If you’re cruising through Kuta, Bali, and you’re in the mood for some authentic Japanese grub, you gotta check out Warung Okinawa. Seriously, this place is a gem! With a perfect score of 5.0 for food and service, it’s no wonder why it’s a hit among locals and tourists alike.

Let’s talk about the food. The menu is packed with delicious options, but a few standouts really stole the show for me. The Negi Toro Don is a must-try; it’s rich and flavorful, just the way you want it. Then there’s the Saba Shioyaki Bento, which is grilled to perfection and comes with a side of rice that complements it beautifully. And if you’re a sushi lover, the Salmon Sushi and Sashimi Plate is fresh and oh-so-tasty. Honestly, everything I tried was delicious!

One customer raved, “Hands down the BEST karage combo in town! Authentic taste with the right portion, chef’s kiss!” That pretty much sums up the vibe here—authentic and satisfying. Another guest mentioned, “My Fav Sirloin Steak hotplate in the entire world, best value.” They also have a great selection of seafood, including a fantastic salmon head and mackerel. Plus, the fluffy tomago eggs and agedashi tofu are just delightful!

The atmosphere is cozy, with a score of 4.3, and you can choose between indoor and outdoor seating. The indoor area has that classic Japanese style, which adds to the overall experience. A few folks noted that the seating could be a bit cramped, but hey, it’s all part of the charm, right? And the staff? Super friendly and attentive, making sure you have a great dining experience.

Now, let’s talk about the prices. You’re looking at around Rp150,000-175,000 per person, which is pretty reasonable for the quality you get. Plus, there’s plenty of parking available, so no stress there!

One last thing—if you’re a fan of oysters, you might want to try the Sakhosi oysters here. One visitor mentioned, “Ordered 5 pieces as usual and got almost shocked by the huge size of today’s oysters.” Just a heads up, they might be bigger than you expect!

Overall, Warung Okinawa is definitely a place I’d return to if I find myself in Bali again. Great food, friendly service, and a cozy atmosphere make it a must-visit spot!

First off, let’s talk about their Negi Toro Don. It’s a must-try! The flavors are on point, and it’s definitely one of those dishes that’ll make you want to come back for more. And if you’re a fan of grilled fish, the Saba Shioyaki Bento is another winner. The salmon head and mackerel are cooked to perfection, and you can’t go wrong with the ox tongue and pork sausage either. Seriously, the variety here is impressive!

One of the reviews I came across said, “My Fav Sirloin Steak hotplate in the entire world, best value. Great Salmon head, mackerel and many more choices, ox tongue, pork sausage, pork satay, wintermelon bean shoots and minced pork, fluffy tomago eggs, agedashi tofu…only missing an ac room that’s all.” I mean, who wouldn’t want to dive into that feast?
