About Cam Wah Chinese & Vietnamese Restaurant

This unassuming Woodville Park canteen draws loyal crowds for hot, freshly fried Chinese curlers plunged straight into savory tomato wet dim sim. Run across generations, the kitchen keeps tables packed during morning rushes with tender braised duck noodle soup in deep broth and rare specialties like silver needle noodles—better known as dropped noodles. Wash it down with an iced coffee sweetened with condensed milk.

  • Signature Curler & Wet Dim Sim Combo: Piping hot house-made fried dough sticks ordered specifically to dip into rich tomato meatball broth.
  • Braised Duck Noodle Soup: Generous portions of slow-cooked duck meat falling off the bone in rich, savory broth.
  • Specialty Dropped Noodles: A rare find in Adelaide, serving traditional stir-fried silver needle dropped noodles.

  • Slow-Braised Duck Leg Noodle Soup

    Tender, fall-off-the-bone braised duck leg is served with noodles in a deeply seasoned, savory broth.

    Duck is so tender and broth is deep and meaty.
