Wet Plate Kitchen – An Amazing Asian Dinner Spot Near Balangan Uluwatu

Wet Plate Kitchen

Wet Plate Kitchen is an Asian-inspired restaurant near Balangan Beach, Uluwatu, serving dinner from an open kitchen where Chef Rendi Cuanda and his team cook throughout the evening. The menu moves across Japanese, Korean, Thai and Southeast Asian flavours, with everything from yakitori and tataki to curries, noodles and grilled dishes.

The open kitchen is a big part of the experience. You can watch the team at work while the menu comes together, starting with dishes such as beef or tuna tataki and seabass crudo, before moving into the yakitori selection, including beef with ponzu, prawns with truffle mayo and chicken with ponzu.

For mains, there’s plenty to explore beyond the grill. The black cod with miso yuzu, assam scallop curry with rice and roti, Korean noodles, khao soi and roasted half chicken with Sichuan plum sauce bring a distinctly Asian mix to the menu, while ribeye, seabass and skillet octopus offer something for bigger appetites.

Drinks are part of the evening too, with a cocktail list designed to work alongside the food. The atmosphere is warm and relaxed, making Wet Plate a good option for a date night, dinner with friends, or a long meal after a day around Balangan and Uluwatu.

If you’re looking for a dinner spot in Uluwatu that goes beyond the usual pizza, burgers and smoothie bowls, Wet Plate Kitchen is worth knowing. Come hungry, order for the table, and give yourself time to work through the menu rather than trying to pick just one thing.
