| - Excellent! After multiple recommendations, we finally were able to visit Bandung. I made a reservation for 8pm on a Friday and I was glad I did, the place was quite busy. Our server was quite friendly, helpful with suggestions and attentive, even labeling our to-go containers at the end of the evening (always a nice touch, me thinks).
We started with a couple IPA's ($4-5) and I ordered the Red Curry Squash ($13.95), requesting it mild; our server did fairly warn me that not much having to do with curry can be made with zero spice. Fair enough, and it was a wee bit spicy, but I survived. Their strategy of leaving a carafe of water on the table helped too. The flavor was excellent and the veggies fresh and yummy. We gobbled up the Lumpia ($3.25, veggie eggrolls) which served two and were piping hot. My dining companion ordered one of the noodle specials, an Indonesian mac n' cheese, and let's just say HE didn't need a to-go box (no good food left behind!). Dinner entrees are not cheap here, but at least they are quite good.
The restaurant itself is split into two areas - the dining area and the bar area. It seems like they have quite a few events and specials during the week in the bar area that may be worth checking out, I was informed their Facebook page is the spot to go to keep up with all that.
BOTTOM LINE: Bandung Indonesian may fill the void I've felt from a lack of good Thai options in the area (true story). I have a feeling we will be back here quite a bit!
