Can't complain about this nice eatery. Great value meals as they provided a free entree and the serves were quite generous. The food seemed a bit more Chinese than Thai but it still tasted good to me! This is the type of place you come to for a quick, satisfying, affordable feed. We will definitely make this a regular haunt!

Arrived into Adelaide for a stop over. Funny thing about Adelaide the restaurants seem to close for business Sunday nights. This limits ones choice when deciding where or what too eat. Managed to get a table here at Thai Chef. Luck was on my side as the place was fully booked. Gets better by the minute as I am served up a complementary tasting plate. King Prawns Choo Chee and a Traditional Pad Thai made up my order. Food was good. Service brisk ensuing the dinner is not left wondering. If you are looking for an honest feed of Thai you won't be disappointed. Being close to the city you might even hear the church bells ringing if you listen hard enough.

I went here with my nanna, and this is her review: "We, didn't order soup, why they bring out soup? (It was complimentary). I like the spring rolls, they are nice. At markets I can't find good spring rolls. They are always frozen. I like these ones, Were they chicken? Or were the vegetables? (Chicken grandma, for the 10th time it's chicken) Soft shell Crab was too salty. Salt is bad for your health. You will die if you eat salt... STOP EATING THE SALT. (I continued to eat it) Pad Thai... She said nothing cause she was too busy eating it. Dumplings; no, no good. It's like my shoes, I don't like it. (she was wearing leather shoes)

My man and I went to dinner tonight. the restaurant was pretty busy. we ordered crispy tinted fish, sweet and acidic chicken and pad ped nudel. they are really generously served and very tasty. Chin and tinted fish were simply broken slightly so they were not so oily and too rich. every dish has really beautiful aromas and we enjoyed them all. the service was great and the staff there was nice and smiling. will come back
