What a gem! My family is always up to try new dishes and LaaLaaPan does not disappoint. Lily was wonderful with explaining the menu options and helping us order a taste of everything. My favorite dish was the beef Rendang and the yellow rice. They were perfect for a chilly day. The beef just melted in your mouth and was so full of flavors. I also really enjoyed the corn fritters and the Kangkung Cah Polos. I'm a sucker for garlic. The space is on the smaller side, but comfortably sat six. You definitely experience that cozy family-run feel.

Best Indonesian food in The Valley! Something to try when you're not in the mood for Thai as the flavors are unique. Been here twice and both times got the Pompano Fish. Chunks of tender fish fall off the bone (as it's a whole fish). The plum sauce that goes with it is a must. (Other hot sauces are way too spicy for us). The corn fritters (4 to an order) are amazing. The Nasi Uduk Komplit was a miss as it had very little chicken. I liked the peanuts that came with it though -- maybe I'll see if I can get them as a side dish next time. Very small place in a strip mall -- so I'm guessing they do alot of take-out business. Family owned so feels good to support these guys doing something different.

Passing by the spot a few times, finally made it in. Tried a nice variety, and was pleased. Had Sate Ayam for starter (Chicken Skewers), very tqasty. Loved the chili saucece complement.. Went on to the Soto Betami, (Beef Soup) really really good, comfort style food. My favorite might have been the Mie Gopreng (noodles w chicken). Soo savory. The Kangkung Cah Belacan (water spinach, shrimp paste, shallot, tomato) might have been the most interesting to stimulate taste buds and the palate into a new experience. LIlli was suuper helpful with recommendations and description of the dishes. They have a nice big menu, so will be back to sample more.

One of the valleys best hidden gems! Tucked inside a shopping plaza with ample parking LaaLaaPan is the epitome of a hole in a wall. Not only do they serve delicious and authentic Indonesian food they go above and beyond to make you feel warm and welcomed into the Indonesian culture. We ordered the sampler dish Nasi Tumpeng and beef soup Soto Betawi. The sampler dish is a great intro into Indonesian food. I loved the beef rendang, but everything went so well together and was delicious. The soup was also very good and a must try. Overall this is a lovely experience for a true cultural exploration and delicious meal.

Want to be transported to another place and try something distinctly different? All you need to do is go to LaaLaaPan! Indonesian food!! Wow, so distinctly different from other Asian foods. I finally stopped by and it was great. A small restaurant in a strip mall. Not too busy so I was able to talk with Lily and also met her son! She patiently went through all the dishes I had questions about and I exciteoly ordered shrimp! I cant even explain the taste other than complex and yummy! My son had a grilled chicken and he devoured it. You can get fresh coconut to drink and scoop out the meat and eat! I'm excited to go back and try more! I also love that they were spot lighted on KTLA 5's LA Unscripted!

This is the only Indonesian restaurant in the Valley, and it is fantastic!! The food is fresh and delicious with lots of flavor. There are sampler plates too so you can try a little bit of everything, which I highly recommend if you're new to Indonesian food. Dishes are perfect for sharing too. For our group of 4, we tried: 1. Nasi Goreng Sayur - veggie fried rice, gluten free. Highly recommend! Indonesian fried rice is different from Chinese or Thai fried rice. It's both sweet and spicy and has a really nice flavor. This was one of our favorite dishes. 2. Nasi Uduk Komplit (#17) - sampler plate which includes fried chicken, fried peanuts and anchovies, boiled egg w/chili sauce, fried potatoes and green beans, and fried tempeh, served with a yummy coconut milk-lemongrass steamed rice. Highly recommend this one too so you can try different items. My favorites were the fried peanuts, tempeh, and rice. The chili sauce with the boiled egg was good too. 3. Grilled Pompano (fish) - this one took awhile (~20min), but it was really good if you like fish. Definitely eat it with the fresh basil, tomatoes, and sauce. It is a small restaurant, and it quickly filled up during the lunch hour. Lily, the co-owner, is so friendly and made lots of good recommendations. She checked on us throughout the meal. They have an Indonesian Soy Sauce (Kecap Manis) on the table, which was very unique and tasty. Add it to everything. You can even buy a bottle to take home! Parking is easy in the large strip mall lot. I will definitely be back!!

Authentic Indonesian food that was on my list for a very long time! Thought I'd stop by because I was driving past the area. I love trying different foods and loved that they were very vegan and vegetarian friendly. We had the bakwan jagung corn fritters it was good but a bit salty. The fried onion chips was very good condiment that came with it was very good as well! And had nasi tumpeng, loved the tempeh and rice was delicious. Lastly, the soup sayur asem was tangy and savory which was very flavorful! Overall wish the dishes were less salty but I'd go back and try different dishes because all of them had a homemade flavors to them. The owners were super sweet and offered in house ube ice cream too!
