If each food item we tried and enjoyed had its own star, I’d need an extra page to list them all. Five stars are clearly not enough to describe the incredible food they serve. We’ve been loyal customers since the day they opened, and we always make sure to stop by when we visit Southern California (bye, Disneyland!). The staff here is incredibly friendly and welcoming. Kids get to choose small trinkets to keep them occupied while the adults indulge in their shopping spree. If you’re short on time or planning to arrive late, don’t hesitate to reach out to them and place your order online. They’ll reserve it for you, ensuring you don’t miss out on this culinary delight. But if you have plenty of time, go shopping and indulge in the treats they offer. You’ll leave this place with an empty stomach, no doubt! The outdoor seating area is always bustling, so make sure to arrive early to secure a spot.

This place is a national treasure. The vibes of dining outdoors and hanging with other Indonesian diaspora and locals is unmatched. Nasi Krawu and all the Kueh Basah are excellent.

This place is a grocery store selling authentic Indonesian food, snacks, and drinks. They have prepackaged meals that can be taken to go or enjoyed there. They have microwaves and utensils as well as some outdoor seating. The food is absolutely amazing, so delicious and authentic. Indonesian food is packed with flavor and combines lots of different ingredients. The staff are super friendly and generous. They helped us heat up the food and gave lots of great suggestions. It is super busy and crowded for good reason.

Absolutely a gem find. Only discovered this place after living in LA for 5 years. The food is amazing. Authentic and like a neighborhood favorite takeout place. I'm Malaysian, close enough to fulfill my cravings.

Medan Kitchen in Rosemead is a hidden gem for those seeking authentic Indonesian cuisine. They offer a wide selection of traditional Indonesian dishes and ingredients, bringing a taste of Indonesia to California. The food is expertly prepared by Ms. Siuchen, whose cooking evokes fond memories of fresh, spicy Indonesian flavors. During my visit, I tried the beef dendeng, balado telur, bala-bala, and singkong goreng. Each dish was bursting with authentic spices and flavors, taking me right back to the streets of Indonesia. I highly recommend Medan Kitchen to anyone craving a genuine Indonesian dining experience.

I’m so happy we found this place! The store is much bigger in person and offers way more goods than I expected. I originally came in searching for martabak and sambal matah, both of which they had, but ended up finding so much more. They even carry candlenut (and a wide variety of other nuts), which is a hard-to-find essential for our cooking at home. We were really impressed and will definitely be back when we need to restock! We also tried their ready-made food, especially the pisang goreng (fried banana), which was absolutely delicious. I brought home some ayam suir as well, and it was just as flavorful. We picked up pandan extract and a bunch of jajanan (snacks) too. This place is full of great finds for anyone looking for authentic Indonesian ingredients or ready-to-eat food made with care.
