Satay Sate Indonesian Food

Nice hidden gem for Indonesian food. Tucked away in more of a commercial business area, the prices were fair and the portions were quite large and delicious.

Their chicken satay was nice and tender. Their noodles and rice dices were also just the right amount of flavour reminding of night market food vendors in Asia.

Parking is also free in the parking lot. It was not busy on Saturday during lunch but I'm sure it gets busy during the work week.

A nice modern Indonesian restaurant tucked away in an industrial area. We went on a Sunday afternoon and there were quite a few customers, about 60% full. They have a weekend menu, but you can order from the regular menu as well. The restaurant is very clean, and the servers are very friendly. There is an indoor parking lot next to the restaurant and after your meal, the restaurant will give you a coupon which gives you 3 hours of free parking.
The quality of the food is good and the portions of food are reasonable for the price they charge. The service is excellent and you never feel rushed. Will definitely recommend this restaurant to others.

The service was amazing, we ordered mi goreng and the owner’s recommendation. the flavored rice was so good and the fried chicken was so much nicer than I expected. the noodle was a bit dry but the overall it was good.

It’s our first time to give a shot on Indonesian food. To be honest, it’s the taste that we hadn’t tried before.
However, their service and attitude are pretty kind and friendly, and the foods are quite surprised us, the tastes are amazing for sure, a bit sweet not too salty, our favourite is their fried noodle and fried chicken.
There are lots of parking spots on the upper levels, which the restaurant will give you a coupon after you purchase, usually it counts for 3 hrs.
We are truly satisfied with what we have, but only one thing we need to complain is that the oily smell is very strong as their kitchen is quite opened and nearby the tables. Hopefully, the vent system can be improved in the future.

This restaurant served delicious, authentic Indonesian cuisine. We had 3 dishes and 2 desserts - all were fantastic! My kids ate a lot, especially the 1 year old who kept pointing at the Nasi Goreng and smacked his lips for more. The desserts were exquisite and tasty. Service was friendly, attentive and fast. I highly recommend! PS - get the skewers with peanut sauce.

Flavor Food offers a delightful dining experience with its top-notch cuisine. The service is commendable, with attentive and friendly staff ensuring a pleasant meal. The ambiance of the restaurant is peaceful and cozy, providing a quiet and comfortable environment perfect for enjoying a meal in serenity. Highly recommended for those seeking quality food and a relaxing dining atmosphere.

If you're craving authentic Malaysian/Indonesian food, this is the closest it gets. Their food was bursting with flavor and the spice levels were perfect!

While the food and atmosphere were great, we felt we were let down by the service. We were told food would take 10-15 minutes but it took well over 30. And a large group that entered after us were served before us. And they also messed up our order before they rushed in and fixed it.

Mixed Sate - I found it good but my wife loved it. Their peanut sauce definitely stood out.

Mie Jawa - This was bursting with flavor and was quite spicy (which I personally loved). Pair this with some extra peanut sauce/chili sauce and you'll love it too.

Nasi Goreng - This was a classic. You'll get exactly what you expect (if you've had it before). Perfect blend of flavor.

Ayam Penyet - It was my first time trying this and I was pleasantly surprised. It had a very authentic taste and had the perfect balance of flavor. Must try at least once.

Coconut Crepe Desert - This was a weekend special and not sure what the exact name was but this was good too. Nothing extraordinary but you'll like it if you're a fan of coconuts. My wife loved it though.

Imagine a brisk winter's day, the chill in the air prompting you to seek refuge in a charming restaurant.
Stepping into Satay Sate (12 William Sylvester Dr,
Toronto, ON M2J 0E9), the promise of an authentic halal Indonesian experience warms both the heart and the palate.
Our winter escapade commenced with a flavorful beef marangii - tender cuts of dry-aged beef, seasoned with a variety of spices and herbs, creating an exquisite fusion of aromas and tastes.
The Chicken Mie Jawa elevated the experience further, featuring tender noodles immersed in a rich Javanese-style broth, perfectly balanced with sweet soy sauce, fragrant spices, and succulent shredded chicken.
Garnished with fresh herbs, crispy shallots, and a dash of lime, this stir-fried noodle dish was a sensory delight.
Accompanying these culinary gems were the ayam penyet and coconut rice. The ayam penyet showcased impeccably fried and smashed chicken, delivering a crisp exterior that revealed tender, juicy meat, complemented by a tantalizing sour and spicy kick. In contrast, the coconut rice offered a sweet, luscious profile, creating a refreshing counterpoint to the meal.
The feast concluded with cendol, a dessert epitomizing the tropical sweetness of Indonesian cuisine. The pandan jelly, delicately chewy and green, was generously bathed in coconut milk and palm syrup, served atop a bed of shaved ice - a refreshing finale to an indulgent meal.
Whether craving a regal feast or seeking comfort during the cold winter months, Satay Sate beckons. With a diverse menu encompassing satay, noodles, rice dishes, and desserts - including vegetarian and gluten-free options - this culinary haven ensures a satisfying experience for every palette.

