Absolutely solid. This place is a little bit of an institution and I’m glad we finally got to try it. Lots of wonderful options, and quite yummy. If it’s not a super busy night the service will be super prompt, otherwise a tad slower. Very friendly and accommodating owners. We look forward to coming back!
Have been eating at Phuket for over 20 years. My wife and I like many other regulars keep going as the food is always good as mum and dad make it. This is a first class family restaurant. I recently ordered the wrong fish dish (my mistake) and the manager (Sai) took it away and gave me my usual chilli barramundi!! I protested at the waste but he said dad would eat it for his dinner!
The home made spring rolls are excellent as is the green chicken curry, phad thai noodles and of course no 23 chilli fish!
I have read the bad reviews and something doesn't seem right about them!
Delicious food and good service thank you - the Restaurant was very busy - always a good sign and we weren’t disappointed. We had red Curry with beef - brought out the perspiration! And Phad Thai was lovely too😀
Simoly just amazing food and friendly staff. I have been there miltiple times now, honestly best Thai food I've had in Adelaide. I highly recommend It!
Honest review here.
This place IS the place for a great night of Thai food.
My wife, 3 kids and I went here on a Sunday night for dinner. Place was half full so not too busy.
Jetty rd can be hard for parking so you'll probably have to look in the side streets.
The place is nothing special to look at but it's clean and simple, and the service is 5 star from greeting you as you walk in to leaving after your meal.
The menu has most of the Thai classics with a selection of specials, and price-wise its on par with most typical places, ranging $15-25 for mains.
The service - we were WELL attended to. We were served promptly, courteously at all times and food and drinks came out quickly and when promised.
The food. Entrees were spring rolls, pranw patties and fish cakes and were not only decent sizes, but were so juicy and tasty that you'd probably could just eat that and forget the mains. The spring rolls are also VERY GOOD - packed with meat and vegies inside, not just pastry like some other places.
My wife's barramundi dish was SPECTACULAR. Best we've ever had. Cook properly and we can still smeel the crispiness of that skin!. We couldn't eat it all there was so much.
I had the chicken thigh fillet green curry. Wow - never seen the chicken so tender and fall apart so nicely.
My kids had noodles and stir fry vegetables with beef, and while they probably dont appreciate good quality, i had a taste and was blown away by how juicy and soft the noodles were, as well as the beef pieces and vegetables.
Their meals are definitely freshly cooked and made with choice ingredients.
At the end of the night, we paid $175 for 5 main meals with 3 entrees and drinks (including a few wines) and we ate like kings. Best value meal we've had for ages.
Bottom line - this is the ONLY place we'll go to for Thai from now on. If you're in Glenelg, definitely pay this place a visit.
The food was fantastic, and the service was great. The food arrived promptly and the staff were lovely. It is only a small area, so I can imagine it gets quite loud when busy, but on this experience I couldn't fault it.
Phuket Thai has an authentic Thai feel, with very tasty menu options. During the latest visit I enjoyed the duck curry. The decor is simple and neat, however for me some tables seem a bit too close together so that conversations can be overhead. Service is excellent, with staff very attentive to customer needs and having a reasonably good understanding of Gluten Free requirements. Identification of 'GF' items on the menu would be helpful.
We dine here regularly and have for years. Delicious and perfect every time. A few of our favourites are the pandan chicken, spring rolls, mixed seafood salad, Tom Kar Gai, red beef curry and the yellow chicken curry. We've tried many other dishes, and haven't been disappointed yet.
Can't believe how good this is. Red beef curry and green chicken curry are phenomenal. I have never had bad service here, but some nights are very busy and a little patience goes a long way. No wonder it's busy, everyone I know who likes Thai food loves this place.
Green curry chicken. Hot, spicy and delicious.
Beautiful fresh Thai food, good atmosphere and friendly staff. Recommend the Seafood Drunken Noodles, which have fresh/thick rice noodles and great flavours. However, while the food is lovely, you can't help but feeling overcharged... Fine dining prices for a quaint Asian cafe.
So the upstairs setting is not perfect but but good conversation with friends distracts from the ugly roof top view. We were served promptly the food amazing - green chicken curry was authentic Thai and the best we have had in Adelaide - the beef and basil delicious I liked the drunken noodle seafood but it was not the table favourite. We would go back but this time book in advance to get a downstairs table.
