Comments of Golden Boy
J. A.
Such an amazing experience! It’s been a few years since I had been to Golden Boy with Covid and all so was excited with last night’s experience!
We had the ‘eat me’ menu: was with a vegan friend so had the vegan version and it was outstanding! Lots of amazing subtle flavours, excellent service and a great vibe! Just loved it!
A. A.
From the moment walking in this very large and beautiful restaurant you feel very welcome.
Fantastic staff, very lovely with abilities to make good fun conversations.
Food was amazing. What a wonderful experience.
L. N.
Can't fault this dining experience! From the service to the food, everything was gold class. We had such a friendly waiter who was super friendly, ensuring that our party was full (and I mean really full) right until the end. The feed me menu is definitely fantastic value. Each dish is amazing and bursting with flavour. One of the best restaurants in Adelaide!
J.
What a fantastic experience. you walk in and already feel like it's gonna be a good night. The atmosphere with all the cool art on the walls and they give you chops sticks and customise your dinner for you. it's so cool! Will be very keen to come back and see what else they have to offer.
J. Y.
Can’t wait till the dessert comes out before giving review!
Everything was perfect tonight!
Went many places that do set menus but this is very good valued.
See how many we’ve received for 2! My boyfriend eats so much in general but we couldn’t finish the last main. We had almost half of what’s on the menu.
Very good vibes and really nice staff as well. Our waiter took really good care of us and tried to look after us all the time.
Not typical Thai but more a fusion Asian restaurant with a bit of western.
Food came out in a very good and reasonable pace, we had a little time to rest before another round of food was sent out.
Definitely good to try!
Q.
One of the best set menu we have ever had! Been to many places do set menu this is the best one in value wise. We were fed too full! Love every single meal they served. Staffs were friendly and we were looked after well. Thanks for having us. We will definitely come back again.
C.
One of the best dining and set menu experiences! Caters for all dietary requirements. Excellent food, drinks, venue and service! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
P. A.
The location and decor of the restaurant is very nice. Great vibes and very friendly and professional staff. For the night the food was Asian inspired (mostly Thai). Nice, warn hearty food but not balanced. The set menu is chosen based on peoples choices or allergies or preferences. Seasoning wise, some items were overpowering and touch too strong. The most important things on set menus is not only the quality of the individual dishes but also the balance if the items which was lacking in this case. Overall, nice fresh items and good experience.
T. D.
Great feed-me, actually satisfied and each dish was delicious ⭐
E. J. D.
Honestly the most amazing dining experience in Adelaide, not only due to the incredible food that’s catered perfectly to your dietary requirements, but the AMAZING customer service. We were seated at the bar and our server / barman Mac was nothing short of phenomenal. He was so attentive, funny and worked fast without seeming like he was in a rush. The most charismatic server and barman you’ll come across. Will definitely be making this a regular date night spot!
A. D.
The flavour of the food is incredible. Tuk Tuk (feed me/banquet menu) is good value. Staff are great.
N. W.
I have been here more than 10 times, and each time I get in love with the food served here.
C. L.
Our go-to for date night or bring our friends for a great meal out! Never disappoints, always delivers on flavour, fun and laughs. Very well accomodating for dietary requirements. Great cocktail menu and a fun, funky dining experience.
C. L.
Super fun experience, food was absolutely delicious.
R. B.
Excellent service, staff are all very friendly and accommodating. Food was fast out of the kitchen, fresh and delicious! We had the Tuk-Tuk experience and our waiter selected meals that suited our dietary requirements. The decor is lovely and we both really enjoyed the music and ambience.
T. L.
Great downstairs bar to have pre-dinner drinks. Great staff and amazing food. I really can't fault this place and am looking forward to a 3rd visit!
t. b.
We had the most amazing meal here! Every dish was incredible. As was the service! Jacob in particular looked after us so well and really made my 30th birthday a special one!
X. E.
The tuk tuk menu will save you from having to make the big decisions and they make sure you won't leave hungry. Love the flavours, it's Thai so expect some spice! The atmosphere is always lively, great for a weekend dinner and some drinks in the east end after
S. D.
It was okay, the best parts, the curries and the desert. It's a great location, well frequented and the decor is modern. Three of our four forks still had food stuck on them when laid out, so that wasn't great, but the service was okay and the food nice. It's a place to be seen in, not somewhere you go for the food.
B. R.
We had a great experience dining here on Monday night, from the exceptional service to the food, to the fit out of the venue it was absolutely wonderful!
We had the Tuk Tuk (banquet) menu and got a personalised selection of Edamame, Kingfish Sashimi, Pancakes, Fishcakes, Crispy Chicken, Poached Chicken Salad, Pork Belly & Apple Salad, Beef Cheeks & Rice, finished by a Roti & Pandan Custard.
I couldn’t fault almost all of the dishes, and we left feeling nice and full without being completely stuffed. The highlight was definitely the service, our lovely waitress helped us tailor the banquet menu & we were never left without a icy cold drink. Definitely worth a visit!
a. m.
Came here about a week ago and had a great night but wouldn't say great enough to go the 5 stars. Went the 'feed me' style menu for $69. Enjoyed all dishes bar the fried eggplant salad which was too sweet for me. Also thought the protein options could have been a bit more exciting as we got two pork and two chicken dishes. Overall a nice dinner but didn't wow me.
Z. W.
The food is incredible. Friendly service and all the food came out so quickly. We had the Tuk Tuk menu and I highly recommend it. The chef chooses the menu for you and it takes the pressure off ordering and you get a great variety of food.
J. N.
Wow, what an incredible experience! My boyfriend and I sat in the downstairs dining area for dinner and it was beautiful. Very ambient and relaxing and the service was outstanding.
As for the food, we had the ‘Tuk Tuk’ experience and couldn’t fault a single dish. Everything was full of flavour and served piping hot and fresh. The stand out meals for us would have to be the Beef Massaman curry and the Fried roti with Pandan custard, so delicious.
