    I really wanted to like this restaurant. The atmosphere was nice, and the service was good. Portion sizes here are really small, and the sashimi was just okay. It wasn't the best we've had. Parking is across the street from the restaurant. Outdoor space is nice. We paid $28 USD, which isn't bad compared to what we would spend in the States. But the quality wasn't there.

    The best restaurant in Bali! My husband and I stayed in Bali for 3 weeks and visited this Japanese restaurant almost every day. We have eaten at many different restaurants in Bali and we can genuine say that this restaurant is by far the best restaurant on the whole island! The menu is large and you can choose between different options, inklusive vegetarian and vegan options. All the dishes we tried were delicious and freshly prepared. The quality has always remained very high and we haven't had a single day when we didn't like our food. The fish melts in your mouth like butter, it's so fresh here. I recommend the salmon sashimi, it's just great! The service is super nice and attentive, we really felt welcome here. My husband is a vegetarian and he always got a vegetarian option as a compliment from the chef, even though the original option is not a vegetarian one. Nevertheless, my husband's eating habits were taken into account and he was very happy! We can definitely recommend this restaurant! We would like to thank all the cooks and waiters of Soya Restaurant: you made us very happy!

    What a disappointment! I was so looking forward to a dining experience, as it should be, I love Japanese food, but it felt like waiting in a KFC. No ambience, loud pop music for the teenage staff to enjoy, the WORST cheap chopstix I have seen in my life. Untrained staff. Beautiful menu and food, but really skimped on just 1/3 of wine glass, while paying a high price. We left after entrées as I couldn't stomach the plasticity any more.

    I really wanted to love this restaurant and while it was still an awesome place to have dinner, the food wasn't quite as fresh as I might have hoped. I've eaten a lot of salmon sashimi in my life and this could have both been cut better and be fresher. I usually wouldn't complain, but when you're dealing with raw fish, it really needs to be perfect. The location is fantastic and the seating is very comfortable and nice. I prefer eating on the patio, but the inside is really nice too. The staff is knowledgeable, fast and attentive. I'd go here again, and probably not get anything raw.

    This place is amazing! We were dying for a good sushi place in Sanur and stumbled upon Soya. The food was all perfectly presented, the tuna and steak dishes melted on our mouths and the service was excellent. We really felt looked after and Adi our waiter was incredibly professional and efficient. It was all very reasonably priced too for the quality of the food and settings. Would highly recommend this place to all!

    I miss a lot about western style Japanese cuisine. All the dishes were pretty good. It's fine for just try once.

    Not as good as it was before the pandemic Had a chance to visit this restaurant again after its long hiatus only to found out that they changed their menu. Ok, I thought. A new beginning and I was excited to try. The wait staffs were friendly and because it wasn't too crowded, they let us choose our seat which was nice. We ended up being seated outside as it was so cramped inside. We choose the couch, it was comfy but their ceiling fan wasn't strong enough to accommodate us. We ended up feeling hot and it was quite uncomfortable. I recommend this place to my friends because it used to have extensive menu choices. What they handed us today was their new text-only-menu. When I asked about their Tuna Martini --which was as far as I remember was the reason why I did always came back for more-- they mentioned that it is no longer available. My friend and I was quite disappointed. Moving on, my friend and his wife ordered one of the bento and stir fry soba respectively but I'm not sure which one was which. So, I'm focusing my review only on the food that my husband and I ordered. I ordered their Grilled Squid and Tempura Moriawase. Meanwhile my husband choosed the Sanur Bento and their Cold Soba. We both had Cold Ocha for drinks (free one time refill -- if you asked) The wait for the food was average. While we wait, they served a plate of four pieces of appetizers that looked like samosa (for free/complimentary). It filled with fish and it was tasty. These are my reviews on the food: 1. The Grilled Squid was quite good although the squid was chewy indicating that it was slightly overcooked. 2. The Cold Soba is quite pleasant but the sauce was underseasoned and watery. We had to ask for additional soy sauce to correct the taste. 3. Sanur Bento is quite good. The sashimi was fresh. But they didn't serve the sashimi with soy sauce. So... It felt incomplete. 4. Tempura Moriawase has prawns, fish, mushroom, and other assorted vegetables. It was crispy, beautifully seasoned. But again, the sauce isn't up to my liking as it was tasteless and watery. What I think they can do to improve their services: 1. Automatically deliver condiments to guests table without being asked. Basic condiments that goes well with Japanese Food like Soy Sauce, Wasabi, Gari/Pickled Ginger, as well as chilli powder/flakes. 2. Complimentary unlimited ocha/green tea refill. Overall a pleasant dining experience. Although quite mediocre. Not as terrific as it was but this is just a beginning. I'm sure that they want to and can improve their quality. Cheers!

    The most important thing a Japanese restaurant should have is fresh food. They absolutely have that here. The tuna tataki is great. Tonkatsu is too dry for my taste. Still, when you deep-fry such thin pork, it's easy to make a mistake. The sauce didn't save the situation. Dry rice all the more so. I really liked the golden roll. The flavors were chosen wonderfully. I paid with cash. The change came in the raggedest pieces of paper I've ever been given here in Bali. Probably wanted to say something.

    One of the best places I visited in sanur especially being a vegan. In fact my non Veg family were impressed with he food as well. Loved the ambiance, the servers were attentive and super friendly, they even gave us extra arak to takeaway! 😃 Good vegan options can be found here and the cocktails were delicious

    I had the beef tatake and it was delicious. My daughter and son had the agadashi tofu and the nigiri rolls and they were very pleased as well. Excellent service

    A good Japanese restaurant with a good menu selection. I ordered the Seki Wake Sashimi and it was great -and a lot bigger than expected. Also had the chicken Karaage which was also good. By the main road so atmosphere is a little noisy if sat outside but that's the only negative.

    Avocado roll was decent- 3 pieces. Tuna roll was not brilliant- fair. Cha soba was mushy and overcooked. Yuk. Not the best and fairly expensive for what you get.

    The food is unique and well prepared. Service was the best part if this restaurant dining experience. The iced tea and Ocho was not very good and not many other beverage options to choose from.

    Clean and beautiful place. Staff were kind and opened doors for us. Food was staggered when serving, sushi arrived 30 mins after main meal. No prompts for extra drinks and was hard to get staff attention, however it was quite busy. Couple roll and ramen meals were delicious. Beautiful presentation of food.

😐 Well it was a delicious bowl of bakso and their ribs are so tender and flavourful, how flavourful you may ask? If you make your own beef broth and put a handful of msg that’s how flavourful their broth is! I heard their ribs or so called balung will be sold out after 12pm so come quick for their rib...
