So, let me take you on a little culinary adventure to Bakso Bakwan Bintang, a place that’s basically the Disneyland of meatballs in Bali. Seriously, if you’re a fan of bakso, this is where your taste buds will throw a party!

First off, let’s talk about the atmosphere. It’s got that cozy, bustling vibe that screams, “Hey, we’re popular, and you’re lucky to be here!” The place is spacious enough, but good luck finding a table during lunch hour. It’s like trying to find a unicorn in a haystack. You might have to channel your inner ninja to snag a seat. And if you’re rolling in with a car, well, let’s just say you might need to go on a little scavenger hunt for parking. Motorbikes? They get the VIP treatment with a spacious parking area. Cars? Not so much. You might end up parking a mile away and doing a mini marathon back to the restaurant!

Now, onto the food! I dove into their Bakso Urat Sapi Komplit, and let me tell you, it was like a flavor explosion in my mouth. The meatballs were so rich and satisfying that I almost proposed to them. I mean, who needs a soulmate when you have bakso, right? And don’t even get me started on the Bakwan Goreng. One piece? Please, I could eat a mountain of those crispy delights! They’re like the best kind of fried happiness.

One reviewer said, “The flavors were rich, and the dish was incredibly satisfying.” I couldn’t agree more! But they also mentioned that the service is more of a “grab-and-go” situation. So, if you’re expecting a waiter to serenade you while you eat, you might want to adjust those expectations. It’s more like a fast-food vibe, but hey, when the food is this good, who cares about the service? Just bring me my bakso!

And let’s talk prices! You can feast like a king for just around Rp25,000-50,000. I mean, where else can you get a full meal that doesn’t require you to sell a kidney? One reviewer even mentioned getting two portions of chicken bakso, two complete portions, a fried bakso, and drinks for only Rp53,000. That’s like a steal! I felt like I was robbing the place, but in a totally legal way.

In conclusion, if you’re in Bali and you haven’t tried Bakso Bakwan Bintang yet, what are you even doing with your life? Just remember to bring your appetite, a sense of humor, and maybe a friend to help you fight for that last table. Happy eating!

Hey there, fellow foodies! If you’re ever in Bali and craving some seriously delicious bakso, you’ve got to check out Bakso Bakwan Bintang. This place is a total gem! I recently dropped by for lunch, and let me tell you, it was a treat for my taste buds.

First off, the food here is a solid 5.0/5.0! I ordered a few things: the Bakso Urat Sapi Komplit, Bakwan Goreng 1 Pcs, and Bakwan Goreng (fried meatballs). Everything was super tasty! I mean, some folks have said that the food is “pretty good, generally okay,” and I totally agree. Just a heads up, though, they ran out of ribs when I was there, so they replaced it with some tough meat. I asked for it without the fat, but they still gave it to me. Thanks for that!

Now, I did hear some mixed reviews from other visitors. One person mentioned, “This is one of the best bakso Malang places. The default price for one serving is 10k. You get beef bakso, chicken bakso, tofu, fried wontons, fried bakso, yellow noodles, and bihun. The fried bakso is the best, in my opinion. You can also pay with Qris if you prefer cashless. It’s always crowded, but the service is quick.”

Another review said, “The bakso is delicious, cheap, and has a lot of variety. A serving is 10k, and if you add some meat, it’s a different price. The place is clean and spacious, the service is fast, and the staff is friendly. I definitely recommend it!”

And one more thing, someone said, “Bakso Bakwan Bintang serves some of the tastiest bakso I’ve had in Bali. It’s undoubtedly the best bakso experience I’ve had on the island. The flavors were rich, and the dish was incredibly satisfying. However, it’s important to note that, like many other food stalls, managing expectations regarding the service is crucial. While the food is top-notch, the service might not align with traditional restaurant standards. It’s more of a grab-and-go setup. If you’re someone who prioritizes exceptional taste over formal service, this is the place for you. Just be prepared for a no-frills experience but an absolute treat for your taste buds.”

Overall, the atmosphere is a bit basic, sitting at around 3.5/5.0, but honestly, who cares when the food is this good? The service was decent, scoring a 4.0/5.0, and the prices are super affordable, ranging from Rp25,000-50,000 per person. You can easily enjoy a meal for just Rp10,000 if you stick to the basics.

So, if you find yourself in Bali, make sure to swing by Bakso Bakwan Bintang. I know I’ll be back for more!
