We purchased the 6 yum cha dishes for $32 on Groupon and would say it was totally worth it! We were able to choose any of the 6 dishes listed on the menu including stir fry noodles. The staff were very attentive and friendly and the food arrive quickly.
We ordered the prawn dumpling, prawn and scallop siu mai, deep friend prawn dumplings, steam rice pasty with Chinese donut, fried squid and stir fry beef ho fun. The fried squid was our favourite - full of flavour and crispy! The size of the prawn dumpling and siu mai was also a very generous serving size. I think we will definitely return again!
Love the Peppercorn Chicken and the Malay Kong Po Chicken but it is a shame the Salted Fish, Chicken and Tofu Hot Pot is no longer on the menu. Otherwise, would have given them a 5.
Fairly decent although nothing absolutely superb. All in all the quality of the food is decent and the prices reasonable however it ulsuffers from some superb competition in the vicinity. Would I return? Yes. Would I go out of my way to go here? Probably not
Came here for yum cha today and I was quite surprised by the service and the speed of the food coming around. Usually, not a lot of yum cha places offer above standard service, but this place hit just that! We were greeted, and not treated like anything less, and the waiters always said excuse me when they came around with food. Overall, the yum cha was quite nice and delicious, though nothing wow or fancy. It's a place I can definitely see myself coming back to in the future if in need of yum cha.
Today was my second time to this restaurant in a while. The yum cha is still good but I feel the quality has dropped a bit over the last two years. Pork and prawn dumplings were good and the highlight was the taro yum cha, crispy tasty and juicy inside. We had 6 softener items for yum cha and they were all fairly good. We also had some fried rice and sweet and sour chicken which was really good. I would try this place again but if quality continues to drop I don't think I will come back. The staff are very friendly and try hard.
After trying most of the places in and around the china town area, it was a relief to find one as good as this. The service was great and the food was bought out quickly. Taste was authentic Chinese with a hint of western. Reasonably priced. Would recommend.
Really enjoyed their teo chow stewed duck, which has been stewed for hours.. Try the soup noodles with duck.. Delicate and delicious. They also do yum cha.
The food is enjoyable and the service is really fast. Good range of options on the menu and particularly enjoyed the dumplings.Will definitely be back.
Very authentic chao zhou (teo chew) style cuisine. It's one of the best Chinese restaurant in Adelaide. Some of the dishes are very unique authentic chao Zhou dish not many restaurant have these

T Chow is just off Gouger St in Moonta and is a late night haven for the hungry (at least for us) with superb Cantonese cuisine. Come here for hot pots and sweet and sour dishes. This is another place we come to for duck (being duck junkies). Friends also rave about the Yum Cha here including pork dumplings and ox tripe.
Deep fried prawns mince with chinese mushroom filling roll. I like the deep fried prawns mince with chinese mushroom filling vegetable cover, I forgot what that call. I am sure I can only eat that in here.
Had the Scoopon yum cha lunch - pick six dishes. The food was very good-tasty and well done, showing the subtle flavours of each dish. Service was average, wine a bit on the pricey side especially per glass.
Always Good. My favourite Chinese place in Adelaide, the decor is nothing special but who cares it's about the food and for the price it's unbeatable. If your a lover of good Chinese food definitely go there, never been disappointed in 8 years of coming here!
I have been eating here for years! Good value for money, use to be cheaper... Good quality and serving size has reduced in recent years but in saying that it's still high on my list for valve and quality for money! Can't go past the hot pots and crispy beef!
Thumbs up for T Chow
Best congee in adelaide but yum cha is not good enough when compared with other restaurant at Chinatown.
Small but delicious. My only negative about T chow is the small serves in comparison to many other Chinese restaurants on / around Gouger St. I always find that we have to order 2 or 3 more dishes than we would normally to be satisfied, and since their pricing per dish is comparable to most of the other restaurants, it does mean your a bit more out of pocket.
It is still a great place to go with friends, especially big groups cos they cater well for this. BYO is super cheap, so always helps to pull us in. Green peppercorn chicken is a must, and the T chow duck of course.
A goodie... The pick of the chinese restaurants in the city and I have eaten at them all, thanks to my dear mum who is a Chinese food fanatic! T-Chow does a decent job at Yum Cha for lunch, but their normal menu food is very good. Some excellent hot pot dishes, good salt and pepper dishes and an excellent T-Chow Duck. There green peppercorn chicken is outstanding too! Could be the best of the lot!
A definite must go when in the city. Enjoy!
Best Chinese in Adelaide?.......YES!. Our absolute favourite Chinese restaurant in Adelaide. I use this as the bench mark that I compare all other to and even that which i have eaten in Hong Kong trips. Superb food, not the absolute greatest service but I am not concerned with that when I com here, it is sufficient and courteous enough, very prompt but for me most importantly and what I look for when I come here is a fabulous food experience and it delivers that to me each and every time! Eat here every opportunity we can and never disappoints
Was worried after bad dumplings for entree, but the mains were wonderful. Highly recommend the pork eggplant hotpot, soft shell crab and green peppercorn chicken - yum. Service was ok.
