Best Asian Food Restaurants in Queenstown

"One of Adelaide's oldest and longest standing teppanyaki restaurants located in the heart of the InterContinental Hotel is Shiki. Do not let their age deceive you, their skill and talent when plating up authentic dishes in front of your eyes is stellar. This award winning restaurant uses their culinary mastery to serve up plates like tropical lobster tail with herb butter and local or tosaka and wakame seaweed salad."

"Adelaide's longest running teppanyaki restaurant, located in the InterContinental Shiki boasts a sleek dining room with open teppanyaki stations in the middle. Their extensive offering doesn't end at teppanyaki dishes but also sushi and sashimi. Watch exquisite chef's serve up award winning dishes in front of your eyes that are elegant and full flavoured."

"The location (a former Irish pub) is slightly incongruous but the food is lip-smackingly good every time. Lunchtime yum-cha is very popular (you’ll need a booking on weekends) but the a la carte also offer high points: notably the Peking duck with pancakes, Szechuan lamb and wide array of seafood dishes, including Moreton Bay bug tails and steamed Murray cod. It also boosts a standout wine list, too."

"From the outside, Citi Zen still looks like the Irish pub that used to occupy the building before the Chinese restaurant moved in a few years back — but on the inside, there’s no mistaking the elegant red decor and dimly lit chandeliers. The massive 350-seat restaurant specialises in Cantonese cuisine, while lunchtime yum cha is popular, too."

"Across the road from Ding Hao, Star House is another of Adelaide’s premier yum cha destinations. Authentic, honest and excellent value, come here during the week to order from the more than 90 options. On weekends, choose one of three sitting times and be decisive: items are whisked off the trolleys faster than you can say dim sum."

"Get your yum cha fix at Star House, where you can choose from a printed menu of 90 dishes midweek, or enjoy the traditional trolley service on weekends. Stock up on plump Har Gow dumplings and Dried Yam Puffs. 31 Gouger St, Adelaide"

"Ten minutes from the city in Frewville on your way to the Adelaide Hills, Singapore House had me weak at the knees. Their salt and vinegar eggplant, beef rendang, crispy soft shell crab and roti canai will likely produce the same reaction on you as well. Make a booking so you’re not disappointed."

"Spend a few hushed hours in the vaulted, parquetry-floored gallery that represents the big names in Australian art. Permanent exhibitions include Australian, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, Asian, European and North American art (20 bronze Rodins!). Progressive visiting exhibitions occupy the basement. There are free guided tours (11am and 2pm daily) and lunchtime talks (12.30pm every day except Tuesday). There's a lovely cafe out the back too."

"Located at the entrance of The Art Galley of South Australia is the 6 metre high Life of Stars Sculpture. Both during the day and the night the sculpture looks incredible and is great to photograph."

"Southwest Contemporary has that Instagrammable neon sign and a sleek interior. It’s a small, minimalist exhibition space with only five projects per year, and is dedicated to exhibiting artists whose work isn’t getting recognition elsewhere. The practise is edgy, experimental, and curated by two seasoned artists who wanted a gallery space with the freedom and liberty to display the art and artists they wanted to show."

"BMGART specialise in contemporary Australian art, including paintings, sculpture, ceramics, glass and prints. You can expect stunning contemporary art, from Christopher Orchard, Jasper Knight, Jason Cordero, Marijana Tadic, Daniel Connell, Kari Bienert, Bundit Puangthong and Margaret Ambridge. This gallery has a beautiful industrial and airy feel, and when entering you immediately feel at ease."
