Underwhelming. I feel a bit mean giving a bad review to Plant 13 when it’s evident they care so much about their food and the overall presentation of the place. Interior is very trendy but I’m just here for the food and ultimately, found it unworthy of the price tag. Not bad, just not awesome. […]
Nice!. I feel pretty cheeky coming out of this place after having an awesome spicy squid bento box for dinner and seeing the lines of people waiting to get in to Lucky Lupita’s. Lupita’s is good, but heck, there is an awesome sushi restaurant right there where you’ll be served by the cutest staff – […]
An unbiased appraisal. There is a fierce rivalry between the two cafes, Blue & White and Red & White as to who makes a better AB – a dish that depending on who you ask, could stand for either Absolutely Beautiful or ABortion. Consisting of yiros meat on a bed of hot chips and then […]
I see the word “authentic” being thrown around a lot when people talk about food. Please. Just. Stop. Unless you grew up eating the food or spent an extended amount of time in the country of that food’s provenance you’re just coming across badly. Just enjoy the food on it’s own merit. This place certainly […]
Huge servings of decent Viet food for fair prices. You could do worse. Location Prospect Road, Kilburn, Adelaide, SA
It’s okay. Servings are huge but food is meh. Shredded carrot and sweet chilli sauce on everything. Surely there are better vegetarian options than this? Location Rundle Street, City Centre, Adelaide, SA
Quality is a bit variable but mostly reliable late night feed. Not very many of those in Adelaide! Location Manchester Street, Mile End South, Adelaide, SA
Breadtop is one of those institutions that make me feel out of touch with the general public. I simply dont understand why they are so popular. Doesn’t anyone remember that the first shop in Adelaide on Grote street closed down? Now that its relocated near to bus stops, it gets convenience eaters. It’s a franchise […]
Okay now that I’ve liked this restaurant, you’re probably questioning how credible my other food recommendations are. Believe me though, this place is not inherently bad. Yes, it’s a buffet so you’re going to have to lower your expectations somewhat but if you have family or friends who are “value” orientated diners, you could do […]
LOL to the woman complaining about the lack of cold rolls. You know, Viet food is more than that and beef noodles. This place caters for ‘upper end’ Viet dining – I know I know the decor could use some work but don’t let that put you off. Especially in an Asian eatery! The prices […]
Don’t let the bad reviews put you off this place. Went there with my family on a very busy Saturday and service was fast and attentive. Food was pretty good too. Generous and flavourful. Beef ribs are awesome! Location Grote Street, City Centre, Adelaide, SA
Really really good chilli cheese naan. Would come back here just for that! Location Saint Vincent Street, Port Adelaide, Adelaide, SA
I liked this better than Burger Theory. Decent burgers, with a very extensive range of sides that makes this place worth revisiting. Location O’connell Street, North Adelaide, Adelaide, SA
Worth the wait. We arrived at 7pm and waited about an hour before getting in. Sitting down, I was so prepared to be underwhelmed, but I’m glad we stuck it out. The food was great! Sensibly priced, generous portions, different and tasty. If only the wait wasn’t so long I’d always be coming here and […]
Probably the best burger i’ve had in Adelaide. Unpretentious, good, simple food in a great setting. It’s a bit pricey I guess, but for this normally stingy diner, totally worth it. Felt so happy eating my burger while watching the traffic go by. 2 Votes for helpful Location O’connell Street, North Adelaide, Adelaide, SA
It’s pricey…. …but the creaming soda was very yummy. The spicy onion rings were also very good, but probably too salty to have by themselves. Possibly better in a burger, or with a toastie. Location Rundle Mall, City Centre, Adelaide, SA
Nice Grilled Pork Balls. My sister and I had the combination beef noodle and the vermicelli with grilled pork balls for a late 2pm lunch. Both meals were very decent and very cheap. The pho did not have a traditionally deep/rich or hearty a beef flavour as I’ve had elsewhere, but this might appeal to […]
Average. I can’t vouch for how authentic the ramen here is, but I can see how someone might not like it. I guess it’s a decent feed for the price, but it does feel like you could do better making this at home yourself. Location Leigh Street, City Centre, Adelaide, SA
Yay!!!. Finally, a stylish, clean and well served yum cha place in Adelaide. Very limited number of tables and very short opening hours (they closed at 6pm the night we went) but I think this would be a great lunch place. Sister and I managed to sneak in before closing time for pre-movie dinner and […]
