Review Asian Gourmet Restaurant

They have Simple and classic Asian dishes, prices were ok, laksa was $15 (Singapore) and seafood ($17) the portion is v small compared to other laksa places but it was tasty. Kuey chow was spicy (asked for mild) and was good. Both came out very fast. Cant comment on service as I didn’t order but apparently they added a surcharge for no reason??? 📸: @deelycious_

Very down to earth, no frills eatery that can quickly send out a meal on your limited time lunch break. A stalwart of the markets

Ohhh! Asian Gourmet in the Adelaide Central Market. Now living thousands of miles away, but an obligatory stop every time I visit! The standard hasn't changed in the 40 years I've been going there. It's dowdy decor does nothing to detract from the amazing food. I'm so delighted it's still there.

One thing is consistent with this place - the ever shrinking serving sizes and the grumpy lady at the counter. The rendang lacked the salt that the laksa had too much of. Even with the tiny serving sizes we couldn’t finish our dishes. If you want authentic Asian food, you’d have more luck at the food court and you save some money too.

An institution in the central markets. There are a few dishes to try, but Laksa is the staple. Delicious, comes with a little sambal on top. The real deal.

Very delicious laksa noodle. Thank you for your service :)

The food is the only reason you go here. And it’s worth it. Laksa is one of the best I’ve had in SA with the exception of Roll On Bower. Staff are pleasant and to the point (you came here to eat, not have an intellectual conversation, right?) Prices are reasonable based on quality and portion size. Will be coming back again for sure.

Laksa here is yummy even though it’s used to be a bit better

Worst Hianese Chicken Rice I've had, first time at Asian Gourmet, very disappointing. Chicken was dry and felt microwaved, no spring onion sauce. Asked if I wanted chilli on the side, assuming a take away container I said yes to find the chilli on the rice and it had permeated all of the rice when I arrived home. Absolute rubbish.

Asian Gourmet has been in the same place serving the same food for years and never has a spare table because the food is amazing! The laksa is definitely the go-to dish here and bowls are constantly coming out of the kitchen. The broth has got a lot of love in it and is really full flavoured.

This place hasn’t changed one bit since I first starting coming here many years ago. The food is made fresh because there’s such high turnover of patrons enjoying the amazing fare on offer. I love their kwey teow and laksa. Nothing fancy, just good tasty food done well. There can be a big t of a wait for a table at times but be patient, it’s worth it.

They say that some things aren't meant to change and in a world of seemingly constant change, it's nice to sometimes revert back to what you know. Creature comforts are important - they make us feel at home and well comfortable. And nothing could be more comforting than tucking into your favorite dish in your old home town....

DOOF!

Been walking past this place like every week at the market. Wasn't a satisfying meal. Spring rolls are great but the chow mien felt like something I'd buy at a shopping mall food court. Could've been better.

Always excellent. Best Laksa in Adelaide by a long way. Worth waiting in line for. Try the Kway Teow as that is also very well made and tasty for such a simple dish.

Consumers are spoilt for choice when it comes to Asian food in Chinatown. With so many Asian cafes and restaurants down the Gouger Street cafe precinct, as well as a number of international food courts, it can be a hard decision deciding what to have. One such business that has been around for a while is Asian Gourmet which is located on the western side of the Adelaide Central Markets, at one of the entrances into Chinatown. The menu is a standard size with rice and noodle dishes, curries, vegetarian dishes and dishes separated by protein.

This place is hands down the dirtiest most grossest place PLEASE for your health sakes DO NOT GO! Meals are waaay over priced. You are better off going to the food court in the central markets. My prawns were $15 and tasted overly bland. When I spoke to the manager / owner she was extremely rude and abrupt. The prawns were soggy and slimy. I didn't even eat them. The next day I was violently ill. I noticed the kitchen was a mess I hope when inspectors come they realise asap how bad it is. I will be contacting the council of the filth in that place

Lunchtime on a Tuesday with a mate. I like the simple choices on the menu. Ordering pretty matter of fact service and found a seat, with the table wiped clean soon after seating! Busy place so its about speed. Thai curry chicken for me and it was yummo. Tender and moist chicken, generous portions of mushrooms, with the sauce soaking well through the rice. Curry, curry, curry meant warmth in the belly. Generous serving which is fair for the $11.50 price. II'll be back another day!

Chicken Hokkien Mee. Best noodles in Adelaide!

