Bakmi Akiu Jimbaran, noodles for the campus crowd
Legendary noodles by the campus road
On Jl. Raya Kampus Unud No.81, a bright, air‑conditioned dining room hums with students escaping lectures, rain and traffic. This Jimbaran branch of Bakmi Akiu leans on a “legendary since 1985” reputation while aiming squarely at the Udayana University crowd with halal comfort bowls and student‑friendly prices.
Halal bakmi with student pricing
Bakmi Akiu Jimbaran serves Indonesian–Chinese style noodles, dumplings, nasi tim and porridge, all clearly marked No Pork No Lard (Halal). Bowls of bakmi, meatballs and sides sit in the roughly 24k–40k IDR range, and reviewers repeatedly call the place “cheap and good” and “worth the price” (Google, 2024). One early‑morning guest loved a breakfast promo at 15k that bundled noodles or porridge with free‑flow pangsit chips and tea.
Noodles, broth and side dishes
Many regulars call this their “fave place” and “my favourite noodle restaurant in Bali”, praising springy noodles, rich umami broth and generous meatball portions. Chili oil bakmi is popular, though one chili‑oil fan found their bowl oddly sour and missing that signature kick, while another diner said the chili oil version was “quite spicy” with a good broth. Sides like fried mantou with condensed milk, crispy fried siomay and bubur ayam draw compliments, though a few guests found chicken wings bitter or dimsum soggy and floury on off‑days.
Roomy, lively, sometimes too loud
Inside, the dining space is described as spacious, clean and modern, with some outdoor seating facing the street and a slightly “90s” ambience that charms certain guests. Others point to drawbacks: too many stairs to reach the dining room for older visitors, air‑conditioning that can’t quite keep up in the heat, and a noise level so high that conversations require raised voices.
Service: from glowing praise to growing pains
Service experiences split. Many guests rave about cheerful, attentive staff, “very fast” serving times and a team that “really take good care of us”; several say the excellent service is what keeps their families coming back. But other reviews, especially from late 2024, mention slow ordering, long queues at a single cashier, and waits of 30–40 minutes both in‑house and via delivery apps, sometimes with no communication when orders are delayed or cancelled.
Access, parking and how it feels to eat here
The restaurant sits right on the main Jimbaran road, easy to spot and close to Nirnala and the university, but parking for cars is limited and can be stressful. Portions are seen as generous by some and “very less” by others, and one diner disliked plastic cutlery. Still, between the campus‑side location, halal reassurance and promotions on GoFood and GrabFood, it remains a go‑to for many locals seeking quick, affordable comfort food.
Best suited to students, nearby residents and noodle lovers who value price, halal assurance and a lively atmosphere more than a quiet, polished dining experience.
