As far as I can tell this is a Ghost kitchen that exists for home delivery services. It's in a Backstreet of an light industrial area where at least at tea time there are absolutely no other businesses competing for the limitless car parking available. They appear to be a family business with several generations at work. They are working furiously to fill orders despite my little family being the only people in there. The food is quite good. I had 2 very delicious spring rolls a main course and a drink for $28. That's about average for a far more comfortable walk in restaurant but it's not expensive just a little more than I thought it would be. Like many of these places seating is a mixture of a not very comfortable bench bolted to the wall and quite possibly home made and those tiny steel backless stools that are probably popular in countries where people are a little smaller than us. It was nice having the place to ourselves a n d not having to yell or have to sit close to other people and it's reasonably well ventilated, I didn't see a toilet. All up it's in line with a lot of these tiny asion style shops but with a little more variety and a little more expensive and no more comfortable. But the almost secret location makes it attractive to us and you could always wait in the car and have takeaway instead because there are no other cars you can park right out the front.

Wow.... I did not expect such great food from such a small little shop hidden away in a corner. Talk about finding a hidden treasure. I came upon it after friends raved about their experience and are walking their way through the menu list. I had the Beef Basil, Spicy korean pork thingy and chicken karaage. All three were so good, I polished off the sauce with the garnish.... if I was alone, I'd probably also lock the bowl clean... great service that does plenty of takeaways and conveniently located on South Road on the same side of Pet Stock (opposite the dog wash area). Their chicken karaage was surprisingly oil free and super crispy. Moist in the centre. But I got to say my favourite was the Basil Beef.... or the Spicy Pork dish.... ahhhhhhj.... they were all good. Will be back to try the rest of the menu. Ok... its 10pm now... I'm still thinking of the Chicken Karrage... I don't know why.... thats saying something particularly when KFC is just a few shops away from this gastronomic palace.

Ordered through UBER eats and am writing this review as a Korean who has had Korean dishes for his entire life. I ordered a "Bulgogi Beef Bowl" because I thought it was actually a "stew" with bulgogi beef at the center of it. Even though the dish description was ambiguous, I bought it as RnB Cafe was advertised as a Korean Japanese fusion restaurant and had made some fusion bowl. The dish that I got was indeed not "bulgogi beef bowl" but another korean dish called "japchae", a CHEAP SIDE DISH that is sold in Korea/provided for free. Here it was sold for $17. It is a "beef" dish that does not have much beef at all. It is a sweet potato noodle dish. Lastly, the rice I received was old, stale, and hard and did not even fill the container it came with. The portions were small. The dish was wrongly advertised. The rice was not fresh AT ALL. WILL NOT PURCHASE FROM THIS PLACE AGAIN.

  • Vindy Alyssa

Ordered bulgogi bento box via DoorDash but it only came just bulgogi as a main dish, without rice, spring rolls, and side veggies just like on description. I called the restaurant but the lady said I ordered the main dish only, not bento box since I didn’t write any special instructions. She insisted that I ordered the main dish, while my receipt shown bento box. Well, it’s your responsibility to fix your menu options on DoorDash, you can’t expect every customer to write if they want bento box meanwhile you have bento box option on menu. Now I don’t know how to eat just main dish without any rice at home. Thanks, you just ruined my dinner.

  • Luke Selfe (Lukey)

Really nice food!! We had one of their menu's dropped in our letter box and I'm glad they did. I have lived around the are for a few years and never seen of heard about this place. I had Singapore noodles and they were great and my partner loved her vegetarian dish too. The vegetarian fried rice was delicious too. We will be going back again definitely. Highly recommend checking this place out. It is a bit off the main road but Google maps will get you there :) enjoy

  • I_quacker_I

We placed a large order to feed visiting family for dinner and RnB gave us an honest time for when the order would be ready, happy to wait we then received a call to advise the order was ready for collection. This was prepared well ahead of the advised time. Every part of the order was amazing, from the sauces, entre items and mains. Each item received glowing feedback. Thank you RnB for the fantastic service and quality food. Highly recommended, such a hidden gem.

