    We had a great lunch at Melting Wok which offers some great varieties of dishes both with rice and noodles. We tried their wok noodles made in coconut based soup which was our favourite. Crepe with chicken and vegetables was also another great appetiser dish we tried. Service of the staff anywhere in Bali is good, but the ladies at Melting Wok was even better than most and was in smiles from the time we walked in, served with great enthusiasm and made our meal even better. A great spot for a small bite or for a good lunch and absolute value for money for the quality of the dishes.

    Incredible green curry with tempe and rice, and fried noodles with tempe. Spicy stuff on the side to suit our taste. Very accommodating to two vegetarians. Had the place to ourselves, a nice table with its own fan overlooking a quiet side street in a nice part of town. Attentive service and prompt food. would definitely come back and hope business picks up "post" pandemic for gems like Melting Wok!

    We stumbled across this little treasure by accident for lunch - let me put it like this: we came back for dinner the same day, because we were leaving Ubud the next day. The curries (especially the days special red curry) are amazing, only shadowed by the exceptional service! Do yourself a favor get the coconut pearls as desert, you won’t regret it. We loved every minute here and definitely be back next time we are in Ubud. Keep up the amazing work girls!

    I take a seat to wait for the rain to pass. I've secured a table at The Melting Wok at last. Their chalkboard tells me what's on the menu. While I enjoy the atmosphere, the venue. The staff walks me through with delight, The special dish curry sauce noodle bite. That sounds warming, just what I need to gain, On a day brisk and filled with pouring rain. With my first taste I know I've found it, But soon to discover why it's not a hit. It lacks veggies that I always seek for, Dish filled with noodles, not what I adore. A lovely place in terms of the people. They were amazingly friendly. The place is also right in the center of Ubud and rather quiet if one can say such a thing in Ubud. I read all the reviews and was intrigued, I needed a noodle dish. Something with deep taste, hearty. Yet, I did not find it here. While I say that I want to remind, I love veggies and for me that must be the main part of a dish. Here it was scarce bamboo shoots and a bit of soy beans. Everything else was noodles and coconut based curry sauce. To me it just lacked a lot of depth and veggies. However, if you are fond of noodles, this places serves a lot of em. The side salad is amazing. The portion is fitting for 2.

    Excellent experience all throughout, from the unique menu presentation to the rapid service. The staff made this a very personalized experience thanks to their friendliness, attentiveness, knowledge of the local area, and even when they said goodbye. Besides that, I strongly recommend the chicken curry with coconut milk and rice. The quality is well-worth the tourist prices.

    A charming little place with extraordinary service! The mostly female wait staff are also friendly and cordial. Our gal helped us with the menu and explained everything, and our order was good, but not over the top. I believe it's worth the second visit to try again.

    Great vegan options, absolutely loved their vegan nasi goreng and mie goreng. It’s nice for people watching too when you sit at the front.

    Best chicken curry I have ever had. This restaurant might be my favourite in Ubud. Couldnt fault anything here. From food, location, price, staff. All superb!

    I found this place by accident because the Grab bike driver had mistakenly dropped me off here instead of another restaurant that I was supposed to visit. Nevertheless, I consider it a happy accident because I loved this place. I was greeted by four female staff upon entering, and they looked so happy to see me, I was momentarily confused. Then I realized that's just how they were trained when I saw them doing the same with other incoming customers. One of the employees held up a board of menus in front of me and proceeded to explain what was on the menu. They're really taking customer service to the next level here. To be honest, she didn't have to do it, it's written in English anyway. I also knew right away what I wanted to order, but I indulged and let her finish her spiel. I ordered a grilled chicken dish, and it was delicious. I was so full that I no longer had space for dessert. But I'm definitely coming back here, and I'll order a dessert next time.

    Tried their famous chicken curry and crispy Prawns. They are good. Staff are super welcoming and helpful.

    The food here is incredibly good! We had the yellow coconut curry with tofu and the red curry with tofu. We have been in Bali since one month and their curry's were the best we have had by far! Definitely come here ☺️

    The staff here are sooo friendly and attentive and really make you feel welcome from the moment you enter. The food was delicious - I had a tempeh coconut curry with rice - and the portion was huge. The pickled side salad was great 😋

    Order pork dumplings and crispy prawn for entree. Very good start. Then the coconut curry with rice came out. It was delicious. I ordered a second serve of rice just you use up the curry sauce. Not only the food was excellent, the staff should be commended. Price point to quality - excellent value. Definitely will dine again.

    My first time here and I fell in love instantly! I fonded their hospitality so much, as if you were welcome by your own family member. Ordered Curry with Coconut milk and rice with Mahi-Mahi fish and I liked it! Savory, tasty but still fresh. And Creme Caramel was also so soft and tasty. At first I thought their menu are Thais but apparently they are Lao food with twist. Definitely will come again to try their other menu.

    Came here as a family of four for dinner in our last day in Ubud. Saw some great reviews for this place and overall, our experiences were largely consistent with the praises this warung has received. The flavours were not too strong. Actually, the food was leaning towards the blander side of things, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. The food was affordable but didn't have a 'wow' factor that made it stand apart from other warungs in Ubud of similar styles. Stafff were nice and atmosphere was pleasant. Would come here if you're staying in Ubud and need a simple meal, but for us, we would've liked to have finished our Ubud trip at a place with a bit more 'bang'.

    We were honestly thinking we’d never return to Ubud because of how much it has changed, how busy it is getting, but memories of Melting Wok are slowly pulling us back. It is that good. Beautiful food, lovely people. I can taste it now. Little bit Lao, little bit French, little bit Bali, result = perfection.

    The most delicious food in Ubud!! It's a small place but definitely a must try! Staff are super friendly and food is beyond delicious 😋 Don't forget to get your signature crème caramel 😋

    Simple warung but with excellent food and service. The menu is written on chalkboards, with the enthusiastic ladies serving explaining it all to you. Food is earthy, good portions and absolutely fair prices.

    This place was excellent! I had naan for an appetizer and the bread was perfect in every way. My main course was a coconut curry noodle dish which was also fantastic. Service, plating, and food were all great. Highly recommend!!

👍 Ordinary food in a spectacular location, in the middle of rice paddy. The crispy duck is really crispy, a bit too dry. The sate lilit is delicious. The gurami goreng bit bland / tasteless. Nor the sauce / sambal nor the fish have any taste. It also would be better if they have soup in their menu to...
