Really yummy! The food came out relatively quickly and the lady there was very nice. She seems to know regular customers well since I saw her interact with someone else. One of the better bang for your buck places in International Village. My only slight gripe with it is although the plate you get when you sit down is full and it was filling enough, the plate is a little small. For $12.99 though, it's a very good meal. read more

Bali Thai - create your own beef rendang with turmeric coconut rice and green beans - Indonesian Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

We were looking for a vegetarian/vegan option, and maybe we were just super hungry, but we really liked the food at Bali Thai. It's Indonesian food which we don't eat often where we're from. The woman who took our order was really nice and asked us a few times if we wanted drinks or dessert, which we didn't but that's okay. Had the tofu and tempeh with coconut turmeric rice, plus veggies (bok choy and mushrooms). Loved the fried shallots on top and the peanut sauce. Loved that she asked if we wanted chili and cilantro (yes). Delicious and would definitely go back. read more

Bali Thai - 1 regular order. Vegetarian tofu and tempeh with peanut sauce, coconut turmeric rice, and mixed veggies - Indonesian Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Been to Bali Thai for a couple of weekday lunches. They're one of the few Indonesian spots in town, located in the International Village food court. It's a popular spot, run by a friendly lady manning the front. Takes about 15-20 minutes for food to come out. Ask for the homemade green chilies and 99 spicy (good kick, not crazy hot). - Bali iced latte ($7.50) - Iga penyet ($15.99) - boneless beef ribs had a chewy bite. Sauce on the sweet side. - Create your own ($14.99 large) - beef rendang was the best of the meats. Turmeric coconut rice was tasty. Lemongrass chicken curry lacked flavour. Eggplant was serviceable. - Laksa ($15.99) - hard to find a good laksa. This was better than expected. - Create your own ($14.99 large) - beef rendang, spicy Balinese chicken and yu choy with mushroom. Spicy Balinese chicken was tasty. - Smashed chicken ($15.99) - quarter leg chicken was tender. Tempeh was bland, fried tofu better. Will be back for more food court goodies. read more

Touted as "one of the few authentic Indonesian joints in the lower mainland". My date and I shared a large dish that came with two proteins, choice of vegetables & rice. Of course the Rendang Beef was one and Balinese Chicken. Personally, I'm not a fan of Rendang (I know!) but my date absolutely loves this. It was quite authentic tasting but he thinks it could have been drier. I was a big fan of the chicken. Spiced & flavorful & chicken was juicy. Both proteins were generous in portions. They ran out of their other veggies so we only got the mixed mushrooms & Gailan I think. They were also out of the coconut rice which was disappointing. Chicken Satays were ok, lots of peanut sauce which is great. The lady was super friendly & I believe this stall is familiar run. It located in International Village/Tinseltown food court so easily accessible by skytrain & great if you're looking for a quick bite before /after a movie. read more

Bali Thai is a local, family-run food court stall serving in authentic Indonesian cuisine at low prices. I noticed the line this weekend we all Indonesians so food must be good. It was delicious food. My friend had the special of the day: beef ribs and I had the "Build Your Own Special" so I selected the 2 proteins (friend fish and chicken) with plain rice and green vegetables. My friend and I enjoyed our meals and don't mind sitting in the food court for good and fast food. I would come for lunch or early dinner as they close by 6pm or run of our their specials by 5pm. For under $17, my plate was satisfying. Bravo to the lady running the front and shouting orders to the kitchen while navigating multiple customers all by herself. Certainly be coming back when I'm in this neighbourhood. International Village Mall has free underground parking. Paid meter parking is all around so go under for free parking and take the elevator to the food court level. read more

High-quality, authentic Indonesian food from this food stall in the International Village food court one floor up from ground level. They have advertised vegan options, which is what prompted me to try out the place. A standard plate (about $13 plus tax) includes a choice of protein (I got tempeh orek), Asian greens, button mushrooms, and either white rice or coconut turmeric rice (I got the latter), with some garnishes/toppings. (Warning: their red hot sauce is hot!) The tempeh was really nicely marinated and cooked, giving that signature nuttiness in flavour, with tons of flavour. Good portion and very friendly lady working the counter. Recommended. read more

I visited here back in November to get some Laksa. First of all, I didn't like the egg noodle and expected to have vermicelli instead. Talked to the staff as she blamed me rather than asking me if I wanted to change noodles. Her friend sided with her to argue it was rude. The dish was also came with tons of noodles with less meats for $15.99. Soup was good though. I can eat something better for that price tag. read more

A large combo includes 2 proteins plus rice. They didn't have coconut turmeric rice the day I went. Chose beef rending and spicy Balinese chicken. There are large chunks of beef, and they don't skimp on the portion of keat like some other places do For vegetables chose the eggplant which is stuffed with green Chile. I like that you have a choice of vegetables and that they aren't just the cheapest/most typical (potatoes, carrots). The food is clearly homemade, and all the sauces, including the hot sauces, are homemade. Super flavourful, meat is tender, and you can pull it apart with chopsticks. Can customize the spice level, i went eith very hot, and it did not disappoint. The owner is super nice and friendly. They also sell a bottled iced latte, which I haven't seen anywhere else. read more

The food is phenomenal and the portions are good quality too. I had the fried noodles: 10/10 would recommend.

