The only Indonesian food in town
I stayed 6 years in Ames and during my first two years I frequented Bali Satay for almost everyday. They were a small scale restaurant next to the burger king (now quizno's). Hard work and good customer relations (the owner knew everyone by his/her first name) paid off, and now they are a big one. The food used to spicier than they are now. But if Thai Kitchen was not there Bali Satay would be deinately the best oriental restaurant in town. The interior decoration is becoming better and beetter every year. In adition to the restaurant, now they have a full scale bar too.
All said, the food is great; and they'll make it according to your spice reception level. The price has become a little expensive for the student community, but it's worth spending.    [22 Mar 2006 15:52:33]

Nothing Like it
It took a little while for me to walk in, but once I did, I had to go back to try everything. I still think Bali Satay is the best Asian food in town. The prices are very reasonable, unlike the Spice, but the quality is much better than other Chinese restaurants in town.    [03 Jul 2007 18:47:13]
