Missing Thailand? Here Are Our Regular Thai Restaurants in Bali

Thai Restaurants in Bali

Since leaving my corporate job and being able to work from pretty much anywhere, I’ve been splitting my time between Thailand and Bali (for no particular reason, just because). Which has created a new problem; when I’m in Thailand, I miss my comfort Indo warung food. And when I’m back in Bali, I start craving Thai food. Classic, lol.

Luckily, Bali’s food scene is pretty diverse – you can find almost every kind of cuisine on the island, Thai included. So we’ve put together a little list of our favourite Thai spots, mixing my personal go-tos with recommendations from the Kata Bella team. There’s no ranking or price category here, so expect everything from humble home warungs to slightly fancier Thai restaurants. Just pick whatever you’re in the mood for, and hopefully you’ll find a few new favourites along the way.

Bho Bho Thai – Legian

I’ve been coming here since they were still a tiny little spot in a garage, before eventually moving into a bigger space. They’ve been around for ages, and I’ve been eating here since my first year of living in Bali back in 2013, so it’s pretty special to see them still going strong and serving up the same delicious food all these years later. The aunty and her husband still run the place themselves, and they’ve always been super lovely. My go-to orders are the tom yum and chicken pad see ew – simple, but heartwarming.

Thai Kitchen – Canggu

This spot is quite literally in the owner’s house, so it feels a bit like going over to someone’s place and having them cook you lunch or dinner, hehe. It’s run by a husband-and-wife duo (and I think the wife is Thai) with all the usual Thai favourites on the menu. Prices are pretty reasonable considering it’s in Republic of Canggu, and the portions are generous too. Just a heads-up: there’s no parking space for cars, so you’re better off coming by scooter or Gojek.

Warung Siam – Ubud

Ever driven all the way to Ubud craving nasi campur, only to get there and have your brain decide it wants Thai food instead? That happens, lol. Make your way to Jalan Goutama for some pad kra pao, kor moo yang, khao soi and other comforting Thai favourites. The place has a warm, inviting feel, and their Thai tea is made with Cha Tra Mue – always a good sign.

Flavours of Ban – Canggu

This one is a modern Thai kitchen where you’ll find some flavour combinations you probably wouldn’t expect, but somehow they just…work. I’d go Indo makan tengah style here (ordering a few dishes to share) – because you’ll want to try more than one thing. My usual picks are the gai tod hat yai (fried chicken), moo tod nam pla (fried pork) and chicken tamarind salad. The lovely owner and his wife are almost always around to greet you, and if you’re not sure what to order, they’re always happy to explain and recommend a few dishes. Give this one a try!

Anaga – Canggu

This place feels fancy enough for a special occasion, but it’s also fine to just pop by on a regular day – which is what my friends and I often do. I don’t even have a particular menu favourite because everything I’ve tried here has been good. Call me boring, but among all the good things on the menu, I always order the tom yum goong, which comes in a generous portion, so I usually share it and get something else to have with rice, like the grilled chicken or pandan leaf chicken.

Kat’s Kitchen – Ungasan

Nothing to do with Kat’s Kitchen in Chiang Mai, hehe, but it’s nice to have a “Kat’s Kitchen” of our own here in Bali. None of us at Kata Bella actually live in Ungasan or Pecatu, but whenever we’re in the neighbourhood, this is one of our go-to spots for dinner. It’s simple, no-fuss, homemade-style Thai food. All the usual Thai favourites are here too, from red and green curry to phanaeng curry and plenty more.

Khao – Canggu

Thai food, but with a little bit of a fancy upgrade. The setting is still relaxed, with a lovely garden out the back. It’s casual enough for a laid-back meal, but also feels like the kind of place where you can dress up a little, bring your friends and make a night of it, or celebrate special occasions. The menu has all the Thai favourites you’d expect like tom yum, curries, fish cakes and more. Familiar Thai flavours, with a slightly more elevated touch.

And there you have it – a little guide to getting your Thai food fix in Bali. From humble home-style spots to more polished restaurants, there’s plenty to choose from depending on what you’re craving (and how hungry you are!). We’ll keep adding to this list as we discover more – because there’s no such thing as too many Thai food options. Kop khun kha for reading.

