10/10 in all areas. Food is absolutely amazing, best place I’ve ever been to. Service is at a high standard too. Speed of service is outstanding too. No faults whatsoever, would recommend to anyone and everyone! Nu and everyone else there are the best.
Absolutely sensational food, and so many great options it’s impossible to choose! The service and atmosphere was unreal, definitely coming back!
Brilliant meal. The food was absolutely delicious and the atmosphere was lovely. 100% would recommend
Went for a Friday lunch with a friend of the chef . Left it to Nu to feed us . So good. Beautifully presented dishes, made with fresh ingredients and perfectly executed. Big thumbs up from me and will definitely return when I’m back in Adelaide.
Food ✔️ service ✔️ value for money ✔️ A great place that ticked all the boxes. Food had beautiful flavours, portions were massive, and service was great, no issues with changing up ingredients of existing menu, very accommodating. Highly recommended.
Lantern by Nu is just off Gougar Street and I love the cool and retro vibes of this place. The food is fantastic. The crispy pork belly with broccoli (pictured) is on point and the pad thai with chicken (pictured) is the best pad thai I have had in years. The service is friendly and the food comes out very quickly which is a bonus if you are super hungry. I cannot wait to try again. #laternbynu
We did the “Lantern Greed” dining option, and it was amazing. So much food for your money, and a great variety. Everything sounded delicious, so it was great to get to try a lot of it with this option. And they were completely accommodating to GF requirements. Lovely staff, wine, and environment too. We will be beck to try the rest of the menu!
Hidden just off Gouger st, Lantern by Nu serves up a variety of modern Thai dishes. The restaurant itself is a little cramped and a tad noisy but i guess this is testimate to the great food and hence its popularity. The Crispy Pork Betel Leaves are a must.
Recently came for dinner and decided to do the feed me option. For $65pp you got a decent amount of food with the offer of if you’re still hungry the chef will give you more. I loved the whole fried fish, so tasty. The entrees were also delicious although only quite bite sized. Dessert for 2 of us was a lemon tart and a selection of ice cream and sorbet which were nice enough but not really what you would want on a cold winter night. Service pretty good, a bit of a wait for our drinks but all in all a good night out.
Not everyday you get a dish served by the chef himself! Nu and all the restaurants he has left his imprint have been amazing. This is by far the best thai food I’ve had in a long time and so much of it! We had a fabulous night and enjoyed every dish that came out. Faultless. Thanks Nu and the fantastic team of staff for a great night!
Well a nice little discovery in a city street. Food was divine but the service was slow, but very pleasant and nice. We rocked up and were shown to the booth. No one explained the specials. In fact no one come for quite some time to take drink orders by which time we were ready for food orders.
Great service, cool location and good vibes inside. The oysters were incredible, as was the squid. The crispy beef with sprinklings of dragon fruit was delicious 😍
Not sure if just tonight, but two of our dishes were inedible due to the chilli levels. I'm a massive chilli fan but this was....wow. Will be back to try other dishes but highly recommend giving this place a miss if you have the slightest aversion to heat.
Won’t say much here! Absolutely amazing!! Foods were incredibly great, attentive staffs. Very happy!
Greater focus on traditional features without going too contemporary. Prompt service, proper spectrum of flavours, lively decor. Definitely returning.
Visited Lantern by Nu again last week and this being one of our favourite restaurants in Adelaide, we felt the food was far better the first time we visited compared to the second. But it doesn't mean the food was bad but the food choice specifically the flavour in tiger prawn was not to our liking. But overall it's still one of our favourite restaurants.
Best service.
Favourite dish: Slow cooked beef cheeks (as in photo)
Portion is pretty big, but doesn't over compensate the quality.
Probably best thai/fusion restaurant to date.
I have been to several Thai restaurants before but I don't think any of them can measure up to Lantern by Nu. When I first walked in, I loved the vibe of the restaurant, it is just esthetically pleasing to look at. The staff members are so welcoming as everyone greets you and you just feel so comfortable being here. Now let's talk about the food, which was what blew my mind. Every single dish that was severed to us was amazing. We did the feed me menu which was $65. The amount of food we got versus the quality, it was out of this world. Everything was cooked perfectly, balanced with the Thai herbs and spices that complemented every single dish that came out, from beef cheek curry, lamb curry, salt and pepper squid to the oysters. I was told this restaurant was great, but this literally blew my mind. I'm so coming back here again.
How good is this place? Very!
I didn't even know this place existed, if you don't know it's there you will drive/ walk right by.
We had a large group and pretty much had everything on the menu and there were no complaints.
Beef cheeks, lamb curry, eggplant and chicken wings were the stand outs. The cocktails were really good as well.
As good as the food was the service, the waitresses was helpful and honest.
We will be coming back or at the least ordering for takeout!!
From the moment I made my booking I knew we'd be looked after here.
The owner is just divine.
Its like she's welcoming you in to her home.
The restaurant is like nothing else I've ever been to. Hidden away on a side street, but well worth seeking out!
There were 12 of us and we had the $65 ph banquet.
We were all so full and content at the end, and left with containers of left overs too!
Already dreaming about my next visit, and everyone else in our party felt the same.
Best restaurant experience overall that I've had in years. No pics, as we were all too busy enjoying our meal!
