About
Located on Alhambra’s South Garfield Ave, Borneo Eatery (also known as Borneo Kalimantan Cuisine) has been a part of the community since 2009, offering a blend of Indonesian, Malaysian, and Singaporean cuisine. The eatery earned a spot on the Michelin Guide in 2019, proving its quality and authentic flavors.
Founded by a husband-and-wife team with humble beginnings, Borneo Eatery’s menu is a reflection of their personal journey and cultural heritage. The recipes, inspired by their childhoods and enriched by their travels across Southeast Asia, showcase the diverse and flavorful influences of the region.
Borneo Eatery’s dishes are crafted with care and passion, echoing the street food culture of Southeast Asia. The team is deeply aware of the challenges faced by immigrants adapting to life in the United States, and they believe that sharing cultural heritage through food is a powerful way to bridge gaps and foster connection.
The restaurant sources the freshest ingredients and spices, often importing them directly from Southeast Asia, to ensure that each dish delivers a taste of nostalgia and a genuine connection to the flavors of their homeland.