Restaurants in Legian and Seminyak: Kata Bella's Picks 2026

Restaurants in Legian and Seminyak. I know some of you might think these neighbourhoods aren’t as cool as they used to be. But for many families travelling with kids, they remain a top choice because of their proximity to the airport and the convenience they offer. You’ll find everything you need here - from great 5-star hotels and beaches to shops, supermarkets, medical centres, and, most importantly, plenty of places to eat. Legian and Seminyak are packed with fantastic restaurants, from breakfast spots to dinner favourites. I used to live around here, and on a recent visit, I spent some time exploring both old favourites and new openings to find the places that I’d happily recommend to my readers. So, here are some of the places that made the list. You may also like this article: Breakfast Spots in Canggu Worth Waking Up Early For Farmer's Daughter It's not ranked by favourites, but this new spot in Legian deserves to be at the top of the list. Not only is the place cute and cosy, but it also serves excellent pastries and coffee. If you're after a proper brunch or lunch, the menu has some interesting options like cauliflower steak and fried chicken waffles. For something quick to grab on your way to the beach - which is only a two-minute walk away, you can get one of their baguette sandwiches. And whatever you do, please save room for dessert! The pistachio kunafa mousse is a must-try, or come back just for the cakes because they're absolutely worth it. Mister Wasabi A newbie in Legian, Mister Wasabi is already making waves with its creative Japanese menu with a luxe twist, featuring dishes like Japanese fried rice with Wagyu Simo striploin, foie gras and caviar, plus a must-try chirashizushi. Upstairs, you’ll find a modern Japanese restaurant with an open kitchen for a more elevated dining experience, while downstairs is a lively izakaya for sharing plates, fun cocktails, and a more relaxed night out. Makan Place This place is best known for its pork knuckle, which they say is enough for two. But I won't judge if you decide to take that as a personal challenge. Makan Place is my go-to pit stop whenever I'm running errands around Legian because the menu covers pretty much every craving. You can have some "sneaky holiday food" like a Korean fried chicken burger or chicken parmy, or opt for something a little lighter like my favourite Asian chicken salad or the pan-seared salmon. And if you've never tried Indonesian or Balinese food before, this is also a great place for your first taste. I'd recommend starting with the beef rendang or the fried duck - both are solid introductions to local flavours. Image credit: Makan Place Instagram You may also like this article: Aesthetic Cafes in Ubud - 6 Beautiful Spots Worth Adding to Your Itinerary Miya Social Another new spot in Legian, this one is perfect for families. The restaurant is spacious, with plenty of parking for both cars and scooters (important for Legian!), plus a dedicated playground area to keep the little ones entertained. Their signature dish is Miya's charcoal chicken, served with your choice of sauce ranging from mild and medium to spicy or sambal matah, and you can have it with sides like sweet corn and coleslaw. Another standout is the peri-peri chicken pizza, which is well worth ordering for the table. And then of course, dessert! Try their sticky toffee pudding with miso toffee sauce, almond streusel, and vanilla gelato. Three words: yum, yumm, and yummm! Wild Habit Pizza From the name, you can probably guess that wood-fired pizza is the star of the show here. Located on a corner lot in the heart of Seminyak, it's one of those places that's easier to reach on foot if you're already exploring the area, rather than dealing with traffic and parking. I've eaten here more than once, and these are some of my personal favourites: start with the charred octopus skewers and truffle & brie croquettes, then move on to the spicy salami & mozzarella pizza and spicy chorizo vodka pasta. If you're a truffle lover, the truffle pappardelle is also a winner. And please don't skip dessert! My favourite is the Italian flourless chocolate cake. TENKAI Japanese, but not quite Japanese. TENKAI is a Japanese Nikkei restaurant that brings together Japanese and Peruvian cuisines. With an interesting mix of Japanese techniques and Peruvian influences, every dish delivers a surprising burst of flavours that you’ll have to try for yourself - nothing like your ordinary Japanese food. Located inside the legendary Padma Resort Legian, TENKAI is also known for its Izakaya Nights and Teppanyaki experience, making it a fun spot for food lovers and those looking to celebrate special moments. They have recently launched new creations, including the Rocoto Tiradito Lobster, Buta Yakigyoza, Anticuchero Maki Nikkei, Parihuela Udon, and Premium Nigiri Nikkei. La Naya From hearty Japanese comfort food to quick bites and sweet treats, La Naya has all your cravings covered. Alongside classic Japanese favourites, you'll find koppe pan, fresh onigiri, buttery pastries, and refreshing kakigori that are perfect for Bali's tropical weather. Pair that with its bright and spacious interior, and you've got a restaurant that's just as suitable for a family gathering as it is for an afternoon catch-up with friends. Me Vui You can eaily spot this place when you're walking around Legian. Its bright yellow façade practically invites you in, and it looks just like an eatery you'd stumble upon in Vietnam. The menu covers all the Vietnamese classics you'd hope for; comforting bowls of pho, delicious banh mi, spring rolls, and many more. I've been here so many times and so far I haven't had a bad meal. It's the kind of place that's equally good for a quick lunch, or a casual dinner with friends. If you're not sure what to order, don't stress too much, because it's one of those places where almost everything you order is a safe bet. Image credit: Me Vui Instagram You may also like this article: My Little Canggu Restaurant List - Part 1 Sushimi I have so many fond memories from my younger years at this Sushimi branch, and I'm happy to report that they’ve managed to maintain their quality after all this time. If you're after a quick sushi fix, the sushi train is the way to go. They also have an a la carte menu of Japanese comfort food and snacks. If you're arriving hungry, I'd recommend the bento set. It's a meal in itself, with a little bit of everything; sushi, edamame, karaage, and more. It also comes with miso soup and iced or hot green tea. The space is quite small and there's no dedicated parking area, so I'd suggest coming by scooter, walking if you're nearby, or simply ordering a Gojek. Sinaloa When you arrive at Sinaloa, you'll be greeted by the giant skulls at the entrance - one of the restaurant's most iconic features. If you enjoy people-watching, grab a seat downstairs by the bar, and if you'd prefer something a little quieter, head upstairs where it's usually more relaxed. This Mexican-inspired restaurant is open from breakfast through to late evening for drinks. The menu is packed with crowd-pleasers, including nachos, burritos, tacos, and churros, alongside a good selection of cocktails and refreshing drinks. While newer neighbourhoods in Bali continue to steal the spotlight, Legian and Seminyak remain two of the island's most reliable areas when it comes to food and convenience. Whether you're looking for a quick coffee, a family-friendly lunch, local Indonesian flavours, or a long dinner that turns into a late night out, there's something here for everyone. And just like my other restaurant lists, this one will continue to grow as I discover more places worth sharing. I hope you find this guide useful, and I hope it leads you to some delicious meals along the way. Happy holiday and thank you for reading!
