About Sate House (磐石坊)

Sate House, known in Chinese as 磐石坊, sits on Leli Road in Taipei's Da'an District, a largely residential and office neighborhood in the south of the city. The restaurant was founded by members of Taiwan's Indonesian Chinese community, descendants of Chinese Indonesians who settled in Taiwan, and its menu reflects that background by blending Chinese Indonesian home cooking with dishes drawn more broadly from the archipelago.

The Michelin Guide lists Sate House among Taipei's Indonesian restaurants and names Padang beef, satay, and a version of honeycomb textured Javanese fried chicken as its signature dishes. Padang beef refers to the slow cooked, heavily spiced beef dishes associated with West Sumatra's Minangkabau cuisine, one of the most widely exported regional Indonesian cooking traditions; satay, skewered and grilled meat served with a peanut or soy based sauce, is prepared in the restaurant's own style rather than following a single regional template. The honeycomb fried chicken, cut to expose a textured surface before frying, is associated with home cooking across Java.

The restaurant is one of several Indonesian establishments that have developed around Taipei's Da'an and neighboring districts over the past two decades, a period that saw a steady increase in the number of Taiwanese citizens of Indonesian Chinese descent and Indonesian migrant workers settling in the capital. Unlike some of the city's more cafeteria style Indonesian eateries aimed at migrant workers, Sate House operates as a sit down restaurant with table service, and it takes reservations directly rather than through a third party booking platform.

Sate House is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. On the days it operates, Wednesday through Sunday, it serves lunch from 11:30am to 2:30pm and dinner from 5:30pm to 9pm. The restaurant can be reached at +886 2 2732 5048. No independent website or social media page was found during research beyond directory and guide listings, so prospective diners are advised to call ahead to confirm availability, particularly for larger groups or during holiday periods.
