Sushi Train is not the cheapest option when it comes to sushi. The quality is good and the food is freshly made, so that has to be a bonus. The store on Gouger Street is always busy and there always seems to be a line up. The staff are friendly and attentive, and are happy to…

Wasai Japanese Kitchen
Located on Field Street, away from the busy Gouger Street cafe precinct, is Wasai. The quiet side street is slowly being transformed as a wave of new eateries open nearby. The venue has an open plan design and is considerably spacious. Decked out with timber floorboards and glossy dark wooden tables, this place has a…
Katsumoto
Katsumoto is a hidden gem within Adelaide Arcade. Not your typical Japanese restaurant but one for traditional home cooked meals. The place is small yet vibrant, the staff are warm and inviting, and the service was exceptional. While there isn’t a large selection to choose from on the menu, it’s not necessarily a bad thing. I…
Himalayan Kitchen
No need to climb Mt Everest for Nepalese tucker, it’s all here at the Himalayan Kitchen. Located on the northern end of Melbourne Street, this cosy little restaurant offers all your Nepalese favourites. To remind us of where we are, the place is decorated with pictures of the Himalayas. The staff are warm and inviting….
Star House
So many places to choose from when it comes to yum cha down Gouger Street. I must admit I’m a regular at the place across the road, but this place isn’t too bad either. The decor at this place is simple and the service wasn’t too bad. They have a large selection of yum cha dishes…

When my Malay friends tell me that Nanyang serves the most authentic Malaysian cuisine in Adelaide, I believe them. Located in the Renaissance Arcade, this two level cafe is always busy and the majority of their customers are Asian. The number of Asian customers in an Asian eatery is a true litmus test as to…
Tasty Thai By Meow Thai
Tasty Thai is a long rectangular store on Bank Street. It’s not the most conventional looking place, but it certainly has frontage. The decor is modern and elegant, the staff were warm and inviting, and the service was quite good. I decided to go for their Beef Curry. The vegetables were fresh and the flavours were…
Pondok Bali
For authentic Balinese cuisine, look no further than Pondok Bali. The place is decorated beautifully and it’s just like being in Bali without being in Bali. I came here after a recommendation and was pleasantly surprised. This is now my regular place for Balinese food. The staff here are warm and inviting and the service is…
Payneham Chinese Restaurant
Payneham Chinese Restaurant as you would expect is found in Payneham. The owners used to have a restaurant in the city centre and served up some pretty good yum cha. With rising rental costs, they moved their restaurant out to the suburbs and took their chefs with them. The new premises are nicely decorated and…
