SUPERB! So much better than any indo places in LA or OC (tastier and much cheaper). Rendang, spicy chicken, and nasi kuning are so good we always get a huge box to take back to LA.

Great Indonesian food. This place is worth the visit. Food reasonable price. I ate my lunch at the shop and serveral order to go plate for my family.

Serves beef rendang, indo fried chicken and vegan options. Vegan dishes include yellow curry with potato, kale, spicy tofu/tempeh stew and fried tofu.

Bad. Place could use a good floor mopping. Table need a wipe down. Store located in sketchy neighborhood.

A friend introduced me to this place last year. The friend is from Malaysia originally & she assures me that the food at Tempe House is authentic & some of the best in the area. I have to agree. I love eating here, the food is amazing, the people are friendly & the atmosphere is relaxed. I am going to get turmeric rice & kale for lunch today. Support your local businesses.

It's a nice hole in the wall spot. Great place for vegan options and good portions for a reasonable price. They'll also let you sample the food before you purchase

The food here is so cheap and so delicious! Plus they give you huge portions. 3 types of rice to choose from (regular, coconut or turmeric). A two item combo cost $7.30 and it was enough food for my lunch and my dinner. I got my family and coworkers to try the tempeh and they all said it was so good even though they were skeptical. I highly recommend everyone tries this place at least once!

A gem of a find in San Bernardino CA. There was an Indonesian customer who posted out the different kinds of dishes and said, "they're all delicious! " I tried most of them and indeed, they are! The staff are friendly and they will give samples so you can try the dishes. The portions are generous! Go there hungry!

A preferred place for delicious indonesian food. A preferred evening place. I will be back with my coworkers. Prices are decent for the quality. I see why this place has so many good reviews.

A fav place for indonesian food. Everyone at our table was enjoying everything. The staff was friendly and observant. Kinda of like a restaurant in Los Angeles I liked to visit.

Don’t judge the book by its covers. This eatery might look like a rundown but its the best tasting indonesian food I had in USA. Its like your own mom cooking for you. Whenever I visit in san bernardino, I religiously eat here almost every day. Your staple indonesian cuisine - tempeh, tofu, gado gado, siomay and cold refreshments like es campur. Price wise - unbeatable. Rice and 1 viand for 6 usd, 2 viands 7 usd, 3 viands 8-9 usd. The 1 viand portion is good for 2 persons even.

My first visit to Tempe House occurred today and I must say I am very pleased. The service I received was amazing! I had never had Indonesian cuisine before so I was asking lots of questions and the wonderful woman working, whom I assume is the owner, patiently answered them and gladly gave me samples of all of the vegan dishes without me asking. I ended up getting the potatoes, spicy tempe, a coconut curry soup with vegetables, and turmeric rice. I also ordered these fried tempeh strips that reminded me of chicharrones. I was in heaven. I will definitely be back and I am so grateful to have stumbled upon this hidden gem in San Bernardino.

Since I have been going there. I have received great customer service and get money worth of delicious food. Sometimes you have to go out of your comfort zone to try great food, and learning one other's culture.

Great flavors, lots of food, we were able to sample it, and the total bill was less than $50 feeding a party if 4, with 3 drinks, and ordered to go on top of that with dessert! Our family is Indonesian and we've eaten Indo food in the San Gabriel Valley but we all agreed that we liked this one more! A tip we learned when eating late is that the food (minus rendang and a few others) that are in the hot holding area is 50% after 7: 30!

The best spicy food I have ever eaten. The location is unassuming, the ambiance very basic but the food heavenly. Variety of proteins in addition to veggie/ vegan spicy food. Great takeout. Foodie's MUST. This place is definitely a hidden gem. An oasis of great Asian food! Not only do they have super tasty Indonesian food, but their enormous portion sizes match no other. It is super cheap as well! Everything they have on display is worth trying.

Housemade tempeh. Delicious vegetarian tempeh and tofu dishes. Very friendly service. Great prices, huge portions. My friends who live in the area frequent this place, and I would too if I lived here. I love it for a very authentic food experience!

A hole-in-the-wall experience (in the best way possible!)

They also have an AMAZING vegan beef dish made with jack fruit. The taste is spot on—savory, sweet, and salty.perfect umami!

The restaurant lady was super helpful and nice, and she gave us generous servings when we bought food to-go from the a la carte food line!

There were several customers speaking Indonesian with the restaurant lady, and The whole place has a homie vibe to it.

Highly recommend!
