Shanghai Tea House is located inside Burnside Village, and is both a Chinese restaurant and yum cha place rolled into one. The place has a modern exterior with traditional elements inside. The decor is not specifically traditional Chinese, but more of a fusion of other Asian elements. The seating cubicles that they have on one…

Knoodle Junction
Knoodle Junction is an Asian takeaway place conveniently located on Pulteney Street, right between the University of Adelaide and Rundle Mall. Due to the amount of foot traffic that goes past this place, it’s no wonder that this place is always full. Packed wall to wall with international students, this place offers a selection of…
Sushi Train – Grenfell St
I choo-choo choose you Sushi Train! The Grenfell Street Sushi Train is conveniently located right in the heart of the CBD. As this sushi train station is closest to where I work, I’m not going to miss the plates on this train because I don’t have too far to walk. This store is a bit…

Little Hanoi is a little dine in and take away store located on Pirie Street, close to the corner of King William Street. With seating for about 16 people (8 inside and 8 outside), a majority of their clientele are take away customers. Like most Vietnamese places, there are several noodle soups on offer as…
Laksa House 2
After reading the positive reviews about this place, I thought I would give this place a try. Located on the western side of Flinders Street, Laksa House 2 is a small place that holds about 26 people (20 on the inside and 6 on the outside). There’s a Laksa House 1 in the Market Plaza…
Wok In A Box – Adelaide – North Tce
Wok In A Box is an Asian take away franchise that opened over a decade ago. With over 30 stores across the country, each outlet offers a fusion of Asian cuisines. I must admit, I’ve been a bit slow on their uptake, and it was only today that I tried them for the first time….
Rose Garden Thai
Don’t judge a restaurant by its crappy decor. This rings very true, particularly for this place. The external appearance of this place reminds me of a run down crack house, while the internal is a bit more presentable. I would never have considered this place had I not read some positive reviews of the place….
Hypnothaized
Don’t be fooled by the lack of Thai people that work here! There could have been a team of Thai chefs slaving away in the kitchen, but that couldn’t be verified. Whatever the case, Hypnothaized is one of the best Thai restaurants in Adelaide. From the same team that originally opened Tongue Thai’d in Mile…
Mint Leaf
Mint Leaf is a brand new store that has just opened on Gawler Place. It’s so new that some parts of the store haven’t been completely renovated. Specialising in Vietnamese cuisine, this contemporarily decorated store seats about 50 people. The menu is not that extensive, however, I see this as a good thing as the…
Basil and Lemongrass
Basil and Lemongrass is a cafe on Prospect Road. The place offers all your traditional Thai dishes at prices that are on par with their competitors. The decor is modern and stylish, and you could easily fit 50 into this place. Tonight, we decided to go for the banquet, to get a good taste of…
