Discover Warung Big Boss in Seminyak, Bali. From scooter valet service to mouthwatering Nasi Goreng and Mie Goreng, here is our honest review of this local gem.
Hey fellow travelers!
Today, I am sharing a review of a fantastic local spot we stumbled upon in Seminyak, Bali.
We were cruising around on our scooter, looking for a solid local joint on Google Maps, and decided to pull up to Warung Big Boss. Spoiler alert: the Mie Goreng and Nasi Goreng did not disappoint!

It was one of those perfect Bali mornings where my partner and I rented a scooter to explore the breezy streets of Seminyak. 🛵
We were craving authentic Indonesian comfort food—specifically Nasi Goreng and Mie Goreng. After a quick search for local warungs, we decided the laid-back, open-air aesthetic of Warung Big Boss was exactly the vibe we wanted for an early lunch.

Right from the entrance, it had that charming, rustic local Balinese warung feel.

As soon as we pulled up to park our scooter, a super friendly staff member came out and actually valeted it across the street for us!
I have never experienced scooter valet service in my life, and honestly, it was the most delightfully extra start to our meal.

The menu here is surprisingly diverse, ranging from Pad Thai and burgers to classic Indonesian staples like Nasi Goreng and Mie Goreng.
It definitely attracts a lot of digital nomads and Western expats living in the Seminyak area, giving it a lively, multicultural community feel.

Fun side note: we realized we were both wearing matching Deus ex Machina tees we bought during our trip to Ubud!
We ordered one Nasi Goreng and one Mie Goreng. While this isn't the absolute cheapest street-side warung in Bali, the prices are incredibly reasonable—especially when compared to back home.

First up was the Seafood Nasi Goreng! 🦐
At 85k IDR (which is around ~$5), it was a great deal. It might not be the single most mind-blowing meal of your life, but it was incredibly clean, fresh, and served in a beautiful open-air setting that captured the true essence of Bali.
Am I the only one who doesn't eat the krupuk (prawn crackers) that come on the side? I always feel like they distract from the rich savory flavors of the fried rice, so I usually leave them untouched. Let me know if you do the same!

Next was the Chicken Satay Mie Goreng!
This one was priced around 75k IDR (approx. ~$4.50).
My partner opted for the noodles, but we both agreed that the Nasi Goreng was the real standout at Warung Big Boss. There was just something about the seasoning of the rice that hit the spot perfectly.

Overall, Warung Big Boss is a fantastic, casual spot to grab a bite in Seminyak.
The food is delicious, but it’s the memories of riding our scooter through the warm morning air, ordering comfort food, and soaking in the slow, relaxed pace of Bali that made this brunch so special. 👍🏻

Looking at these photos makes me crave authentic Nasi Goreng all over again!
I'm already dreaming about when my next trip to Bali will be. Until then, I'll keep sharing my favorite memories and tips from this paradise.
If you're hunting for a great brunch spot in Seminyak, definitely add Warung Big Boss to your list!

Yes, if you park your motorbike in front of the restaurant, the staff will valet park it across the street. You can easily get parking service even if you arrive by motorbike.
The Seafood Nasi Goreng is 85k, which is ~$4, and the Chicken Satay Mie Goreng is 75k. It might not be considered very cheap by local restaurant standards, but it is quite affordable compared to prices in Korea.
When you order the Seafood Nasi Goreng, it is served with fried crackers similar to prawn crackers. According to visitor reviews, the Nasi Goreng is generally tastier than the Chicken Satay Mie Goreng.
