Like most places, they have an assortment of maki rolls, inside out rolls, nigiri and inari. Their menu also extends to a selection of rice and noodle dishes which includes curries, bento…
Tien Giang Quan
There’s a multitude of small Vietnamese eateries out in the western suburbs that I’ve yet to eat at. The first place that I run into on my journey is Tien Giang Quan which is located in a small shopping complex on Days Road in Croydon Park. With exactly 24 items on the menu, their offerings…

Vietnamese street food is all the rage around other parts of Adelaide, but in the western suburbs, it’s pretty much the norm.

Chilli Pepper Thai Cuisine
When one Thai restaurant closes, another one opens. This is true in the case of Chilli Pepper, which replaces the former Pattaya Thai as ownership changed hands. Of course, the menu still looks like your typical Thai fare with the standard entrees, salads, mains, curries, vegetables, noodles and rice dishes on offer. I was pleased…
Noodle Box – Glenelg
Still in the mood for some noodles, I paid the Noodle Box store in Glenelg a visit. Unlike their nearby competitor, this particular franchise only has 8 stores in Adelaide. The menu offerings are fewer, but there’s still a fusion of Asian cuisines. There are a total of 17 noodle dishes available in small or…
K-Bap
This year, a lot of Vietnamese eateries opened up around Adelaide, as people fell in love with the fresh, healthy ingredients of the cuisine.
