Banh Mi & Beans Batu Bolong — Restaurant in Bali

This place looks very nice and clean. More over it has very nice looking food to offer. You would want to go to that place, won't you? Vietnamese food adds to the variety of foreign food availabilty to tourists to the island of Bali. I catered for Vietnamese tourists several times in some of local travel agencies in Denpasar. They're mostly well to do persons in their country and rather they stay in nice and expensive hotels on their vacation in Bali. And I took them to the local restaurant only because, firstly, they, themselves, wanted to fullfil the curiousty of the local Indonesian food, and also most often, it was part of their packed tour itinarary in some local travel agents which asking you to take them to their appointed local restaurants. From what I saw, to most of them, local food, firstly, strange foreign food they never ate before so their taste rather different from the food they daily eat at home, though not very extremely, and some, being of the Asian type of eating food. The other thing was that, to them, local Indonesian food, though they're priced of the same amount of money to the local food at home in Vietnam, they tend, they said, to be smaller in portion compare to the food they buy and eat at home. Well, that what I had with my Vietmese tourists so far, not that much, and I thing I need to know more about Vietnam people and their food, too. So, next time, I have Vietnamese tourists again to take care I can off course option to take them to eat their own food in Bali in this place if they feel like eating the food of their...

Sorry but this is a big no! I ordered pho bo ga, egg banh mi and avocado smoothie, all of them was a big let down! Pho is actually very expensive for such a below average quality, rice noodle feels raw, broth feels like an instant broth and beef feels soggy and old (just out of fridge), condiments were questionable, only coriander and some local red chili which doesnt have any spiciness at all, come on u give this for a 100k dish (?), i dont mind paying more but the quality tho :(. Avo smoothie was so so, banh mi with egg is another let down, scrbled egg was over cooked, pate seems to be on a very salty side and the bread is just soooo sad, banh mi bread is sooo soggy feels like ure eating a rubber, i miss eating the og pho and banh mi in hanoi 😭😭😭 sorry but i dont think that im coming back soon...

Went there to work and eat some food...

Got the summer rolls, which looked nothing like the pics on the website or Instagram.

Instead of beasty looking bad boys, they were puny.

They were not amazing. Bland as. Guess you have to be in Vietnam for the good boys...

Also the internet was 'down' and couldn't use the wi-fi.

Got an avocado smoothie which was too sweet to drink anymore than a few sips.

I really wanted it - but couldn't drink it - Was soo sweet!

That was my own fault for knowing it was made with condensed milk.

Anyway, I don't know if that's how they do things in Vietnam.

Service was lovely; food and drinks were not great.

So many better...
