This is another little gem in the southern suburbs…read more When we first moved to this area, we were surprised to see this little restaurant as part of the Hallett Cove Shopping Centre. But we were impressed from the first time we ordered. Very friendly service, very reasonable prices, and usually you have between 10-15 minutes to pick it up. I usually go for the Kway Teow with beef ... I just can't get away from it, it's delicious! My partner usually has either the drunken noodles or the Crispy Egg Noodles with vegetables. I'm sure this is not the most authentic Vietnamese restaurant in Adelaide (I realise that Kway Teow is *not* Vietnamese!), but the food here is delicious ... and that's more important to me than the authenticity. We can have a relatively cheap takeaway meal from here, and feel that it's much more nutritious than having a burger or pizza ;) There is a small eat-in section in the restaurant too, which we have not tried - but it's usually pretty busy in there, though I don't think you'd need to book.

Wandering around looking for food. Everything in the food court in hallet cove is closed now.. So…read moreyeah.. we're about left with a couple of choices only. So between asian and western food, we went for the Asian food. Vietnamese bay. When we arrived it was still early evening, there's no one dinning in the restaurant yet. Wonder is it good? Took a while to read through the menu, the staff came out from the counter area to take our orders. I actually thought i have to order from the counter initially. We had mee goreng with vegetables and beef kway tiao. The food and drinks came shortly. We didn't have to wait long. So how's the food? I asked Wendi for her opinion on the kway tiao. She said she would rate it 7 out of 10. Her main gripe is that the portion is rather small. The taste of the rice noodles are good she said and the beef was tender. So i guess if the portion is right she might rate it higher. For me, i have the same issue too. I like the noodles, pippin hot. Slight spice and sweetness, it's a delight. There are various vegetables mixed together, a couple of each. The portion is not alot though, but i would rate it higher. I really like it. Maybe an 8? Will probably visit again in a few weeks..

I tried other dishes like Nasi goreng, Beef rib soup and Hainanese rice--my husband's favorite -- and they are consistently delicious (generous servings too). I highly recommend this Malaysian fastfood. Actually, their place and meal presentation looks highly appealing that you couldnt help but get drawn to it even just to take a quick look at their menu. If there's one thing that I dont find impressive is the customer service...many times they just look unfriendly. My husband for eg. Asked one staff if he can grab more tissues. Instead of saying a simple 'yes' (or no lol), the girl in a quite condescending tone said "it's in front of you".... Man! My hubby was silently pissed off. He even swore to himself not to eat there again. Actually we havent come back after that incident but it wasnt really intentional, we just wanted to try other restos. Sometimes he still mentions his craving for their Beef ribs and Hainanese rice. Im sure we'll eat there again in the future. Like he said we are there for the food not for the people. Lol

I didn't go the fresh cooked meal (maybe they are better) Instead I went for the Hot box option. 2 choices+ finger food on rice/noodles. the finger food option I chose was a 'smosa triangle' whish is pretty much straight out of the freezer bag and deep fried (not home made) I chose noodles - VERY average Lemongrass chicken, the taste was OK but it was overcooked and dry, the lemongrass coating looked almost burnt. last was the Beef Rendang.. NOT. it was a bland beef stew. The only thing this place had going for me was the novel serving method.

By the amount of the people that were dining in there that night, it would be safe to assume you would need to make a booking. After ordering the duck I found that it was the best choice I could have made, it was absolutely incredible, doing down well with the bowl of rice and jasmine tea that we ordered on the side. What is best of all, the prices for the meals were incredibly good for a student such as myself! I would definitely return, and would most likely chose to order the duck again. It was fantastic.

