Book NowAbout Warung Okinawa
Skip Bali’s mayonnaise-drenched sushi bars—this low-slung spot dishes out soulful Okinawan home cooking at neighborhood warung prices. Tucked near Papaya Supermarket in Kuta, the room pairs rustic fans and handwritten Japanese specials with traditional tatami mats for kicking back over cold draught beer. Regulars drop in solo or with friends for regional plates rarely spotted elsewhere across the island—crisp goya champuru, rich Okinawa soba in pork-and-bonito broth, and crunchy sea grapes sourced from local Bali waters. Midday visitors grab quick 70k bentos packed with salt-grilled saba, while evening tables unwind over chilled highballs, zuke maguro don, and bowls of clam soup.
- Regional Okinawan Cooking: House specialties bypass standard fusion rolls for regional bitter melon goya champuru, jimami tofu, and rich pork-broth Okinawa soba.
- Tatami Seating & Izakaya Vibe: Low tatami mats and casual tables offer an unpretentious setting to unwind over cold draught beer, highballs, and Japanese comfort food.

I generally like the menu here as they serve meals that I don't usually find in Japanese restaurants in Indonesia. I didn't expect to find jimami tofu or umebudo.
