Thai By 3 Monkeys

Yet another Thai restaurant in North Adelaide! Located close to the beginning of O’Connell Street, this Thai restaurant offers all your traditional favourites. The place is quite cosy and the decor is a mish mash of second hand furniture. The service is good and the prices are quite reasonable. They even have little chilli’s on…

Mapo

I used to go to Mapo for their Korean Barbecue. It used to be amazing because they had a wide range of marinated meats and Korean vegetables, and the use of charcoal in the cooking process added so much flavour to the food. Then they started taking things off the buffet menu to the point…

Eastern Garden Chinese Restaurant

Located on Greenhill Road, the exterior of the restaurant is similar to a traditional Chinese building. The inside is also traditional and the place was very clean. The staff were warm and inviting and the service was exceptional. I ordered my usual yum cha favourites and was pleasantly surprised. The squid was fresh in my…

Sushi Train – Gouger St

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…

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…

Nanyang Cafe

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…
