About Warung Matahari

Warung Matahari is an Indonesian restaurant on the first floor of the Echo Building at 5-8-13 Otemachi, in the Naka ward of Hiroshima, a few blocks south of the Takanobashi tram stop. The restaurant is run by Balinese owner-chef Rasa and has operated in the city for many years, drawing both Indonesian residents of Hiroshima and local diners seeking Southeast Asian food outside the city center.

The menu covers a range of Indonesian dishes built around meat, seafood, and vegetables, and the kitchen will adjust spice levels on request and prepare dishes without egg or seafood for guests who ask. Vegetarian and vegan items include seitan stir-fried with vegetables, boiled vegetables in a spicy peanut sauce in the gado-gado style, fried rice, and fried bihun noodles with vegetables. Desserts include ice cream and deep-fried banana fritters, a common way to close an Indonesian meal. Staff accommodate Muslim and vegetarian diners on request, though the restaurant is not described anywhere as formally halal-certified. Most dishes cost around 1,000 yen, and a family of three can generally eat for roughly 5,000 yen in total.

The dining room seats 27 people across counter and table seating, and the restaurant provides a bilingual menu with photographs, which makes ordering easier for visitors who do not read Japanese. Reservations are optional, and the restaurant can arrange party plans and set courses for groups on request. Credit cards are accepted, and while there is no car parking at the restaurant itself, bicycle parking is available nearby.

Published sources differ slightly on Warung Matahari's exact hours and closing day, so visitors are advised to confirm current hours directly with the restaurant before visiting. It has built a strong local reputation over the years, with more than 160 Google reviews averaging 4.5 out of 5, making it one of the more established Indonesian dining options in the Chugoku region of Japan.