Magical Laksas. "This secret laksa recipe has been passed down for at least one generation, and its magical healing properties are well known; making Adelaide the laksa capital of Adelaide. You get a laksa, and you get a laksa...everyone gets a laksa!!" - Oprah, 2014. There was a laksa under every chair, and ol' Winfrey caused a riot. Without a doubt, the best, most addictive, and unique laksa I have ever laksa'd.

A visit to the central markets & to Asian Gourmet, the decor is a plastic themed & service is not top notch but who cares when the food is absolutely delicious, affordable & generous portions.

Well now..... I remember going here about 20 years ago and thinking that this was about as exotic as food could possibly get in Adelaide... Going here made you feel as if you were being a bit daring. Went there recently and thought it was sort of tired, still doing the same stuff and yes, still doing it well, but no longer the bees knees. For starters laksa and Hokien mee are hardly exotic any more and there are plenty of other players - even in the market surrounds - who are doing it as well or better. Wander into the "new" food court and there you are. And the novelty of dealing with the fearsome lady at the counter could wear thin very quickly.

Josie

The best. The absolute best laksa in Adelaide. You haven't visited the Central Market until you have been here and had a laksa.....a true icon indeed.

Din

Best laksa anywhere. These people have the best laksa anywhere. Fridays they also have a fantastic Sarawak laksa. Other great dishes are their pad thai and beef rendang and nonya chicken. Totally worth it, even if Doreen is a bit grumpy.

Staff very nice, Ower very very very RUDE

An absolute classic. Asian Gourmet has been here for decades and there's really no guessing why once you sit down to eat - it's cheap, it's quick and it's the best laksa and kway teow I've found in the markets, so possibly Adelaide! Other dishes on the menu, such as Nonya chicken, have been recommended by others but I've never been able to get passed the combo laksa or kway teow. Well worth the (short) wait for a table if necessary. Not fine dining but 9/10 for excellent hawker food. Very highly recommended.

Try the Hokkien Me!. I've been coming to this place since I was a little boy. Don't come for service, don't come for the cutlery - come for the food. Always fast, never expensive and always tasty.

Not a bad first introduction to laska. I experienced my first ever laksa today after a friend recommended the Chicken Laksa from Asian Gourmet. I don't do well with hot and spicy food so I ordered it without chilli paste. I have to say that even without the chilli paste I found it a bit hot! It came up to $9.50 which I thought was reasonable. It was a good portion size and I felt very full afterwards however I wasn't as "wow'd" as my friend said I would be. It was still nice, but I don't think I'll try my next laksa there.

Cheap and delicious. The place to eat on a Friday night in the Central Market. A restaurant that lacks in variety, but makes up for it in excellence. The classic Malaysian dishes shine, whilst the venue buzzes with that Market atmosphere that we all know and love. A perfect location, and a simple, and delectable menu makes Asian Gourmet a must try restaurant. The standout dishes include Singapore Laksa, Hokkien Mee, Nonya Chicken, and Chicken Rice. The consistency, and efficiency of the staff is refreshing and being family owned the staff are familiar with many of the regular patrons. The only downfall of Asian Gourmet is the takeaway service. The meals that are prepared for the takeaway containers and for home re-heating are not put together with as much care and this is noticeable and re-occurant. A word of advice is to not bother ordering to take out, it is worth waiting for a table and Asian Gourmet is an establishment that offers quick and convenient eating. Very affordable and addictive.

No South Australian food experience is complete without a trip to the Adelaide Central Markets, or what I refer to as, foodie heaven.

New love: a classic eating spot in the Adelaide Central Market called Asian Gourmet. This place has been a family run, Adelaide institution for over 35 years. We were a bit late to the party, but now we're hooked. You can find Asian Gourmet inside the markets directly across from Camera House. They're open 6 days (closed Sundays) opening at 9:30 or 10:30am each day. Closing times vary from 3-5pm depending on the day and they stay open on Friday nights until 9pm. Seating is available both inside and outside the shop. The signature dish at Asian Gourmet is the Singapore Laksa ($9.50). The lime green bowl looks quite small, but it comes packed full of goodness - prawns, fried tofu, shredded chicken, bean sprouts, coconut cream, egg noodles and more. It's bigger than it looks and sure to satisfy. I haven't found a better laksa anywhere else in Adelaide. Beware though that the standard amount of chili is on the hot side so some may wish to ask for mild. It's hard to go past the Singapore La
