Bakso Utomo: A Culinary Gem in Denpasar, Bali

Bakso Utomo, Denpasar

Haris

So, let me take you on a little culinary adventure to Bakso Utomo, located at Jl. Pendidikan No. 77a, Denpasar, Bali. Picture this: I walk in, and the aroma of deliciousness hits me like a wave of happiness. Seriously, if happiness had a smell, it would be the scent of their meatballs!

Now, let’s talk about the menu. I decided to go all out and try their Tahu Balek, Bakso Biasa, and Mi Ayam Iga. Spoiler alert: I might have overdone it a bit. But hey, when in Bali, right? First up was the Tahu Balek. I mean, who knew fried tofu could be so crispy and addictive? It’s like the tofu decided to throw a party in my mouth, and I was the guest of honor! I didn’t even take a picture because, honestly, it disappeared faster than my willpower at an all-you-can-eat buffet.

Next, the Bakso Biasa. Oh boy, these meatballs are like little flavor bombs! One bite, and I was ready to declare my undying love for them. They’re so good that I could probably write a sonnet about them. “Roses are red, violets are blue, Bakso Utomo, I’m in love with you!” And the Mi Ayam Iga? Well, let’s just say it was a bit of a mixed bag. It didn’t quite meet my expectations, but hey, not every dish can be a superstar, right?

One of the reviews I read said, “The meatballs are so good, and the ribs are nice and not hard.” I couldn’t agree more! The ribs were so tender that I didn’t even need to use my hands. I felt like royalty, eating like a king without the mess. And let’s not forget the Tahu Walik, which is apparently the Beyoncé of the menu. It’s so popular that it often sells out by evening. So, if you want to get your hands on it, make sure to swing by during lunch. Trust me, you don’t want to miss out on this crispy delight!

Overall, Bakso Utomo is a must-visit if you’re in Bali. The food gets a solid 4.0/5.0, the service is a delightful 4.5/5.0, and the atmosphere? Let’s just say it’s as cozy as your grandma’s living room. So grab your friends, your appetite, and get ready for a delicious adventure. Just don’t forget to take a picture before you devour everything—unlike me, who was too busy enjoying the feast!

Hey there! So, I recently checked out this Bakso spot called Bakso Utomo located at Jl. Pendidikan No. 77a in Denpasar, Bali, and let me tell you, it was a pretty chill experience!

First off, the food gets a solid 4.0/5.0, and honestly, I can see why. I ordered a few things like Tahu Balek, Bakso Biasa, and Mi Ayam Iga, and everything was delicious! I mean, the meatballs were tasty, and the chicken noodles were good too, but I did hear someone mention that they ordered the chicken feet noodles but got the regular chicken noodles instead. Oops! But hey, the meatballs were crunchy and soft at the same time, which is a win in my book!

Now, the service was on point with a rating of 4.5/5.0. The staff was super friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. Plus, the atmosphere was cozy and inviting, also scoring 4.5/5.0. It’s a great spot for lunch, especially if you’re looking for a quick bite to eat.

One thing I noticed was that some folks mentioned the meatballs were a bit hard, but I thought they were just right. And the fried tofu? Oh man, it was crispy and tasty! I definitely agree with the review that said, “the ribs are nice and not hard and are very easy to eat and don’t need to use your hands.” Seriously, you should try the Bakso Besar Tulang Iga; it’s definitely addictive!

Overall, Bakso Utomo is a great place to grab a bite if you’re in Denpasar. The prices are cheap compared to other Bakso places around, which is always a plus. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in Bali!
