SIKI integrates Japanese minimalism with Balinese natural warmth, expressed through wood textures, landscaping and open air transitions. The environment is designed to feel stylish yet relaxed, with spaces that encourage movement, conversation and connection.
Lighting, music and ambiance shift naturally throughout the evening, creating a dynamic sense of place that evolves with the rhythm of service.
SIKI comprises several distinct spaces that accommodate a range of experiences and occasions. The main dining hall is an energetic indoor area that comfortably seats seventy guests and serves as the heart of the restaurant.
Adjoining it is a deck area overlooking the ocean, seating forty guests and offering a breezy, intimate outdoor atmosphere. Kazami Hall, a semi outdoor venue surrounded by greenery, seats up to seventy guests and is suited for celebratory gatherings, while the Hanagasa Oasis is an expansive garden area that can host up to two hundred guests for weddings, events and large-scale celebrations.
Each venue allows for a different expression of the restaurant’s personality, from quiet dinners to lively occasions.
The beverage program at SIKI features sake, wine, zero proof beverages and contemporary cocktails that are crafted to complement the cuisine. Selections reflect Japanese influences and artisanal techniques, and occasionally incorporate local ingredients such as arak.
Rather than overpowering the food, drinks are designed to lift flavor, refresh the palate and add a layer of playful sophistication to the dining experience.
Dining at SIKI is designed to feel lively, expressive and socially engaging. Guests can enjoy multi course dining journeys or à la carte selections that highlight premium seafood, handcrafted preparations and contemporary Japanese flavors.
SIKI is led by Executive Chef and Chef Owner, Vincent Hiew, who brings experience from internationally recognized Japanese restaurants, including Nobu in Perth and Nobu on Crystal Cruises.
His culinary style balances technique, authenticity and emotional resonance, shaped by a global perspective and an appreciation for local culture and ingredients.
At SIKI, Chef Vincent focuses on creating food that sparks joy, tells stories and brings people together, reflecting his belief that meaningful dining is built not only on mastery of technique, but on connection.
SIKI’s signature dish is Tri Taluh, a delicate composition of sous-vide egg and roe served on brioche, finished with caviar. More than a dish, it reflects the restaurant’s attitude toward flavor and storytelling — playful, refined and culturally expressive. Tri Taluh embodies the harmony between Japanese technique and Balinese warmth, serving as an introduction to the experience as a whole.
The culinary philosophy at SIKI is defined by precision, creativity and cultural harmony. Dishes are prepared using Japanese techniques, premium ingredients and seasonal produce, elevated with Balinese character and emotional nuance. The intention is not only to present refined cuisine, but to create experiences that feel personal, warm and enriching. SIKI embraces the belief that culinary craft can be both meticulously executed and deeply human, reflecting its ethos of being “crafted with precision and enriched by soul.”
SIKI is a beachfront modern Japanese restaurant located in Nusa Dua, Bali, where Japanese culinary artistry meets the soulful warmth of Balinese hospitality. The restaurant opened to the public on 7 July 2024, marking the beginning of a contemporary culinary presence on the island. Since its opening, SIKI has been envisioned as a coastal dining experience that celebrates flavor, craft and meaningful connection.
The philosophy of “Where Japan Meets Bali” is expressed through food, design and service, creating a dining environment that feels joyful, expressive and memorable. Every detail is shaped to balance precision with warmth, encouraging guests to relax, savor and share in experiences that feel vibrant and human.
