Once every couple of months, my wife and i visit this cafe down at Moonta street. I'm not too sure…read moreif this is a Malaysian restaurant or not, but based on what but you get on the menu, the Chicken rice, Fried Kway tiao, Hor fun, Mee goreng etc. Yup, common Malaysian/Singaporean food. My guess shouldn't be far off lah. Here, you have to order your food at the counter first before you will be issued with a table number. Most tables are small round table for 4. A server will come and confirm your order again before they prepare your food. Oh yeah, before you go to your seats, get your utensils and condiments by the side of the counter near the entrance. So far, we have tried Laksa, Hokkien noodles, Kway tiao and Hainanese Chicken rice. Okie, YMMV, but this is what I think of each so far: Laksa - a bit watery, I like my laksa soup to be more thicker, more coconut milk in it etc. Hokkien noodles- I feel it's a bit dry. I don't like it one bit. Kway tiao - We ordered this twice I remembered. The first time it's wonderful, flavor, saltiness(by the way I don't like my food to be salty) etc wonderful combination. However, the second time, was awful, half the kway tiao was found stucked together, that means, the soy sauce failed to mix properly etc, thus affecting the overall taste. Bugger. Chicken rice - They actually gives a generous amount of chicken for a $8.50 meal. Comes with a soup and rice. Overall, I'm quite fond of the place. Reasonably cheap price, short wait time etc. Will try other choices next time, haha..

I am not a fan of those serve yourself options, with masses of deep fried meat and sugar syrup sauces. I want something that is cooked fresh and with skill. Chinatown Café offers a great selection of healthy simple dishes that are really worth trying. Particularly they are famous for the Hainanese Chicken Rice. You can have either the breast or leg fillets. Also with a side of Asian Greens and clear chicken broth. I have tried a lot of versions around the Market, but they by far do it the best. The sauce is perfectly balanced with salty soy flavour without being overpowering. I would also recommend trying their Singapore Chicken Curry, which is simple, sweet and wholesome. If you are a bit of a curry wuss and a fan of milder versions, this curry is for you. It is not hot, it is all about the cumin and coriander seed flavours. Also, they make a mean Mee Goreng and Kway Teow both packed with fresh prawns, noodles, greens, fish cakes, and shredded chicken and pork. Please note this is what Mee Goreng should taste like. Don't bother with the packet versions; try this one with fresh noodles, tomato and veggies. It is so much better and has no MSG crap, it does not need it. Best part about Chinatown Café is the shear speed in the delivery of your meals and turn over of tables. They pump through the customers so do not be afraid if you see a line. You will get a seat pretty quickly and your meal to follow soon after. Don't forget to get yourself a serving of the two chilli sauces near the cutlery at the front of the store, they go great with your rice and to give your meal that extra kick!

Yen Linh is famed locally for excellent Viet food, not limited only to pho and Viet sandwiches, and…read moreI confirm the rumours. Clearly fresh ingredients, excellent presentation, good value, fair prices, clean interior design, and swift service all round out the experience. As always, the food first: I've had pho everywhere with the high expectation of clear broth, true natural quality, no artificial anything to masque its natural flavor, super fresh sprouts and lime and mint (not basil) leaves on the side, freshly cut beef, al-dente noodles, and perfectly clean wares. Yen Linh met all traits. I especially appreciated the speed with which it comes out because the timely freshness from putting the beef into the hot just boiling broth is a key determinant in pho's goodness. Carry-out pho is a serious no-no unless all ingredients are separately packaged which is wastefully unenvironmental, so always have it in-house. Competitive Viet restaurants abound nearby but I found Yen Linh first upon recommend so I stay. Alcohol is available, an assortment of Western and Eastern beers. Interior design is sparse with simple tables and chairs, namely the thinner laminate kind, but no worries. Next time I'll report on the sandwiches and fried goods, another major realm of Viet cuisine in Adelaide to say nothing about the menu's many seafood dishes. Service is quick and attentive with the whole family of presumably one related to the owner chipping into make it all work quickly. While I went at non-peak hours intra-day, they act quickly enough to be confident in their handling evening rush. Didn't use restrooms or ask for other amenities like high chair, booster seat, etc. Billing is customary, no cash only rules, TV is there as background accompaniment. Neighbors are typical suburbaney strip mall-like handling, parking is easy afront mere meters from the door, and carry-out is available for all items.

