Vietnamese Street Food has been all the rage this year as we see yet another place open in the form of Vietnamese Laundry. Located on Sturt Street, the name of the establishment is based on the former use of the building, a laundromat. While it’s location in the south western corner of the city may…

Vietnamese Food On The Run
It was only a matter of time that Vietnamese street food was to be delivered from a food truck, and the appropriately named Vietnamese Food On The Run is the first to come onto the scene. The truck itself is larger than average and is not as well decked out as some of the others….
Little Chilli Padi
Little Chilli Padi is a small eatery located at the Ascot Park shopping complex. Serving Malaysian cuisine, they have a decent selection of stir fried noodles, noodle soups and curries on offer. They also have a small selection of authentic desserts as well as a full range of your typical beverages. This place is fully…
Sushi Arari
Tucked away in an alleyway, literally metres away from the beach, is Sushi Arari. Specialising in both Japanese and Korean cuisine, there is a decent selection of bento boxes, noodles, udon, salads, donburi, curries and sushi. The store itself is neat and well presented, and not particularly large, however, there are a sufficient number of…
Fresh Bites – Flinders St
Having already eaten at the other Fresh Bites store, I decided to pay the Flinders Street location a visit to see how they compared. The menu is pretty much the same with a selection of Vietnamese and Japanese influenced items on offer. Customers have the choice of bread rolls, salads, noodle salads, bento boxes and…
Long’s Kitchen
Long’s Kitchen is a small Chinese and Vietnamese eatery located on Flinders Street in the city. Only open for lunch during the week, the bain marie on one side of the cash register is dedicated to your typical Chinese takeaway dishes. The other side of the register holds all the ingredients that make up the…
Hoosegow
When a friend first told me about a place called “Hoosegow”, I thought she had made a typing mistake. Literally translated, “hoosegow” means “prisoner”. If I recall my conversation with the staff member correctly, the food is so good here, you become a “prisoner” of the food. The restaurant was actually supposed to be called…
Hanuman
Anybody that has eaten in Darwin would be familiar with the award winning Hanuman restaurant. With establishments in both Darwin and Alice Springs, it was a bit of surprise to find their Adelaide venue on the ground floor of the Chifley Hotel, on the not so vibrant South Terrace. People searching for this place should…
Lisa’s Rolls King
Lisa’s Rolls King replaces what was once a Cherry Blossom sushi store. With sushi, hot egg rolls, cold rolls, rice dishes, noodles and dumplings, the offerings are a bit better than your hole in the wall sushi store. This place has gone one better by offering a small selection of Vietnamese rolls. The decor at…
Fresh Bites – Citi Centre Arcade
Fresh Bites is one of two Vietnamese street food stores in the Adelaide CBD. The store that I visited today was in the Citi Centre Arcade which at the eastern end of Rundle Mall. While their signage says they do Vietnamese cuisine, there are a lot of Japanese influences incorporated into their menu. Customers have…
