Introduction
Jayakarta is an amazing restaurant - the first to serve Indonesian cuisine in the East Bay. Situated at the foot of the Berkeley hills, Jayakarta serves at the pleasure of both Berkeley college students and Kensington locals alike with unanimous fanfare. Opening in August of 2006, Jayakarta opened to rave reviews from numerous newspapers including the East Bay Express to the San Francisco Chronicle. Soon, a gem was born overnight.
Although the restaurant is relatively new, the range of taste at Jayakarta is significant, thanks in part to the wondrous travels of its owner and head chef - Irianti Wibowo Jin. Mrs. Jin's multicultural experience during her years living in Jakarta gave her unmatched advantage over other practitioners of Indonesian cuisine, developing the fine tastes much of which she later brought out in her later years.
Her first successful business venture was in the cookie's market in the early 1980s in her hometown of North Jakarta. Specializing in variety of cookies such as Gemblong, Risoles, Keroket, etc; she successfully created a loyal following, conquering the market for herself, stamping her name as synonymous with good food among a population of 2 million. Later, believing she could do much better, she travelled to America and brought those wonderful recipes with her.
From 1993 onward, she cooked at Indonesia Restaurant in the San Francisco's exclusive Nob Hill district, honing her abilities with America's taste buds. Locals loved it and tourists came to her place of business in droves. After 13 years of cooking in American, she finally wanted to open her own restaurant. And Jayakarta was born.
Today, Jayakarta continues to bring you a unique selections of Indonesia specialties only found at our restaurant such as Pepes Ikan, Ayam Kalasan, Kangkung Terasi, Babat Goreng Kecap, and Nasi Bungkus. With a proven reputation, incredible flavours and unmatched quality of service, you are bound to come back again and again. We promise.
