I gave it 4 the 1st time because I put too much of that bottled sauces they offered. Dosent need it at all the Pho is so clean and vibrant with flagrant flavours. Look I love a parsimonious $20 pub grub fried dish but this dish is truly on another level of culinary quality cuisine superlative & executed on an elite level. I've eaten every where from HJs to Magill and enjoy everything in between and I'd say this is up there with the best value quality food available in Adelaide Kelly and Leon always look after me and they'll look after you too

My Girlfriend and I love Thai food and we’ve found the best Thai restaurant in Adelaide. We ordered the Chicken pad Thai, Chicken pho noodle in Wok with added beef and also a seafood Laksa. All ingredients were fresh and flavourful. If you don’t like Thai food, this place will change your mind guaranteed!

Found this gorgeous little place in Glenelg with the most delicious tasty food. We came here for lunch on a Monday and had the stir fry flat noodles, pad thai and salt and pepper squid. Most tender incredible squid I've ever eaten, staff extremely hospitable and friendly. Will definitely come again to try something else from the menu!
