Gin Long Canteen

Gin Long Canteen

Top choice in Adelaide


This energetic food room is a winner. Chipper staff allocate you a space at the communal tables (bookings only for six or more) and take your order pronto. The food arrives just as fast: fab curries, slow-braised Thai beef and pork, netted spring rolls, Malay curry puffs… It's a pan-Asian vibe, bolstered by jumbo bottles of Vietnamese beer and smiles all round.
