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!

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!

Great Japanese food! They make extraordinary teriyaki chicken and at such a friendly price! I have tried nearly all the Japanese restaurants in Adelaide, including the very high-end ones, never got any teriyaki chicken better than here.

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.

It was super cold outside and I thoroughly enjoyed my Steamy Karaage Ramen here yesterday. The waiter was very friendly and pleasant to talk to as well. Great place.

I was recommended by some friends to try this place as they claimed it had the best ramen ever. I was keen so I tried it out and I loved it! It’s been months since I tried their ramen for the first time and I can’t help but keep coming back to this place almost every week, sometimes twice a week. It’s so good! I highly recommend the Hakata ramen and the Tokyo ramen is just as good also. I’ve tried bits and pieces from my friends dishes like the Japanese curry and with no surprise, it all tasted fantastic. Such an amazing hidden gem in Adelaide and the staff are all lovely people.
