The staff here are very keen to serve and provide a fantastic experience. They were able to cater for allergies without an issue across all
Of their dishes. They were even able to break up the entree dishes so that we could “try” some different things! All dishes eaten were amazing. You have to try their signature dish which is the crispy eggplant. You won’t believe what they can do with this boring vegetable (actually, I think it’s technically a fruit?!). Green curry was nice and all served were full of fresh vegetables and plenty of meat. This is going to be our new regular for Thai food from now on.
We’ve been to Tongue Thai’d quite a few times and recently returned for a last minute dinner out. Service was friendly as it always is and we were seated at a cosy table in the back room. Staff were friendly and polite, food was great and very traditional flavours. We always have the eggplant special, you can’t go past it, it’s so delicious. A great place for a casual meal with family or friends.
Some great tasting Thai, best eggplant in Adelaide! Red duck curry was sensational. Not sure about best value for money though, dishes are very saucy and quite expensive for actual content but nonetheless a place we keep coming back to for the taste.
Went here for dinner with a friend who recommended this place to try while I was in Adelaide. We were greeted cheerfully at the door and while not the most fancy place, definitely felt cosy and welcoming.
We ordered 2 entrees and three mains. Food was prompt as were the drinks.
I had the chicken satay entree which I thought was just a little dry, it was stuck to the skewer pretty securely but the satay was quite good. My friend raved about the eggplant special. I'm not a huge fan of eggplant but this had me eating my words. It was the prefect combination of crunchy outside and chewy inside in a rich chicken mince sauce. The pad Thai was also deliciously rich and the fish in the four spice fish was succulent and incredibly tasty.
While it may not be an amazing experience, the signature flavors are definitely pronounced and done well. I'd come just for the eggplant on my next visit to Adelaide.
Ahhh my fave place! This was the first restaurant I experienced in Adelaide 2 years ago and I cant help returning every few months. The signature eggplant dish is just incredible. They have the happiest smiliest staff going and the venue is very welcoming and comfortable.
Absolutely delicious food! Went for dinner with girlfriends on Friday night and shared several entree and main dishes. Staff we more than happy to accommodate our GF and egg free allergies- so welcoming!
Thoroughly enjoyed the deep fried tofu and spring roll entrees. The fired eggplant main was to die for, with not a scrap left on the plate at the end of the meal! Vegetarian laksa was delicious too. Will definitely dine here again soon.
Great service, lovely staff and the Eggplant Specialty is to die for
Good good. We had chicken pad thai, signature eggplant .Fresh, quality ingredients, very tasty and friendly services,Couldn't ask for more. Lovely!!
Delicious Thai food. Really enjoyed the food here. Brought back memories of Phuket. Tremendous service here and I will probably return.
Love it. This place is one of the best thai resaraunts ive been in.. we will be back soon !!
Terrible name, not terrible food. The eggplant special is amazing - worth getting to share as it's pretty heavy!
There are definitely better Thai places in Adelaide, because Adelaide ha some amazing hidden gems, but Tongue Thai'D is still pretty good and the décor is lovely.
The food was DELICIOUS!! Exceeded all expectations!! We had the cho-chee flounder, chicken laksa and the signature eggplant dish. All was very very tasty! We are in the garden which has a great atmosphere and vibe! Great service and great experience!
Really enjoyed our visit to Tongue Thai'd. Food great however service really good, very attentive. Sat outside really nice aesthetics, will defintately return!
Fantastic food and staff. Very reasonably priced too, but the service is a little on the slow side. However if you wanted fast service go to Ying chows.
Visit this joint, order a bottle and enjoy some of the best thai food going around.

Small bowls always mean you consume much more, but it’s so worth it at Tongue Thai’d.. I had been itching to try this place after a recommendation from my foodie mother. Upon entering this red retro decorated establishment, albeit a little kitsch but, hey, I like kitsch! We were seated with enough space away from other diners to have our own conversation. The warm red walls and soft lighting makes everyone look attractive. Good start I say!
The quick service was much appreciated for our hungry bellies. The waiter explained the specials, with a few traditional Thai dishes, however I didn’t try the chicken bums (yes, bums!)... maybe next time. The signature dish is the crispy fried Eggplant. Well worth it, not sure of calorie intake, if it tastes this good, you don’t ask!! In comparison to the other reviewers I enjoyed the caramel sweetness, without it being too much. We also ordered a variety of dishes (red duck curry, four flavour fish, chilli & basil vegetables, and pad thai) to mix up the flavours.
Dessert was offered, a selection of Italian based cheesecake and tortes, jokingly offered as “not Thai”. We were told they are “100% fat free” by the waiter with his convincing smile that is reminisce of the local racketeers on the streets of Thailand. His smile almost had me, but the digestion of the mains was still occurring.
Worked out at $25/head including a few beers, overall a thoroughly enjoyed meal and I will venture back again.
What a fantastic place! Have driven past this little gem for years and always had it on the To Do list! Finally we went tonight and weren't sorry!