Ribena drink was the highlight of my meal. I hate it when you have food and at the end, feel like you wasted your recommended daily intake of calories. Location Pulteney Street, City Centre, Adelaide, SA
Mmmm. I went here wanting to try the famous home made baked beans, but there weren’t any on the menu. Sad face. So I ended up having the “Neptune” breakfast instead: salmon & poached eggs with hollandaise sauce. Happy face! Very rich and probably very unhealthy, but very yummy. Great vibe, and great service. Worth […]
I’m not Malaysian…. …but I think the food here is pretty good. Don’t know if it’s authentic or not, but the roti was yummy (egg & onion) and the chicken curry I had was very tasty and rich. I’ve eaten at the Mamak in Sydney and I didn’t think it was any better than this. […]
Great dumplings and more. So, I think previous reviewers have established how great the dumplings here are (yes, they’re great!), but let me draw attention to the sides. Normally neglected, often nothing more than a garnish I have to say I really REALLY enjoyed the pickles, salad and cold mashed potato that my fried chicken […]
Tasty, healthy, generous and cheap. I had the $8 Al Fam chicken for lunch – grilled Maryland chicken, flat bread, garlic sauce and salad. I didn’t eat much of the salad – it was very basic consisting of 2 slices of tomato, some lettuce, purple onion and purple cabbage – but the chicken was awesome. […]
While this place serves good food, unfortunately it will be held to the same standards as similar Viet restaurants in the area. By comparison, Quan Ngon is expensive and the servings are some what miserly. The fact that you have to pay for water certainly doesn’t help it’s cause amongst the local Viets Location Pooraka
My family has started making this our Sunday lunch place after Nghi Ngan Quan became too busy. The decor here has seen better days, but dont let that put you off – the food is good, generous and cheap. Recommended! Location Grand Junction Road, Rosewater, Adelaide, SA
Let’s get two things out of the way: 1) The Viet food here is GREAT & 2) Do not order from the Chinese side of the menu. As much as it pains me to say this, it is only a little better than what you would get in a food court. Okay now that we’ve […]
Okay hand cut chips. Not to my personal liking though. Have eaten here twice and both times chips have tasted/smelt of old oil – the second time less so. I don’t want to be too negative though – still better than the average take out using frozen chips. It’s a very popular place with the […]
This place is on par with Adelaide’s stalwart yum cha restaurant Dinh Hao. Yes this means waiting a minimum of 15 minutes to get a table even if you’ve made a booking, and yes it means the ‘ambience’ is crowded and noisy. But it also means you get top notch yum cha. I judge all […]
The BBQ and general food here used to warrant tolerating the indifferent table service and spartan decor but I’ve since had too many bad experiences to ever want to go here again. They may be able to occasionally do superb BBQ but its not worth risking it for what has lately been just really fatty […]
I think this place caters to white people more than to Asians. Otherwise can’t understand why this place is so popular. Dumpling are really stodgy and the rice dishes really oily. Much better Chinese places more worthy of your patronage. Location Grote Street, City Centre, Adelaide, SA
Went there for my gran’s birthday and was really pleased with the selection at the smorgasbord – its like all you can eat pub food. Quality was above average to great and staff were very friendly and accommodating. Location Walkerville Terrace, Medindie, Adelaide, SA
Consistently good. This place is the best – way way better than the franchise bakery around the corner. Hot dog buns are awesome and my god, the beef curry puffs! Too good! Location Market Street, City Centre, Adelaide, SA
Best Pho in Adelaide. As a Viet guy, I can tell you that this is the best pho you can get in Adelaide! Don’t be fooled by those other Chinese shops around Central Market selling you their knock offs – this is what pho should be like. A bowl will cost you around the same […]
Very generous. If you have a big group of people, try the 7 courses of beef. It is recommended for 2-4 people, but I will applaud you if you actually manage to finish it as it is VERY generous and very tasty. The pho here could be better, but it’s among one of the better […]
Best fish and chips I’ve had. Lots of places claim to have the best fish and chips, but this is one place that could actually truthfully say that. On a hot day, people will wait for up to 40 minutes to get their order. That’s how good they are. These chips are not of the […]
My local Indian. Excellent service and even better food. Whenever we have a Indian food craving, this is where we go. Pretty much everything on the menu is great. Can’t go wrong! Location Main North Road, Prospect, Adelaide, SA
