This will be my new go-to lazy Sunday dinner. We had Cafe Michael 2 delivered via Menu Log and was not disappointed when it arrived. Fast, hot and most importantly tasted devine! :))
I see the haters, they hatin'. Personally I love this place - although to be fair I usually get it delivered. The only thing I don't like is the pad thai ironically. Try the penang beef or the nam tok.
Consistently reasonable thai with the exception of the prices. Maybe it's because of their location they can charge more, but one of the appeals to me of getting thai food is the generally low cost. This will not become a regular because of that. The food however is pretty good, particularly the laksa and crispy beef.

After a long hard day working, I went on to our many food delivery sites and chose Cafe Michael for a change. Well I wasn't disappointed. I chose the Pee Pee Island for 2 meal deal for $32.90. You get 2 x spring rolls, Pad Thai, Green Curry chicken and rice. This was excellent value for take away money, considering I have had many deliveries and they can be incredibly expensive if your not careful. The spring rolls were good and at least they tasted homemade and not out of a box. The Pad Thai was fresh and very good, they seriously packed so much into this container, I could have lived off this for a week!! The Green Curry was very well balanced and packed with chicken and basil, only one small mention is that there is not one vegetable in sight in this dish. I do love some veges with my curry, even if it's just one vege, that will do! But still, fresh and tasty. Rice is rice. The delivery came at almost the exact time they said via my txt msg, brownie points for that! Definately worth a try and I look forward to ordering more from their menu in the near foodie future!
Walked into this restraunt with family on a fairly quiet Sunday for lunch; waiter was nice and helpful. The lunch specials have a great variety to choose from and priced very reasonably. We had Pad Thai, Tom Yum Prawns and Thai Vegetarian Fried Rice. All of the dishes were nicely made, and tasted authentic.
Great food, especially must try their delicious Green chicken curry and Tom yom soup. Enjoyed a lot, never disappointed here, highly recommended.
Tom YUMMY!
If thy palette yearns for the best Tom Yum in Adelaide thou shalt not miss Cafe Michael 2. Thou shalt not be disappointed.
Tom Yummy!
After walking around for 30 mins trying to decide where to eat we reckon we chose the best place in town. The food was outstanding and customer service will be hard to beat anywhere else. You will have to try it for yourself, you won't be disappointed. This is the first review I have ever written which goes to show how impressed we were. One more thing...thanks for the glasses!
This is far the best Thai restaurant in Australia, amazing flavors, excellent atention by the staff and a beautiful decorated Thai style environment. Highly recommended green curry and papaya salad!
I organised a birthday dinner for 12 people here and it was one of the best experiences I've had. The lady on the phone was very polite and friendly while taking the booking. A confirmation e-mail was sent to me before the date. When we arrived we brought a cake that was later on brought out with plates and cut into small pieces by the staff. The staff were on hand to refill our plates with rice and our cups with water. Fantastic thai food at affordable prices. They even gave my partner a special birthday present and a group picture sent to her by email. Overall a fantastic experience, would highly recommend café Michael 2 to anybody wanting to host a special event.
If you're ever in the east end area of town and feeling like some authentic Thai food, Cafe Micheal isn't a bad choice.
The word 'authentic' is often thrown a lot these day, but Cafe Micheal really did have an authentic feeling to their foods. I ordered the beef noodle soup, and it came out looking like it is what it would look like in Thailand. I really enjoyed the beef, it had a nice flavour too it, one that i couldn't quite put my finger on. It was well garnish with salads that provided a fresh sense to the soup. It was pretty much the Thai version of Vietnamese pho.
Overall, for the price of $9.90, you cant go wrong with it for a quick lunch. I would dine again.
Dined here on 2 occasions during our Visit to Adelaide in April. Stumbled on the place at the middle of Rundle st and thought we would give it a try. Glad we did. Nice ambience and very friendly staff and owners. Come from Issan region of Thailand and really know how to cook tru Thai. On both nights we were given a complimentary starter either stuffed chicken wings or Barramundi both of which were excellent. The duck curry, fried rice, larp and noodle salad were all as good as you can get. Big meal at good value. Can't wait to go back.
“Great yellow curry and lovely staff”. My wife and I stumbled upon this restaurant after taking a late night walk from grenfel st nearby. We hadn't planned on Thai having has Thai for lunch. It was close and seemed busy with happy customers so we went in. We ordered the yellow curry and Tom Yum soup. The curry and the soup were spectacular. The curry was the best I have had with rich tastes, thick tender chunks of chicken, light and fluffy rice and a fantastic sav blanc wine. I couldn't fault the above meals. The fish cake was ok - nothing spectacular - but the other two more than made up for it. The staff were lovely and made us feel very welcome. We will be back
Great food from three around 60 years age old chefs(ladies). The creative Thai food in this place is better than a lot of food you'd find in Thailand. We asked for recommendations and weren't dissapointed by any. With a varied winelist and attentive, interested staff we had a great meal here. The location is pretty amazing too, right by the side of the harbour in a heritage building. I will be there every week sunday 6pm.
