From pork knuckle carving to Barong dances, WAHAHA Bali turns dining into an experience – delicious, local, and family-approved.
There’s no question that WAHAHA is a meat lover’s paradise. As someone who loves a good carnivorous feast, the menu at this Balinese-owned restaurant is my dream come true. Think fall-off-the-bone ribs, crispy pork knuckle carved tableside, and recipes seasoned with local Balinese herbs and spices. Every dish is thoughtfully prepared with no MSG, artificial colouring, or preservatives.
I highly recommend pigging out at WAHAHA — but the food is just the beginning of your dining experience here. At both WAHAHA restaurants in Seminyak and Jimbaran, you’ll be served crave-worthy pork with a side of fun. The spacious Seminyak venue is perfect for families with its grassy lawn and kids’ activities, while the Jimbaran branch ups the entertainment with live Barong dance performances and a lively open-air vibe.
From family dinners to group celebrations, WAHAHA brings great food, culture, and good times, all rolled into one.
Fun for: FAMILIES
WAHAHA is one of the best family friendly restaurants in Bali for good reason – and I’m not just talking about the kid-friendly menu. At the Seminyak branch, there’s plenty of space for little ones to run around, complete with a grassy lawn, a kids’ corner, and bright murals that set a cheerful tone. Parents can relax over “the best pork ribs in Bali” and a cold Bintang while keeping an eye on the action.
Down south in Jimbaran, the family-friendly spirit continues. The two-storey restaurant stands tall within Samasta Lifestyle Village – an open-air shopping and entertainment hub. After a day of strolling through the complex, it’s only natural to stop by for a family feast at WAHAHA. Kids will love the mesmerising fountains and the cute play corner stocked with colouring pages, cartoon stamps, and souvenirs.
Fun for: GROUPS
Whether it’s a long lunch with friends or a birthday dinner, WAHAHA is made for sharing. The tables are big, the servings are generous, and the energy is always lively. The star of the show? The chef’s tableside pork knuckle performance. It’s a mini show in itself. When the chef carved through the golden, crackling skin at our table, every head (and camera!) turned.
The sound alone drew us in, and the aroma was irresistible. But once we tasted it, we realised it’s not just for show. The meat was juicy and packed with flavour after marinating for 24 hours in local spices. And here’s my favourite bit: our pork knuckle came with three Balinese condiments for extra punch: Bumbu Bali, Sambal Matah, and Sambal Embe. This dish definitely takes centre stage and will always get everyone reaching for a fork.
Fun for: EVERYONE
At the Jimbaran outlet, dinner comes with a dose of Balinese culture. On select evenings, you can catch a live Barong dance performance, adding rhythm, tradition, and storytelling to your meal. WAHAHA isn’t “just” a restaurant; it’s where food, culture, and community come together. Add to that the friendly staff and upbeat crowd, and you’ll find yourself staying longer than planned. And maybe even ordering another plate of ribs or a second round of drinks!
Family, friends, or first-timers, everyone leaves WAHAHA with full bellies, big smiles, and plans to come back for more. Between the pork knuckle carving, the lively atmosphere, and those Balinese touches, it’s part pork restaurant, part performance!
