Overview
Gin Long Canteen brings the energy and excitement of Southeast Asian street food to the heart of North Adelaide. Set in a funky, industrial-style space filled with neon signage, eclectic furniture, and thumping beats, the restaurant delivers a contemporary twist on Vietnamese and pan-Asian flavours that are as vibrant as the décor.
The menu is built around sharing, with a lineup of fresh, flavourful dishes that range from the cult-favourite chicken ribs with sriracha mayo to caramelised pork belly, fragrant pho, and zesty green papaya salad. Each dish is designed to balance sweet, salty, sour, and umami notes, giving diners a full-on flavour experience with every bite. Vegans and vegetarians will also find plenty of options, with tofu, mushroom, and plant-based takes on traditional street food.
The drinks menu is equally lively, showcasing a bold selection of house cocktails featuring Asian ingredients — think yuzu, lychee, lemongrass, and Thai basil — alongside sake, local wines, and imported Asian beers. The vibe is casual and fun, but with excellent service and a sense of polish.
Popular with the after-work crowd, couples, and groups celebrating over good food and better drinks, Gin Long Canteen is more than just a meal — it’s a party on a plate. Be sure to book ahead, especially on weekends, as tables fill fast.