  • Di

Can't recommend highly enough. I only discovered Koi about a year ago. It's a small cafe and the owners are super people. I've eaten in for lunch many times (with family, friends and grandkids), but mostly I order evening meals to be delivered. I am never disappointed! All the dishes are generous, delicious, freshly made and cooked daily. It really doesn't get better than this.

My partner and I stopped for dinner on a weekday evening. The dining area is comfortable and cozy and the overall appearance of the place was clean and well cared for. The menu has a good variety of dishes and the lunch menu appeared to have amazing values! We ordered chicken teriyaki and chicken yangnyeom with a bowl of rice. The food came out hot, fresh, and delicious. The service was friendly and efficient. We will definitely be back many more times.

  • Anthony Cabrera

Tried other korean bbqs and most of these the food has been sitting out and taste bland. I now regret trying the others and would love to go back to this little cafe! They cook the food for you and serve it to you on a hot sizzling plate. Atmosphere is lovely and the staff are really friendly as in talkative friendly, not fake customer smile friendly. They also have delivery thanks to UberEats, and I am thinking of trying their food at home!

  • Naz Bee

Delicious food. Awesome service. We have eaten here many times and never have we had a bad experience. Tonight R n B stepped it up even more...we placed a phoned order, went to pick up our family meal, left the dipping sauces behind...oops we had not realised...they rang to tell us and then they delivered them to our door. We can not recommend them enough...only wish i could give them 10 stars!!

  • Jessica Ng

Their chicken and seafood laksa are the best laksa i had in Adelaide. The laksa gravy are very flavoursome and super delicious. Our favourite food. Also had beef bulgogi and jeyuk pork, very yummy. Lots of vegetables which balances with the spiciness and meat. Owners are very friendly too. Overall, this restaurant we would highly recommend for their food and services

  • Kiall Beasley

Can't fault this place! Amazing people, great food, and the best customer service. The owner is such a beautiful person, I can't even begin to describe how she goes beyond to make her customers happy. Teriyaki, dumplings, banh mi, bento, bibimbap, fried chicken, EVERYTHING IS GREAT and value for money also ++++ Would recommend 15/10

  • Ivan B

As a driver who lives on the road, I found Koi Cafe by accident, pulled in to be amazed by there fresh Asian food. I have now made Koi cafe a regular stop. Besides the food, the staff really bring Koi Cafe to life with such a great personality that makes you feel welcomed. I wish Koi Cafe all the best for there future.

  • hugo maiolo

A Hidden Gem, this place serves up amazing Korean food that taste delicious. The staff are so friendly and accommodating to orders, and the service is quick. Dine in or takeaway, the food is consistent every time. Don't let the location deter you, definitely worth a try. They are open for lunch and dinner.

  • Andrew Boey

Affordable $10 bento lunch boxes serving japanese and korean food. Karaage chicken is my favourite, crispy and tender on the inside. Food is cooked fresh when you order it. Dining in is a little cramp but bento boxes makes it easy to take away for a meal in the park or the office.

  • Jemma McConnell

We thought we would give this place a go and we're so so glad we did. Food was amazing and ready to pick up quickly. The service was also fantastic. The people working at R and B are so friendly and welcoming! We'll definitely be back for round two soon. Again the food was 10/10.

  • Matthew Martin

Great little hidden gem. I’ve had lunch here before and take away dinner tonight. Very tasty Bibimbap but gluten free Pad Thai was a bit bland. Looking forward to trying more. Easy to make phone order, friendly & polite staff. Unique indoor /outdoor setting to eat in. Recommend

  • Dylan Saunders

Over priced!!!!! Small portions!!!! Paid $30 odd bucks for a main, drink and delivery. I’d say the meal was hardly the size of a starter. Still hungry as. Very disappointed. Do not recommend if you expect to be full and to not feel ripped off. Money hungry grubs. Avoid!!!!!

  • Nicole

This place is awesome, the food is so fresh and delicious, the prices are great, the owners are super friendly and very accommodating, they will literally change anything on their menu to your liking if they can, would highly reccomend this place …

  • J T

Great little place with super friendly staff who always greet you and say farewell. The food is Korean and Japanese, with the prices very reasonable and the portions excellent. They also sell Dr Pepper which is always a plus for me. We will definitely be back!