TiP: Massive menu-something for everyone…read more We went here for dinner to meet friends who drive across town once a month just to enjoy the great food at this hidden gem in Croydon Park. Tucked into the back corner of the parking lot next to an Asian grocery, it's easy to find if you know it's there. Decor is, well...unpretentious (you can ignore the "Paris" screen in the corner too). Dress is as casual as you want to be. Service is fast-both order taking and food delivery. Dishes are brought out as they are ready but our table of four all got their mains within 3-4 minutes of the first one being served. Every dish has a fresh, crisp, made-for-you taste and you can find the layers of flavour in each dish--this food hasn't been sitting in a steam table all night developing "mono-taste." Some items are marked spicy--tangy is probably a better word. However there is plenty of hot sauce at the table to flame it up a notch or two. Prices are VERY reasonable-mains are mostly in the less than $15 range and serves are available as small, large, and extra-large. Trust me and go with large unless you are enormously hungry. Yen Linh is highly recommended for great food and service. You can pay more, but you won't eat better. Eat, drink and be merry--but not too much! JD

Over the past three years I have been a regular diner at this family run restaurant…read more Kevin Ponniah and his wife Tanny have been very welcoming every time I visited their restaurant - and it was too many to count! This authentic Thai restaurant has a great casual atmosphere which is enhanced by the friendly team of attentive waiting staff. The menu is well balanced and gives the customer great choices of authentic Thai dishes ranging from wok stir fries, noodle dishes and salads to traditional curries. The entrees I have tried are all exceptional - Pandan Chicken, Spring Rolls, Dim Sims, Thai Fish Cakes and Money Bags. I recommend you try the Pandan Chicken for its amazing flavour of spices. The Money Bags were also a pleasant surprise - especially as these are normally not a favourite of mine. The main dishes I have sampled were absolutely the best in Adelaide! I absolutely loved the Masaman Beef Curry and wish I could find one as good as this in Sydney. I highly recommend that you try this on your next visit. Other dishes to definitely try are the Thai Basil Chicken (Hot), Thai Garlic Prawns and Pud Thai Tu Noodles. In Thais' signature dish is the Moreton Bay Bugs - tails tossed with fresh vegetables in their own special Thai chilli sauce. The sumptuous and delicately flavoured Moreton Bay Bug tails were cooked perfectly and presented in ready to eat bite sized portions. No need for you to get your fingers dirty here. The flesh falls away from the shell easily and is sautéed with all the exotic flavours of the special chilli sauce. This is mixed with various vegetables. My favourite cold main is the Thai Spinach salad - perfect for those hot Adelaide Summer nights. Desserts - I always craved the Banana Fritters with the delicious caramel sauce. Sometimes this was not always available to my disappointment, but if you are able to sample it, do try it for yourself! , the sauce melts Otherwise I always opted for a Caramel Pecan muffin. When lightly heated the sauce oozes nicely over the cake. Yummy! The restaurant also opens for breakfast from 8:30am to11:30am with many breakfast options. I tried the Thai Omelette, which was a great breakfast choice. Newly added choices that I want to try are Smoked Norwegian Salmon, French Brioche Toast or the Pan Fried Duck Eggs. I really miss not being able to pop down to In Thais since moving to Sydney, but I can't wait to come back to your wonderful restaurant when next I am in Adelaide.

I have to admit that it was not what I expected. When I think of pho restaurant I tend to think of places where you grab a quick, and cheap, bite to eat and the restaurant itself is nothing flash, however I was quite surprised when I stepped in through the door - it looked as if I had entered some high class restaurant. As such I hesitatingly looked at the menu and discovered that despite it's appearances it was still a place to grab a cheap bite to eat, so I sat down and ordered some pho. It was pretty good, and the staff were really nice as well, though I should warn you that they have a minimum card purchase of $20.00 so make sure you bring cash.

Omfg!! This place…read moreis my new home. Love love love. Cannot even think of any other word to describe this place. I was reluctant to start with as some reviews had said it was hard to order as a lot of the wait staff were hard up on English which usually doesn't bother me at all but with some really random menu items I didn't want to chance it. BUT I thought hey lets dive on it and by heck I am glad we did. It was just two of us so we ordered a split soup of chicken and sweet corn and laksa. The laksa had amazing flavour and I could've just had it as is, but we got some fried tofu, cabbage, bok choy, garlic chicken, enoki mushrooms, prawn ball and handmade noodles. You get to get any amount of condiments from the wall of condiments all the chili items were hot on my list and were amazing. They constantly refill your soups when they start to get low which if you are person who needs to eat everything in front of you, you will fail because it never ends. I realised I would've probably just been happy with a vego selection without the garlic chicken because it was epically garlicky and did change the flavour of the soups. Ordering was easy and we were able to get takeaway containers which was so good because the amount of items they give you is more than plentiful. This place is to die for and I will definitely be returning again and again and again especially in winter!! Take me back now!! So happy!

The lamb was good but the beef and probably were chewy in my opinion. For the soup base we got mala spicy, beef soup, tomato soup and lamb soup. The spicy one is very spicy so be aware.

You can either choose between your own individual pot or a shared bigger pot. For two people it was about 70 total but when coming with 4 it was about 40 per head.
