We love their modern twist on traditional Chinese food and their use of colour as well as taste and texture makes every meal here an Instagram-worthy experience.
Their fortune cookies contain a QR code and it’s that kind of touch that makes Lion X awesome.

Bai Yun @ The Apurva Kempinski Bali
The Apurva Kempinski is one of the swankiest hotel complexes on the island and their Chinese restaurant is clearly one of the best Chinese restaurants in Bali from the moment you walk through the door.
We love their delicious dim sum brunch which is absolutely fantastic and their hotpot dinner (a great example of real traditional Chinese culture showing through in authentic Chinese dishes) is even better!
Even their fried rice is taken to the next level. Classic Chinese-style food has never tasted this good!

Fu Shou is one of the most popular Chinese restaurants in Bali. That may be because there’s not much competition in Ubdu but that wouldn’t be fair because the food here is great.
This Chinese restaurant is all about the noodles and given how important a role noodles play in Chinese cuisine, we’re surprised that there aren’t more places in Bali with this angle on things.
