Bali Kitchen

This restaurant is at one of the corners in Old Sacramento. We ordered at the restaurant’s door and there are outdoor seating area on the patio. The service was good and pretty fast. - Indonesian fried chicken: good. The chicken meat was tender and we could taste the spices of marinade in the meat. I wish that they cooked the meat a bit longer so it had crispy skin. - Chicken satay: good. The meat was tender and flavorful. The peanut sauce was good but I wish that it had chunks of peanut. - Lontong sayur: very good. The soup was creamy and flavorful. - Es cendol: good and perfect for a hot day! The cendol was chewy and plenty. The coconut milk was perfectly sweetened.

I enjoyed the Sate Ayam and the lemper. The lemper had a wonderful subtle sweet combo of lemongrass and coconut milk. Not as tight as I’m accustomed to but the flavors are there. The pickled veggies served with the Sate Ayam and rice were crisp and sharply pickled, a nice accent to the milder chicken and rice. I enjoyed the saté and the fact that it wasn’t overcooked and dried out. Friendly and quick service. A wonderful “taste of home.” Enjoyed it and will be back!

Came here after visiting the train museum. Food was made to order and came quickly. We ordered the broccoli/chicken with rice plate, teriyaki chow mein, and the nasi goreng. Ingredients looked vibrant and tasted very fresh and light but full of flavor. My 4-year old devoured the teriyaki chow mein and I particularly enjoyed the dish as well.

The little old lady who runs this place is so sweet! She’s a great cook too!

I’ve been here 4 times in two months and I live over an hour away! I also take my family and friends here. I love most of the food here and here’s my review… Bali Kitchen is located in the beautiful Old Town Sacramento, close to all the candy, toy, and other fun shops. Street parking can be hard to find during busy hours. There is a parking garage nearby that charges $1.50 per half hour. There is outdoor seating only, so bring a jacket if you go when it’s cold. Sometimes the staff isn’t right by the door, so ring the bell! My friend and I tried the Nasi Goreng / Fried Rice, Tofu Curry, and Goat Soup / Soto Kambing, Resoles, Es Cendol. The Es Cendol needs a little bit more brown sugar. Resoles was good but not amazing. So they weren’t my favorite. My friend liked the tofu curry because it
