New 7 Seafood — Restaurant in Kuta

Came here because of the good reviews & its nearby the airport. We dined here on December 26, around 16.30 PM where it’s not a hectic time for most restaurants. There were only 2 other tables occupied during our visit.

We ordered our food right away as we were hungry. We ordered Steamed Fish, Crayfish, Raw Oysters, Scallop & Sauteed Veggies. After 30 minutes, the first dish arrived on our table was the Veggies. And there’s nothing else coming to our table. Since we’re really starving, we ate the veggies as our “appetizer”—so pathetic.

Then we noticed its been 45 minutes since we placed our order. We checked to the staff and they were… shocked? We’re also shocked to see their reaction. We figured out that our food has not been processed, they somehow SKIPPED all of seafood we ordered. They asked us to wait as they just STARTED to prepare our food.

The worst part is, we noticed the staffs were confused about the table numbers. We watched them debating about which table is which, one of them taught the other staffs HOW TO NUMBER THE TABLES. So chaotic. Maybe my orders got mixed to other tables? We never know.

Because they were too chaotic in handling our order, the food start to come to our table in a very messed order. The “main course”, Crayfish & Steamed Fish haven’t arrived yet. The staff keep coming to our table to give false hope, as they promised the main course will arrive in 2 minutes, yet we waited more than that.

I can remember we started eating around 17.30, meaning it’s 1hour after we placed the order. We’ve lost our appetite so the food wasn’t enjoyable at all. There’s no other gesture from the restaurant other than saying sorry. Such an awful way to close our Bali trip. We wont come back here for sure!

Update: 3 of us that consumed the fresh oyster got food poisoning, from mild to severe. Better don’t serve it if you can’t handle the oyster well. Its been 4 days and I haven’t...

Absolutely superb. Deliciously cooked fresh seafood. The restaurant isn’t in the most obvious location but it is definitely worth the effort finding it. You are greeted by the very friendly and helpful staff who will happily take the time to describe the menu and show you the fresh seafood in the clean and well filtered tanks. As with many of the seafood restaurants around here, given the proximity to the sea and the freshness of the food is that a lot is sold by weight (usually per 100g) at the current market price. What I particularly liked was that the owner advised us on the quantity of such dishes, showing us how many giant mantis prawns, for example, we would get. He then worked out the cost so we knew exactly what we were getting and how much it would cost so there would be no unpleasant surprise when the bill arrived. I really appreciated this transparency. We needn’t have worried as the food was extremely reasonable given the quality. It was absolutely delicious. From oysters to prawns to crayfish to shrimps they were all cooked beautifully. One stand out was a grouper fish that was just superb. I can’t recommend this restaurant enough. It was excellent. Ignore the location and enjoy the beautifully...

What a hidden little gem. Found them on Google and the reviews were a little obscure, but I can confirm the food is delicious!!! We arrived to the restaurant which was a little hidden from the main road, our waitress Cynthia greeted us warmly and enthusiastically and made us feel welcomed. We were excited to discover the fresh seafood cooked the classic Chinese style with a mix of Malaysian and Indo flair. It was only my wife and I, but we got carried away and ordered a mud crab in their Padang sauce, really amazing with flavours of lemon grass, garlic and chilli. It was herbaceous but not over-powering the delicate flavour of the crab. …. We liked it so much we ordered another one😂😂. We also ordered steamed live prawns that we dipped in a delicious house made chilli garlic oil. The mantis prawns were cooked in a salt and pepper style reminiscent of the Hong Kong eateries. The clams in a garlic and shallots was also a winner. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone who loves fresh seafood and great service. The owner Sofian even popped over during our meal to say hello and gave us a the history of the restaurant. A definite must do if...
