Food: Tasty adventure in every bite

Wayang's menu wakes your tastebuds up to an adventure, with the Nasi Bungkus and Indonesian Fried Noodle being top picks among patrons. The creativity and unique flavours create an escapade in Indonesian cuisine that’s worth trying. However, the freshness of food has had some hits and misses, while the portion sizes leave stomachs wanting for more, creating a knock in the restaurant's value proposition. But, with a menu so diverse, there's something for everyone.

  • Great Variety

    Extensive, diverse menu satisfies all with its wide range of options.

  • Bad Value

    Prices high for small portions and service only mediocre.

Vibe: Depressingly untouched charm

If you're yearning for an ambiance that mirrors the hustle and bustle of the streets of Indonesia, Wayang does deliver on that front, though possibly a bit too well. Many find the atmosphere to be rather grim, and the smell and vibe a tad bit impoverished. It's definitely an ambiance that may not resonate with everyone.

  • Bad Ambiance

    Depressing atmosphere, smell and vibe felt impoverished and dull.

Perks: Small lot, big expectations

Finding a parking spot can be a bit of a hurdle, given the cramped lot and street spots, adding to the adventure of your visit. The slow and inattentive service might not be to everyone’s taste. Despite these downfalls, it offers ample seating for large groups and maintains cleanliness. Not much is said of its kid-friendliness, hence families might want to venture cautiously.

  • Okay For Kids

    Clean restaurant and restroom, but no mention of kid-friendliness.

  • Hard To Park

    Parking can be tricky to find, with a tiny lot and street spots.
