Dimsum Chika - Umalas — Restaurant in Pulau Bali

Hi! Im a local tourist who stumbled upon this restaurant just a few hours before deciding to visit, purely out of curiosity.

First off, the Hainan chicken was beautifully presented with elegant tableware. At first, I thought the ginger was mixed in, but it was actually served separately with the sambal. The rice and chicken were flavorful, packed with herbs, and perfectly cooked. The hot soup was tasty too, though it didn’t have leeks like typical Chinese-style soups. The portion was just right for an Indonesian appetite, and for IDR 48,000, it was definitely worth it.

The pan seared gyoza was pretty standard, nothing special, but still enjoyable, especially since I was really hungry. It costs IDR 32,000. Go for it if you wanna try.

As dessert, yeah I know that was not dessert, supposed to be breakfast but I had kopi butter and kaya toast. The coffee wasn’t as rich or thick as I expected, but I still liked it. The kaya toast, on the other hand, was delicious, crispy on the outside and just the no over of sweetness. The total spent IDR 48,000.

I didn’t get to try the variety of dim sum, maybe next time when I visit Bali again? But I was thinking, if the price is the same as in Jakarta, would the taste be the same too? Hehehe...

What truly stood out to me was the ambiance. The open space setting allows natural air to flow in, making it feel fresh and relaxing. No air conditioning, but it wasn’t needed. The atmosphere was calm, with oldies music playing softly in the background, no loud distractions. It was the perfect place to enjoy my meal and dive into my book. Lovely interior, great vibes. Definitely I cant...

Pretty average normal dim sum place right on the pretty busy road. You may consider this as a pretty okay cheap dim sum option.

Food is okay, edible but nothing special. Dim sum price is pretty average , and probably cheaper compared to some places.

Place is small, probably only fits 10-15 people for dine in. Only motor parking space available, and you can see a field of rice beside the place. Be aware to the field because after the harvest season they might burn some weed and the smoke might come in the restaurant and disturbs you eating.

Waiters are pretty friendly, only a few people , and oftentimes talking with one another.

Overall, if i want dimsum i...

One of the best places to eat dim sum is here. It's incredibly authentic, with flavors that are simply amazing. As a big dim sum fan, I've often been confused about where to find the best dim sum in Bali, but finally discovering this gem has put an end to that. What sets this place apart is its unique, classic old architecture. Despite its excellence, the prices are reasonable, and it's not just dim sum they excel at; their other Chinese dishes are equally delightful. I'm absolutely obsessed with this place and find myself returning again and again. If you're in Bali and craving dim sum or other Chinese delicacies, this spot is perfect for you! NO PORK!...