The food is so good. Tastes like mamas home cooking and the lady is sooo nice. She offers recommendations. Get the grilled eggplant as your side and top it with green chili. Unbelievable. Beef rendang is perfectly spicy and they can add fried onion on top for a little crunch. It's inside a small food court so off the beaten path but definitely worth seeking out. Great meal at good prices. read more

Bali thai is the only indonesian food in town. So if you are craving for indonesian food say no more because bali thai got your back. Anyway, it serves from mie ayam to rendang to opor to bakso and many more. So far i have tried the mie ayam and the rice with vegetables and meat dishes. Rendang was really good. The mie ayam was good and i am looking forward to trying more in the future. I will see you soon tante! P.s. Ohh they also sell corn fritters and very good tempe here. Ohh and teh botol is something that you can get here. Also, do not forget to ask for the most spicy sambal. It was really good and definitely something you should get. read more

This tiny place was excellent. I was quite surprised how good it was considering it is in a run-down mall. The food had excellent taste, and delicious. All of us there eating were very satisfied.

Had the Indonesian laksa for lunch. It was good, what truly made this dish was a GOOD base of coconut milk and perfect on point curry ratio, but the owner's home made belachan lifted this from a 3.5 to a 4 star. Why not a 5 star? Its located in a food court, not ideal but the quality of the food is authentic. Had some sweetcorn fritters which the Indonesians are so famous for. This was divine. Perfect, crispy, non-oily with tons of garlic. Reminded me of the Cape Malay food I grew up with. Modest place, yum food. read more

I believe this is the only or one of the few Indonesian restaurants in Vancouver. It is kind of hard to believe that Vancouver is so culturally diverse but there are not a lot of Indonesian restaurants here. This is a family ran food stall inside the International Mall. The owner is very friendly and yes she Indonesian. My Yelper friends and I all ordered the bakmie with bakso (chicken noodle with beef balls). Carolyn mentioned that we have to have the kecap manis (sweet soy sauce) in the noodle. They don't put the kecap manis on unless you specifically ask for it. We also had shallot and cilantro on top. The noodles had a very interesting flavors to it. It was very tasty. In the noodle there were baby bok choy, mushrooms and ground pork. Overall, I would come back and order it again. The meal also came with beef balls. The beef balls (3) were all homemade. Yes they were not perfectly round. I would definitely come back. read more

I have to say, I enjoyed every single bite of my beef rendang with vegetables and coconut rice, laksa soup, 6 chicken skewers. Considering the aromatic taste and quality, the price is reasonable. Auntie was very welcoming and really friendly. They know what they're doing and what they're cooking, and you can tell making the customers happy is their main priority. Food is pretty good and solid 5/5. read more

So I've been told this is (as of the time of writing) the only true Indonesian food place in town. Not counting the pseudo places such as Tropika. This is one of the booths in the Tinseltown food court. Parking is available in the parkade below the mall. The lady behind the counter is quite sassy and likes to call everyone Dear. Definitely made my friends and me feel special. I've been here twice now. I can't speak for the authenticity as I've never been to Indonesia, but the food here is freaking good. The mee ayam (chicken noodle) combo comes with soup (choice wonton or beef ball), as well as some bok choy. Everything is cooked fresh. The nasi goreng is also quite good. Be sure to ask for all the toppings for the full experience. House samba (spicy) sauce has a real kick. Served out of a ghetto jar. Then there's also the cilantro, fried onions, and that sweet black sauce. The soup is tasty and probably full of MSG. Similar to those of other SE Asian places. No complaints. Definitely worth checking out, though the food court here. also has other great choices. Recommended. read more

In Vancouver, it is difficult to find good Indonesian food so it was a pleasant surprise to come across Bali Thai. I don't normally comment on food court stalls but this is one of my favourite places at the International Village. The auntie who works here is always so kind and generous, and has a keen attention to detail when it comes to running her business. She always makes sure you have all the cutlery and sauces you need before leaving. I ended up picking a two-combo meal which included both beef rendang and the balinese chicken on a bed of coconut rice and a side of yu choy and mushrooms. Both meats were very soft and the rice was flavourable. I definitely thought the crispiness of the vegatables was a nice touch to the meal. Overall, I really enjoy the food here and look forward to coming back more in the near future. If you want some good and pretty authentic Southeast Asian definitely think about stop by Bali Thai the next time you are in Chinatown. read more

