The emphasis will be on quality food with a pleasant ambiance. Meetups will be scheduled in the San Gabriel Valley, West Los Angeles, the San Fernando Valley, the South Bay, Long Beach, West Hollywood, Hollywood, Santa Monica, Downtown LA, Little Tokyo, Mid-Wilshire, and Orange County.

A real photo of yourself is requested for membership.

FAMILY STYLE. WE WILL SHARE ALL THE DISHES.

The event host will choose the dishes with the input of everyone to ensure a balanced Indonesian meal. Let's try to expand our comfort zone and shy away from ordinary dishes you can order at all too many Asian restaurants, like satay and calamari. Simpang has many wonderfully delicious authentic Indonesian dishes.

Estimated cost $40
To be on the safe side, please bring at last $60 in cash.

Extra for beverages. It is better to have too much than too little. It will probably be less.

Small bills to make settling the bill easiest. NOT all 20s please.

NO credit cards,
NO separate checks.
No takeout on your own when we order as that creates confusion. You may order your takeout order later.

If you must cancel, at least 48 hours notice is requested so foodies on the wait list can make arrangements.

I am cross posting this with LA Foodies.

Considered to be the best Indonesian on the Westside and one of the best in LA County for a delicious reason.

Diners actually choose to come to Simpang Asia from all over Southern California!

Come dine with us!
