I crave Indo food often, and rarely find it unless I'm in LA, so I was pleasantly surprised to see Bali Express show up on Yelp so close to home. The Spicy Lemongrass Shrimp was a mood changer. I'm looking forward to eating that again asap. The lemongrass is full-spectrum Indonesian spice blend made by their multigenerational chef. Highly recommend it on anything. My usual order is the beef rendang, because it's a childhood comfort dish. The Sambal is delicious and VERY hot. Tread carefully. read more

ambiance was nice. causal. service was great. the food was incredibly delicious, we loved everything we ordered. however, the food was super oily, and something about it caused one member of our party to get nauseous and sick afterwards and four of us to have constant bowel movements afterwards. it's a shame because of how incredibly tasty everything was but i would be scared to go back. all members of our party can handle very spicy food so that wasn't it. must have been the insane amount of oil read more

ALL THE RUMORS ARE TRUE! this place is BOMB.COM! I heard about it, haven't had the chance to go get it for a while. FINALLY made it out there... DELISH. I got some sort of chicken skewer thing with fried rice and peanut sauce and it was awesome. The servers there were very nice. The restaurant doesn't look like much on the inside, do not let that deter you. If you like Thai food you will like this. read more

At the Lights Festival serving some excellent dishes. I tried Rendang, the best dish in the world for 2017. It was very good and exactly as advertised. When they tell you it's one of hottest dishes you can find believe them. Almost too hot to eat but full of flavor. Served with yellow coconut rice and veggies it's a full meal. read more

Quality/Quantity - Congrats on all your success; wishing you the best. You deserve it! Wow, I can NOT believe it has been since February of 2024 since we discovered you at the Revision Yelp event. What a 5 star event! So of course ,when we found out you are now in Carson City (since 7/8/25), we wanted to support you! Oh, also congrats on your 2 year anniversary! So many blessings. Love your faith shirts BTW. My wife insisted we get the best sellers, so we got all 3! Lumpia - Generous portions. Made fresh. The sauces compliment it well. I don't think it was your typical sweet and spicy sauce, it must have an extra spice or two in it...? Well, my wife took most of the sauce, so I did not get to re-sample it, lol. Made fresh after we ordered, so be careful as it was piping HOT. Rendang - SO spicy!! I loved it. But not when I am traveling, lol. Sampled and took the rest home to finish. As light eaters, we typically over order... Mie Goreng - Their version of chow mein. Again, so good. Everything was made to order, so fresh. They also gave us two sauces, see picture. But we did not need it as the food was already so flavorful. I took it home and will add it to my cooking Complimentary bottled water when dining in; thank you. Saved me a walk back to the car. Next time we will try your other side, your partner's Fuego Tacos! Atmosphere - Beautiful location. I look forward to all the future decor. Decent size indoor seating, booths, tables, and counters. See pictures. Outdoor seating also, see pictures. Open 7 days a week from 11am to 9pm or 10pm. See my pictures. Huge restroom. Service - 6 stars. Both Barry and his wife are so welcoming. If you are following, we usually eat at "irregular" times to avoid crowds. So not many customers, which gave us a chance to hang out with Barry, and all the other owners. Price - $42 + tip. Reasonable prices for all we got. Owner Comment - Congrats on your continued success! And all your awards (4, soon to be 5...?) We look forward to supporting you. read more

