We had a fantastic dining experience at Hatiko. The deep-fried calamari starter, which we got to pick out ourselves, was absolutely delicious, especially with the honey mustard sauce. We also loved the red snapper served with white sticky rice, and the tiger prawns with garlic butter were simply to die for. Overall, highly recommend this place for a great seafood meal!

HATIKU JIMBARAN delivers the quintessential Balinese seafood dining experience. Located right on Jimbaran Bay, the restaurant offers magical "toes-in-the-sand" seating where you can watch the sunset paint the sky in fiery hues—it's casual, romantic, and perfectly captures the island's charm. The true stars of the menu are the fresh-off-the-boat bestsellers. We opted for a feast featuring their renowned whole grilled fish, succulent prawns, and a selection of tender shellfish. The seafood is expertly grilled over coconut husks, which infuses every bite with a deep, smoky aroma unique to the traditional Jimbaran style. The whole fish was the highlight, perfectly moist beneath a delightfully charred, flavor-packed skin. Equally impressive was the Fried Calamari. It arrived piping hot with a light, crisp batter that wasn't greasy, making it the ideal crunchy counterpoint to the rich, grilled fare. Crucially, the accompanying sambal matah—Bali’s raw chili and shallot relish—provides an addictive, fiery freshness that truly elevates the entire meal. Service is warm and efficient, handling the sunset rush with ease. While there are many seafood grills in this area, HATIKU stands out for its combination of genuine flavor, fresh ingredients, and unforgettable ambiance. If you’re looking for the classic Bali grilled seafood dinner with a spectacular view, HATIKU JIMBARAN is highly recommended.

Very clean and great location. I ordered the sweet lobster as that’s all they had and some calamari x 3 skewers and tiger prawns x 3. It comes with rice and fruit and a very nice selection is sauces. I opted for local sauce which was sweet and flavoursome. The staff were very friendly and efficient: the only down side was the lobster was very very chewy and tough, so much so I left the whole thing. But the other food was very tasty .

We ordered fish, shrimp, lobster, and clams — everything was fresh, tasty, and delicious. The seafood quality is really good, and we enjoyed the flavors. However, I asked the server to prepare my order for 7:00 PM, but the food only arrived at 7:25 PM, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, great food and ambiance, but the service timing could be improved.

We had the most amazing family dinner here. The food was fresh and absolutely delicious. Personal favourites were the clams and the grilled fish. Recommend to come here right before sunset, you'll have the most amazing views while eating! The service was quick and friendly, so all in all a very memorable night. Hoping to come again one day.

Very nice seafood place with a beautiful beach setting. You can enjoy your meal while watching the waves and listening to the ocean, which creates such a relaxing atmosphere. There was a live band playing music, adding a really nice touch to the experience. The seafood was very good and fresh, and the overall atmosphere was quiet, cozy, and enjoyable. A great spot to relax and enjoy good food by the beach, definitely recommended!
