If you’re in Denpasar, Bali, and craving some authentic Indonesian flavors, you gotta check out Soto Ayam Wong Lamongan on Jl. Tegal Wangi No. 42. This place is known for its delicious dishes, especially their Rawon and Soto Ayam. Seriously, the Rawon is a must-try!

Now, let’s talk about the vibe. The place is pretty simple and a bit cramped, but hey, it’s all about the food, right? Just be prepared for some tight parking if you’re driving. The atmosphere might not be fancy, but the flavors definitely make up for it!

Most of the reviews I found are pretty mixed. One happy customer raved about the food being healthy, affordable, and served quickly. They even mentioned the Rawon being top-notch! Sounds promising, right?

But then there’s the other side of the coin. One reviewer had a pretty rough experience, finding hair in their Soto and even getting stale rice on a previous visit. Yikes! That’s definitely a major turn-off. It’s a bummer when a place has potential but misses the mark on cleanliness.

On the bright side, another local claimed that this is the best Soto Ayam in all of Denpasar. So, it seems like when they get it right, they really get it right!

Overall, if you’re looking for a quick and tasty meal without breaking the bank (prices range from Rp1-25,000), Soto Ayam Wong Lamongan might just hit the spot. Just keep your fingers crossed for a hair-free experience!

Stepping into Soto Ayam Wong Lamongan in Bali is like taking a nostalgic journey back to my childhood. The aroma of the broth wafts through the air, instantly transporting me to my mother’s kitchen, where love and warmth were the main ingredients. However, my experience was bittersweet, marred by some unfortunate incidents that left me feeling disheartened.

On my first visit, I was greeted with a bowl of soto that was accompanied by rice that tasted stale. I tried to brush it off, thinking perhaps it was just a late-night oversight. But on my second visit, I was met with a bowl of soto that had hair in it. It was disheartening to see such a lack of care in the preparation. I felt compelled to voice my disappointment, but it seemed my concerns fell on deaf ears. It was a moment that made me question the restaurant’s commitment to quality and customer satisfaction.

Yet, amidst these frustrations, I cannot deny the authentic taste of their signature dish. The soto ayam Lamongan is truly one of the best in Denpasar, with a rich, flavorful broth that warms the soul. Many patrons have echoed this sentiment, praising the deliciousness and perfect portion sizes. “The broth tastes great,” one customer remarked, while another noted, “It’s very satisfying.” Even with a hint of saltiness, the flavors are undeniably delightful.

The restaurant itself is simple and somewhat cramped, lacking the polish of more upscale dining establishments. The narrow streets make parking a challenge, and the overall ambiance feels a bit neglected. Yet, there’s a certain charm in its simplicity, a reminder of the humble eateries that serve as the heart of local culture.

Despite the setbacks, I find myself drawn back to Soto Ayam Wong Lamongan. It’s a place that evokes memories of family gatherings and the comfort of home-cooked meals. The warmth of the flavors, when they shine through, is enough to keep my heart tethered to this little spot in Bali. I reflect on how food can connect us to our past, and in that sense, this restaurant holds a special place in my heart. I hope they can address the issues and continue to serve the authentic flavors that remind us of home.
