Bakso Nuklir: A Hearty Meatball Experience in Bali

Bakso Nuklir, Pulau Misol

Haris

If you’re ever in Bali and craving some hearty meatballs, you gotta check out Bakso Nuklir on Jl. Pulau Misol No. 10 in Denpasar. I recently dropped by for lunch and had a pretty chill experience overall. The food? Solid 4.0/5.0! I ordered a few dishes like the Jumbo Sapi, Lontong, and Nuklir Sapi, and let me tell you, everything was delicious. One reviewer even said, “the meat is good, and the soup is clear and delicious,” which I totally agree with!

Now, the service was decent, sitting at 3.5/5.0. The staff were super friendly and helpful, which made the experience even better. I mean, they even gave me extra vermicelli and broth for free when I asked! How cool is that? But, I did notice that the serving time was a bit longer than your average meatball joint. One guy mentioned, “the food is good but it takes hours to come,” and I felt that. So, if you’re in a rush, maybe plan accordingly.

The atmosphere, though? It’s a bit of a mixed bag, sitting at 2.5/5.0. The place was packed and pretty hot, and they just took away leftovers without cleaning the tables, which raised some hygiene concerns. But hey, for the price (around Rp15,000 per meal), you can’t really complain too much! One reviewer said, “the price is a bargain,” and I couldn’t agree more.

Overall, if you’re looking for a casual spot to enjoy some big, tasty meatballs, Bakso Nuklir is worth a visit. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in Bali! #bebibuncit

Stepping into Bakso Nuklir on Misol Island in Bali feels like a warm embrace from the past. The moment you enter, the cozy atmosphere wraps around you, reminiscent of childhood memories spent around the dinner table with family. The aroma of authentic Indonesian flavors fills the air, instantly transporting you back to those carefree days of home-cooked meals by your mother.

The reviews echo the sentiments of many who have found solace in this charming eatery. One patron remarked, “Great food, good price, cozy place but need AC to make it better.” This sentiment resonates deeply, as the flavors of the bakso are indeed a delightful reminder of simpler times. The fair pricing makes it accessible for everyone, and it’s a perfect spot for an afternoon snack, as another guest noted, “Fair price, Bakso is good enough. Recommended for afternoon snack.”

As you savor the dishes, you can’t help but appreciate the cleanliness and the inviting ambiance. “Nice and clean place. Tasty food, price is worthy,” one review stated, highlighting that for an average of Rp.50k, two people can leave feeling completely satisfied. The portions are generous, and the service, while occasionally slow, is friendly and accommodating. “Good price, proper portion, good place, good service,” another customer shared, though they did mention the lack of parking space, which is a minor inconvenience in the grand scheme of things.

The star of the menu is undoubtedly the super sapi broth, which is flavorful enough to stand on its own without the need for additional sauces. One delighted diner exclaimed, “The super sapi broth is tasty enough without any additional sauces. Not to mention the meats. Overall good – the chocolate drink, ice tea and others. We love it!” This speaks volumes about the quality and authenticity of the food served here.

While some may feel that the menu doesn’t fully represent the delightful dishes served, the essence of Bakso remains intact. It’s a place where nostalgia meets flavor, where every bite is a reminder of home. As I reflect on my experience at Bakso Nuklir, I am filled with warmth and gratitude. This restaurant doesn’t just serve food; it serves memories, connecting us to our roots and reminding us of the love that goes into every meal. It’s a heartfelt journey back to the flavors of our childhood, and for that, it will always hold a special place in my heart.
