Warung Hokkian Address: Jalan Raya, Ubud

Forget the ambience—there is none. Plastic chairs, wooden tables, concrete floors and only desk fans to keep you cool, forget it all, the food more than makes up for the décor.

Two huge cast iron woks are located on the edge of the busy road. Nothing is pre-prepared. It is all cooked in front of you. Service is super fast and very friendly. A small bottle of local Bintang beer (Rp 8000) is served icy cold and a good range of fruit juices, soft drinks and mineral waters are also available. This local warung serves only Chinese food and the menu has around 15 choices. It is always busy with the locals calling in for lunch or dinner, not too many tourists have yet discovered this gem. Be warned if they ask you if you want your meal spicy it means …… HOT …. Best ask for medium. Nearly every thing on the menu is Rp 10,000. Cap Cay Goreng is mixed vegetables fried in the hot wok with chicken or beef .. it is excellent as is the Mie Goreng and the Lomi which is Chinese noodles with gravy, chicken, beef and fresh vegetables. Bihun Cupeng with rice noodles is also delicious. The Koloke ayam or chicken with sweet and sour sauce and special Chinese spices is a little more expensive at Rp 15,000 but well worth the extra few rupiah. Do not miss their special fried rice at only Rp 8,000 with one serve more than enough for 2 people. The portions at Warung Hokkian are very generous in fact huge. We thoughly recommend this warung as an out standing value for money dining experience if good food is more important to you than good décor.