Bali Express has now opened a physical restaurant in Carson City! It's located in the old Johnny Rocket's space and in the building containing the Bowling Alley. Gayle and I stopped in last Saturday at the urging of our gym trainer, who happens to be Indonesian. We had previously enjoyed several Indonesian selections from the Bali Express Food Truck as earlier Yelp event. There's also another excellent Indonesian place (Tee Jay's Corner Cafe) located inside Cactus Jack's Casino in Downtown Carson. I'm hoping that this competition will raise both boats. I think they've only been open a few days, as the interior space remains sparse and with many of the previous restaurant's architecture still in place. They also share this space with Fuego Street Tacos, so it's almost like a food court selection. The owner greeted us with a big smile, helpful assistance, and some friendly chit chat about our mutual friend (Meike). At some point we'll return with Meike to help guide us through the various dishes of which we have little idea. In the meantime, Gayle ordered a Chicken Basil dish, while I chose a chicken sate. We would have preferred not to have the chicken slightly breaded, but we ate most of it anyway. The chicken leftovers (plus some coconut rice for our plates) went into a chicken stir fry we had for dinner the next night. The Satay sauce was particularly tasty, with the included cucumbers helping to moderate the 2 dish's spiciness. There was definitely more food to go around, but considering how delicious it all was, we gladly failed to finish up everything. We're hoping that the drink menu expands a bit, as right now it's a choice between water and Boba drinks. I know it's Indian, but a Mango Lassi would be great with Indonesian Cuisine. We'll definitely be back (with or without Meike) and look forward to this restaurant "start up" filling out and achieving a satisfying equilibrium. The location is a little isolated and slightly difficult to find, but I'm hoping the bowling alley and other small businesses with help with the traffic and the public opportunity to enjoy Bali Express. Note to Yelp: This review has been written on the Bali Express Food Truck page, that shows a Reno map and the Carson City address. Please consider creating a new page for the restaurant. read more

So I can tell you that they have the crispiest egg rolls or the most flavorful chow mein that you have ever had... but then again, your taste buds can explain in more depth. If you like spicy, get the Rendang. Back to the chow mein, I swear she adds like 18.3 ingredients to make it taste so good! This food truck is constantly winning awards, and guess what? They now have a restaurant in Carson! While Koming is serving up the new recipes, you can find Barry attracting the crowd with his karaoke. And it's not amateur night - he has some soul and can sing very well! If you're just looking for a good time or want your tastebuds to dance with joy, you should check out their mobile trailer or their new brick and mortar restaurant! Tell them Reggie sent you. Lastly, shame on me for this being my first review of Bali Express! Koming & Barry, my bad y'all! read more

It's a pleasant surprise that they opened the new location at Carson about 4 months ago. I tried their food last year during the Yelp event, really enjoyed it!

We were so disappointed when Johnny Rockets closed but happy to see that not just 1 food place but 2 replaced it. The space is shared with both an Indonesian good and Mexican. You do have to order in each separate areas. This reviews is for the Indonesian area. The owners are so friendly! We ordered at a kiosk but had recommendation of one of the owners, Barry. The other partner, Koming was our chef. The food arrived quickly and was served very hot. All a great portion. We did order a spicy entree and it did not disappoint! My husband is the judge and his mouth was on fire! This place is definitely worth a visit and try. Something different. read more

OMG! This place is a must go to if you have a cultured palate. We were looking to try something different and came across this. Worth the drive to Carson City and they also have a food truck that comes to Reno. When you walk in, it looks like a 50's diner setting with booths and additional seating in the back. We were greeted by the friendly owner who was also the chef. The chef's husband also came out and started serving. The dynamic duo were so friendly and conversant they made you feel like friends. For starters we ordered the tempura shrimp as well as the chicken and veggie pot stickers. For our entrees we ordered the chicken with lemon grass, shrimp with lemon grass and the pompano fish. They were served on wooden plates covered with banana leaves, totally eye-pleasing and refreshing presentation--felt like you were in a tropical island. Reminded me of when I visited my ancestral home in an island south of the Philippines where your food was placed on banana leaves laid out on the table. As for the food, we ordered them spicy. I'm a light weight when it comes to spicy, but tasted them anyway. The spicy lemon grass sauce that the chef put on the dishes was a blend of herbs and spices that made it really flavorful aside from having that kick to it. Husband said "this is what spicy should be, full of flavor, not the vinegar acid kind of spicy." As for their yellow coconut rice, loved it. You can taste the hint of coconut, turmeric and maybe lemon grass or ginger? One thing the rice wasn't was bland. I decided to order a non-spicy dish, which they have a selection of, the teriyaki beef with broccoli. I loved that they didn't use the teriyaki sauce that was overly sweet and thick. The beef was seasoned well, not too salty, not too sweet. just how I like it. Their portions were decently sized for the cost that we had to take the rest home. We were so satisfied that we will definitely be back, or find out when their food truck comes to Reno and buy their food that way. Highly recommended! read more

