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…

Lucky Vietnamese Roll – Glenelg

The owner of Yakumi, Glenelg Spices and the former Korean BBQ has changed with the times and now introduced Vietnamese street food in the form of Lucky Vietnamese Roll. Open for breakfast and lunch, the new Vietnamese section is a temporary set up at the frontage of the Japanese section of the restaurant. There are…

Kenny Wang’s

From the same owners as the Wright Street Hotel, is a new pop up bar right next to it called Kenny Wang’s. Anybody that has eaten at the hotel would be familiar with the quality of their meals, and with Kenny Wang’s modern Asian inspired small plates menu, one should expect a similar standard. From…

Sushi Q Restaurant

Adelaide certainly has it’s fair share of sushi train style eateries, and for most of them, the dishes are pretty much the same. At Sushi Q Restaurant, there are 4 coloured dishes with varying prices, but what brought me here this Sunday morning were their amazing $2 plate deals between 11am and 2pm. Other places…

In Thais Cafe & Noodle Bar

There are a handful of cafes down Jetty Road in Brighton that have a decent breakfast menu, and In Thais is one of them. Breakfast is served until 11:30am and there are just under a dozen gourmet options on offer. From midday, it changes to a Thai menu with salads, noodles, curries, stir fries and…

Red Chilli Chinese Restaurant

With Chinese food being so common and readily available, it’s very rare that you see a Chinese restaurant franchise. Specialising in spicy sichuan cuisine, this is the second restaurant franchise of this type to open up in Adelaide. Set in a heavy hard cover menu are impressive glossy photos that detail their offerings. From Sichuan…

CJ’s Kitchen

In my quest to find Adelaide’s best Vietnamese Roast Pork Roll, I find myself at CJ’s Kitchen, which is a small deli on Sturt Road in Warradale. There are 5 types of Vietnamese roll fillings, pies, pasties, sausage rolls, hot dogs, hamburgers and sandwiches on offer. CJ’s Kitchen has the look and feel of a…

Ichitaro Dining

Ichitaro Dining is a modern Japanese restaurant located on the popular King William Road cafe precinct. Japanese restaurants are traditionally expensive, but when the word “modern” is used, I think smaller well presented servings are to be expected. Like most places these days, the sharing of dishes is encouraged, and this is reflected in the…

Golden Charm Thai

Golden Charm is located on the quieter western side of the city towards the West Terrace end. There are roughly two dozen dishes to choose from with many of the classic favourites on offer. These include a selection of noodles, curries, stir fried dishes and soups. Like all good establishments, they also have a lunch…
