Reviews Summary
Bandung Indonesian Restaurant is a beloved spot for its authentic and flavorful Indonesian cuisine, with a particular highlight on their house-made tempeh and rich curries. Diners appreciate the welcoming atmosphere and attentive service, making it a repeat destination for many. While most reviews are glowing, some note that the online ordering system, while effective during the pandemic, can be a slight adjustment for in-person diners.
"Visiting madison and this restaurant already on my wishlist 😊. Me, my partner and his friend order Satay Tempeh , Fried rice, and Bopo tempeh. I could say this is remind me of my homecountry🇮🇩! I love satay tempeh which is suitable with my dietary restriction sometimes 1/2 vegetarian & 1/2 vegan! I would love to visit again sometimes when travel to Madison😍again"

"As a former employee from 2019, I always return to Bandung when I'm in Madison! Delicious food, and wonderful owners who care for their employees. Julie and Pram always threw parties for everyone's birthday, and they gave me a wonderful going away party with tons of food, all for free, for myself, coworkers, friends and family even. Generous people and wonderful Indonesian food! Great for vegans and meat eaters alike :) Highly recommend."

"We enjoyed Bandung in Madison! I’ve never really had Indonesian food before and enjoyed it a lot. If you need a reference, it’s like Thai cuisine mixed with what feels like more similarities to Indian cuisine. We had so many dishes — tempeh mango curry rice, pad Thai, Semur (rice with beef and green beans and other veggies), Bihung goreng,(egg noodles with green onion, carrots bean sprouts, and rice vermicelli), and of course, Thai bubble tea! We had friendly and helpful staff as well as easy parking out front. It’s about $20 a dish, so it’s a bit pricier than your run of the mill chinese restaurant, but don’t let that dissuade you from grabbing a bite here. It also has tons of amazing vegetarian and vegan options!"

Tempeh saturated in flavor and fried to crispy perfection is not easy to come by, but Bandung nails it with a version made in-house. The process — which involves boiling, fermenting and incubating the soybeans — is complex and can take up to 48 hours. Try the marinated and grilled satay tempeh with a sweet peanut sauce served over a bed of rice cakes.

...self-described Indonesian restaurant is in Madison, Wisconsin, the Bandung Restaurant. I've never been, but I have read a lot of reviews of the place in Wisconsin papers, and it sounds pretty good. They seem to offer a rijsttafel about once a month, and appear to be an average $10-a-plate Indonesian restaurant otherwise.
