Shanghai Ulu Bali — Restaurant in Kuta Selatan

Update from the next day: our entire group had traveler’s diarrhea from this restaurant. First time in 3 weeks of travel. Thanks Shanghai!

The food was alright, but by far the worst service I encountered in Indonesia. Our food took an hour and a half to slowly trickle out in a random order (white rice before the appetizers, for example) We had to remind the waiter 3 times about missing dishes, and each time a different dish was forgotten We informed the waiter that one of the diners had a severe sesame allergy - his dish came out covered in sesame seeds. When we asked them to make it again, it was clear they had just attempted to scoop them out (there were still seeds in the dish) And the kicker: we ordered 6 fried calamari. 2 of them were onion rings.

My advice would be to go somewhere...

A really nice Chinese restaurant situated in Blue Point, Bali. The venue is cozy and well furnished. The food is great, we tried two starters and two main courses as well as two desserts, which the owners treated us with for free, probably because we were the only ones in the restaurant at the time and they wanted it to seem busy. Nevertheless, it was tasty.

Customer parking is available and pricing is reasonable considering the quality. Starters are priced at approximately 40k IDR, chicken main courses at 55k, beef, pork and seafood at 65k. Rice can be added for 10k. Prices includes tax.

The owner is a service minded guy with restaurant experience who moved to here from LA, and he seem to know what he is doing! I can definitely recommend that you pay a visit when...

Poor service. We were triggered by an ad for happy hour: "1+1" with a drawing of a cocktail attached. When we entered, we still asked the female waiter if there was still happy hour on cocktails. That was the case. We then ordered two cocktails. We got the full bill without happy hour (almost €10 a cocktail). When we asked the same waiter for an explanation, she pointed to a tiny card of the three cocktails that were within the happy hour deal. Instead of alerting us to the deal when we - nota bene - asked for happy hour, they mislead you and you get the bill later. Bad also that no solution is offered. Staff are standing there with ten people nitpicking, but are really too incapable of transparently informing guests who come specifically...
