Warung Wahai Spesial Kwetiau dan Nasi Goreng, Denpasar

So, I recently checked out this Chinese takeaway spot called Warung Wahai Spesial Kwetiau & Nasi Goreng located at Jl. Kebo Iwa Selatan No. 33, Padangsambian Kaja, and let me tell you, it was a pretty chill experience! The food gets a solid 4.5/5.0, and the service is just as good, also sitting at 4.5/5.0. The atmosphere? Well, it’s a bit basic, around 3.0/5.0, but hey, it’s all about the food, right?

I went there for lunch and ordered a few dishes: Kwetiau Goreng (Char Kway Teow), Nasi Goreng Hongkong (Hongkong Fried Rice), and Nasi Goreng Mawut (Javanese Fried Rice). All of them were delicious! I mean, some folks mentioned that the Kwetiau Goreng was so good, but one person joked about it being served like a soup. ?? Another review said the cooking was great, but they suggested changing the vermicelli because it was a bit rubbery. And honestly, I could see that sometimes the taste varied a bit, probably because different chefs were on shift. But overall, the Kwetiau Goreng was definitely a hit!

One of the reviews I came across said, “I love Kwetiau & Nasi Goreng and here is where you can find a good one. To me, Nasi Goreng Hong Kong was the best. I Love it and I highly recommend it.” And I totally agree! The Nasi Goreng Hong Kong was on point!

Another visitor mentioned, “Great, simple wok stir-fried Chinese Indonesian street food, serving dishes like Kwetiau, Lo Mein, and Hong Kong Fried Rice. Popular with locals for both dine-in and take away. Limited parking for scooters, and only street parking for cars. Recommended to just come by scooter.” So, if you’re driving, just a heads up that parking can be a bit tricky.

And one more review said, “Very tasty, been here many times. I love all the dishes, simple but delish! The smoky fried kwetiau really similar to the one in Malay.” Seriously, it’s one of the best street vendors for kwetiau and nasi goreng in town!

All in all, if you’re in Bali, I’d definitely swing by Warung Wahai again. It’s affordable, the staff is super friendly, and the food is just what you need for a quick and tasty meal!

The Kwetiau Goreng is highly recommended, with one guest stating, “New place that you have to try… Take the kwetiau goreng, much better than the siram.” The option to add additional meat or seafood for a small extra cost makes it a customizable delight for those looking to enhance their meal.

While the food quality and portion sizes are commendable, with a rating of 4.5 out of 5, the dining area is simple and clean, albeit in need of an exhaust fan to manage the smoke from the outdoor kitchen.

Portioning, quality, price all come hand in hand.” Despite this minor drawback, the overall experience remains enjoyable, and many patrons express a desire to return to explore more of the menu.

With a price range of Rp25,000-50,000 per person, Warung Wahai offers an affordable dining option without compromising on taste. However, be prepared for limited parking availability, especially for cars, as noted by visitors.
