No.1 Chinese BBQ is located within a small group of eateries towards the southern end of Field Street just off busy Gouger Street. For any place that calls themselves number one, the expectations are certainly high and it was time to put them to the test. As their name suggests, skewered meats and vegetables are…

Thai Chef – Revisit
With so many restaurants and cafes in Adelaide, and the constant flow of new ones opening, one can get away with not visiting the same place twice. Of course, if my last dining experience was a memorable positive experience, there is really no hesitation with a revisit. That’s how I feel with Thai Chef. As…
Da Won Waffle & Coffee
Da Won is a small cafe located on a side street in Hindmarsh. Literally translated from Korean it means “Tea House” but also has a double meaning in a different Asian language. While the name of this place promotes coffee and waffles, I think the items of interest on their menu are their homestyle Korean…
The Family Bakery
There’s definitely a lack of Vietnamese roll shops along the beach side suburbs, however, if you’re down the Henley Beach way, The Family Bakery has all your bases covered. It’s only natural that a Vietnamese bakery progresses into selling meat filled Vietnamese rolls because they’re already making the bread. Of course, if you’re feeling like…
Electra House – Launch Party
Adelaide Food Central was invited to the launch party of Electra House. All food and drinks were provided free of charge. Like many of the side streets around the Adelaide CBD, our main thoroughfare, King William Street, is also being revitalised. Electra House is set in an early 1900’s building and has undergone a $10…
Jing Thai
Jing Thai is located in a small shopping complex just off Morphett Road in Morphettville. Run by a Chinese couple, the menu not surprisingly a mixture of Chinese and Thai dishes. Their offerings are divided into entrees, soups, curries and your various proteins. The shop is very small and can only accommodate for 8 people….
Casuarina Malaysian Bistro
Casuarina is located on the first floor of Westfield Marion at the base of the cinemas. This place has been here for well over a decade so I imagine they must be doing something right. If you come here at lunchtime, you only get to see the lunchtime menu which is divided into noodle, rice…
Tara Restaurant
Tara is a restaurant located on Melbourne Street serving up internationally inspired, wholesome, fresh, organic, gluten-free meals. They also have a much smaller presence at The Marketshed on Holland every Sunday morning. On this particular morning, they have two Filipino street food dishes and an Indian mango lassi. At Tara, it’s all about holistic nutrition…
Umi Sushi – Glenelg
Umi Sushi is a franchise that started back in 2006 with a handful of stores both here in South Australia and New South Wales. The Glenelg store is located inside the Bayside Village Shopping Centre, and with it’s small open plan kitchen area, it offers just over a dozen seats for customers to dine in….
MP3 Cafe
I must admit I was a bit reluctant about visiting MP3 due to the number of negative reviews. My past experience also suggests that a place that does “international” cuisine usually produces average food all round. Anyway, the only to find out whether this place was any good was to actually go there myself, albeit…