Wow, I just had an amazing dinner at Bali Express. The food had amazing flavors, large portions. Trust me you will love it. I had the privilege to meet the owner Berry and his lovely wife. She's the chief behind the scenes. Its located at the Carson Lanes bowling alley. While we were having dinner the owner Berry stopped by and gave us some history of how they opened the restaurant and how he met his wife. We also found out Berry can sing. And let me tell you he can sing. Ok back to the good food, it's Indonesian cuisine. Bold flavors and large quantities, fast service and family-run. So give them a try and say hi to the owners. Ps ask Berry to sing. read more

Delicious authentic Balinese/indonesian cuisine that I recently tried at food truck Friday. I was pleasantly surprised to see such a hefty portion, I was able to have two meals from this! As per the owners recommendation, I ordered the rendang plate which is a beef curry that was extremely flavorful and a bit spicy (but that's a good thing). The yellow rice was the perfect fluffy texture, and the cucumber and cabbage were refreshing between bites. Oh, and the egg. The egg!!! The marinated hard boiled egg was so delicious and definitely my favorite part of the dish. The owners and staff of this food truck are extremely kind and go out of their way to provide the best service. Now I feel like I need to go back and try every other thing on their menu. Please support this family run business and enjoy their delicious food! You won't regret it! read more

Bali Express - #1 Rendang Plate - Food Trucks Near Me - Carson City, Nevada

If you haven't tried Balinese / Indonesian food, you're missing out- and Bali Express has it down to a 'T'. While I haven't eaten at their new Carson restaurant yet, I have indulged many times at their food truck, and my taste buds may never be the same. The food is packed with flavor (and a little heat- be prepared) and the portions are generous. You can taste that everything is made fresh, and the aroma of authenticity is evident. My go-to is the Rendang: a slow cooked beef dish with vegetables and aromatic rice. The beef is tender, and you get hints of coconut milk, lemongrass, and a very exciting tingle of heat. It's not a timid dish- it will definitely remind you of its existence as you eat it- but the flavors are second to none. And... if you're really looking to turn things up to 11, ask for a side of the red sambal- a red chili paste that is the best tasting lava you will ever put in your mouth! read more

Bali Express - Beef Rendang - Food Trucks Near Me - Carson City, Nevada

A few of us visited the Food Truck Wedensday night at Cyan Park in South Reno where we discovered Bali Express serving Balinese and Indonesian cuisine. Oh my, what a great discovery. My friend and I ordered the Sate Ayam which is chicken skewers with peanut sauce and yellow coconut rice. Absolutely rich with flavor and spices. They don't skimp on the chicken or the sauce and it was a satisfying meal. The chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy tender inside. The coconut rice was the perfect complement to every bite. Our other friend ordered the Rendang - slow cooked coconut beef with a spicy egg and yellow coconut rice. She said it was excellent. I had a taste and it had a great flavor with some spicy kick. It maybe on the spicier side for some but I would definitely order that on another visit. The business is owned and run by engaged couple Barry and Koming so always love to support our neighbors here in Reno and surrounding area. We all agreed we would come back for more and hope to see them at future food truck events. read more

Great service but very disappointed in the food. I ordered takeout. Quite expensive. Ordered beef broccoli.The beef was very tough and couldn't eat it. Noodles were just ok. Most likely won't be going back. read more

Didn't like the way you place your order and pay on screen. Service was good Food was ok. We will probably go back to give a better review.

