Bandung
Since early 2000, Bandung Indonesian Restaurant has shown Madisonians to the exotic tastes of Indonesia. A country that spans over 17,000 islands, the cooking culture is rich, varied and exciting. Known as the "Paris of Java," Bandung, is particularly renowned for its architecture, scenery, culture and cuisine, and it is the flavor of all four that Bandung Restaurant brings to Madison. In a casual setting, this family-run eatery serves traditional food from various regions of Indonesia, as well as creative fusion entrees and Thai-inspired specialties. Most dishes are prepared to order, therefore the kitchen is always happy to accommodate any special requests related to allergies, spice levels, or vegan-friendly substitutions. Expect dishes fashioned around exotic executions of beef, chicken, duck, lamb, seafood.

"We've been frequent to this place, and we'd love to recommend it to our friends. Mango curry is my personal favorite -- can't say no to white curry!"

"The food is excellent -- unique flavors, somewhat on the hot and spicy side. Service is some of the best in the city. The ambiance is very informal and welcoming. One of our favorite places. It is especially convenient that the restaurant takes reservations on the web through Open Table."

"Please make a reservation for Bandung, they are busy. Really great food, tastes like it was back home. My fave- bihun goreng, sate ayam, rendang and empe empe. We have tried the ristafel too, and its really good.
The only problem is, the waitress tends to kind of forget about you one time, it took us forever to get our check. They are improving though.. :)"

"The food was delicious, and while I don't have a lot of experience with Indonesian food, it seem genuine! The service was a little slow, but all of the waitresses were very nice and helpful. I will definitely go back."

"Excellent food! This alone would bring me back. Servers were very nice but not always the fastest. Prices were very good - many inexpensive wine choices (whether you consider that good or bad is up to you). I would recommend."

"After a positive experience on our first visit to Bandung, we were excited to go back with out-of-town guests. We had experienced slow service on our first visit, but it was during peak hours so we made an early dinner reservation this time. Unfortunately, there seems to be know way around that at Bandung. In spite of our early arrival the service was very slow every step of the way and requests for additional items were forgotten. The dishes for the four of us arrived at different times and two in our party noted that their food was not very hot. We will not be returning."

"took 45 minutes to get our food, the bill was wrong, and when i tried to have it corrected, they just looked at me like I was crazy. Then when they brought it back they just droped it and ran when I was trying to give them my card to pay. I had to go up to them to give them money...a real let down from our previous experiences."

"Great food and service. Selections on menu is great, almost to much. Location is a small strip mall without much parking.
Wine list is small but a couple good ones for low prices."

"Pangsit goreng were little bites of sheer delight. Nasi goreng, although served without the traditional fried egg was absolutel authentic.
The young ladies out front were industrious, efficient, friendly and charming.
Dishes priced affordably. For a Sunday evening, I was surprised with the level of clientele and quite a vibrant to go business.
On the down side, decor is basic, the to go traffic have to walk through the restaurant for pick up and a very poor wine selection. Nevertheless, I look forward to my next visit to Madison. Bandung will be on my radar."
