An Exquisite Culinary Adventure at Gin Long Canteen ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I recently had the pleasure of dining at Gin Long restaurant in North Adelaide, and let me just say, it was an absolute delight from start to finish! From the warm and inviting ambiance to the impeccable service, this place truly exceeded all my expectations. Let's dive right into the star of the show - the food! The lobster slider was a succulent masterpiece. The tender lobster perfectly complemented the soft, buttery bun, creating a heavenly combination of flavors. It was an elegant twist on a classic dish and left me craving more! Next up, the lamb ribs. Oh my goodness, these were simply divine! The meat was incredibly tender, practically falling off the bone, and the sticky, sweet glaze added a delightful burst of flavor. Each bite was a tantalizing journey to flavor town! The pork belly salad was a true work of art. The crispy, melt-in-your-mouth pork belly paired wonderfully with the fresh greens and zesty dressing. It was a perfect balance of textures and flavors that left me feeling satisfied and energized. The pomegranate chicken was a revelation. The succulent chicken pieces were cooked to perfection, and the tangy pomegranate glaze added a delightful twist. It was a harmonious blend of sweet and savory that left my taste buds dancing in joy. Now, let's talk about the curry soft shell crab. This dish was a revelation! The crab was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, perfectly complemented by the aromatic curry sauce. The flavors were bold, yet well-balanced, showcasing the culinary expertise of the chefs at Gin Long. Lastly, the coconut rice was the ideal accompaniment to the incredible array of flavors on offer. Fragrant, fluffy, and with just the right hint of coconut, it provided the perfect base for the dishes and elevated the entire dining experience. The overall dining experience at Gin Long was nothing short of exceptional. The attention to detail, the impeccable flavors, and the warm hospitality of the staff made it a truly memorable evening. Whether you're looking for a romantic dinner or a gathering with friends, Gin Long is the place to be! I highly recommend Gin Long restaurant to anyone seeking an unforgettable culinary adventure. Book a table, sit back, and prepare your taste buds for a delightful journey. You won't be disappointed! Happy dining, Bryan Pereyo

I’ve been here a few times and I always enjoy my meal, the portion sizes are super decent so pretty good value for money. The food has really good flavours, especially the curries and the dressing on the coconut chicken salad.

First thing first, I need to applause for their great service, staffs were 💯 friendly and served with smile. The environment is nice and fancy, not too noisy and the music was at the acceptable volume. Food was delicious, have to say that we love the lamb ribs! It was really tasty and tender, a mixed of sourly and sweet. The roast pork and green beans was good too. However, the fried barramundi was just Okay, lacking some tastes. But overall great experience.

A staple favourite that we know is gonna do us no wrong. Have been here so many many times, but each time we’ll never not get the: 🍛 Duck Curry 🍚 Coconut rice 🦑 Green Rice Squid 🌽 Corn Ribs Have tried most of the menu, with one time the banana blossom chicken salad being dry… but the team were quick to amend it and fix the issue. Some other dishes are not very memorable such as the salt and pepper tofu salad and grilled pork belly entree. Other standouts are the gin long wings and spring rolls. Great cocktails and drinks list on offer - a true Adelaide favourite!

Amazing food. Full of flavour and a good variety to choose from. The portions were smaller than expected, the sides helped do the job! Great vibes and date-location. The only thing is it was very loud inside. Business was booming and the place was packed. Definitely would recommend, be sure to book on advance.

The place was really busy, yet the staff still gave fantastic service from the moment we walked in. I had the prawn dumplings to start and the Laksa style broth they come in was amazing. I could have enjoyed a main size. My fiance and I then shared the pomegranate chicken and the wok tossed pepper wagyu. Both were delicious, though the wagyu was my favourite of the night. Highly recommend.

Everyone is kind. Inside there is a great vibe with music and funky colours. Cocktail bar included. Toilets are clean. The food is delicious more on the sweet side though. We ordered five serves of rice but it came in a bowl that looked like the same bowl we got the first time we came for a serve of three. Definitely recommend the ribs, they are delicious also the soft shell crab.