Overall, very enjoyable night and will definitely be back!
C. C.
Hospitality was beyond. Tuk Tuk set menu catered to differing dietary requirements. Amazing food and amazing vibes, highly recommend - especially for date nights. Golden Boy takes care of you!
J. B.
Delicious food, love the soft shell crab, poached salmon and crispy eggplant dish. The feed me menu was great..... Cocktails are great.....
C. W.
From the moment we walked in to Golden Boy, we felt it was going to be a great night. The hostess greeted us sincerely and not over the top, we enjoyed a drink in their 'speakeasy'esque' waiting room and from there taken up to the main restaurant.
We were given ample time to make our decision for dinner. The menu had a great selection of food, which made it hard to decide. Based on the food and the amazing service, we will definitely return to Golden Boy to sample more of their menu
D. M.
Easily the best Thai in Adelaide. Recommended the Tuk Tuk experience. Sit back, sip on your cocktail and let the enthusiastic staff serve up some delicious food. A fight between the chicken laab and the crispy eggplant for my favourite.
M. C.
Why has it taken me so long to try this joint?
Make sure you book, well in advance, or you’ll end up outside like we did. Which was okay but the service wasn’t. Which was a shame and is why I’m only giving it 4 stars, because the food is very good indeed
The indoor dining area are very pretty and we will definitely go back making sure we book ahead.
Thai food is Adelaide’s strong suit and so to stand out from an already saturated market is hard. Golden Boy achieves that. Every dish was perfect and had just a tiny bit more wow factor that my next favourite Thai places.
Sort the service out and you’ll have 5 stars.
M. E.
We came in to celebrate 1 year of being vegetarian and Golden Boy did not disappoint. Chris gave us the highest level of service, nothing was too much trouble. He was kind, patient and curtious a rare find these days in hospo. Thank you for having us :)
J. L.
Gastronomic! Great vibe as well as spectacular food and drinks. Will definitely be returning.
J. N.
Hands down the best meal I have had all year! The food was incredible the service exceptional. It’s an absolute MUST! Yum 😋
P. B.
To the Golden boy team
We are absolutely thrilled with our experience at the Golden boy, in particular a very special thankyou to our impeccable waiter, he was amazing!!! made our evening even more memorable especially as it was a reception dinner for the new bride and groom to be.
The service was incredibly professional the waiter made everyone feel very special and personally concongratulated the bride and groom, all other family requests were respected and accommodate through out the entire evening . We would definitely recommend the Golden Boy tuk tuk banquet
to anyone who would like to have an intimate dinner or a dinner for a group the cuisine could not be fualted at all.
Well done Golden boy , a fantastic effort all round 👏
We will be back to have the same experience again. Especially the cheeky dessert🤣😉
D. A.
My work Christmas do was at Golden Boy, first time for any for any of us.
We were all delighted by the absolutely delicious food. we had the Tuk-tuk and every item on the menu was superb (although one or 2 dishes were a bit hot for one of my colleagues)
The service was spot on too. Thank you Chelsea.
M. H.
The food was fabulous & in copious amounts. Great value for money with the Tuk Tuk Menu. We were well looked after by our main Server, Jed, who was took note of our requests & delivered with grace!
H. M.
Amazing experience. Shout out to the woman who served us, she was the most beautiful soul I've seen since being in Adelaide! She's was as smooth as Tennessee whiskey
I. A.
Great atmosphere, service, drinks and food! Tried some meals I would never have ordered if not for the personalised tuktuk menu. I loved it and can't wait to come back.
K. Y.
Great food, fantastic service. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. Our preferences were well catered to.
M. W.
Good services, great atmosphere and nice presentation
The sashimi is flavourful and tastes very nice.
It has a creamy taste and a little bit of sourness. A unique dish😊
The beef cheek is really really tender. I would like to visit here again just for this dish.
We also ordered grilled prawns. Although the flavour is really nice, the meat of the prawn cannot come out very nicely and it was hard to eat😢
But the pad Thai is really nice. The sauce is pretty sweet comparing to the other restaurants and tastes really good
We had great time here, thank you so much😊
M. S.
By far my favourite place to eat when in Adelaide!
We ordered the 'tuk tuk' which basically meant that food kept coming until we said stop! Every course was better than the last.. And the drinks were superb. We ordered the pinot gris for the early dishes and the GSM for the heavier dishes. Absolutely perfect.
Tried a few cocktails after which were amazingly crafted!
Highly recommended
H. G.
Very good food and service !! A must try .
You can ask the chef to choose what to serve you which makes the experience even better !
W. L.
We heard good things about the place and indeed, It was very busy and crowded. There were 3 of us and we were seated to a small square table. It was not very comfy due to the space constraint but we were glad we made a booking and we didnt have to wait lonh. They took our order by memory without jotting down any note. As a result, we got an extra dish served for free when it got served to our table by error - blessing in disguise. The food was nice though the ceviche was a lil salty. They also got our rice order wrong but it was quickly rectified when we highlighted it. At the end of the night when we got our bill, there were 2 errors. Wrong type of rice billed ( they billed the cheaper jasmine rice though we ate the ginger coconut rice ) and they charged us extra for additional portion of pork belly that we never requested. We highlighted the errors. They asked us how many pieces of pork belly did we get - we said 5. They said normal portion is 4 pieces, and hence $6 was for the additional piece. We relented and just paid for the incorrect bill since we did receive an extra appetizer for free and the staff were friendly. I hope they improve on getting the orders right in future as it is not a good experience to bill customer for things they never requested for.
J. T.
Been here multiple times, and will go multiple in the future. Food and drinks great! Not having to order and just letting it come is the best!
Try the kingfish!
