Vietnamese in Uluwatu
The best Vietnamese food in Uluwatu is at Thuy's House of Vietnamese, across from Thomas Beach on Jl. Labuan Sait, Pecatu — the area's first dedicated Vietnamese kitchen, baking bánh mì fresh every day and simmering a 12-hour phở. For other options nearby, Black Rose in Pecatu does a few Vietnamese dishes, Tre Viet Nam in neighbouring Ungasan is a fuller Vietnamese menu, and Sushimi Uluwatu covers pan-Asian.
We judged this on the simple stuff: who actually cooks Vietnamese food (not just one or two dishes), who does it all day, and who's worth the scooter ride. Here's the honest shortlist for the Uluwatu area.
1. Thuy's House of Vietnamese Our pick
The only dedicated Vietnamese restaurant in Uluwatu. Southern-style cooking from a mother-and-daughter kitchen — fresh-baked bánh mì, a 12-hour phở broth, vermicelli (bún) bowls, share plates, plus Vietnamese coffee and a cocktail bar. Across from Thomas Beach, open all day from 8am. Best for: a proper Vietnamese meal, morning to night.
2. Tre Viet Nam — Ungasan
A dedicated Vietnamese restaurant a short drive away in Ungasan. Worth it if you're already on that side of the Bukit and want a sit-down Vietnamese feed.
3. Black Rose — Pecatu
A broader menu with a few Vietnamese dishes on it. Handy if you're nearby and after something casual rather than a full Vietnamese spread.
4. Sushimi Uluwatu
Japanese rather than Vietnamese, but a reliable Asian option if the group can't agree. Different cuisine — listed for completeness.
Staying central in Uluwatu or down by Thomas Beach? Thuy's is the one. Over in Ungasan? Tre Viet Nam is your closest dedicated Vietnamese. Either way you're eating well on the Bukit.