This is one of mine and my friends favourite places in Adelaide. It is always busy and the food is really good, especially for the prices. The standout dish by a country mile is their duck. Any variety, it is all amazing. Arguably the best part is the cheap corkage, so a good time is always had when a few bottles of red are brought.
On second thoughts.... I'd like to revise my previous glowing review of T Chow after last night's experience. The food was good, as always, so no complaints there. However, the service was very poor. The waitress who took our order was on the ball but everyone else was lacking.
One waitress knocked over a beer all over a chair, quickly cleaned it up & ran off without so much as an offer to replace it. Another waitress was visibly grumpy & rude. We waited a long time for our second order of drinks & for water.
For a supposed classier Chinese dining experience the service was terrible! I've read other reviews about poor service but never had the problem until last night. They were very busy but I don't see that as an excuse: employ more staff & ones who want to be there?
Reliable. Nothing to wow about but always reliable good food. The duck still tastes as good as when I first tried it many years ago. Services can be a bit stretched during full capacity but overall we got what we needed. Keep up the good works!
Love this place!. T-Chow is the place to go if you want a huge meal with a large group and if you love BYO. My group of friends is very much a group of wino's and with a corkage fee of $3 per person, you can't really go wrong! And they actually provide you with decent glasses which is nice! I've heard their wine list is fairly good as well, although we've always just brought our own.
The food is really yummy and the atmosphere is great. The lazy susan table makes this the best place to order a wide variety of dishes and share it around. The prices are great as well. Plus, the place is huge so you can almost always guarantee a walk in will be available for you.
Forget Ying Chow. Where we used to go to Ying Chow, T-Chow is now our favourite spot for 3 reasons. 1. We have never been turned away, it's the sheer size of the place that always allows us to get in without a booking on peak nights. 2. The service, who said that at Chinese resto's you have to suck it up and just injoy the food, at T-Chow service is genuine and with a smile. 3. THE FOOD is immaculate fullstop.
Absolutely fab..... About the only thing missing from this esteemed group at our Dec 11 lunch was Eddie and Patsy. T Chow now has Yum cha on Saturdays and so our regular 3 monthly luncheons seemed set to change. However the lunch menu with our same old favourites was available and we managed to get through about as many bottles of wine as people on the table and some. As usual a great lunch.
Great place!. Fantastic food, fantastic service.
Have been going here since as long as I can remember... 10+ years. The serving sizes have remained relatively the same and most of all the quality of the food has stayed the same - delicious. Meals come out quickly and staff are always willing to help and very friendly. Atmosphere is very relaxed, you can tell everyone is enjoying their food!
T-Chow Peppercorn Chicken, Pork Green Beans and Chinese Olive, Peking Style Crispy Beef, Scallops, Chicken Satays, Sweet Chicken Corn Soup, Sweet and Sour Pork are a few of their mouthwatering dishes.
OH and I must say, best fried icecream around. Serve comes with 2 decent sized rectangular pieces of fried icecream (batter is just the right thickness, nice and crispy and icecream is still in one piece and very creamy) with some yummy caramel drizzled over the top.
The food is served hot and fast and service is delivered with a smile.
An Adelaide institution! Expansive restaurant with a tasty Cantonese menu, tailored especially for large groups – embrace the lazy Susan and $5 corkage. Dust off some cellar dwellers, round up the friends and go feasting for under $40 a head! You won’t be disappointed.
A quick pit stop into T-Chow after a late night gig Friday night saw C and myself opting for something small, comforting and warm!
Perhaps Adelaide's most popular Chinese restaurant, T-Chow specialises particularly in Chuichow cuisine.
The food was so so good.
Only let down was the restaurant was freezing and the staff were quite rude.
Walk past it regularly but finally gave it a try. Tried their yum cha menu during Sunday lunch time. Ordered satay tripe, prawn Cheung fun, squid tentacles, scallop dumplings, Chinese chive dumplings and chicken feet. Everything was well seasoned. Nice flavour with the chilli used. Tripe had good texture, not too chewy and did not have strong odour. Dumplings were nice in size and flavor. Service was very attentive at the time (Sunday afternoon). Food came out timely and steaming hot. Will come again and recommend others to try.
Wonderful service. Arrived after 9pm and they were still able to seat us. The food was delicious and a reasonable price.
Delicious Food and has amazing value for money! Ate with friends from Guangzhou in China and they rated these dishes highly in terms of authenticity! Highly recommended! If you want to see a video review of this restaurant and its food, feel free to check out my YouTube.
Good location, prompt service. Very sharp on the COVID QR code check in. Reasonably priced. The younger staff were very polite and friendly. Food was quite good. Very spacious restaurant.
Yummy yum cha/dim sum. Prompt, polite service. Good food variety and fresh prawns. They also have a yum cha menu if you want a particular item.