J. 1.
Delicious tasty food, with lots of variety. The reason I'm giving a three is because of some billing errors that weren't appreciated. As we were a group of six, we had the 'Tuk Tuk' banquet which is $58/person. The main course were two curries and it came out with rice which wasn't enough so we ordered a second rice and we were charged for both rice servings, rather than just the extra we ordered - surely the first rice should have been included as part of banquet, especially when it's brought out without asking us if we wanted it and we weren't informed that there would be a cost. The waitress asked us how hot we wanted our meal and as we had mixed responses she said she'd put some chili on the side so those of us who like it hot could add extra chilli - no mention of cost but we were charged around $4. We ordered one sparkling water carafe but were charged for two at $6 each. Lastly I ordered a Bulleit Rye and was charged for a Rittenhouse Rye which is more expensive. Great food, but I won't be back.
A. R.
Beautiful and soooo tasty food, love this place!
k.
FANTASTIC! Don't understand how this works but feels like formal, casual dining.... I'm still trying to work it out in my own head. The food was delicious. Cocktails were delicious and different. Staff were very friendly, chatty, knowledgeable and accommodating. Very good atmosphere, busy but not overcrowded during our visit. It was perfection. Papaya salad took my right back to Thailand; spicy, crunchy, fresh. I love the presentation of the menus and the tuktuk banquet is...... distinct. Sparkling water on tap. Left me hanging for more. I'll be back.
A. A.
Loved the tuk-tuk experience. The soft shell crab and Sichuan beef with the rolled noodles were absolutely delicious. The lychee martini was 👌👌👌 and great service! Will definitely be back again :)
G.
Summary: Come here, you will absolutely love it.
Walked in after spotting it on Google maps, staff were friendly and engaging (head waiter was a total scream). Got some of the best service I've ever had in my life with excellent food to back it up, Cocktails were also spot on.
My wife and I both highly recommend this place to anyone who wants a good night out, a good meal and impeccable service.
Thanks team, when we're back visiting Adelaide, we'll be sure to come visit.
H. J.
Been to Golden Boy on multiple occasions, always consistently good food, a wide selection of great vegan, vegetarian and seafood/meat dishes, always happy to visit. I suggest the set menu.
E. D.
Lovely experience ; food and service is exceptional. Joel who served us in the end was so lovely. Thank you guys 🥰🥰
M. H.
It was our first time at the golden boy n definitely a superb one.the food was scrumptious n the timing was perfect.we tried the tuk tuk experience n loved it.dietary requirements was given utmost importance.they offered halal meat n had assured us of immense care of any cross contamination.will undoubtedly recommend this amazing place for anybody looking to entice their taste buds.
S. G.
Some pretty delicious Thai dishes served up here. Plenty of vegetarian options on the menu. The mushrooms and noodles is the current pick of the bunch. Crazy busy so make sure you book ahead if you're a party of more than one.
J. C. L.
Beautiful place with a great vibe. Asian fusion food. We had ordered the a set menu and I didn't like because it was too spicy. Everything was too spicy. However I went there another time and pick my own dishes and it was a much better experience. I love to seat on the front bar, good spot!! Don't forget to book it is always busy.
蚊.
Recommend by friends to check out the Golden Boy “TUK TUK” experience...
This place can be described with just one word “AMAZING” 🤩 (fast & friendly service as well)
You start off with letting the waiter/waitress your dietary requirements and they work their magic, a short moment later exquisite as amazing flavoured dishes appeared on your table to devour! Nom nom 🤤 -
Will be returning to try other dishes and recommending Golden Boy to friends and family...
Make sure you book in advance - your taste buds will definitely thank you!!!
M. J.
Enjoyed my dining experience here. Fully booked out on weekends (gotta get in early!), couldn’t get a booking in the restaurant even on a week night, had to be seated at the bar area, which was also has private tables and a nice ambience. One of the waitress seemed very rushed and rough towards the end, but otherwise service was quite friendly.
Food was really good. Had the Tuk Tuk and was served with chef’s selection for the night. 4 entrees(kingfish sashimi, pork belly, fried hard boiled egg, crispy fried chicken), 1 main(Green chicken curry with coconut rice to share) and 1 dessert. Highlights were the Kingfish sashimi, Pork belly with apple salad and the Puff pastry with Pandan custard. Great place to dine for an occasion. :)
A. F.
Second time at Golden Boy and it was bang on again.
The serves are generous and the flavours excellent. Didn’t have a bad dish over my two visits.
The massaman beef is outstanding, will be back just for that!
A. K.
Amazing every time. Great customer service. It would be great to see some menu changes on the tuk tuk menu but regardless, it's always a tasty time
J. V.
Amazing, been here several times. Tuktuk is the way to go. Go to try all the different tastes rather than having one main meal. Great food and staff
A. Y.
Great food and phenomenal service.
We did the tuk tuk (banquet menu) - so much food for only $58 per person. We really enjoyed the whitefish shashimi, soft shell crabs, and Massaman curry. Of course, for dessert we had to try all three! The roti won, but the banana fritters were a close second.
The service was absolutely fantastic. The team really looked after us, ensuring we enjoyed the meal and left full.
I would recommend making a booking online. It was pretty full on a Saturday night.
C. C.
So glad to finally try this place. We did the ‘Tuk Tuk’ feed me which has a great selection across the whole menu. Every plate of food was delicious and well thought out. One dish which we didn’t enjoy was an eggplant and squid stir fry, the two textures didn’t work together. Every other dish was packed with flavour. All the servers were friendly and kind. Definitely book in advance as this place feels up quickly.
M. B.
The feed me menu is super generous and at good price. All the dishes are tasty and very well spaces in time .
Staff is friendly and welcoming
R. D.
Excellent food and service.. Having made no booking, they accommodated us at the bar seating. Food was tasty and with great depth and flavour.. The only thing that lacked attention to detail was that they forgot our chicken order and we were left waiting for 20 minutes for the dish to finally come out.
