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

With a name like Dumplings R Us, you damn well better be good at whatever the "X" is before "R Us."…read more Because you're kinda pigeonholing yourself there, sport. And sadly, Dumplings R Us is found wanting. Their dumpers are kinda claggy, and dished up with all the care and attention of someone without any care or attention whatsoever. I got the dumplings in chilli broth . . . which wasn't so much chilli broth as it was chicken stock with a squirt of chilli oil in. The oil was sitting on the top in globs like it had just been squeezed in three seconds ago. (Which it had been). Wasn't even mixed in. C'mon now DRU. You're not even trying now. How hard is it to screw up dumplings, eh? EH?

A last minute decision led a friend and I to Dumplings R Us. I'll start off by saying I thought…read morethere was decent value for money. A friend and I both ordered dumplings (one chicken, one pork) in chilli broth, and were honestly impressed with the size. I could barely get through all mine, but bravely managed to do so. The dumplings were good, though nothing particularly special. The chilli broth was also quite flavorsome and I have to say, I did enjoy the meal! It came out pretty quickly too. However, service perhaps could have been a little better, though it was still plenty hospitable. The staff were friendly and greeted us with menus immediately after entering. The only reason I say it could have been better is that when our meals arrived, the waiter didn't notify us which meal contained which meat, and left abruptly so we couldnt really ask. This led to me eating most of my friend's dumplings (he ordered pork) before we realised! The decor was pretty nice, and the shop is conveniently located on Rundle St. It wasn't too loud inside either. Dumplings R Us is nothing special, but if you're in the city and find yourself hungry, it's not a bad place to hit up, especially with a pretty decent value for money.

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... There is a big selection of meals for $10 or under for lunch or dinner - basic dishes with rice and you won't leave hungry! The serves are absolutely massive too! 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!

The waiter doesn't look like he would like to b there, nevertheless he might as well do his job. Not sure if his English is that fluent but he understood enough when I requested an extra pair of chopsticks n a spoon. Now to the food, they claim to have this special 'cross bridge' noodles soup but it is similar to the Vietnamese 'pho soup'. After all the yunnan province is adjacent to vietnam. The soup was flavoursome but my companion doesn't think it is authentic, oh well, the noodles are similar to this spaghetti but slippery. I wished there were more vegetables but only spring onions n coriander are the only greens. The plate of meat consisted of thinly sliced raw pork, cooked pork, a prawn, quail egg, a slice of preserved pork, a square piece of squid, couple slices of raw fish n fish cake. The veg plate had a handful of bean sprouts, carrots, dried mushroom, preserved veg, seaweed, bean curd sheet, peanuts, spring onion n coriander. There's even instruction how to combine all the ingredients to the piping hot soup before you tuck in. We ordered the spicy sour sweet potato glass noodles soup, take heed of the 3 chilies rating, it was hot! Simple dish dressed with peanuts n few leaves of bok choy, am glad we had the small bowl, wouldn't b able finish it. I would like to come back to try the dry noodles but there's no hurry.

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!

I realise now that for the past four or so years, I've been misnaming this restaurant - we've…read morealways known it as Princes Room. Regardless of the name, the food is just downright good here - the menu features all the favourites, chicken & cashew, beef & black bean sauce, honey king prawns, etc, but also some deeper dishes, kung po chicken (lashings of whole flamed chilli's) and kway teo (my favourite flat rice noodles with a thick black sauce) Decor is also classical chinese restaurant - huge fish tanks featuring gigantic goldfish swimming back and forth, red and gold trim abounds, and you can have a nice big table with a lazy susan to help share your dishes around. It's worth noting that even when the house is quite empty, there is a steady trade in takeaway - it's pretty clear Prince Room is one of the more popular chinese offerings in Campbelltown. Parking is a little tight on a busy night - there's off street parking out back, turn left just past the building, but it does get full and can be a pain to turn a big car around in - luckily the side streets aren't permit only like so many in the city, so you'll be able to park and take a stroll back. I love the food here - it's simple cuisine, but they do what they do so, so well. Crispy duck is full of flavour, and like it should be, crispy. Sizzling platters turn up sizzling like they should. Singapore noodles are rich and rewarding and the curry flavour doesn't overpower the dishes you eat them with. The batter on the honey king prawns is light and crisp and the honey is sweet and glossy again without being too much. Prince Room offers you a sample of exactly how chinese should be done - and the pricing reflects excellent value for food this good.

This is my new favourite Chinese restaurant. I've schemed and searched around Adelaide but…read morestruggled to find much quality around the eastern suburbs area. Prince Room is spacious and can seat a decent number of guests. The design and the fittings of this place may seem a tab bit dated, but they've done well with being decorative with pictures on the walls and ceiling hangings. I go here every so often. Once a month at least for dinner with a group. One of my favourite dishes is the satay chicken dish. The chicken always tastes fresh and not chewy and over-cooked, and the sauce is amazing. On the menu its described as spicy, but it's actually more so mild. I would also never go by the Lemon Chicken or Honey Chicken dish. They're served with crispy chicken breast drizzled with the perfectly done sauce. When banqueting with a group although, as well as ordering rice, ordering a side or 2 of steamed vegetables may be ideal as a lot of the dishes don't seem to come with vegetables.
