Takumi

I decided to come back at Takumi 2 years after I had the pleasure to discover this great restaurant in Seminyak. The dishes are still incredible and the the chef and his team still at the top! I will come back in 4 days for the famous Omakase menu! Impatient to be there again !

What a fantastic discovery. From the busy street outside, you step through what feels like a hidden fairytale entrance and are immediately transported into a completely different world. It is beautifully done and sets the tone for the entire evening. Before dinner, we were taken upstairs to the very cool bar, where an incredibly knowledgeable and passionate host guided us through a wonderful sake tasting. Not only were the sakes excellent, but the whole experience was relaxed, entertaining and genuinely interesting - exactly how a tasting should be. We then headed downstairs for dinner, where the food absolutely lived up to the build-up. Beautifully presented, refined Japanese dishes, full of flavour and clearly prepared with enormous attention to detail. Dish after dish surprised us. It is one of those restaurants where the entire journey works: the hidden entrance, the atmosphere, the sake experience, the service and, most importantly, the food. An absolute must-try if you are ever in the Seminyak / Umalas / Kerobokan area. We would return without hesitation.

We had a meeting with the team and experienced the Set Lunch Bento, and we were blown away! From the appetizer to the dessert, everything was served in one bento, which was absolutely fantastic. Every dish was super fresh and full of flavor. The staff were incredibly attentive, and the seating area provided the perfect atmosphere to relax. We also had a look upstairs, where they have a beautifully designed bar. I will definitely come back to experience the bar next time. Thank you, Ibu Ika and Pak Rudi, for taking the time to explain the food and concept, and for your warm hospitality.

We had a wonderful “fancy” dinner for our last night in Bali on our anniversary trip. The staff are amazing from the front door security to the staff working the bar. Big shout outs to Feri out waitresses (but do much more than that) and Agus the manager. Wife enjoyed miso eggplant for entree and the black cod for main. I had the tempenyaki prawns and then the M9 sirloin with 9 accompaniments (yes NINE). We were astounded by being served a shot of saki and at the end we were flabbergasted at the presentation of an anniversary plate with delectable morsels. Oshi!!!