G. R.
Excellent service, enjoyed the waitresses choice option. Everything was so delicious. So much food . Great dining experience.
s. h.
Amazing Thai food.
Loved the Yellow Thai curry and their Baramundi.
Excellent staff.
Menu cannot be altered.
Not Halal
G. L.
Nice food. The pork belly braised is nice but a bit too rich. Nice wine, great service
R. A.
This place is a must. Super delicious food and prompt staff also a great sense of humour and more then happy to accommodate for food allergies. The vegan meals were amazing the eggplant dish was top notch. Nothing bad to say about this place great value also. Will be back ! Keep up the great work!
L. W.
Great tasty food, took me straight back to Vietnam with the beautiful flavours, great service, wonderful ambience.
E. S.
Food was fantastic. Good variety of dishes and all delicious. There was plenty of it too; we had 9 different dishes plus dessert. Not the cheapest but good value for what we got. Decor and atmosphere were nice. Place certainly was busy for a Tuesday night so definitely book ahead.
J. S.
Ate there tonight as part of a group.
Hard to fault their line up. Really enjoyed their 8 hour beef cheek, braised pork belly, green curry chicken., kingfish sashimi and chagrilled pumpkin with crispy seaweed.
L. M.
went with family and got the 'feed-me banquet', food was absolutely delicious. got loads of variety and each dish packed a punch with flavour. will be returning!
C. R.
Not as good as it used to be, our curry was served almost cold, I think the waiter forgot about us. They are obviously short staffed as the service was very lack lustre. The green papaya salad was on point though.
Y. M.
Great service and friendly staff.
We had the Tuk tuk (degustation).
You will not go hungry.
As much as the food was good, it was not the wow factor I have had before.
Not an extensive wine list but you will find good options to match the food.
Breaking down the rating.
Staff - 5 stars
Resturant - 4 stars (turn down the music a bit)
Food - 3 or 4 ( because the last time I had food from there it was a 4 or 5)
I will eat there again.
J. D.
My partner of nine years proposed here for our anniversary dinner. The staff was amazing! Such a great experience! Thank you guys!
M. D.
My partner and I went here for our anniversary and we tried the tuk tuk menu, it was amazing! We were served by Imogen who catered to our needs and made sure we liked everything. She also surprised us with a special dessert which was super thoughtful! Definitely recommend golden boy!
A. M.
Awesome food!Relaxing environment!Friendly staff!Will be back...
K. B.
If you want a place to try Authentic Thai place… this is the best place to go! Amazing food (literally everything) plus service!!🤤🤤🤤
R. H.
We had the Tuk Tuk banquet! The food was awesome and we were full! This place has an awesome vibe too! Will be back for sure!
G. C.
Was highly recommended and didn't disappoint. Food and service were both excellent. We didn't check the bill prior to paying and didn't realise until after that we had a bottle of wine accidentally charged to our table. Raised it with one of the staff and they couldn't have been more understanding/helpful. Refunded the amount immediately. Place was packed and the service was still fantastic with the staff making time for a little chat each time they came to serve the next dish. Will definitely be back and will be another one who recommends to family and friends.
C. W.
Nicest food I have ever had. Just incredible flavours and very well made. They almost try and rush you out however as it seems they get a lot of customers.
C. V.
OMG. We went tuk-tuk ( degustation menu) and it was A-Ma-zing! Food is delicious, staff is super nice, super trendy, cool place. A must go. Just go. Now. Go.
C. M.
Amazing food, friendly and efficient service, gorgeous atmosphere. We enjoyed a beautiful evening here. Following a small hiccup with our meals, staff went above and beyond to look after us. Everything was delicious.
A. T.
Not my cuppa of tea too spicy The table service was fantastic
B. K.
Potentially one of the best set menu experiences I have ever had. So much food and the quality of meals was unbelievable. Well done Golden Boy! Truely memorable experience and will recommend to any of my friends or family visiting Adelaide!
p. m.
Nice food felt authentic and it is comparable to Thailand if any one visited and had food there.
Shared plate was good and enjoyable
I was puzzled to see the double shot size wasn’t comparable? Less in volume to other places!
Update to owners reply:
Hi
your food was good for us and we all liked the food you served to us. Only comment i had was the portions was not correct for a group of 8 people and my comment was on the double shot measure which wasnt right either as i think we were give single shot and charged double !!
This will not deter us not to come to you sicne your food was great in quality and thats what i compared to Thailand food in Thailand!!
E. W.
Great staff. Friendly and happy! Made us all feel like we were apart of the Golden Boy family. The food and wine were abit over priced, but was still delishious, so I was ok with paying for it.
Definitely is a place to go and experience.
S. T.
Amazing food, amazing atmosphere and even better staff. From the moment we walked in the staff were incredibly accommodating, and the lady helping us all night made the night that much more enjoyable!
R. E. (.
Delicious Thai food.
Friendly staff.
Romantic and cosy place.
Enjoyed A lot.
m.
Great service and exceptional food from the Tuk Tuk menu. Well worth a vist
S. C.
Loved our experience here. The food was excellent - we opted for the banquet so we tried a bit of everything. Stand out dishes were the sashimi, eggplant salad, and Sichuan beef. The service was excellent, the staff were super friendly and accommodating. We had a large group and never felt like we were lacking service
M. H.
Every time I go I find myself ordering the same dishes because they’re always so delicious. This time we did their set menu and was blown away - I thought I knew the best of their menu but everything we had was even better! I love set menus as you get to discover new dishes you might not have tried before. I was so full I felt like I needed to be rolled out. Staff were really warm and friendly and gave great service.
J. P.
We had been trying to get a weekend reservation at Golden Boy for weeks without success and eventually opted to dine mid-week to get a reservation. I can see why this place has been so popular and it was certainly worth the wait!