I feel bad that I didn't actually put a review out on them sooner. I was following them before they were even out serving! They got a bit of a late start last summer and jumped into a couple feed the camel events. I just knew I had to try them because I've never really had Indonesian cuisine. The first thing I got was a combo platter of sorts that had a bit of everything. And I still remember just devouring that whole plate. I stalked them here and there and had a few more items over the next handful of months. I even went out in a Reno blizzard to get some lumpia one day. You can seriously GM taste the love and effort Koming puts into her food. My recent favorite is the orange chicken (I know it's not the most unique item, but it's dang tasty!) Also more recently they've started bottling their own drinks. They've got green tea, hibiscus. Thai tea and a turmeric/tamarind drink. The hibiscus is easily my favorite (similar to a Jamaica if you've had it but better in my opinion.) second is the green tea, refreshing with some natural energy to it. The Thai tea is good, different than what most people think of Thai tea. And the Turneric/Tamarind is also good if you like those flavors. Don't miss out on these guys. They're good is exceptional. And bonus for karaoke lovers. Depending on where they're set up you might get to rock the kic, or listen to Barry throw it down . And even if you don't karaoke, these are a couple of the nicest dang people I've met in the food truck scene. read more

One of the menu items was delicious, but me and my partner couldn't eat it because of the non-requested, or described, spice level. We both eat spicy food often and love it, but the owners response was overall dismissive about my experience and feedback. I'm only leaving a review here about it because we felt unheard after directly talking with the owner. I would eat here again, and try to scrape off any excess chilies etc. as needed. read more

Great authentic Indonesian food with lots of option, including vegetarian. The flavors just explode in your mouth and the service is super friendly.

I've known Koming for years, but this was my first time getting to taste her cooking--and wow, it did not disappoint! The lemongrass fried chicken dish with yellow coconut rice is bursting with spicy, bold flavors, and my daughter couldn't get enough of her delicious savory, slightly sweet chow mein style noodles. Koming and Barry are such a radiant duo, and it's clear they pour their hearts into their food truck. The food is hands down one of the best, if not best Asian in Reno, and the warmth and passion behind it make the experience even better. Highly recommend checking out Bali Express--I wish them all the success they so deserve ! read more

Well well well. I have been watching the progress of this food truck on my facebook feed. And then they posted about being at a nearby apartment complex so we jumped in the car and headed over there. There wasn't a line at the time so I was relieved. Many times the food truck meal can be a little longer than it's really worth, but no issues here! The food came out quickly and was delicious! My wife ordered up some Lumpia and a combo plate. I ordered up the special of the evening "Rendeng" is what I think it was called. There was soooooo much food and every bite was something new and exciting. Some of the biggest and best lumpia I have ever had. I did notice that they have some wings too. And I will definitely be going back for those as well as some of the other menu offerings. read more

Great authentic Indonesian food. It took me back to Bali. Lemongrass shrimp was excellent and spicy.

This food is amazing! I mean, IT'S REALLY GOOD! And, I really like the owners. Their story is great. They started small and have built up and only been in business around one year now. They had a great Yelp elite event in the past where I first tasted their food. Here are the things that kept me from giving a full, 5-star review. They seem to have inconsistent prices that appears to change based on the location that they are serving. Additionally, the prices seem to keep going up. Granted inflation is here to stay but I have seen some dishes in the recent past at $8 and $10 that are now $10 and $15. A five dollar increase on a ten dollar dish is a 50% increase. THAT IS HUGE! In addition the portion size is not very big. I had the coconut stewed beef last night which had a few sliced veggies, and good portion of yellow rice, but a meager portion of meat. I probably got 5 small chunks of beef. $15?? C'mon, for $10 this is perfect. I'd pay it all day. But, when I saw the amount of beef I received, I was really disappointed. We also ordered the lumpia. HUGE disappointment. HUGE. $10 for 4 egg roll sized pieces. These are advertised as chicken but they contain way more carrots in them than anything else. When I see a chicken lumpia on the menu, I expect that to be the most prevalent and largest ingredient. I will not order this ever again. The chicken satay dish was tasty has heck. DELICIOUS. four decent sized satays in the super flavorful peanut sauce. I was still thinking that this should be priced at around $10-12. $15 is a bit steep for this. Overall, the food is good. If they keep the prices at the current levels and the portions the same, I probably wont come back in spite of how good it tastes. The value for the dollars:portion ratio just isnt there. I hope they make changes to a few things based on my comments as they really do have good food. 3.0 stars read more
