Satu Lagi specializes in the vibrant flavors of Indonesian cuisine through a sophisticated tapas-style approach. The menu highlights bold spices, authentic aromatics, and traditional cooking techniques reimagined for sharing among small groups. Signature offerings often feature complex sambals paired with expertly seasoned protein dishes and fragrant rice preparations. Guests encounter a fusion of cultural traditions that emphasize texture and deep, layered seasoning profiles across every small plate. The environment prioritizes a focused culinary experience where each dish represents a specific regional influence from the Indonesian archipelago. This venue balances communal dining dynamics with a commitment to culinary precision and cultural authenticity. Every component on the plate serves a functional purpose, ensuring that the interplay between heat, acidity, and savory depth remains the primary focus for all patrons seeking genuine Southeast Asian gastronomy.
Satu Lagi is widely celebrated for its authentic, flavorful Indonesian and Malaysian cuisine and its status as a dedicated gluten-free establishment, which many diners appreciate for its inclusivity and high quality. The vibrant, tapas-style sharing menu features standout dishes such as the satay, fried oyster mushrooms, beef rendang, and pandan crème brûlée, often accompanied by well-crafted, original cocktails. While the atmosphere is frequently praised as cozy, stylish, and lively, some visitors have noted that the restaurant can become quite loud and seating may feel close. Opinions on value are mixed, as some guests find the portion sizes small relative to the price points, yet many others view it as a worthwhile gastronomic experience for special occasions. Service is generally described as friendly and attentive, although there are occasional mentions of pacing issues or inconsistencies during busy periods.
Visited Satu Lagi for lunch & had a great experience. We ordered the chicken satay BBQ & beef satay BBQ, both of which were delicious, especially with the rich coconut peanut sauce on the side. The Jamur Jamur (BBQ oyster mushrooms) was aberate ant its best & something I wouldn't order again.
I ordered the Chili Lemak & the Chili Maple Ayam Goreng. A heads-up: the chili sauce served alongside them is insanely spicy, so use it sparingly if you're sensitive to heat! The coconut rice was an excellent pairing with everything we ordered.
For drinks, we had the pandan mango beverage. It looked beautiful but was fairly average, as I couldn't taste much pandan nor mango. The Indonesian coffee was decent. The real surprise was the laksa-it was excellent & one of the highlights of the meal.
The restaurant has a great vibe, is spotless, & the service was top-notch throughout our visit. As far as I know, it's probably the only Indonesian restaurant in town, & it's definitely worth checking out if you're craving Indonesian flavors.
Came here with friends & we had the broccoli, fried mushrooms, chicken skewers with sauce, pomelo & mango salad & the tofu. All was incredible but the tofu was too rich for one person to eat themself so best to share it.
2026: I came back on my own & ordered the garlic marinated tempeh satay, the 4 veg sambals with chips & the litchinade. The tempeh came with the peanut sambal so it was a good combination if you want to try the sambals with chips. The peanut sambal was definitely my favourite of the 4 so I'd recommend getting the tempeh so you could try it instead of getting the other sambals on their own if you're on a limited budget. The homemade chips were so good. They were made of a special nut & a root vegetable but I forget what they were called. The tempeh had a nice marinade & the cucumber & red chili on the side added fun freshness & flavour. The mocktail wasn't that exciting but still good. The service was great & the terrace was beautiful
Que s'est-il passé la dernière année ? La qualité a baissée au Satu Lagi. Des satays au boeuf plein de morceaux de gras immangeables, un cocktail au pandan aqueux qui n'avait plus rien du fabuleux souvenir crémeux que j'en avais, des plats qui manquent d'assaisonnement, une panna cotta trop liquide...Bref assez déçue d'une très belle adresse que j'aimais beaucoup.

This place was amazing & had a great vibe! The outdoor seating was really lively, & the food was incredible. We ordered the satay & sambal, & both were absolutely delicious! Good place :)
The food is really good. But the portions are tiny for the price that's being paid! The satays were so so so small. We had to grab subway on the way back. It's sad to see restaurants lowkey robbing there costumers with high price points for baby portions. That tiny brocoli was 14$… that's insane. But like I said the small amount of food we had was really good.
My friends & I stumbled into Satu Lagi on a rainy night & were blown away. Sat at the bar across from the open kitchen & ordered based on the chef (Kevin's) recommendation. Great service & amazing food especially the satay flight & the fried mushrooms. Highly recommend!
- Jamur Jamur: Crispy oyster mushrooms with Malaysian spices
- Kari Ayam Penang: Peranaken chicken curry
- Iga Bakar: Grilled beef ribs marinated with galangal & soy
- Gudeg Nangka: Sweet stewed young jackfruit in coconut milk
- Kangkong Belacan: Water spinach stir-fried in belancan
I love belacan (fermented shrimp paste) & the water spinach dish was full of it! Delicious. The chicken curry was also stand-out, but all the dishes were really good & interesting. A very good meal!

Adored the satay skewers as well as their complementary sauces. The chicken, calamari, beef & rice were all great. They serve lovely cocktails that are powerful & diverse in flavour. The portion sizes are a bit smaller but very typical for tapas style / sharing style restaurants. Lovely atmosphere, decor & interior design. Professional & clean service.
This week my first time having Malaysian food & I definitely loved it. The variety od food was great & everything had amazing flavors.
We ordered the samba sample platter &, unfortunately, we weren't asked whixh ones we wanted to sample, so we received 1 that we enjoyed & 3 that we sent back.
The Ayam satay was absolutely amazing in flavour & juicy in the way it was cooked. Im not usually a chicken person but this dish was amazing. The grilled calamari had a unique flavour & was enjoyable.
The beef coconut stew was delicious & very well made & the Balado Udang was out of this world. I am someone who doesnt usually have issues with spices but the Balado Udang got to me spice-wise & I absolutely adored it. I would definitely come back here just for the prawn dish.
The service was great, friendly waiters & host. The atmosphere was mostly nice, the kitchen is open so you can watch the cooking process & the decor is nice. Sadly, even if there are not many people in the restaurant, they seat you very closely with others, like personal space close & the music is very very loud so it is difficult to talk.
All in all I would definitely recommend this place.
The food was pretty flavorful; I think I could have eaten 20 lil satay brochette. The place has a nice ambiance. The bathrooms are so cute & clean. The drink are on the pricey side. My clair coco was yummy. But if u gonna make me pay 21$ for a drink. Its not OK for it to be a Sip!!! They put a block of ice in that drink.
I'd definitely want to drink the brunch though.