We had their Tuk Tuk menu; both my husband & I are vegan and they catered for us without any issues. The food was plentiful and absolutely delicious. We had so many dishes served and every single one was a joy to eat, some highlights for me were the mushroom pancakes, the larp and the pad thai (which was the best I've ever had!) I have eaten a lot of thai food, but none as good or as unique as what we had at Golden Boy.
Incredible value for money, great atmosphere and space and wonderful service. We will trying to book in again very soon!
S. A.
4 stars as no amex ....
Great food ...very nice experience....team is friendly
K.
I walked in here on Tuesday night. It’s seem like will book out soon. (Recommend to book the table).
K.
Awesome atmosphere and very tasting food. Staff very friendly and helpful!
S. H.
Food excellent. Outside heaters not working on the coldest night in years had to ask for blankets twice. If you are going to make Outside expected for groups over 6 you should give discount for uncomfortable seating and cold, maybe a btl wine or two could have been included.
J. L.
We have dine-in for many times and never had a bad one. Food are delicious and generous. Friendly service and comfortable ambience.
T. K.
One of the best restaurants in Adelaide- a must visit! We had the Feed Me menu which consisted of 6 courses - all tailored to dietary requirements and preferences. The highlights were the fried eggplant, kingfish sashimi and pandan roti for dessert. The cocktail selection is also amazing. The staff were incredibly attentive and friendly which also made it a pleasurable experience. Finally, as we were celebrating a special occasion, the chef presented us with a cheeky dessert dish surprise. 100% would go back- an absolute gem of a restaurant!
J. Q.
Had a fantastic experience served by Amy who was a delight food fantastic will be back
B. L.
Fantastic great food,if you like Thai it won't disappoint.
C. M.
Had an absolutely amazing experience at Golden Boy tonight! Had the Tuk-Tuk menu and the staff were extremely helpful and were able to cater to the vegetarian and pescatarian needs of my boyfriend and I.
All the starters were appropriately sized, which left just enough room for mains and dessert - which were all brilliant btw!
One of the female waitresses in particular (with the orangey/light brown hair) was sooo friendly! We will definitely be coming back for that kind of amazing service again.
Thanks for having us tonight Golden Boy,
we are now 2 very happy (and full) guests :)
J. H.
Food was beyond delicious!! But the stand out was our service from Imogen - she looked after us and was a star, she went above and beyond to cater for my husbands unusual food allergies. Will definitely be going back!
W. P.
Bloody beautiful experience, the food was amazing and the staff went out of their way to cater for our dietary requirements. Would recommend this to anyone in Adelaide keen on a modern Thai experience. We had Jahnvi as a waitress and she was amazing, great service and up for a good chat. We will be back again
L. B.
The best Thai food and dining experience in Adelaide!! We came for a friends birthday and got put in the private dining room. We were incredibly well looked after by the amazing waitress Imogen. The food has such intense and amazing flavors. Highly recommend!!!
C. D.
We have eaten at golden boy multiple times and it never fails to impress. They have the best service (cheers to the person who looked after our table) and the best value for money 'feed me' aka tuk tuk menu. Delicious!
P. S.
Great food and drink selection. Everything is tasty. The venue is comfortable and can accommodate dinner for two or a much larger group. We will definitely be back to taste more of the menu. Feed me option is a great way to explore the menu also - just be hungry when you arrive.
M.
Amazing food made all that much better by our exceptional waiter Emma!
Emma knew what we needed before we did, her service was exceptional, great attitude and presence.
A. C.
It was a very good experience from starting to finish, excellent food and service
B. B.
We have eaten here before and it was amazing.But this time we booked the private dining room for 16 guest, what a fantastic night. Our waitress was so awesome nothing was to much trouble, accommodating to everyone's needs. We had a couple guest with food allergies and the chef had special dishes to suit them. All the food was outstanding we had the feed me / tuk tuk menu ( kingfish & massaman curry were amazing our favourites)
S.
This really is a fantastic place for Thai food, but points off for surly and inexperienced service from our waiter.

Thank you to Lara our amazing hostess for the evening. The service, food and lots of spoiling made for an amazing birthday. Can't thank the Chefs, staff and service enough. Food was just so good. Highly recommend.
R. K.
This place is great! Customer service above and beyond... And that is unusual.
A bunch of us dropped in last Saturday afternoon after a wedding ceremony and before the reception. Enjoyed good wine and some fancy cocktails. And then we asked for food....
The food was even more impressive... The kitchen was closed, but they opened it up early for us and somehow managed to whip up some fabulous food including soft shell crabs, some finger lickin chicken, and much more. Astonishing food. Great service, good venue, and really good people. Thanks guys. Love to go there again.
J. H.
Absolutely amazing food. We had the $65 tuk tuk selection and walked away very happy and full. The staff were extremely helpful and fantastic, asking if we wanted more food, more drinks and asking our dietary requirements so they could change the food if needed. Service was a 5 out of 5 and food was aswell. Definitely recommending to friends

Returend to this place after several years because we had had such a good experience the first time we came and thought it would be an excellent location for a celebratory dinner. Food and atmosphere was divine! Unfortunately though, our server was quite rude and we were very taken back. She started off friendly and then instantly switched. Rolled her eyes when we asked if we could have some more table water. Knocked my friends bag off of her chair when she was walking past and then kindof flicked our dishes onto the table, not acknowledging my friend who by this time had gotten out of her chair to pick up her bag off of the floor. When she came to give us our check, she literally dropped the plate with the receipt onto our table! I was so surprised the plate didn't break. She did not say a thing or make any eye contact with us, and just walked off. We were quite shocked. After we paid she didn't say anythingggg... just walked away without acknowledging whether the payment had gone through and we really didn't know what her issue was. Its was wild haha! Other staff were lovely though. Just this one lass must have been having a auper bad night and let it out on us, which sadly tainted our good views of this place.
