As I stepped into Somerset Dalung, nestled in the serene neighborhood of Grand Srikandi Mansion, I was immediately enveloped by a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The soft lighting and minimalist decor create a perfect backdrop for a culinary adventure that promises to be both delightful and affordable. This hidden gem is a must-visit for anyone looking to dive deeper into the culinary culture of Bali, especially if you’re a fan of Japanese cuisine.

On my visit, I decided to indulge in their signature dishes: the California Roll, Crispy Salmon Roll, and the Chicken Katsudon Bowl. The sushi arrived beautifully plated, each piece a work of art, and I couldn’t help but admire the vibrant colors. The California Roll was fresh and flavorful, while the Crispy Salmon Roll offered a delightful crunch that complemented the tender fish perfectly.

One of the highlights of my meal was the Chicken Katsudon Bowl. The chicken was perfectly cooked, tender, and juicy, resting on a bed of fluffy rice that soaked up the savory sauce. It was comfort food at its finest, and I found myself savoring every bite.

As I sipped on a thick and delicious Mango Juice—which was a standout drink—I couldn’t help but notice the friendly staff who made the experience even more enjoyable. They were attentive without being intrusive, creating a welcoming environment that felt like home. One visitor mentioned, “The mango juice was thick and sooo tasty!” and I couldn’t agree more. It was the perfect accompaniment to my meal.

Another guest raved about the ramen and udon, stating, “Overall, everything tastes good,” and I found that to be true. The flavors were well-balanced, and the meats added a richness that elevated the dishes. The prices were incredibly reasonable, with meals ranging from Rp25,000 to Rp50,000, making it accessible for everyone.

While the parking area is somewhat limited, the peaceful location away from the main road adds to the charm of Somerset Dalung. It’s a great spot for a casual hangout, and the outdoor dining option is particularly appealing, especially on a pleasant evening.

In conclusion, Somerset Dalung is not just a restaurant; it’s an experience that encapsulates the essence of culinary culture in Bali. With its delicious food, friendly service, and cozy atmosphere, it’s a place that deserves to be on every food lover’s list. Whether you’re a local or a traveler, make sure to stop by and treat yourself to a meal that will leave you satisfied and eager to return.