I came to Bali Thai for lunch, expecting to be wowed based on all the Yelp reviews... and I was not disappointed. The auntie at the counter was quick, efficient and super friendly. Ordering was never rushed, even if there is a line of people. We ordered laksa, rice with 3 options (we chose the beef rendang, corn fritters and the balinese chicken), nasi goreng (to go) and teh botol. All that came out to less than $40 - which is a great deal for the amount of food we got. Taste-wise, the food was spot-on. Laksa had incredibly creamy soup with tons of noodles, veggies, tofu and meat/shrimp. The rice was soft and fluffy, super flavourful. I agree with all the previous reviews about the beef rendang - superb! The meat was tender and flavourful. The balinese chicken was slightly spicy and oh, the spices! Yummm! I can still taste it now, as I write this review 2 days later. And the corn fritters with the peanut sauce - wow, I didn't expect to find this taste ever again! Nasi goreng was great for dinner, especially the homemade balachan and fried shallots that the auntie offered as I picked up my to-go order. Fried rice is just fried rice without all the different spices (and veggies/shrimp/meat) that make nasi goreng special. Growing up with constant trips to Singapore has spoiled me for any SouthEast asian food that's not authentic. It's hard finding good Singaporean or Malaysian food in Vancouver, and it's near impossible to find any Indonesian food. That has now changed - I will definitely be coming back many, many times.... especially to try the kwaytiau and the pempek! read more

I love the bakmie with bakso (chicken noodle with beef balls), I will add extra kecap manis (sweet soy sauce) and a bit of the homemade chili sauce (warning: extremely spicy) together with the fried shallots and cilantro (need to ask for these). The egg noodle is tasty with plentiful of tender chicken bits. The bakso is equally good and authentic. The dishes like beef rendang and corn fritters and other items are also good but I still come back to this chicken noodle every time I am in this area. It recently dawned on me that it is very hard to find a pure Indonesian restaurant in the lower mainland. It is typically a Malaysian restaurant with some Indonesian dishes thrown in. Bali Thai is predominantly an Indonesian restaurant (the auntie is very friendly and nice, and will speak to you in Bahasa if she knows you are Indonesian) with some Thai dishes on the menu? Come here if you have miss having real Indonesian food. There is even pempek! If they can make martabak manis just like in Jakarta, my life will be complete. Oh, and chendol is usually only available during summer. read more

I came by here for lunch one day and the first thing I noticed was a sign that said 'People Love Us on Yelp', so I decided to try it out. I ordered a Laksa and my order came out in about 3 minutes. It was pretty fast considering how there were others ahead of me when I started lining up and they all got their food as well. The laksa felt like a mini hot pot bowl. There was a good mix of meat, seafood, tofu, and noodles. The broth was creamy and spicy at the right level where I could feel the flavor without overdoing it (and if you have a high tolerance for spice, the cashier offered me more spicy flakes when she gave me my food). The only thing I could think of changing would be the noodles to be crunchier because they were a little bit soggier than I would've liked. I really liked the food, how cheap it was, and the customer service I received here. Looking back at the 'People Love Us on Yelp' sign, I definitely agree with it. read more

This place is such a hidden gem. Plus, I am not sure if there are other Indonesian places in Vancouver. I was able to get variety by getting the 3-item meal. 1) Beef Rendang - This was the favourite. The need is so tender and the sauce super tasty! We even went back to get seconds of this. 2) Corn Fritter - This is really good as well but we got this fresh off the fry. Be sure to add lots of peanut sauce! 3) Balinese Chicken - This is good but be aware that this is full of shrimp sauce. It's a bit of an acquired taste. Otherwise, would definitely recommend. So dangerous since this place is so close to my work. Probably will be coming back for multiple helpings if Beef rendang! read more

This place is still my favorite!! While during the pandemic, many restaurants jack up the price and decrease portion, this restaurant actually improved the variation of the menu and made it even better. Now there's even Laksa too which I should try... ;) I always order "Choose your own" where you can pick 2 proteins and 1 veggies. It comes with Coconut rice, cilantro, garlic and chili. My favorite protein is eggplant! Before, the eggplant comes with shrimp paste, but now they changed to green chili (I think to make it vegetarian/vegan friendly) and is delicious! Not too spicy too. Nasi Goreng is also my favorite. It's made to order so you can choose what meat to include or not include. It's super authentic and big portion! Also, to make it even better, Auntie at the store is very nice and friendly :) Warning: Lots of garlic but you'll love it:) read more

The only Indonesian cuisine restaurant in Vancouver (for now). We need more indonesian cuisines in Vancouver! If you like tasty food, this is the place you should visit.

I recommend for you to try if you're in the stadium chinatown area. Made to order food could take a while if there is a lineup. So come during non peak lunch hours to get fast service.

I've never found a mall food stall that "damn" until here. I was not expecting great flavors but I got them. Popcorn chicken is awesome. Coconut rice and soup were just as good too.

Since the original Bali Thai was kicked out of the Harbour Centre food court when it was redeveloped, I have suffered an eternal yearning for eggplant sambal, beef rendang and coconut rice. At a recent trip to the movies I suddenly noticed Bali Thai had moved in to International Village - officially the Strangest Mall In Town. One quick lunchtime trip later and I can confirm that it is as good as ever, and the owner is as charming and friendly as ever. The only snag is, they don't get the traffic they deserve. So I'll be making the trip to International Village on a regular basis now. Look out for me striding down Pender between noon and one. And why not join me? Your tastebuds will love you forever. read more
