food was surprisingly enjoyable. The siomay (steamed fish dumplings) were huge and juicy, albeit slightly starchy, and the peanut sauce was delicious. The pork satay from the Nasi Campur was very flavourful, and I was a fan of the lean BBQ pork, which some may dislike for being dryer than the fattier cut. The Yong Tofu also got our tick of approval - the tofu was soft and silky, and generously filled with minced pork and prawn.
Most importantly, it was great value for money and kept my tummy very satisfied.
A small cosy Indonesian canteen style restaurant. Went there with a friend on weekday evening. Not very busy at that time. The meatball soup noodle was good. Very light but still flavorful. Cheap, yummy, generous size, cosy. What else can you ask for?
Lovely little Indonesian place. Used to order Yamien, thin egg noodles with minced chicken and egg. The deep fried chicken ball and fried wonton is a good companion for the noodle. Little taste of home.

Mie Siantar is superb! The taste is similar with the one I ate back in Indonesia. The noodled texture is chewy and condiments are a lot. Siomay is just okay, the sauce is not my favorite. But the noodle, you must try.
Absolutely loved my dining experience here the other night. Not only were the staff super friendly and gave great recommendations, the food was super tasty and flavourful as well.
If you guys are looking authentic and delicious Indonesian food you gotta check them out !
We were lucky enough to try so all of these delicious dishes and my favourite were definitely the chicken congee (Burbur Cirebon )and dry noodles with mushroom and chicken 😍 ~ these are only available on their special Friday night menu !
Their meals are such good value as well, they range from $11-15 and the servings are massiveeee !!
Had the bakmie keriting siantar, it was pretty large and yum! I think there could be a bit more topping compared to the size of the noodles but that's only because it was a big bowl. Also the pork came out a bit cold which means its not cooked fresh which i understand for a fast food restaurant but is a lil sad. Soup was also good. Overall good value for money, and tastes pretty great! Also quite salty though so if that isn't your thing, maybe give it a miss.
I think the noodles here are the closest you can get to authentic Indonesian bakmie in Melbourne. Would recommend getting bakmie bangka and soy milk 👍
The best bakso in Australia. Bakso Malang is so authentic maybe even better from my distant memories I had in Indonesia. The portion is generous so it’s great value for money. Cant get enough of the bakso malang, my husband and I ate here repeatedly 3 weekends in a row
My place to go for Bakwan malang and Mie Siantar was fragrant, tasty and delicious 😋 its definitely the dish should to try if you not sure what to order 😆.
