Two possible places for Rijsttafel in Austin:
Java Gardens 1717 Pleasant Valley #280, 512-385-8858 Chinese, Indonesian Under $10 The lunch buffet is almost entirely Chinese, while the evening menu is mostly Indonesian with a few Chinese items remaining for the regulars. The Sunday buffet menu changes weekly.
Java Noodles 2400 E. Oltorf #14, 512-443-5282 Indonesian $10-25 Find Indonesian fare and a menu that demands exploration by the adventurous. The lunch buffet and Sunday brunch are among the best bargains in town.
I need to check these out and report back. The Sunday buffet at Java Gardens was referred to as a Rijsttafel by a reviewer a few years back,