A. D.
My favourite spot in Adelaide for good reason, must try! Cocktails and food are top level!
E. G.
Excellent food very filling and delicious. Service top rate.
M. T.
Wow, wow, wow go Tuk Tuk by far the best resteraunt in Adelaide a must. Service exceptional amazing flavour and unique dishes.
J.
Wish I could give it a higher rating! Came here last night with my partner for our anniversary and the atmosphere was impeccable. We came exactly three years ago and were happy to see that despite not much having changed, the restaurant was still bustling and lively. We loved the food and the workers were in perfect synchronisation. As a cambodian, our cuisine is very similar to Thai, which the tuk tuk menu is based on, and I can proudly say that the meals prepared tasted like the chefs knew exactly what they were doing. Can’t wait to visit again!!
J.
Second time at the venue. We were seated for a function outside and the service was slow. We had to have the tuk tuk shared option. Overall food was very good nothing to fault. Only suggestion i can make is that we would have ordered more drinks but a little too slow.
L. K.
We had a great time dining at Golden Boy. Staff is very friendly. The food is very nice. Great atmosphere. It was busy. They are obviously very popular. The staff looked after us very well. Would definitely go back again.
N. C. J.
Heard much about this place and so went for the TUK TUK experience as it is only available due COVID with two seatings. Seated inside to the left where there was a high table with bar stools. Ambiance had good lighting but was on the noisy side with lots of foot traffic and cold drafts coming through as it was cold outside. Food was served on plates which were shared and reminded of a degustation and so the portions were small but due to the number of dishes served half left a little hungry while the other half full. Food presentation was appealing while the taste leaned towards the sweeter side and a few dishes had the same ingredients which was eggplant that evening. Wait staff friendly and the food runners took time to explain the ingredients of the dishes. As it was noisy, we could not really hear it all too well. The pricing is fair while the alcohol is what took the final bill north of 500 for 4 people. If you decide to go, reservations are required as it fills up quickly, ask to sit at a regular table in a quiet zone if possible unless you would like to sit outside.
T. S.
I'm Thai and this thai food was superb! Modern twist but still tasted authentic. Loved the vibe and decor. The staff were super fun and friendly. A great place to have dinner and a couple of drinks. Would go again next time I visit Adelaide. Have reccomended to friends. We ordered the Tuk Tuk menu - would reccomend if hungry. :) Enjoy!
M. B.
This place is pretty authentic! Service is fantastic and the atmosphere is great,Great customer service, beautiful interiors and artwork and the food was delicious. We had the yellow vegetarian curry and the beef cheeks, Will love to come back again to try all the other menu items!
A. M.
One of my favorite places to eat in Adelaide! Great service and great drinks
F. G.
We choose the Tuk Tuk meal. Following a few basic questions by our waiter, we were delivered a range of excellent courses combining seafood meat and vegetarian. Couldn't have been better. Many thanks to the staff
M. H.
Absolutely outstanding! The most professional & friendliest waitress and the food was exceptional! Incredible value for money and loved the cocktails ! Will definitely be returning!
E. M.
Really enjoyable dinning experience. Food was yummy & the service was good. Staff gave us enough time to enjoy the evening by offering enough service without over smothering. Best part of the night was the spacing out of the meals. Highly recommend.
M. F.
My partner and I dined here before a fringe show Wednesday night and had the tuk-tuk style banquet, and wow! Had the opportunity to sample 8 courses, Each better than the last. Delicious food, lovely staff and a great atmosphere what more can you ask for.
Would recommend to all.
K.
The staff were always checking on us and how our meals were going in a way that wasn't distracting from the atmosphere of the restaurant. The food was prepared with utmost attention to detail and was exceptionally scrumptious! We ordered the tasting menu (about 5 courses) and we did not leave hungry!
M. G.
Probably my favourite restaurant in Adelaide! Although it's so expensive I only really go once or twice a year
The food is a modern day take on Thai cuisine, it's incredibly creative, rich and imaginative.
It's best to go with friends and try the TukTuk menu, as you'll get to try a bit of everything!
It is on the spicy side, give it a go, it's delicious!
H. K.
Great customer service, beautiful interiors and artwork and the food was delicious. We had the yellow vegetarian curry and the beef cheeks. The beef cheeks were divine. Will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu!
B. Y.
Had our work Christmas dinner here recently and I would like to thank the team for their excellent service and the DELICIOUS food. The flavours were out of this world and the Tuk Tuk menu was a great way to sample everything. I was a particular fan of the salmon, the soft shell crab and desserts.
O. V.
Beautiful food. Chill vibes and super friendly & helpful staff
C. N.
I can’t believe how amazing the people at this Bar were. We turned up between a wedding and the reception and although they were not officially open and the restaurant was preparing for a wedding as well the guy offered to see what he could do for us. He arranged for us to be downstairs in a private space and provided us with wine. When we asked if it was possible to get any food at all as we had a very hungry Vegatarian marathon runner with us they arranged a vegetarian Korean noodles for her. The next thing we knew we had six plates of the most delicious food we have ever eaten.They went above and beyond and I cannot recommend them highly enough. I will be going back to sample the restaurant next time I’m in Adelaide. Simply amazing service.
R. P.
Only restaurant I repeatedly go back to. So good. If you haven't been, you're missing out. Food and service - always 5 star, never disappoints.
L. R.
Delicious and great vibe. Fair priced banquet and left very content. Nice selection of wines that compliment the food well.
N. M.
Nice decor and good food. Tiny table for three people, so don't go with odd numbers. Pad Thai and curry were very good, but prawns were "meh" and had to be cleaned at the table. Interesting cocktail list, and decent bar selection, though bar service is a little slow.
