Meeting Point, Sukawati

Satria

If you’re cruising through Sukawati, you absolutely have to check out Meeting Point Thai Restaurant on Jl. Ir Nengah Duaji. Seriously, this place is a hidden gem! The food? A solid 5.0/5.0! Everything I tried was delicious, and the service was just as stellar, also scoring a perfect 5.0/5.0. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, with a rating of 4.8/5.0, making it a great spot for lunch or dinner.

Now, let’s talk about the food. The Pad Thai Udang is hands down the best I’ve had in Bali. It’s packed with flavor and just the right amount of spice. The Tom Yum Udang is another must-try; it’s super fresh and tangy, just like one reviewer said, “the tom yum is really delicious, with a fresh sourness.” And don’t even get me started on the Somtam (Papaya Salad) – it’s a refreshing crunch that pairs perfectly with the other dishes. One customer raved about the crispy pork, saying, “the crispy pork is plentiful, and the price is just right for the portion.” You really get your money’s worth here, with meals ranging from Rp50,000 to Rp75,000 per person.

People are loving the authenticity of the food too! One visitor mentioned, “The Best and only Authentic Thai Food in Sukawati,” and they weren’t kidding. The fried rice tastes just like it does in Thailand, and the spicy and salty pork is a must-order every time. Plus, the Thai shrimp omelette is another crowd favorite. The restaurant may be small, but it’s filled with warmth and genuine Thai hospitality, just like you’d find in Phuket.

Another customer shared their experience after a week-long meditation retreat nearby, saying they dined here for five nights straight and brought friends along. They couldn’t get enough of the Pad Thai, Chicken Fried Rice, and curry. The owner and staff are super friendly, making everyone feel right at home.

And let’s not forget about the cleanliness and service! One reviewer highlighted how clean the environment is and how good the service is. They enjoyed the Tom Yum and papaya salad, and appreciated the drinks being just right – milky but not overly sweet.

Overall, Meeting Point is a fantastic spot to grab some authentic Thai food without the hassle of Ubud or Denpasar traffic. I can’t wait to come back here the next time I’m in Bali! If you’re looking for a delicious meal, this is the place to be!

Citra

As I stepped into Meeting Point Sukawati, located on Jl. Ir Nengah Duaji in Gianyar, I was immediately enveloped by the warm and inviting atmosphere of this cozy café. The rustic decor, adorned with traditional Thai elements, set the perfect backdrop for a culinary adventure that promised to be both authentic and delightful.

The menu boasted a selection of Thai dishes that had my taste buds tingling with anticipation. I decided to start with the Tom Yum with shrimp, a dish that many reviewers had raved about. The moment I took my first sip, I was transported to Thailand. The broth was a perfect balance of spicy and sour, with a freshness that was simply invigorating. One visitor noted, “The Tom Yum was one of the best I’ve ever had,” and I couldn’t agree more. It was a true testament to the chef’s dedication to authenticity.

Next up was the Pad Thai with shrimp. Unlike many versions I’ve encountered, this one was not dry at all; it was rich and flavorful, embodying the essence of home-cooked Thai food. A fellow diner remarked, “The pad Thai was very original and not dry,” which perfectly encapsulated my experience. The generous portion was reasonably priced, making it a fantastic value for the quality offered.

For a refreshing side, I opted for the Somtam (Papaya Salad). While some reviews mentioned it could use a bit more flavor, I found it to be a delightful complement to the main dishes, with its crisp texture and zesty dressing. However, I must admit, I was tempted to try the spicy pork fried rice that another guest had praised as “awesome” and “exactly the same as in Thailand.” It seems like a must-try for my next visit!

The service at Meeting Point Sukawati was exceptional. The owner, Ibu, radiated sincerity and hospitality, making me feel right at home. One reviewer beautifully captured this sentiment: “Ibu is very sincere, hospitable and kind. You can tell she puts her heart into making the food.” This personal touch truly enhances the dining experience, making it not just a meal, but a warm encounter with Thai culture.

As I savored my meal, I couldn’t help but notice the café’s intimate setting. Although small, it exuded a friendly vibe that made it easy to strike up conversations with fellow diners. The ambiance was further enhanced by the sweet aroma of Thai spices wafting through the air, creating an inviting space that beckoned for a leisurely lunch or dinner.

In conclusion, Meeting Point Sukawati is a hidden gem that deserves a spot on every food lover’s itinerary when visiting Bali.
