Canggu has become one of the most exciting food neighborhoods in all of Bali. Between the surf spots, rooftop sunsets, and buzzing café culture, one food scene that has quietly but confidently carved out its own lane here is ramen.

Here are five ramen spots in Canggu that are absolutely worth your time.

Ramen Hamatora

📍Jl. Pantai Batu Bolong No.43, Canggu, Kuta Utara, Badung

💰 Approximately IDR 60,000–120,000 per bowl

👥 Best For: Surfers, couples, solo diners who want a laid-back, no-fuss meal

🕐 Open daily; check Google Maps for current hours

What Makes It Special: Wide variety of broths including tonkotsu, shoyu, miso, and shio, served with complimentary iced tea a small touch that goes a long way

Ramen Hamatora is one of those places that locals keep coming back to even after years of living in Canggu. It sits right on Jalan Pantai Batu Bolong, putting it within easy walking distance of the beach which makes it a natural pit stop after a morning surf session.

The industrial-style interior is spacious and relaxed, and the pork chashu ramen has become something of a local legend on the street. If you prefer chicken, they have solid options there too, along with a vegan broth for plant-based eaters. Hamatora keeps things simple and consistent, which is exactly why people keep coming back.

Kenji Ramen (Padang Linjong)

📍Jl. Canggu Padang Linjong, Canggu, Kuta Utara, Badung

💰Approximately IDR 80,000–150,000 per bowl

👥 Best For: Groups of friends, couples, late-night diners looking for ramen plus cocktails

🕐 Opening Hours: Daily 11:00 AM – 12:00 AM

What Makes It Special: The Padang Linjong outlet is the only Kenji location that also serves yakitori and has an extended cocktail menu, making it a full evening-out destination

Kenji Ramen has been building a serious following across Bali since opening its first outlet, and the Padang Linjong location in Canggu which opened at the end of 2024 is its most elevated concept yet. 

The brand is rooted in Fukuoka-style ramen tradition, with broths that are slow-cooked fresh every day using locally sourced ingredients.

The Dan Dan Ramen and the Kenji Signature bowl are the most talked-about dishes here. There are also vegan ramen options for those skipping the meat. The vibe leans izakaya lively, social, and unpretentious and it stays open late enough that it works perfectly as a post-beach-club wind-down.

Menya Kenji (Berawa)

📍 Jl. Pantai Berawa No.13B, Tibubeneng, Kuta Utara, Badung

💰 Approximately IDR 80,000–140,000 per bowl

👥 Best For: Ramen purists, families, and anyone who prefers a quieter, more traditional dining atmosphere

🕐 Daily 11:00 AM – 10:00 PM

What Makes It Special: The homemade noodles are made fresh in-house, and the outdoor seating area surrounded by hanging lanterns creates an atmosphere that feels genuinely Japanese

While it shares a brand with the Padang Linjong location, Menya Kenji Berawa has its own distinct personality. 

The design was developed with the help of a seasoned Japanese carpenter and carries a genuine Japanese subculture feel lanterns, Japanese-character murals, and a warm, intimate atmosphere that feels very different from the modern izakaya energy of the newer outlet.

The signature pork ramen here draws consistent praise, and the tofu-based vegan broth has been described by diners as surprisingly rich and full of flavor. Ample parking and genuinely warm service make it a reliable choice whether you’re dining solo or bringing the whole group.

101 Ramen Yakitori Bar

📍Jl. Pantai Berawa No.101A, Tibubeneng, Kuta Utara, Badung

💰 Approximately IDR 90,000–130,000 per bowl

👥 Best For: Ramen enthusiasts who care deeply about broth depth, as well as vegetarians and vegans

🕐 Open daily from 12:00 PM – 11:00 PM

What Makes It Special: The 13-hour tonkotsu pork broth is the centrepiece, but the Vegan Coconut Ramen with a chili lemongrass coconut broth is one of the most thoughtful plant-based bowls in all of Canggu

There are ramen restaurants in Canggu that make a lot of noise about their concept, and then there are places like 101 Ramen Yakitori Bar that just quietly deliver an excellent bowl. 

Located on Jalan Pantai Berawa, this spot has built a reputation on a 13-hour slow-cooked broth and noodles that are made completely from scratch every single day.

The space is clean and simple white subway tiles, a pared-back design, and an easy, unhurried pace. The chili gyoza has become a genuine crowd favourite on the side dish menu, so order a portion and don’t skip it.

Sensorium Bali

📍 Jl. Pantai Batu Mejan, Canggu, Kuta Utara, Kabupaten Badung

💰 Approximately IDR 100,000–175,000 per person

👥 Best For: Food-obsessed travelers, digital nomads, anyone who wants something genuinely inventive and elevated

🕐 Monday to Sunday, 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM

What Makes It Special: The Dry Brunch Ramen has developed a cult following unlike almost anything else in the neighborhood; it is a fusion dish that genuinely earns its reputation

Sensorium Bali is not a ramen restaurant in the traditional sense. It’s a modern Australian-Asian fusion brunch café on Jalan Pantai Batu Mejan, run by an owner-chef who takes obsessive care with every single element on the menu. 

Yet somehow, it has become one of the most talked-about ramen experiences in all of Canggu a place where repeat visitors return specifically for the ramen.

The chef personally explains each dish as it arrives at the table, and the attention to flavor balance is extraordinary. Come early the queue can grow quickly by late morning, especially on weekends. Parking is limited, so arriving by motorbike or having your driver drop you off makes things easier.
