Soonta has 3 stores within the Adelaide CBD and is one of the better known Vietnamese takeaway joints in Adelaide. I’ve eaten at their Rundle Place store before and wasn’t very impressed, however, I thought I’d give their James Place store a go to see how they fare. Their menu is simple and straight forward…

Yen Linh – Adelaide
Those that live out west in Croydon Park would be familiar with Yen Linh. Well, they’ve expanded and opened a new store on Field Street in the city. Specialising in Vietnamese cuisine, their offerings are a slightly cut down version from the parent store. The entrees have been renamed “small plates”, and there are new…
Roll’N On Bower
I’ve read good things about Roll’N on Bower, and it was my mission to have a Vietnamese roll here if I was ever in the area. The store itself is small with a handful of seats, but the place does have a warm and cosy vibe about it. The food offerings here aren’t extensive but…
Yu Feng Tai
Yu Feng Tai is a small eatery in the Renaissance Arcade food court. While many of the businesses come in the form of stalls with shared seating, this place has it’s own store with seating downstairs, upstairs and in the food court area. Their offerings include Shanghai buns and a selection of Taiwanese dishes. For…
Adelaide City Snack Bar
I recently downloaded a smartphone application called “Banh Mi Locator” which tells me all the nearest stores where I can buy Vietnamese rolls based on my current location. Looking at the list generated, I discover I haven’t visited the Adelaide City Snack Bar located further down Angus Street. The application tells me that their Roast…
Chicken Rice
Chicken Rice is a small Malaysian eatery that has opened up right in the heart of The Parade. With only 7 dishes to choose from, making a decision really isn’t that difficult. I actually prefer places with a small menu because they offer dishes that they can cook well, as opposed to a large selection…
New Taste Noodle Bar
The New Taste Noodle Bar wasn’t my first choice in lunch destination, and it was only because the place I was supposed to go to, was unexpectedly closed. Set in a complex on Frederick Road, this quaint little store offers Vietnamese, Chinese and Thai food (This should have been my warning sign right here. I…
China Chilli
With the number of Asian eateries down Gouger Street, it’s only fitting that the China Chilli restaurant opens it’s doors along this popular cafe strip. As their signage suggests, this place specialises in two things; Sichuan cuisine and hot pots. Sichuan cuisine refers to a style of Chinese food that originates from the Sichuan province…
Cherry Blossom Sushi – Henley Beach Rd
Cherry Blossom Sushi is a sushi franchise that has 7 stores across the state. One of their newer stores is located on Henley Beach Road in Torrensville. Unlike some of their other stores, this particular store is standalone and has seats for just under a dozen people. While their normal seating is practical, I found…
Matcha House
For those that don’t know, matcha (also known as maccha) is a fine powder green tea. Japanese tea ceremonies centre on the preparation, serving and drinking of matcha, however, in modern times, it’s used to flavour and dye foods. I actually came here not knowing what matcha was, but true to their name, most things…
