Dapur Van Java — Restaurant in Victoria Park

I honestly was in doubt when my 2 Filipino friends asked to try DVJ after I mentioned it many times as an Indonesian well known restaurant in Perth, as I myself never tried their food and Indonesian food in Perth is sometimes a hit and miss. We started only with 3 dishes, Nasi Iga Bakar, Mie Goreng Seafood, and Nasi Paru Goreng, as I tried to keep my friends expectation low. While waiting, we saw the staffs brought out the foods of other customers, and thats where it began. Nasi Bebek Cabe Ijo, Martabak Sapi, Terong Goreng, Telur Balado, 3 Sambal (Sambal Terasi, Sambal Matah, Sambal Bawang), and Es Cendol are the victims of my friends curiosity as they drooled themselves seeing all the foods sent to the other customers. When the food came, it was a lot of foods. None of them, I repeat, none of them were not beautiful. Mie goreng seafood which I usually aint a big fan of was perfect, my paru goreng was generously portioned and with perfect texture (soft in centre and crispy on the edge), iga bakar so tender and perfectly seasoned which I never tried before made me wondering where have I wasted my life this whole time as it was simply the best food Ive ever ate, and the bebek is such a shame because we only ordered one. The terong was freshly fried, the sambals, my friends kept repeating how nice they were, made it more like main food instead of side dish. The es cendol we supposedly share was finished by them as they just like it that much. That was a busy night, but the staff still patiently take my 3-4 times separated order, all foods still came almost at the same time, and they kindly made my friends feel welcomed after meal by checkin on them and talking with them. We went home only with martabak as weve finished the rest of the foods. 5 star food, 5 star service, 100% will be back with foreign friends. Sorry for a long review, were just amazed with the...

So.. eaten he many times... however, they run a scam which ive never seen anywhere else.... ran out of beef rendang so asked for nasi Goreng with ayam bakar, and add another piece of ayam....so....two.... they then charge you for a two meal purchase... I said.. why would I pay another 26$ for a piece of chicken.... he tells me that's how they do it... I said, you choose to do that. Are they that desperate for money they cant even work out how to charge you 7$ for additional piece of chicken....absolutely disgusting... look at the size of the chicken serving in the image.....and they want to charge 26$ for another piece?

You cleverly reply and remove the option to reply further so I will just amend thjs... I made it clear to the staff member 5 times what I was asking for - very clear - the price went from 52$ to 26$ when I told him I did not want to order TWO meals but only want an extra piece or chicken. I was very clear stating I wanted nasi Goreng with ayam bakar, and two telur belado. I then asked for an extra piece of chicken ....repeatedly...there was mo misunderstanding.... he clearly stated that we do can not do that... the fact you also use two different sizes of chicken pieces is again....unheard of....youre a busy location...surely you're not that scummy and desperate to rip off customers.... come on now. Provide a...