Our first Thai experience in adelaide and we were very impressed. Staff we're very friendly and attentive. Had 3 kids and were very accommodating. Meals were large and very very tasty. We had pandan chicken for entree which was delicious and beef mussaman, Penang curry and Stir Fried Pork - all we're very tasty and generous in size. Would recommend to anyone
As good as it gets. I've read some of the review on here and I don't know what restaurant they have been too!
The Phuket is awesome, some of the finest Thai food you will find, excellent service from the family staff and great prices.
The number of people I have taken there who claim their Spring Rolls to be the best they have eaten is amazing. The mixed entree is sensational, great flavours and a lovely mix to get started. My personal favorite is the Red Beef Curry, I love it. A close second for me is the Pad Thai, best in the Bay!
Recently renovated, the atmosphere I'd great and the food even better, seriously, you MUST try the Phuket.
One of the best Thai restaurants in Adelaide. Food consistently delicious, especially the hot and sour beef and the green peppercorn beef. Service is great, really polite and friendly. Decor is dated but still manages to have a lovely atmosphere.
Saves the day. My family and I have lived at glenelg for years and only came here last week. The food was yum mm.... Salmon choo chee and the duck curry were sensational! Finally I have found a great Thai restaurant in the area. Yahoo
Nice surprise. Very small, not flash looking...we actually only went in because it looked busy. BUT what a nice surprise, the food was excellent, really nice spices and a good tang to the hot meals. The prices were very reasonable especially considering the size of the meals and the service was reasonable considering the number of people in the restaurant. Will definately be going back again.
Good food!. If you can see past the VERY tired decor, the stained
menus and the fact that you may as well be sitting on a communal table the way the tables are so tighly packed in, the food is GREAT! Good authentic Thai flavours,no sickly sweet sauces here. The sticky rice desert is to die for! Having said all that, i'm not sure i would return here
simply because the decor and ambience that it creates is a real put off.
Baramundi not good, other items enjoyed. One can always come here & enjoy the good food.Seven out of ten.
Reasonably good food, friendly service. However the choice of drink was not availabe the day we went.. Try the barramundi which was fresh and spicy..might go there again..I will rate it 6.5 out of 10..
This place is gold! We go there all the time because the meals are consistently fantastic. I have tried most of the firms on the menu, recommend the Moreton Bay Bugs, Red Beef Curry (best in Adelaide), Yum Duck Salad, Cold Rolls and Pandan Chicken. But you shouldn't be disapponted with any of the dishes. Service is also a grade, you always feel welcome. Gab and Joel
First time at this restaurant. Ordered, fresh chilli, prawn and vegetable stir fry with rice and a curry with rice. The meals were beautifully presented, great serves, tasty, and very fresh and delicious. The atmosphere was relaxed and the waitress helpful and friendly. Enjoyed everything. They do takeaways which is convenient. The restaurant is not too big but comfortable with simple decor. This restaurant is worth visiting.
Lovely place with some interesting dishes. Went here with my family and we all really enjoyed it. The food was quite nice and had a good variety, and the servers were all really friendly. The only things I didn't like about the restaraunt were that it was a bit cramped, and the deserts were a bit bland (we had the banana cake thing and the banana fritters). They were interesting to try at least once though, and the rest of the food was enjoyable. I strongly recommend sharing dishes though if you go to eat here. While the dishes are nice, they get a bit "samey" when you just eat the one thing. They're also quite big, so three people would probably only need two.
Legendary restaurant, I think it’s 30 years. The food and service is great. The flavors are authentic and the servings are perfect. I like to go here once a year for a special occasion or everyone and then for a take away.
The best thing however are the home made desserts.
Very good overall. Pleasant setting friendly staff. Did not give 5 stars as there was no stand out dish in what we ordered food was good all the same.
Went here for a family dinner recently and really enjoyed the food. I got the choo chee prawns and they were cooked perfectly in an interesting and delicious sauce. I also had some spring rolls which were great. My partner had phud me noodles and he really liked them. Everyone else seemed to enjoy their meals too and the service was good too.
