Finding genuinely satisfying ramen in Jimbaran is easier than you might expect, with a few standout spots that have built loyal followings on the strength of rich broths and well-priced bowls.
SatuSatu, a Bali travel platform that helps travelers find the best experiences on the island, knows that a great meal goes beyond the obvious recommendations. Here’s where to find the best ramen Jimbaran has to offer.
Kojiro Ramen
📍 Jl. Uluwatu II No. 4XX, Jimbaran (directly opposite Zuri Express Hotel)
💰 Starting from around IDR 20,000 per bowl

Kojiro Ramen has carved out a strong reputation in Jimbaran as the neighborhood’s most accessible and honest ramen option. Founded in March 2023, the kitchen prides itself on rich, slow-cooked broths prepared using traditional methods and served at a price that makes returning weekly feel justifiable.
The halal certification is a significant point of difference in the Bali ramen market, as many competing spots serve pork-based broths. The atmosphere is casual and neighborhood-forward. This is the kind of place where you’re eating alongside local Jimbaran residents rather than a tourist crowd, which says a lot about the quality and value on offer.
