Bakmi Akiu Dalung

Pork noodles on Raya Dalung

On Jl. Raya Dalung No.16, squeezed between constant traffic and scooters, Bakmi Akiu Dalung keeps drawing regulars for one thing: non-halal, porky bakmi done the old-school Chinese-Indonesian way. It’s small, straightforward, and very much about the bowl in front of you.

Bakmi, pork, and chili heat

The focus here is bakmi with house-style noodles praised for their firm, elastic texture (“kenyal”) and thin variants that some guests now prefer over larger chains (Google 2024). Non-halal toppings are the star: charsiu-style pork, minced pork, and pangsit/wonton, plus dim sum on the side. Several reviews single out the deep-fried dim sum and gyoza goreng as crunchy, satisfying bites when they arrive hot, especially with the house sambal and chili oil.

Prices, portions, and opening hours

Portions are widely described as affordable and “very cheap” for the area, with guests calling it a good value for family lunches and regular visits (up to “2 times in a week”). The Dalung branch generally opens around 08h00–21h00 or until items sell out, and one fan even calls it the “best bfast place in Dalung” with doors open from 7am. Do note they sometimes close early or run out of popular items in the evening.

Room to sit, but not to linger

Inside, the interior is consistently noted as clean and simple; several people describe it as a “nice place to go for lunch break” or a cozy, family-friendly spot. Others disagree, finding the AC too weak, the room warm and a bit stifling, and not ideal for long, relaxed meals (Google 2024). Service is usually praised as humble, fast, and polite, with staff explaining the menu and even opening the door on the way out, though a few guests mention slow acknowledgement during busy periods.

Parking, takeaways, and delivery apps

Raya Dalung is narrow and busy; parking a car is tricky, while scooters are far easier. That reality pushes many locals to order via GoFood or GrabFood rather than dine in, and the brand leans heavily on those platforms plus its active Instagram account. Takeaway orders incur a small extra charge, which one reviewer found fair as a way to reduce packaging waste.

What regulars keep coming back for

Fans talk about “favorite noodles of all time”, spicy toppings done just right, and “no Bali belly” after breakfast sessions. Dissenters find the noodles basic, or wish the soup was hotter and the dim sum more “authentic”, so expectations matter. In the end, Bakmi Akiu Dalung suits people who care more about a satisfying bowl of non-halal noodles at a fair price than about air-con perfection or easy car parking.
