Bakso Lapangan Tembak Senayan – A Mixed Culinary Experience in Denpasar

Bakso Lapangan Tembak Senayan – Gatot Subroto

Fitri

Located in the bustling area of Jl. Gatot Subroto Tengah No. 309, Denpasar, Bali, Bakso Lapangan Tembak offers a casual dining experience that aims to please both locals and tourists alike. However, the culinary journey here seems to be a mixed bag, as reflected in various customer reviews.

One visitor expressed disappointment with their order, stating, “I ordered kwetiau kuah, nasi goreng mawut, nasi ayam goreng mentega, and udang goreng tepung. The kwetiau kuah had too many vegetables and not enough noodles, which was unfortunate. The nasi goreng mawut had some raw noodles that were quite unpleasant. The nasi ayam goreng mentega was decent, but it could have used more meat. The udang goreng tepung was not impressive, as there was too much flour compared to the shrimp. The sauce was also not thick enough. Only the service and atmosphere were decent. I think the kitchen staff need to up their game more. Perhaps the food is what keeps your place quiet with not many customers.”

On a more positive note, another diner remarked, “Food was yummy in the tummy (Mie ayam Pangsit). The atmosphere is good, and the tables are clean, but I found a piece of wood in my noodles.” This highlights the inconsistency in food quality, which can be a concern for potential patrons.

Another review simply stated, “Okay food, friendly staff. Okay price,” indicating that while the experience was not extraordinary, it was satisfactory enough for a casual meal.

One late-night visitor noted, “Eating in this restaurant around 9:40 PM, it’s pretty close to their closing time, but they still welcomed us very well. We ordered Nasi Ayam Asam Manis & Mie Goreng Jawa. The nasi ayam asam manis was okay. The mie goreng jawa was a bit strange because we usually find mie jawa to be brown. The noodles were a bit plain. In my humble opinion, it didn’t really suit my food preferences, but it was still good. Maybe I should revisit to try their bakso.” This review suggests that while some dishes may not meet expectations, there is potential for a better experience with other menu items.

With a food rating of 2.8/5.0, it’s clear that Bakso Lapangan Tembak has room for improvement in its culinary offerings. However, the service rating of 4.2/5.0 and an atmosphere rating of 4.0/5.0 indicate that the staff and environment are commendable. The restaurant offers a range of prices, making it accessible for both lunch (Rp25,000-50,000) and dinner (Rp50,000-75,000).

In conclusion, while Bakso Lapangan Tembak may not be the pinnacle of culinary excellence, it provides a welcoming atmosphere and friendly service. Diners may want to approach the menu with caution, perhaps focusing on the more popular dishes like their signature Nasi Goreng Lapangan Tembak or the seafood options, while keeping an open mind for future visits.

When my Nasi Goreng Lapangan Tembak arrived, the aroma was intoxicating. The fried rice was perfectly seasoned, with a delightful mix of spices that danced on my palate. The Udang Saus Padang was another highlight, featuring succulent shrimp coated in a rich, spicy sauce that left me craving more. A fellow diner mentioned, “The taste of the Bakso is delicious,” and I couldn’t agree more. The flavors here are a testament to the culinary skills of the chefs.

The prices are reasonable, ranging from Rp25,000-50,000 for lunch and Rp50,000-75,000 for dinner, making it a great spot for a casual meal.

In conclusion, Bakso Lapangan Tembak is a must-visit for anyone looking to dive deeper into Bali’s culinary culture.
