Contemporary Japanese Deli

Best Japanese restaurant in Adelaide CBD! It's not fast food, you won't get your meal within 2 minutes after ordering. But trust me your wait will be worth it. Every dish is made by the chef and tastes great. I highly recommend the Bento Box, you can choose from chicken or beef, with salad, fruit and rice, can't wait to eat it again!

The Contemporary Japanese Deli is a small, unpretentious, but charming place in a hideaway location. Took me right back to a humble neighbourhood cafe in Tokyo, especially with the friendly and polite service. Tried the hamburg curry, which also came with some miso soup and bought a $2.50 can of Japanese cafe-au-lait. Curry did not disappoint at all, just wanted more of it! Must come back again to explore more of their authentic and reasonably priced menu.

Contemporary Japanese Deli is tucked away in a small arcade and is tiny but has great food. My go to is ramen but the udon noodles are great as are the bento boxes. Friendly service and great value.

I have my occasional lunch here on a business day. Love this family run joint serving some great Japanese meals. My favourite is the teriyaki chicken bento box. Highly recommended!

What a great one stop shop for all your lunch needs! Has a diverse range in menu items at a very affordable price. The vibe is very back street Japanese and the business is family owned! The staff were lovely and very friendly. Started lunch with the Kitsune hot sweet tare sauce, beautifully presented and ate amazingly, the udon was delightful. Next was the pork katsu curry and pork katsu ramen, both were delicious. The pork katsu was super crunchy and fresh, the curry had a deep flavour with a hint of spice. My only criticism is my noodles were slightly over cooked. The photo of the curry was taken after I’d started eating Great vibe! Great lunch stop!

Had Tokyo Ramen, it was good. The broth was tasty and went very well with the ingredients. The guys were very polite and helpful. Would visit again for other dishes.

The staff who work there are seriously so kind and polite and to top it off, it's the best ramen I've ever had! My new lunch spot for sure, can't wait to try the curries and bento boxes!Food: 5/5

I have eaten here several times now and am always so impressed with the quality of the food and the friendly service. Today I had a yakiniku beef bento box and my husband had tonkatsu ramen and both were absolutely delicious. Thank you!

My friends and I regularly come here for lunch especially after classes in uni. While it's a hotspot during lunch hour, it's for good reason! The food is fantastic and really authentic- my favourite dishes are the Katsu Ramen, Katsu Curry and Takoyaki octopus balls and the owners are very sweet and kind people! I really enjoy eating here when I'm stopping by Rundle Mall.

Beautiful authentic ramen at prices more akin to what you can get in Japan. Flavour is excellent and the portion size just nice. Very friendly service and clean small place. Just wish this place was more accessible! Perfect if you work in the city or nearby.