Beautiful service and food with wonderful decor!
Well worth a try and highly recommend the eggplant special!
Went here for my birthday last night. Loved it, great service :)
Had a lovely meal late Friday night! The signature eggplant dish is divine. I can't stop thinking about it! Restaurant has a great vibe, beautiful food, and good service. Will definitely be back.
Busy busy. The chilli cononut veggies are unbelievable, pad thai delicious too. We ordered another curry too but were given two chilli coconut veggies accidentally, although I wasn't complaining because it was so good. We had it to take-away so can't comment too much on the service, but staff seemed stressed and run off their feet, think they might need another pair of hands....Decor inside kooky and interesting
OMG! WOW!. This place is fab! The decor is superb and it is so cosy. The food was absolutely delicious, this is thai food!! The service was unbelievable, the staff were so friendly from the time we walked in the door. we had a very large table, and nothing was too much trouble, and it was a Saturday night and the place was packed. They make a mean cocktail too ;)
Hooray for good food in the burbs! Can't wait to go back.
Generally good, but.... Well, I like Tongue Thai'd. Specifically, I like their Pad Thai (one of the best in Adelaide) and the service and atmosphere. However, a lot of their other stuff on the menu is quite forgettable. But, maybe it's more tuned for different taste buds than mine. I'd still recommend going at least once, and definitely go the Pad Thai.
Service surprisingly good. Cakeage too much so birthday cake left for home treat. Squid salad to die for!

Nice but not fab. My husband I I went there as we are Thai food foodies & after hearing the squark over the food here we gave it a go. The service was great but 3 waiters & the owner kept coming over to us several times which was annoying, so much so i had to tell them to back off! They also kept dimming the light every time they left the room, which i ended up turning up as we couldn't see our food!
The food was good, as was the eggplant dish & the red duck curry with lychees however NOT as good as Tanapa Thai's crispy eggplant or red duck curry with lychees food in Glenelg. Would I go back again though? Yep, probably.
Best Thai in Adelaide. I can scarcely believe the bad reviews of this amazing restaurant. This place has everything: exciting, delicious food, great staff, terrific atmosphere, good wine list.... I have been 20+ times here & taken many friends along with me. I don't even like eggplant but their signature dish is OUT OF THIS WORLD. I especially love the red duck with lychees as well. I've had just about everything on the menu & never been disappointed. I recommend when in a group you order a bit of everything & share & when there's nothing left you'll all be licking the bowls at the end!
Fabulous fine night. We ate last night with another couple. Had the banquet which was entrees and a selection of four mains and rice as well as drink to start. We then had two bottles of rose and waited for their show to start. Mat was dressed in drag and paraded around for the evening mingling with the tables and was then MC for the Chillies on the Side show which was amazing. Three woman entertained us in very intimate surrounds. Their voices and interaction were fabulous. By 11pm they had the entire restaurant with all chairs pushed back and dancing. What a great night!
Only one dish on the menu. The only reason that i go back to this restaurant is for the Eggplant and Minced Chicken special. That dish is out of this world and worth the trip. Unfortunately, the rest of the menu is more than average. I've had a few of the curries and they taste so similar.
The atmosphere is great, service lovely and its licensed which helps the overall feeling of the place.
So, a serve of the Eggplant a bottle of wine and i really enjoy heading here for a quick eat.
Great Food Great Service. What a pleasant change, will be back and bringing more friends with me.
Book ahead and get ready for a great night! Order the eggplant and chicken dish, and relax in the knowledge that all the food is fabulous. A little gem!
Amazing -we keep going back for this authentic Thai food. Cheap corkage and great service, one of the best kept secrets in the Wester suburbs!
Amazing Thai. A fantastic meal with equally great service. The blonde girl and who looked to be the manager interacted in a fun and energetic way which added to the already vibrant atmosphere.
I can recommend the eggplant & chicken dish - their signature - and their wine list is more than what you'd expect at any Asian style restaurant.
This is a secret I'm glad I heard about and will certainly tell all of my friends.
Thanks guys!
There’s plenty of food and, once you do get the bill, it is reasonably priced. Just be aware that you will need to book, the restaurant can be a bit cramped and noisy and the service … well, it’s casual. But once you have some crispy aubergine you probably won’t care.
wonderful place for dinner. Always ordering take aways, reasonable price and high quality food
Absolutely love this place! Delivery is pretty quick and the prices are good. The satay chicken skewers are my favourite in Adelaide! Have dined in a few times too and the quality does not drop - the service is as great as the food is.
Lovely restaurant and excellent service, waiter give us really good table for me and my husband, excellent thai food. We will try the Garden dining area next time, it looks so romantic with amazing light.
We will come back soon and love this restaurant and make us feel so comfortable.
Amazing food. Best Thai in Adelaide. Service can be hit and miss - when ordering drinks, a waitress didn't know what scotch was and once your table has been served they kind of forget about you and don't ask if you need any more drinks or dessert, haha. But it's all worth it for the excellent authentic food.
