If you're looking for an alternative to fish and chips from the local, but still want to eat…read moreseafood in a crumbed, battered or grilled form, Louca's is for you. An award winning seafood restaurant on popular Hutt Street, Louca's shows you the fish filleted and prepped to go sitting next to the bar, focussing on fresh produce with bare flavours letting the seafood sing. A small establishment it's best to book ahead unless you want to sit outside or come in early. Staff are attentive, helpful and chatty and the wine list is excellent with a decent beer selection. Louca's isn't too pricey compared to other eateries and the platters are decadent. The seafood here isn't fancy, its just great produce cooked simply in a nice setting. Good for a few mates who want to do something fancier than fish and chips at the pup or from the takeaway.

There are some imported barra's and other fish on the menu but I'd stick with what you know is spectacular in your own back yard. What was nice though is that you could go from a simple "fish and chips" up to a grilled atlantic salmon or seafood platter for 2 with oysters etc. We dined on prawns, salt and pepper squid, mussels and kingfish. The prawns were a bit tough but had a nice charcoal grilled flavour and the salt and pepper squid came in huge slices that were very well seasoned and succulent. The highlight of the menu was the tomato broth mussels. A huge pot came out and we proceeded to suck all the juices and meat from each well cooked shell. All meals were perfect for sharing and it was all complemented well by a simple SA wine list. The service was nice, but a little busy at the time and overall we were impressed with the cost of our meal for the quality of the dishes - good seafood ain't cheap people! On a side note, I don't quite understand why all seafood restaurants look the same - white tiles, white tables, white kitchen/bar? As Neale Whittaker from The Block would put it - "it feels 90s and dated." I look forward to the day when someone in Adelaide does it a little differently.

The food is mainly the Japanese version of tapas, meat and vegetables on skewers, but there are also some yummie vegetable gioza and unagi and salmon dishes on a bed of rice. We tend to order 3-4 dishes per person and share. As mentioned by other reviewers, they have also an excellent selection of sake. This doesn't make it a cheap dining experience (hence 4 out of 5 from me), but that won't stop us from becoming regulars! Hint: when you finish with them the skewers go in a little jar on your table!

The food is excellent, there's a fantastic selection of vegan/vegetarian plates (although the vegan options are not listed) and great cocktails and desserts.

You are also given some different condiments to make your own Gyoza sauce (soy sauce, chilli oil, ground sesame and minced garlic) and you can come up with some really tasty combinations. I highly recommend the Cauliflower Karaage, the Wafu Steak and the Miso Rice Balls!

The food is always of an amazing standard, so tasty and super affordable. 15 dumplings for $8.90 yes please! A much better alternate than lining up for yingas...

So definitely try sharing some dishes but you'll only need a couple. Literally just one or two! Our fav is soup number 92 - a lanzhao beef soup. Salty but delish! Grab a beer or iced coffee for a drink. They have a full bar! Highly recommend. See you there!

Dumpling King is no fine dining, nor is it even really much of a cafe. It is a cheap eat with generous portions, incredibly student friendly. Chinese tea is free, unlimited. Their fried pork dumplings are juicy and tasty. I love having them with vinegar and their house chilli which is available on every table. The other dish I almost always order is Dan Dan Noodles which is a very spicy Sichuan pork mince mix served over noodles. It's spicy and lipsmackingly delicious. Our other two favourites are the beef noodle soup and Pork Chop with Egg Noodles. The pork chop and beef are always tender and both soup bases are full of flavour. Pork Chop and Egg is probably my favourite out of the two because I get a braised egg (I'm a sucker for braised eggs).
