About Willis Canteen

Ultimo’s very own slice of Jakarta. Pure, unpretentious warung energy. Sydney’s Indonesian food purists are quietly texting each other about this Jones Street setup. No heavy PR—just massive, unapologetic plates of crispy fried duck and steaming beef noodle soup. The Sate Padang is a total knockout. Think insanely tender skewers drowning in a rich, savory bumbu that commands respect. Word on the street points straight to their gado gado, a vibrant collision of textures that hits entirely different. Unfussy, deeply comforting, and fiercely authentic. Service is famously warm, delivering the kind of genuine hospitality that makes you feel instantly at home. Bring cash or prep a bank transfer, pull up a chair, and dive headfirst into the spice.
