“ Very tasty food. Limited vegetarian options. All items didn’t comes with cup of steamed rise, so have to order for steamed rice separately. Soft drink was served too late without any reason and have to remind few times. Additional car park available on next door. ”
“ Food is just fine especially the duck is very nice. The crispy prawn is just okay but it is needed to improve. The lectes is always good. The service should be improved as the waiting time should be quicker. The waiters are all good. The toilet was smelly. Overall was havig a good time here. ”
“ Almost perfect food, but feel a bit salty for some of the food for me and Family Good service and nice place to eat. ”
“ One of the best Chinese restaurants in Bali. It has a nostalgic, old-school vibe—both from the classic-style menu and the traditional Chinese architectural elements. I found out they have several branches too. We ordered the Sapo Seafood and Ayam Lada Hitam—both were savory and heartwarming. The Bubur Polos was simple but comforting. We also tried their Ronde, which was sweet and served hot, with a pleasant gingery kick. At first glance, the place seemed quiet and dim from the outside at night, but inside it was lively with people—from casual dinners to big family gatherings. Loved the warm atmosphere and the food ”
