Cafe Bintang (Javanese)

Unclaimed

Tasty Indonesian foods in downtown Osaka. The place might not really spacious but it can hold more than 25 customers at once. I tried their sop buntut and it was tasty, the meat was very tender but I think the soup was not very rich of broth. My friends tried the chicken and duck and also quiet satisfied. Affordable and reasonable price. The food took a quiet long time to come though, and we came before dinner time. The server was also handled the cashier so when in peak hour, we have to wait to get their attention or even to pay for our food. I think they might need more people managing the place. But overall recommended.

S- [must try / 一定要吃到] · discovered a hidden gem restaurant with authentic indonesian food · have to take a sketchy backdoor elevator to the fourth floor · recommend the nasi goreng ayam (chicken fried rice) as its only 950 Yen as of March 2025 · fried rice was big portion and had amazing wok hei flavor · grilled chicken was tender while the sides were pretty good · egg on top was overcooked · its cash only (posted everywhere) tldr: must come off peak hours to avoid a long wait

I was so happy that the rendang here is authentically made (or at least very close to it) compared to other rendang outside of Indonesia. The rendang seasoning/bumbu is not liquidy/cair (inauthentically made rendang has liquidy spices which changes to whole texture and taste). So if you want to taste authentic rendang in Osaka, come here! The waitress was sweet and friendly and my food was served quickly (I didn’t have to wait long). The decoration of the restaurant is authentic of that of local warung or restaurant in Indonesia. Thank you.