We order the Shrimp Mie Jawa and Beef Rendang with Coconut Rice, and both of them were amazing. We ordered the mild spicy versions of both and it was too hot for us. The service was prompt and the interior is decently well done! Would recommend!!

Great experience trying Indonesian food for the first time. I thought the satay peanut sauce was excellent and I enjoyed the coconut/basil flavour in the chicken rice in banana leaf. The rice cake dessert was very nice and you could taste real ube and sweet potato. Service was very friendly.

Came here with 3 people to try out Indonesian food. It's not very easy to find them in Toronto, but I think this is top tier. Note that this place is halal as well.

Chicken and beef sate (skewers in photos), are the best items in this place. The peanut sauce goes well with the grilled chicken and a very spicy diced veggie mixture is the perfect compliment to the grilled beef.

Nasi goreng (fried noodles), are flavourful, with the main taste being sweet soy sauce with garlic. Chicken is still tender, and very well marinated. This is an Indonesian classic you must get, even though it may be too heavy of a flavour to eat with other dishes here.

Ayam penyet (chilli sauce covered fried chicken), is incredibly tender. This may be too spicy, in which case you should order it with a different chilli sauce. You can eat this with coconut rice or just on its own. It is spicy and savoury, but the chicken flavour is not covered by the sauce. Excellent option to try.

Beef rendang (beef stew), is mediocre, with the flavour being too mild and beef chunks being a little tough still. I would avoid getting this.

Overall a fantastic experience, I can't wait to come back on a weekend to try the special menu, especially the grilled fish.

I am in love! I’m so happy I found this gem! I was watching Tzuyang’s mukbang in Indonesia and was curious about the food. Satay Sate is the closest to my home. I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED! The food is soo good!!! I am going to come back!!! Also, the server who served us is a young man who plays the guitar! He is very hospitable, very friendly, not annoying type! 💗 I was so happy with my experience here!!! 💗💗💗

The lady was also very nice! 💗She chatted with us for a while and made sure to make us feel comfortable. 💗

Terima Kasih! 💗

Came across the restaurant by chance and it was surprisingly really good! Loved the chicken skewers and noodles with shrimp. Very flavorful.

I love this place. Authentic Indonesian place in town. The indoor seating is very cosy and the service is mostly good. The sate is good and the fried chicken is even better. I would also recommend trying their Curcumin ginger tea, it’s my personal favourite. Definitely a must try and you will go back again.

Enjoyed the new year eve dinner. Service was excellent and the proprietor was very helpful in recommendations for desserts. They ran out of a few items, so we will go back for more later!

Great service and Amazing food!
We ordered Martabak, Chicken Sate,Balinese grill fish, Kue talam, Pisang Goreng and Cendol. Everything was fresh and delicious.

Small quiet restaurant with authentic indo food. The skewers are amazing and curry super delicious. Will definitely come back again soon.

This place is absolutely amazing!!! The food is so delicious! David our server was super friendly, prompt, and was able to accommodate all our requests. The decor is very clean and modern. I can't believe people don't know about this place! Would give 6 stars if I could. Will definitely be coming back here again! Thank You Satay Sate!

Good ol' honest cooking! Nice flavours, chicken was juicy, and not salty. The salad had a subtley yummy sweet & sour sauce.

We ordered Ayam Penyet, chicken skewers, and Nasi Bakar.

They'll even validate your parking. I'm definitely coming back. Worth the trip because I'll shop next door at Maeli too

Food is good. Staff are very friendly. Restaurant looks nice with simple decorations and yellow lights. Enjoy my time here with my friends…
