Asking which of the dishes were specialty of the house, I was guided to pork rice noodle or pho. Chose the pho and was soon swooning. It is all about the stock and this was just perfect, light and beefy with a beautiful breath of anise. Adding the Thai basil, lime, coriander, diced chilli and bean sprouts it was gorgeous albeit the broad rice noodles are a bit slippery. The beef was pink, delicate and generous. As pho goes, it was up among the best. My companion had the Laksa which was also exceptionally good. Not too heavy. A trace of sweetness and a tiny ting of sour. Lots of goodies in among the noodles. He said it was the best he's had. No wonder the place is doing a roaring trade.

The food came really fast and the staff were very efficient and attentive. The menu is HUGE! There is HEAPS to choose from for both meat eaters and vegetarians/vegans. The only problem you will have here is choosing what to eat, as everything sounds and looks delicious. My partner and I shared the vegan pork cold rolls and they were absolutely to die for. Fresh and with plenty of sauce! For mains, I had the basil tofu stir fry and my partner had the BBQ and crispy pork rice dish. Both of the portions were very big and the flavours were incredible. The prices are great also. Awesome value for money. We are already looking forward to going back.

I stopped in to pick up a couple of sushi rolls for lunch including Terryaki Beef and Terriaki Chicken. At $2.50 each, they were incredibly fresh and came packaged in your typical plastic sushi containers with wasabi and soy sauce fishes. The meat was incredibly nice and flavored very well, the cucumber was cut evenly and presented very nicely (sushi making is an art after all), and the sushi was also served at the right temperature too. Seating was rather nice and the store was very organized with attentive staff who served quickly yet very well. They also had menus on the counter which I decided to take a copy of. It seems like they have a nice range of food and they are open from as early as 8am to as late as 8pm on weeknights, meaning that any time can be sushi time. They also discount sushi in the evening to half price in order to clear and keep produce fresh. I will definitely be coming back for the sushi and probably will try some of the noodle dishes too because the aroma in the store was quite nice as I went at lunch time.

Sensational sushi!…read more Sushi Bar Genki is reminiscent of sushi bars in Japan with accompanying cries of "welcome" and "thank you" entering and leaving -in Japanese if course! A very comprehensive menu of sushi roll, nigiri, gunkan (yet to try), hand roll, sashimi, tapas and a la carte udon noodles. Asahi beer, sakes, plum wine & hot & cold green tea complete the full Japanese experience. Every plate tried was exceptionally fresh and the service was immediate, friendly and professional. Delightful staff guide us through the iPad ordering system and service is speedy. We are also encouraged to try freshly prepared plates from the train by our chef - a fantastic spicy tuna semi roll & the even tastier seafood deluxe jumbo roll.

Without my parents excitement at the novelty of moving sushi wooshing by our booth as we were…read moreeating, or the fact they could order whatever they wanted to eat from the iPad at our table, this place would have initially seemed like any other sushi train in Adelaide to me. You can spend hours being distracted by the iPads on the table or the seemingly family holiday photos of trips throughout Japan on the TV screens. However, it was the food that made it quickly evident why this place has deserved the 5 stars it has been receiving. I am a simple sushi slider and consistency of quality and freshness of fish is the key to a sea-mingly good meal. So here are my top picks: - Arrive between 3-6pm to start with a $5 pint of Asahi and snacks (lotus root crisps and endamame) special. - Start with an $8 plate of kingfish, tuna and salmon sashimi (chunky, tender and shiny raw fish shows signs of great quality and fresh seafood) - Salmon, kingfish and scallop ngiri should be next to add some rice to your palette - Finish up with the double zinger, super spicy hot salmon rolls (that's definitely not what they are called) but you will remember that they say they are super spicy and that without wasabi it's only a little kick to the mouth.

Dumplings!! When I heard that there was Shanghai Dumplings sold here I had to try them. I have a…read morebit of a thing for them and there are not many places around Adelaide that do them. Have you tried one before? No? Well, they are a fluffy steamed and fried dumpling with usually pork meat in the middle. The amazing thing about this type of dumpling is that it is the home of a really tasty soup broth. So, when you bite into it you get a burst of flavour. But, in saying that I should warn you, if you ever do get to try these baby's leave them to cool. Unless you want a steaming hot bath for your mouth. You have been warned. So, I ordered some Shanghai Dumplings, Fried Pork Dumplings and Steams Chinese Broccoli with garlic sauce. The Shanghai dumplings were good, but not great. I have had a lot better. The bottom was lovely and crispy, but the top of the bun had deflated and was a little more tough than what it should be. It should be more fluffy. Maybe I caught them on a bad day? I might have to try them again. The pork fried dumplings were a lot better. I liked the sort of crispy skin on the bottom. They were salty and crispy. One thing to note that was disappointing was that there was no chinese vinegar for me to use on the table. Only soy sauce and chilli oil. Which was great on the dumplings, but I prefer Chinese vinegar. I always thought that is what dumplings are traditionally served with? The steamed green veg was good. Very fresh and the sauce was not too heavy. The garlic was fresh and plentiful as well which I liked. Do not order this dish if you are on for a date. Beware garlic breath! Overall, I was not massively impressed with this restaurant. The other items on the menu looked ok. But, it seems like the dumplings are the popular item on the menu. So go for that.

Go-In Cateen is the newest addition to the china town gouger street block of chinese restaurant,…read more different than its sibling restaurant Go-In hotpot, Go-In Canteen provides a range traditional chinese cusines ranging from noodles, salads, soups to dumplings. I mainly order the dumplings to share with some friends. I didn't expect much at first from Go-In Cateen but they proved me wrong! Each set of dumplings ordered are cooked fresh, either steamed or fried, therefore there is often a wait but its worth it! My favourites are the shanghai dumping which are steamed cooked. The dumplings were cooked perfectly I though, there were bursting with juices yet retaining a solid exterior. The friend pork dumping, another favourite, is panned friend where on the bottom is cooked whilst the top is left fresh. I actually really liked this style of cooking the dumplings in relation to the usually complete frying of the dumping because it retains its fresh steam taste but had the crispiness of being fried. Overall, I would definitely be back many times, The value is just insane! When sharing the feast with a group of 3 -4 friends, the total would come to $10 tops for each and thats with about 5 sets of dumplings!
