Out of all the Indonesian restaurants I’ve tried in SoCal (and believe me when I say I’ve tried them all, Banana Leaf is easily the best. The flavors taste closest to what I get back home, and the prices are fair considering the generous portions. Totally underrated spot! I recommend the nasi ayam penyet, it is my go-to!
