Warung Babi Guling Ibu Oka 3 — Restaurant in Bali

Came here based on a recommendation from our van driver. I ordered the pisah (??) (complete meal), which came with pork meat, pork skin, sausage, and fried meat (and rice and soup).

The pork meat was very tender, and not pungent. I particularly liked the pork skin and fried meat, which were delightfully crispy. The skin was excellent - light and fluffy without being too greasy, and not chewy at all. Kind of like how you always want your pork rinds to be like. Even the soup was better than I expected - it was a vegetable soup with long beans, carrots, potatoes, and either chicken or pork cubes. It tasted a bit like a minestrone but without the tomato.

All in all, quite a satisfying detour. I will say that the pork was not as “porky” as I would have liked - the pork flavor was not really there. The meat was smooth but not as flavorful as I expected.

The restaurant itself is a little commercialized, with tourists (such as myself) constantly stopping in. There were a ton of bugs and flies everywhere which was slightly off-putting, even though we were in an air conditioned restaurant setting.

I haven’t tried any of the other famous places in Bali, but I would go back if I was craving Babi...

The Best Babi Guling in Ubud! 🐷

One of the reasons I love Bali is because of its amazing food, and for me, Babi Guling Oka 3 serves the best babi guling in town! When I first visited Bali in February 2024, my driver highly recommended it and I’m so glad he did! The flavors were unforgettable, making it a must-visit for me every time I return.When I returned to Bali in October, I knew I had to come back. However, due to a feast, they were closed for three days, and I had to patiently wait before I could satisfy my cravings. But when they finally reopened OMG, it was so worth it! I ended up buying a lot because I just couldn’t resist.

🔹 The Babi Guling – The crispy skin, tender and juicy meat, and perfectly blended spices make this dish absolutely irresistible!

🔹 Authenticity – This is the best and most authentic babi guling I’ve ever had in Bali, especially in Ubud.

🔹 Consistency – Even after months, the quality and taste remain top-notch, making it a must-visit every time I’m in Bali.

If you’re ever in Ubud, you CANNOT miss Babi Guling Oka 3. It’s hands-down the best place for babi guling, and a place that keeps me coming...

Bad service and very rude. I am Balinese, their service to a Balinese people is really not nice, they might thinking that we are Balinese have no money to pay this expensive and not delicious meal. Babi guling is identically with skin, but they have no skin, they just give krupuk and still charge us with normal price. You can see what we got from the attached photo. Please do not expect good meal when you come here. There are sooo many better babi guling with cheaper price and much much tasty and delicious. The waitress when taking order with their arms crossing in front of the chest, with no order-paper and even smile. And the cashier ask the waitress to serve me when I will pay, they looks like do not want to serve Balinese people. Hellooo... Even we are Balinese, we have money to buy foods, do not underestimate us. You are also Balinese, please respect people. This will be my first and last time...
