About Shaka Riki

Chilled towels, roasted peanuts, and bowls of miso soup land on the table before you even open the menu along Jl. Labuansait. Diners flock here after reef sessions for rich tonkotsu broth ladled over springy al dente noodles and char siu, alongside fresh salmon nigiri and spicy tuna rolls. Plant-based rolls and dedicated gluten-free tamari make navigating dietary restrictions effortless. Dinner winds down with jazz beats, warm staff camaraderie, and a handmade origami crane folded just for your table.

  • Thoughtful Table Amenities: Every table starts with chilled wet towels, roasted peanuts, insect repellent, and complimentary miso soup.
  • Dietary-Forward Japanese Menu: Extensive plant-based sushi rolls and certified gluten-free options with dedicated tamari soy sauce.
  • Handcrafted Origami Keepsakes: Staff fold and hand out custom paper cranes to guests before they head out into the Uluwatu night.

  • Exceptional Tonkotsu Ramen Execution

    Mastery of classic Japanese comfort dishes shows in springy noodles, complex marinades, and deeply flavorful simmered pork broth.

    The noodles were made al dente with the perfect chew and thickness, the broth was thick and full of flavour, and what impressed me the most was the char siu pork with the perfect marinade and subtle sweetness

    And to top it all off, Arya crafted us an origami crane at the end of the night as a keepsake.