Great service, good value.. Have been to this fine establishment many times over the years never a bad experience, always busy the food is delicious and just the right amount of spice the service always friendly and professional love it great location and easy access to nightlife and public transport
Excellent service. Waiters were attentive, food came out very quick. Daily special was good value. We went on Monday night, green curry chicken with rice and a Heineken was less than $19! One of us had whole snapper which was huge serving, delicious! The pad Thai was very good also. Highly recommend. All dishes we had were beautiful.
Big servings. Order carefully.
Excellent!. Fantastic Thai food and friendly service.
Fantastic for a date night! little gem in the east end of Adelaide that produces decent 4* Thai cuisine! easily the best Thai around Adelaide.
Such a beautiful restaurant! Amazing atmosphere, friendly staff! Clean and delicious meals, cooked perfectly! The desserts were absolutely amazing!! Will definately be coming up here time and time again!! Thanks for such a wonderful evening!!
Loved it. We were very impressed - great food and really reasonable price with generous portion sizes. The staff were quite friendly as well. Would definitely recommend it for an awesome Thai Food fix in Adelaide!!
Nice spice. We grabbed an early dinner here during the Fringe Festival and were impressed with the speed of service and quality of the food, especially as a large birthday party was kicking off as we sat down. Families were made welcome, space made for strollers etc. Would defnitely return.
Fantastic place for Authentic Thai! Awesome flavours, friendly staff, Quirky place to eat day or night! 4*
Had a really enjoyable experience here due to friendly staff, a good vibe and of coarse - delicious, fresh food (that is served incredibly quick)! Recommend any of the soups and nam tok beef salad! Yum!
Breakfast, lunch and dinner YUM!. I would happily live on the Prawn Choo Chee Curry, Nam Tok Salad, Phad Thai and Green Chicken Curry... morning, noon and night... thankfully they deliver so I nearly can!!! Having spent considerable time in Thailand... this is truly authentic Thai. Yet to find a Green Chicken Curry of it's equivalent in Adelaide.
The green chicken curry has always been a winner and i have yet to find a better one elsewhere.
I went for a friend's birthday on Saturday night 17th march. It was very busy. Food was good but not the red soup with mushroom from the banquet menu. It was awful!!!. Service average but we didn't wait long.
Odd. Been here over a dozen times in the last decade or so & never got rude treatment, some claim. This is one of the few decent places lrft on Rundle st for lunch and is as authentic as you'd ever require. Be careful about orderind extra spice! And the serves can be rather small on the lunch specials.
So good.. Staff is always friendly, and on the off-chance they do omit something from your order, it is quickly fixed.
Always searching at other places for the type of tofu CM2 use, really can't beat it though. Best Thai in Adelaide.
Great Thai takeaway in Adelaide. Takeaway from here is brilliant (had it two nights in a row!). It arrived hot and in a timely manner, and flavours were spot on. Love it.
The best Thai food I've ever had!!! Very authentic - fantastic staff and great atmosphere. Reasonably priced - would definitely recommend it!!
CM2 is a long going Adelaide institution with authentic fare (better than the poor excuses in Sydney!) I would say that none of the food would be foreign to that served at a bhuddist temple... And that the recipies have been tempered to Western tastes without compromising authenticity. Luckily, you can order dishes in mild medium and O my god it's hot! Larp and green curry is excellent.
Pretty good had banquet with 9 others busy Friday lunch worked well. Waiter was part of the ambience.
Green curry was pretty tasty. Seems a little pricey for the quality. Would still be interested in going again to try more of their food. Staff was very friendly
Photos don’t do justice. You just have to come and taste the food yourself.
I never enjoyed Egg Noodles in my life but this place changed me. Simply taste, smokey, right sweetness, umami and creamy. Noodles was properly cooked, none of it sticking together. Right texture and very delicious! I encourage you to try it and you will not be disappointed.
Definitely will be back!
First time I've ever eaten here, and I will definitely be going back. The food was incredible. Ate it all before I remembered to take a photo. It came out in a very timely manner. Everyone working was polite and had smiles on their faces. They clearly do a good amount of take away, so either you sit in or take away, it's absolutely worth every cent.
First time in Cafe Micheal 2 and YOU have to go! It’s the cutest little spot in the city with amazing food. The Thai food is to die for. IT WAS FIRE!! The service we received was so amazing and we will definitely be back again. They made us feel welcomed and gave us an amazing experience.
Great lunch menu. Delicious food, always ready in minutes, and very friendly staff. Highly recommended
The Pad Thai noodles are very nice. Have only tried that as a vegan. The quantity of veggies are great. However, we asked to add tofu at extra cost and it was a disaster. We literally left all the tofu in the dish and had the regular serving. Basically, Don't add tofu otherwise the good and service is great.
The restaurant looks a bit old, but the food was amazing. I was here during Adelaide Fringe and I think that this is the best Thai food restaurant that you must try when visiting Adelaide. Massaman beef curry was my favourite, following by Chicken Druken noodle. The chicken was well-cooked to remain juicy. It was dark outside during the fringe so I didn’t have chance to take photos!! Highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to try authentic Thai food in Adelaide!
Had an amazing time here. Authentic & Delicious food, excellent service and a well maintained place.
Thai has been my favorite cuisine since then!
Highly recommended!👍🏻
