I’ve been coming here for over 20 years. I find it hard to go past the laksa. It’s the only place I have laksa. Others just disappoint.
Have also had curry chicken, Hokkien noodles, Singapore noodles and my kids LOVE the chicken rice.
Cheap and cheerful. Order, sit, eat and get out. This is not a place to have a lazy catch up lunch.
It’s wonderful.
Great place for lunch. Unlicensed
Usually very busy
Can`t beat the Hainanese Chicken with greens for lunch.
Excellent value, spice it up to your own taste with the light or dark chili.
Quick service.
Recommended.
IS WITH THE OPENING HOURS??? I need my chicken rice all the time. You could easily walk past this place 100 times, and never even notice it. But you should. The hianese chicken rice with laksa broth is deadly good. $9.50 for delicious goodness that doesn't do bad things to your waist line!
$10 for Hainanese chicken rice (remember to order specifically with Laksa broth) is an absolute bargain and fantastically fresh and delicious. An institution.
Great vegetarian laksa! Lots of veggies, made vegan if you have rice noodles instead of hokkein noodles. Friendly staff and cheap food. Can get busy during lunch and they don't except eftpos. Recommend and will return!
Great food, super cheap, friendly and helpful staff. The vegetarian laksa has plenty of greenery and noodles. It's already vegan, too! I love the chilli station - it saves me from asking for extra chilli as I can add as much as I want.
Another scorcher of a day and I wanted something that was quick, fuss free and of course delicious. So we headed to the place that we believe makes the best Chicken Rice in Adelaide. Don’t expect all the bells and whistles at this place, you go in, place your order before you sit down and they allocate you a table, then within a few minutes your food is out. It’s worth coming here for their signature meal, Chicken Rice.
Fast and good value. Fast service and good value for a quick lunchtime bite. One of my work lunch regulars!
Great meal everytime. I love this place. Its great value for money, its always quick and I love the consistency of the food.
Reallly crappy customer service, but food is great, fast to serve and cheap. I like to come here before doing my food shopping in the markets because they are fast!
We shared a Laksa and it was probably one of the best ones we’ve had. Absolutely delicious and super quick to come out.
First time visiting in 2 years. Prices are still very reasonable. The laksa is meant to be the best in Adelaide, though I tried other things today. The curry chicken was tender and well proportioned. The wonton noodles were delicious and flavourful. As usual, their sauce station delivered great flavours to complement the meals. The staff were friendly and smiling, definitely brought value to the experience. Absolutely worth a visit, just note that they close around 4pm.
Amazing Laksa it’s the best in Adelaide IMO, and their Curry Chicken and Rice is unique and delicious. In fact most of their dishes are great, with efficient and fast service. Love this place…
The Hainanese Chicken Rice (with laksa broth) at Chinatown Cafe is by far the best in Adelaide. At $16.50 it's quite pricey for a casual lunch - but still worth it.
The Hainanese Chicken with Laksa broth and Asian Greens is a staple in our family. The very best we have found in Adelaide. We have been eating here for decades. The women who runs the restaurant is lovely, it is simple but delicious food served with a smile. Perfect for a Friday night take-away or Saturday lunch.
One of the best value for money eats in Adelaide. A visit to Chinatown always includes a stop off to have lunch here. Hainanese Chicken, Kway Teow and my favourite menu item, Laksa. All food is served quick and packed full of flavour. @cwade_creative
Food place to hangout with lots of different shops with many different things on sale. Competitive prices and lots of verity. Also lots of good places to eat and drink ranging in prices. Can get a coffee or tea or something to eat in a formal or casual setting.
I love Chinatown Cafe. They are the number one place for laksa in Adelaide. You won't find a better balanced or tastier coconut broth around. Staff are always quick and efficient too
