You don’t see many Korean stores in food courts, particularly in the heart of the CBD. Gochuzang bucks this trend by providing authentic cuisine in the Renaissance Arcade food court. The store offers 15 dishes and half a dozen vegetarian options which are variations of the available dishes. Today, I ordered the Sizzling Stone Beef Bibimbap….

Asian Taste Lunch Express
You don’t normally see the same cuisine offered twice in the same food court. Asian taste is one of the two stores in the Renaissance Arcade offering Vietnamese cuisine, albeit with a different menu. Competing with Zen Kitchen nearby, this store offers your traditional noodle soups, rice dishes and bread rolls. Located in a food court,…
Ajisen Ramen – Leigh St
Ajisen Ramen is a franchise ramen store that first opened it’s doors in Adelaide on Leigh Street. They have an extensive menu and also offer bento boxes and rice dishes. The store on Leigh Street is small and the decor is simple traditional Japanese. The staff here are friendly and attentive. Today, I ordered the Tonkatsu…
Thanh Thanh
The owners of Thanh Thanh used to own a store out in the Western suburbs. To cater for a wider market, it was probably a wise decision to open a shop in the city. Located on Field Street, just outside the Central Markets, Thanh Thanh offers all your traditional Vietnamese dishes. The decor at this store…
Noodle Kingdom
Noodle Kingdom isn’t the nicest place I’ve seen. When we were going to our table, I noticed grease marks on one of the chairs I was about to sit at. I then decided to sit at the table next to it and that chair had even more grease marks. I knew it was going to…
Matsuri
Matsuri has to be one of the best Japanese restaurants in Adelaide. Located on the first floor of a three storey building on Gouger Street, this place offers all your traditional Japanese fare. Diners have the choice of sitting at a small bar, normal dining tables or on the floor. With the restaurant decked out…
Danny’s Thai Bistro
Located on the Parade, Danny’s Thai Bistro offers all your traditional Thai dishes. The decor is modern with framed newspaper cutouts on one section of the wall to indicate how good this place is. The staff were friendly and inviting, however the service was quite slow, particularly during busy periods. Tonight, a group of us…
Mum’s Kimbab
Looking for a new place to eat, I stumbled onto Mum’s Kimbab located in the Market Plaza food court in the Central Markets. This little takeaway store offers around a dozen of your favourite Korean dishes. Today I ordered their Beef Bulgogi. As I paid, the cashier spoke to the cook in Japanese so I…
Amarin Thai
Yet another Thai restaurant in North Adelaide. Located just off O’Connell Street, this cosy little restaurant is great for romantic evenings. When I booked a table for two, the staff were thoughtful enough to give us the best seats in the house, the seats next to the french window at the front. The subtle breeze…
Cafe Kowloon
Cafe Kowloon is not my favourite place for yum cha, but sometimes you feel like the same stuff but at a different place. Before coming here, we booked about half an hour earlier and it was quite easy to get a table. Upon entering, the staff were friendly and attentive, and the table we were at…
