Vietnam Gourmet

I’ve driven past Vietnam Gourmet on many occasions and their small sign board specifying that they have lunch specials has always kept me interested. Today, I thought I’d check them out. Upon arriving, I was pleased to find they have plenty of car parking at the rear of the building, although it is shared with…

Jin’s Bibimbar

For those that aren’t familiar with Korean food, bibimbap is a signature dish which literally means “mixed rice”. The dish is served with warm white rice, sauteed and seasoned vegetables and Korean chilli pepper paste (gochuzhang), soy sauce or a bean paste (doenjang). A raw or fried egg and sliced beef are added and then…

Artip Thai

There’s a stretch of road further down south on Goodwood Road that is slowly becoming a bit of a food hub. Amongst all the shops and eateries is a small take away store, Artip Thai. It offers all your traditional Thai favourites which are free of MSG and preservatives. The number of dishes on offer…

Soonta – Waymouth St

Out of the three Soonta stores, this particular one on Waymouth Street seems to be the most popular. Everytime I’ve walked past, there’s always a line 10 people long. Like their other stores, there’s a selection of Vietnamese rolls, salad bowls, noodle bowls, cold rolls and spring rolls to choose from. For lunch, I ordered…

Tanapa Thai

Tanapa Thai is located close to the centre of the Jetty Street cafe precinct in Glenelg. With so many signs around, this place can be easily missed. Like every other Thai place, they offer all your traditional favourites, although the selling point that won me over, were their lunch time specials. Certain parts of this…

Top 25 Roast Pork Banh Mi

At Adelaide Food Central, we do love our Roast Pork Banh Mi. With new stores popping up all the time, it’s difficult to try every single place in Adelaide, however, I have done my best. I also understand that there isn’t a single place that can consistently produce a great Vietnamese roll, so experiences may…

KKY Vietnamese Meat Rolls

Vietnamese street food is all the craze at the moment with yet another new store opening on the outskirts of the city. Located in a small complex amongst other shops and eateries is KKY Vietnamese Meat Rolls. This quaint little store is neat and well presented with everything shiny and new. Seating is limited with…

Samurai Teppanyaki

For those that know nothing about Japanese food, teppanyaki is a style of Japanese cuisine that utilises a hot iron plate to cook food. “Teppan” literally translated from Japanese means “iron plate”, while “yaki” means “grilled”, “broiled” or “pan fried”. There aren’t too many Japanese restaurants in Adelaide that do Teppanyaki, and the only one…

Sit Lo

As someone who eats out quite often, I see a lot of trends in the food industry. Last year, burger joints and dessert bars were quite popular, while this year there are eateries with Latin American influences and Vietnamese street food. Sit Lo is located on the new revitalised Bank Street and is the lastest…

Yummy Banh Mi

With the rising popularity of Vietnamese rolls in Adelaide, it just wouldn’t be right if there wasn’t a local store down Semaphore Road. Located close to the beach, Yummy Banh Mi is situated amongst popular pubs, cafes and restaurants. As their name suggests, Vietnamese meat rolls are their specialty with 8 types of filling to…
