I absolutely love the food at the Java. I have never had better Indonesian food in Sydney - including in Kingsford. I have been to Indonesia many times and and can vouch for the fact that the food is very authentic (just like excellent home cooking.
If you don't like spicy food, the menu is very clear and the staff will advise if a dish is hot in case you can't take it.

It is a small, family run place and the staff are lovely, remembering me and my favourite dishes even when I haven't been in a while. When I take Indonesian natives they always love the food. It is extremely reasonably priced. If something is expensive and listed as "market price" it is very likely because it is out of season.
I only wish the Kang Kung was a little cheaper. It seems strange to pay the same for a green vegetable dish as for chicken satay etc. It is usually very fast but I do believe the staff deserve a bit of patience from people when they are run off their feet and doing their best to please everyone. They always please me :) lol
