Book NowAbout Soya Japanese Restaurant
Sanur visitors duck off the street into Soya for authentic Japanese cuts and a crisp escape from island heat. It is a welcome break when you need a pause from local fare. Travelers treat the menu like an izakaya spread—ticking off plates of crisp pork belly, dumplings, and thick slices of salmon sashimi. The kitchen runs on genuine hospitality: order the premium otoro sashimi, and the team will bring out a sample slice first to confirm the quality meets your standards before slicing the rest. Meals move at an easy pace, whether you are searing gyu tongue over a personal tabletop grill or finishing with a steaming bowl of clam soup.
- Pre-taste quality sampling: Servers present sample portions of high-grade cuts like otoro sashimi or gyu tongue for approval before preparing the full dish.
- Tabletop mini BBQ: Specialty meat cuts arrive ready to sear yourself over a mini tabletop barbecue at your own pace.
- Comfortable roadside retreat: Air-conditioned dining inside and breezy patio seating set along Jalan Danau Tamblingan make for an easy dining pause.
