GOLDEN BOY REVIEWS

One of THE best meals I have ever eaten! I've traveled to a lot of different countries and have eaten at a lot of restaurants. This meal was amazing! My husband and I picked 3 items and the waiter took over with the rest! We tried so many delicious appetizers and ended the meal with a dessert so good I told my husband that I would dare anyone to try to get between me and that dessert! I would travel from the United States back to Adelaide just to eat here again!! Loved the green chicken curry, the whitefish sashimi, marinated wagyu beef appetizer, betel leaf with ocean trout, marinated pork "pancakes"---amazing! Im not sure what the name of the dessert they chose for us was but wow!!!! Everything was delicious so you can't go wrong on any of it! It ended up being an experience and not just a meal!!! Make reservations!!

The feed me menu is great value. The dishes are so fresh and delicious! We have visited a few times, with our last visit being for our anniversary. The atmosphere is inviting and the staff are all very friendly and helpful. Special mention to Riccardo for helping us select the dishes. We cannot fault anything about this restaurant and look forward to visiting again in the future.

Great food, great cocktails and great service! Definitely recommend the soft shell crab! We ordered two servings as it was so yummy. We will be back to try more out of the menu.

SOI 38 ADELAIDE REVIEWS

One of the top restaurants in Adelaide, surely. A great experience at a classy yet casual venue. Food is excellent, I especially recommend the beef skewers, the sauce that they come in is so good we asked to keep it to have with our mains, too. Decent portions, but make sure you order rice on the side with any curries. A must try for Thai lovers in Adelaide.

Delicious food, comes out a little slow but they let you take your time. Modern Thai food and good level of spice We did the tasting menu option which had plenty of food There was also a curry.

A must to book as it was packed on Wednesday night. We had the $65 per person two course menu. Fabulous food and the waiter was very helpful, explaining each dish. I thought the wine menu was expensive though. Food came out quickly, well presented and very tasty Perfect.

STAR OF SIAM REVIEWS

The food was superb, and the service was excellent. We shared the entree, Sea Star, which was off the main menu, but we had our own individual main meal. We had two Kao-Mon Gai-Tod & one Red Curry Prawn. We all agreed we'd definitely come back again for lunch. It pays to book an inside table as they get full fast.

very relaxing, calming space. not overwhelming what so ever, no obnoxious smells or loud noises. the service is incredible: they will do anything and everything to satisfy you. kind workers, comforting space, the food and drinks are delicious.

The best classy fresh Thai food in Adelaide. It's a must if you're a tourist in South Australia. Yummy Thai restaurant and unforgettable experience.
