Vietnam Imports

Vietnam Imports, 922 West Broad Street, Falls Church, VA, Rt. 7, right next to Panjshir, 703-867-9635, ask for Lilian (Metro Trip Planner - opens in new window) [WaPo | Yelp]

Yes they cook Indonesian food, home cooking, the real thing, but only Saturdays from 10 or so until not very late. And not every Saturday at that. The noodles are wonderful, beware the cold satay. Worth going if this is what you crave. The “restaurant” is simply a few tables in the back of the ethnic grocery, probably without proper license, etc. Recommended, but please don’t expect this to be a real restaurant. For some dedicated readers it will satisfy the Indonesian craving.

Indonesian

Mostly I save up my Indonesian urges for when I am in other places, most of all the Netherlands. But if you are going to order Indonesian, no matter where you are, go for the Rijstafel (Ricetable), which offers a wide variety of dishes to two or more diners.

For Indonesian the best bet probably is Café Asia, in Rosslyn.

Ivy's Place web site says they serve Indonesian and Thai food - have not been. web site, 3520 Connecticut Avenue NW, Washington, DC, 202-363-7802 (Metro Trip Planner - opens in new window) [Washingtonian | WaPo | City Paper | food-plan | Don Rockwell | openlist | Yelp | Gayot]

East Chateau

East Chateau, 146 Maple Avenue, Vienna, VA, 703-255-2588 (Metro Trip Planner - opens in new window)

Mostly Pan-Asian, with an emphasis on boring Chinese, but they have a few Indonesian dishes, plus I want to pad this section (Indonesian) a bit. A good change of pace for Vienna if you go Indonesian.

The same place that once was in Georgetown. The former incarnation was good, not great. Now it’s worse.

This area has no first rate Indonesian place, but this is pretty good. Mostly I save up my Indonesian urges for when I am in other places, most of all the Netherlands. But if you are going to order Indonesian, no matter where you are, go for the Rijstafel (Ricetable), which offers a wide variety of dishes to two or more diners.

Cafe Asia

Café Asia (web site), 1550 Wilson Boulevard, Rosslyn, Arlington, VA, 703-741-0870 (also 1720 Eye Street NW, Washington, DC, 202-659-2696) (Metro Trip Planner - opens in new window) [Washingtonian | WaPo | City Paper | Citysearch | Gayot]

Now the place to go in Rosslyn. Surprisingly good, and quite cheap. Tasty and spicy Asian food of all varieties, most valuable to me here are the Indonesian dishes, which are very good and hard to find elsewhere in this area. You might think that a Pan-Asian place won’t do most things well, but this place in fact does many dishes reasonably well. Looks like a big cafeteria but the setting is nonetheless somehow attractive, and this has become a place to be seen, at least by Northern Virginia standards.