Friday night not open. :( Since my laksa plan is disrupted, I've got to find some other place to eat now. And what do you know? This restaurant is so near to where I stay, I might as well yelp it! 5 mins lateeerrrr..we arrived(one flatmate...). The restaurant is pretty big, modern settings, dimmed lightings, a long walk from the counter to the door. A look through the menu, and ah... steamboat... hmmm... okie, going for Seafood steamboat today then! hmm... small serves 1-2, but large one serves 2-4? I think large one makes better sense here. 15 mins later, by the time the food came, the place was already pretty crowded with people. The steamboat - Prawns , scallops, squids, fish cakes, vegetables, onions. Not too bad. Completely filled to the brim. Soup is pretty amazing, sweet and clear, I like it. We do feel that the food is just enough enough for 2... hmmm. just remember to order at least 2 large serve should you dine out with more than 2 pax. :)

I've left Adelaide a few times to live interstate and overseas and every time I come home, I beg my…read morefamily to take me to Sunflower. As sad as this makes me sound, I'll admit that I never change my order and I can recite it off by heart because I am absolutely besotted with the menu at this family-run establishment. We always start with their quail entree- the best in Adelaide. A flavour bomb in its own right, I'm pretty sure it's been marinated in some sort of soy, chunky lemongrass and garlic sauce before being grilled or fried to perfection. I don't know which method they cook it in and quite frankly, could not care less. A little bit of squeezed lemon and white pepper/salt seasoning on them and you'll quickly realise that half a quail will not suffice. Then onto the DIY cold rolls - sugar cane prawn and grilled pork balls. The platters come out piled with fresh herbs, pickled veggies, noodles and crushed roasted peanuts and sauces that make my tastebuds sing. A thick caramelish peanut chilli sauce and a sweet fish-sauce based sauce to dip or pour into your hand crafted cigars or goodness. You'll soon lose count of how many cold rolls you attempted to create and devour. And the mains: Beef salad, salt n pepper squid and a rice hot pot. BOOM. End of conversations at the dinner table as everyone just falls into chewing silence and nods of mutual appreciation. The salad is fragrant, fresh, and a bit tart, while the squid is deliciously crisp and perfectly tangy, the hot pot will be a textural wonderland for the tastebuds. The service is always super lovely... We have been coming here as a family for years and have seen the family owners serve us time and time again with grace and friendliness. I hope this place stays just the way it is - epically amazing!

They were quick and efficient, and got through us all in no time. Up on the wall is the menu in both English and Vietnamese. The star of the menu is of course the banh mi (Vietnamese meat roll). For under $5 you get a crispy roll, with meat and other fresh fillings. My roll didn't seem as fresh and crispy as some that I've had but it was still nice, and I would have liked to have my roll a little more full. I was seriously contemplating going back for seconds. There are two small tables to sit inside, but most people choose to grab one on the go. It's definitely popular amongst people working at the tafe, or local tradies working nearby. There is a carpark as part of the attached shopping centre.

I do enjoy Sumo Salad. This one in particular because the food court it is within seems to be the least busy out of all the others scattered around Rundle Mall. No long lines while I wait for my ruffage. The serving sizes are actually quite large and filling, as far as salads are concerned, and I often find myself eating quite a lot. From what I've encountered so far, I've only experienced decent food from this outlet, however I have heard tales of aged lettuce and the like, however as far as I'm concerned this should be taken as hearsay.

Sumo Salad also offers baguettes as an alternative to the salads but I always find the rolls to be a bit too sense and slightly stale. Poor alternatives to the nearby Subway in the food court.

The shop: Ms Chowki used to be strictly vegetarian/jain, but now does meat dishes under the name of Fennel (two restaurants under one roof, with one kitchen). Mismatched furniture from IKEA and vintage stores, bare floors and little insulation from noise, Bollywood movies and music. The drink: Wallet-friendly $1 chai in an environmentally-unfriendly styrofoam cup. The food: Consistently good food, excellent prices, extensive menu and generous serves in a shabby setting. Eating with fingers is encouraged, however cutlery is provided for those who look distressed. Renown for their dosas (crisp savoury lentil crepes served with vegetable stew and chutney) within the Adelaidean sub-continental community, however their pav bhaji (spicy vegetables in a tomato sauce served with a toasted buttered bun, raw onions and pickle) is my ultimate junk food: eaten with fingers, scaldingly hot, savoury and moreish. Their butter paneer masala is superior to most butter chicken dishes in Adelaide, with generous cubes of paneer and a sweet spicy sauce for dipping assorted naan breads. Desserts here are highly recommended by those who can appreciate Indian sweets: their housemade jalebi (funnel cakes soaked in sugar syrup) is reputedly often bought by the kilo on the weekends.