G. B.
Excellent customer service and fantastic restaurant vibe! It was pretty busy when we got there but they managed to sit us in even without booking. Food was a bit pricey but you get what you pay for! beef and pork are cooked to perfection, the only downside for me is the classic pad thai dish, chicken was so dry, rubbery and overcooked. so I would suggest to stay away from pad thai as it is definitely not worth your $26 but everything else is top notch.
K. T.
Amazing food and service. We had the Tuk Tuk experience and every dish was sensational. Have already recommended it to many friends and family
s.
The two of us started with Lettuce Cups. Enough spice to get thing started, good balance of flavours, really delicious. Mains were green chicken curry, and pork belly with snake beans served with the coconut and ginger rice and eggplant salad. The curry was right on the money with sweet and salt perfectly balanced and nothing out of place. They char-grill their chicken thighs before adding to the curry so you get a subtle charcoal flavour which works very well. Neither of us were huge fans of the pork belly. I found the flavour of the pork a little overwhelming to the point that I was imagining the smell of a truck full of pigs driving past at one point. It wasn't pleasant. There was actually nothing wrong with the pork belly and I'm sure the whole pig truck thing was all in my head. But even my much more gracious wife said she didn't love it. The eggplant salad was a great counterpoint to the rich mains and the smooth and squishy deep fried eggplant in the salad contrasted beautifully with the crisp texture of the bean sprouts. Total cost was $126 including two glasses of wine and a public holiday surcharge. I would certainly go back there again without hesitation but would avoid the pork belly. 4 stars.
D. M.
Been here quite a few times and the food is exceptional as is the service especially on our last visit where we were served by a lovely gentleman called Finn, whose service ensured that we will be returning very soon :)
L. C.
Enjoyed our dinner, the kingfish an absolute highlight. Didn’t love being seated at the bar, considering we had booked well in advance we felt like we were last minute diners
S. H.
Phenomenal service and food! Every dish was a standout, we'll absolutely be back!
M.
Food was good - Chris' service was even better
H. F.
What a classy place! Expensive, but all dishes delicious. Staff were friendly, helpful and prompt. Atmosphere is great especially with the adjoining Botanic Bar where you can also enjoy the meals with some cocktails. Would highly recommend for a special evening, or if you can afford it, every evening!
A. R.
Service, ambiance and cocktails were all great. Food was okay but not as authentic as I would have hoped and mediocre execution. Noodles in the pad Thai were mushy and broken into little pieces (overcooked). Sauce for massaman curry was really thin and lacking flavour. Favourite dish was actually the pork belly pancakes.
E. D.
Great restaurant. The menu is not long however it offers key selection of most prominent cold and warm starters to choose from. The main course selection is OK but could be a bit longer. But still I found my fav meal and luckily the taste were awesome...
J. K.
Let's start with the food... fabulous. We had the veggie feed me menu... We were well fed!
Staff... extraordinary!
Drinks... never seen any barman do the magic he did... waterfalls and all.
Go here!
A. H.
Banquet here is amazing and such good value for money! Staff are also super friendly, will be back for sure!
T. O.
Amazing Thai food that is very authentic and of the highest quality. This restaurant is supported by a friendly team who provide great customer service, they really do go above any beyond with a smile. Thank you Golden Boy!
D. F.
Dined here last night for our friends 40th birthday last night...fantastic food. More of an Australia Thai fusion restaurant than authentic Thai...but netherless a great experience. The food was almost faultless. Our only negative was the chilli level wasn't hot enough....maybe a small bowl of chillies for the people who can handle heat of volcanic proportions. Overall it was an awesome night...particular praise goes to the lovely young lady who took care of our table. She went above and beyond to make our dining experience memorable....and the special banana treat capped off the night. Highly recommended.
B. B.
Absolute legendary staff! Special shout out to John! Extremely professional, well-mannered and sharp. Fantastic food, drinks and very well priced. 5 Star cuisine! Well done and thank you!
D. S.
Had food there recently and it was nothing short of great. I was happy I did. Some of the best food I have eaten in a long time. If you haven't tried here, do yourself a favour and give it a go. Well worth it. The only reason why i gave it 3 star and not 5 was because the service needs to improve. They seemed a bit rude to my wife which i did not appreciate.
K. T.
(first time visitor) Was having my birthday dinner tonight here. Love it! great atmosphere. good food. and a great customer service! the waitress was kind, patience, fun to talk with and knows what she is doing! can't wait to revisit this restaurant in the future!! Highly recommended
N. P.
Amazing food. I highly recommend the banquet
D. S.
The new "Tuk Tuk" style menu is awesome and walked out needing a looser belt.
Ethan did an awesome job on the selection and being a good host for us.
L. R.
The best restaurant in Adelaide, the food is an adventure for your senses, staff were nice and caring, and food was great. I highly recommend it.
D. I.
My partner and I had a wonderful evening at Golden Boy. The food was incredible and the staff were great. There we a few hiccups where drinks weren't brought out, food was placed on the wrong table and the delay between the bill being offered was long and was just dumped on the table instead of the little tray we saw others get it on. All in all it was a great night out. Highly recommended!
B. M.
I've been to Nahm in bangkok, and the flavours at Golden boy were right up there, the service was great. Best meal I've had in Adelaide for a long time, can't fault it.
S. M.
Amazing! We didn’t try the tuk tuk option but the server was so impressive and knowledgeable I have no doubt they’d come up with something great. Everything was delicious with great balance of textures and flavours. The dessert was incredible as well, one of the only Asian desserts I’ve truly loved. Come here with a bunch of friends (and remember to book) and you’ll have a great time.
J. S.
Great food. Service was ok, tables are too close together. Definitely go for the food though.
J.
This was an absolute highlight of visiting Adelaide. If you like Thai food - you must try here!
I recommend getting the Tuk Tuk (banquet) option where the staff pick what they think will be best for you - $64 a head and you get 6 courses. No one left hungry and every meal was amazing.
I’ll be back!
