Oanh Kitchen Restaurant

My colleague and I were a little surprised to find this place empty when we arrived at 7pm on a wet Thursday night. However, the lady approached us immediately we entered and suggested we sit under the heater, which certainly was welcomed. Perusing the menu, most of the standard Chinese, Vietnamese and Thai type of dishes one would expect were there, but some staples were also missing. Surprised to see Moreton Bay Bugs but didn't try them. We ordered Chicken Sweetcorn Soup and Satays for starters. The soup was pretty average - gluggy, dark yellow like it had colouring in it, and had peas in it - never seen this before. The satays were lovely. For main course, my colleague had beef in black bean which he was very happy with, and special fried rice which he found to be spot on. I ordered a spicy seafood hot plate, and it was awesome. The ingredients are served on your hot plate at the table, so they cook in front of you, and of course stay hot longer. The wine list was pathetic for a Barossa Valley restaurant, but I found a good one. I suggest BYO with $10 corkage for serious wine people, and maybe that is what they are expecting from customers. The decor was fresh and appropriate and the service was very good. We both felt the meals were a little overpriced, but that may be because of recent price rises for ingredients. Overall: Service - 4 Value - 4 Food - 4 Presentation - 4 Overall - 4

Really nice food, restaurant trying to establish itself, decor a little rough, popular with lots of choices. 27/07/22 Had their Quail entree, very nice indeed!
