About Bintang Bali
Just north of Okubo Station in Shinjuku, Bintang Bali has built a following among Tokyo's Indonesian community and curious local diners alike for its straightforward, halal-friendly take on Indonesian home cooking. The name translates to "Bali Star," and the restaurant leans into that regional identity with dishes drawn from Balinese and broader Indonesian traditions rather than a generic pan-Asian menu.
Ordering follows a ticket-machine system typical of many casual Tokyo eateries, where diners select and pay for dishes at a machine near the entrance before taking a seat. Despite the self-service style, reviewers have noted that the food itself is prepared by Indonesian cooks and stays close to home-style flavors, with more than 35 items on the menu covering rice dishes, noodles, curries, and grilled items. The restaurant seats around 25 people across its third-floor space and has a designated smoking area separate from the main dining room.
Bintang Bali is closed on Mondays and open the rest of the week from 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM. It has also been recommended by Indonesia's embassy in Tokyo as a place to find Indonesian food near Okubo Station, a neighborhood already known in Tokyo as a hub for Korean and other Asian communities. The restaurant sits on the third floor of the Hashimoto Building, a short walk from the station along Okubo Street.
The restaurant has accumulated a steady base of reviews over the years, with diners commenting on the improved layout after past renovations and consistent quality across repeat visits. It remains a modestly priced option, with most meals falling in the 1,000 to 1,999 yen range, and continues to serve as one of the more established Indonesian dining spots in the Shinjuku, Yoyogi, and Okubo area, distinct from the newer Indonesian restaurants that have opened elsewhere in central Tokyo.
