Viet Menu – Noarlunga

When I first found out that Viet Menu was located inside the food court at Colonnades Shopping Centre, I was probably a bit skeptical as to how good this place could be. There’s a common perception that food from a food court is of average quality at best, and I must admit, I’ve had a…

Tien Giang Quan

There’s a multitude of small Vietnamese eateries out in the western suburbs that I’ve yet to eat at. The first place that I run into on my journey is Tien Giang Quan which is located in a small shopping complex on Days Road in Croydon Park. With exactly 24 items on the menu, their offerings…

Tasty Bud Cafe

There’s a fair number of Vietnamese eateries opening around the city at the moment, and Tasty Bud Cafe is one of the latest to open it’s doors. Located on Gawler Place, on the former site of Mama Pierogi, the cafe offers home style Vietnamese dishes, Vietnamese rolls, snacks and sweets. The cafe is family run…

It’s a popular street dish that first originated in North Vietnam in the early 20th century. It was only until 1930 that Pho was served with beef cooked rare (Pho Tai), and then…

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…

Love Pho

Love Pho is located in the Myer Centre food court. They’re a small food outlet that offers some of the more popular Vietnamese dishes. Today, I ordered a bowl of their Beef Noodle Soup. Noodles were well cooked but their broth lacked depth in flavour. The meat was on the conservative side, and so was…

Moodle

What was once the former location of the Sugar Bowl is now a Taiwanese noodle place called Moodle. The decor here is basic with good use of contrasting colours. The arrangement of various items on the left corner of the room reminded me of a neatly assembled scrap heap of unwanted items. The service here…

Adelaide Pho

Adelaide Pho is located in a building that was once my internet service provider. Now a Vietnamese restaurant, it specialises in Beef Noodle Soup as well as other traditional Vietnamese dishes. The decor is basic and the place could seat about 50 people. The atmosphere is relaxed and the service is pretty good. Today, I ordered…

Vietnam Kitchen

Vietnamese restaurants are plentiful in the Western suburbs, but few and far between in the city. Located on Pulteney Street at the South Terrace end is a cosy little restaurant called the Vietnam Kitchen. The place is decorated nicely and offers all your traditional Vietnamese dishes. The staff are warm and inviting, and the service was…
