Hot-pot is designed for people like me, arseholes who can't just order off the damned menu. There used to be a really crap sushi train place on these premises and when they shut down, Go-In Hotpot entrepreneurially set up a Hot-Pot train. You don't want to floudner when you walk in, so this is how it works. You take a seat at the train, or at one of the booths with your group of friends (in my case just one other friend). From the menu you order your choice of hot-pot base - I would recommend going for something simple like a pork broth. You wanna let the flavours of mysterious meat balls and lotus roots emerge. Then you order a selection of meat/fish plates from the menu - these (thankfully) don't go round the train. I stupidly chose the intense 'chicken and beancurd pudding' base. This was sort of like drinking a bottle of chilli oil. It wasn't bad, but I'd much prefer a lighter, clear broth. Anyway, so the waitress brings out your hotpot and sets it on a teeny-tiny little fire in front of you. Then you cook shit in it. Yeh, I know right? FUN. I would recommend going with a big group of people so you can order loads of little plates of thineys to cook in your pot. Or go with one other person, order way too much and blow a bit more cash than you intended (like I did). Advice on cooking in your hot-pot: if you're running out of broth get them to do a little top-up with hot water. If you're cooking something that might get soggy quick, like delicate chicken balls, just hold them in the bubbling hot broth, don't let them swim off. Use your second bowl as a cooling area - your soup is like Mount Vesuvius right now you don't want to try and drink it straight from the flame. Get the lotus root - that that looks like sliced potato with big holes in it. Get the egg chicken dumplings - the wrapping is made of a wafer thin omelette. Imagine that! Oh and handmade noodles - trust me.

More than once I've popped through on my way to the train, only to spend the 30 minute ride home torturing the other commuters with the delicious smells wafting out of my takeout bag. You get more bang for your buck when you eat in (the medium three curry plate with rice is HUGE and $8.90) but the atmosphere is lacking and I prefer to gorge myself in the comfort of my own home. My top selections are the dahl (can't remember what it's called but it's at the front and it's medium heat) the butter chicken, the korma, and the garlic naan!

Well, I guess the fact that it was cheap did have it's side effects. Honestly, there are much better places in Adelaide to get a good curry.

Caesars Cafe was one of those places I avoided like the plague, I went once when it was under a…read moredifferent name, and I had a "why would I bother" attitude. There were plenty of other choices, and I didn't want to waste my time here. But after a failed attempt to eat at Deep Blue Cafe down the road (they don't feed you to well when they're closed), and a quick drive around to see that most other local places are closed on a Monday night, we settled for Caesars. On top of being open on a Monday night, they also have an all you can eat pizza and pasta buffet for just $12.90. Kids eat free. It wasn't our type of thing, but a lot of people seemed to be enjoying it. Instead we picked from the specials menu, a Mediterranean lamb tasting platter and a reef and beef. Both meats were cooked perfectly, and the meals were far better than we expected, but they also didn't blow you away. With the lamb platter things like slightly too dry bread, cheap tasting olives, and an overly garlic yoghurt sauce meant that it was a perfectly nice meal, but just not something to rave about. It seems they have people in the kitchen who know their stuff, but perhaps not the best quality produce. The place itself has that real $9.90 cafe feel. It actually wouldn't have seemed out of place with a giant kids playground A la Wiggley Worms or Play and Fun. But it's a great place for families. There's plenty of room so you're not all squished together, and if the kids end up making a bit of extra noise no body really minds. One of the fun things to do is try and spot the famous faces morphed onto the gladiator mural they have along one all. So far ones we've spotted include Tom Hanks, David Duchovney, Osama Bin Laden (seriously), and a possible Mark Twain. Caesars is nothing special, but it won't be the worst meal you've had, in fact it might actually be quite nice.

They then told me to call the office to speak to Tony, the manager, which I did. I left a message with the office for Tony to call back and have received no response.

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.

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?

I love oysters, but I have to say that Metro Oyster Bar did not meet my expectations. For some reason, their oysters were really salty-- far too salty for my liking, which may have been what they were going for, but I was not a fan. One of the waiters seemed quite reluctant to serve us, like he hated his job, but the other one was friendly, attentive, and joked around with us quite a bit. I quite enjoyed her as our server. There isn't much more I can say about this place other than how I felt it was completely average. The prices were a little on the higher end (which is, of course, to be expected), the servers are 50/50 (you may get one who hates their job and seems reluctant to serve you, but you also may get one who loves interacting with people), and the food is pretty average.

We follow the traditional cooking method and cope with same standard as our Samurai Teppanyaki restaurant. The only philosophy we believe is that quality freshly cooked food is all you want for quick meal and also affordable. Like our Samurai Teppnayaki house, the concept was simply to create a convenient site that is mainly serving Okonomiyaki and Japanese snack selections, which are based on fresh cooking and traditional taste. What is Okonomiyaki? It is Japanese Pizza cooked on the grill. Our Samurai Okonomiyaki is based on lots of shredded cabbage with light crepe batter and topped with choice of bacon, chicken, seafood, beef and vegetable; finished with traditional Okonomiyaki sauce and Japanese mayonnaise and presented with shredded seaweed, bonito fish flake, red ginger and green onion.

Slightly salty but not too salty, lovely and savoury, with a sweet BBQ sauce to complement the bacon & onion. There was an almost pickled or vinegary flavour in there, which I believe was from the carrot. It was an interesting sensation of flavours. Seaweed, carrot, egg, onion, bacon, flour pancake, & a few other things that I'm probably forgetting. You can also opt for a chicken Okonomiyaki, seafood, beef, veggie, or even have half n half of 2 different flavours. I think give this a go... Especially anyone who's adventurous or loves savoury. You can wash it down with a hot ginger tea, soft drink, or miso soup.