O. S.
The Tuk Tuk (essentially all you can eat until you’re full) is the best $64 you will spend. Delicious Asian/fusion cuisine. The service is second to none. P.S - THE. BEST. SOFT. SHELL. CRAB!
k. s.
This place is incredible! Best restaurant in Adelaide! We liked it so much we came back again the next day to try a different set of dishes. The Tuk Tuk option is great - it's a tapas-style 6/7 course set meal. We had it on both nights. On the second night the chefs/waitstaff were incredibly accomodating, letting us hand pick the courses we wanted to try. The service was great, especially Enoch and Emma, who went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time!!
L. C.
Really great vibe and very friendly staff who helped advise us on what to choose from the menu. I think it’s always difficult when somewhere gets such a fantastic reputation to not feel a little bit let down when you try the food for yourself. Not that it wasn’t good, it just probably didn’t live up to expectations.
A. P.
We had 9 people and had a customised Tuk Tuk banquet serving.
For the price, the amount of food is phenomenal! We all left totally full and satisfied, and raving about the variety of dishes full of flavour.
Good food, good quality ingredients and wonderful efficient customer service. It's easy to see why at 9pm on a Wednesday they're still fully booked.
P. M.
Possibly the best food in Adelaide but the espresso martini is literally the worst I've ever had
S. W.
Food was amazing and atmosphere was great. Service was super slow though, we stood in the waiting area for around 15 minutes before one of the waiters acknowledged us. We were told it was a share plate restaurant but wanted to get something each for ourselves and felt quite patronized when ordering, being asked multiple times if we were sure that's what we wanted to do and wouldn't rather change our order. It really brought down the experience for us.
D. F.
Best Thai food in Australia!!
I take my hat off to the chef, the staff and the phenomenal manager.
The food is consistently delicious and slaps you left right and centre with flavour.
Golden boy has it all: “atmosphere, food, wine and service” what more could one ask for.
F. K.
Came here because they reviews were so positive. We chose the Tuk Tuk menu and cannot say it was impressive. The food was different however not worth 64 pp. The roti dessert came out soaking and dripping with oil so we had to leave it. Good service though.
M. B.
BOOK IN ADVANCE! I went stag and they had to look around to fit me in. And it's a meal you don't want to miss. Has a bit of a rushed feel, but that's only because it's so busy. Food, amazing. Decor, amazing. Staff, amazing.
J. M.
Great Asian dining. Food is absolutely flawless and with every penny. The staff are extremely helpful. If you don't know what you want ask them and they will surely decide for you. You won't be disappointed. I have been many times when I've been in Adelaide and will go again when I return. Well done Golden Boy!
A. M.
Was recommended by a workmate and it did not dissapoint: totally awesome food and staff could not have been more welcoming.
We went for the Tuk Tuk menu which was made fully vegan for us. I left feeling totally full (rare) with food that made the best use of flavor I have had in a long time.
Good job Golden Boy!
A. J.
Great food and great service. I would recommend this to anyone. Left the restaurant feeling very satisfied.
E. C.
Loved this place! First time I had thai food and for me was the best experience ever. Nice staff and very professional cooks. Highly recommended! Thank you Carlos, Ali, Imogen and everyone who made our night special 🌟
T. C.
A fun place for all ages. If you think this is a place you will frequent a lot, check into the family pass. Surprisingly affordable and a way better deal than 1 day admission.If you have small ones, they have a great area for them to play in. This Science Center has a lot of interactive/hands on activities for kids (and adults) to enjoy.
K. C.
Tried out the tuk tuk banquet with a group of four and everyone loved it. The restaurant was booked and so we were seated in the Botanic Bar. Great prompt service and delicious food. Personally I think $58 is on the pricier side for a banquet but perfect for us indecisive folk who get food envy when everyone else's dishes come out! We got a great selection of food and noone left hungry. Plus a nice touch that you can tailor to your tastes and select particular dishes you like the sound of or have had before. Would definitely recommend. Book early if you want to be seated in the restaurant itself. As a side note the Botanic also does delicious mocktails for us pregnant ladies!
L. T.
The food, the service, the atmosphere as well as the decor were best. We had Thai food and a desert that came straight out of haven. It is the house staple so they tell you when you ask for it. To be recommended at all cost.
J. B.
As a first time visitor and not knowing what to expect we opted for the Tuk Tuk curated menu and were glad we did. Seven dishes in all and all delicious. The soft shell crab and beef cheek were the highlights but the dishes offered in the Tuk Tuk can change apparently so be aware. Highly recommend
A. Z.
Great service, the girls were incredibly friendly which made it a really comfortable atmosphere. Food didn't disappoint, all round pleasant experience.
B. F.
Really great food accompanied by fantastic service. We dined on a Friday evening. Favourite meals were the beef rib and coconut chicken. We opted for the feed me menu which we struggled to eat all of. Next time in town we will only eat here.
K. J.
We had the tuk tuk (Chef's choice) menu- which was great. BUT...the bar staff were so ridiculously slow with our very simple drinks order (no complex cocktails- just a glass of bubbly and a bottle of white wine) that we had already had TWO COURSES by the time our drinks came. Luckily we didn't die of thirst in the meantime as the waiting staff brought a bottle of water to the table. They really need to get their act together with the drinks at this place; we had the same experience - of extremely slow delivery of drinks orders the last time we were at Golden Boy. If I was slaving over a hot stove in the kitchen I would be furious if the wonderful food I was producing was sullied by lazy and lackadaisical drinks service.
M. M.
It was hands down the best Thai we have ever had. In fact the best restaurant in Adelaide. The customer service was exceptional too! Thank you Jahavni!
B. C.
We did the "tuk tuk" menu and now that I've experienced it I wouldn't do anything else. Every dish that came out was just amazing - somehow they were like nothing I've ever tasted before, yet had all the familiar Thai flavours. Unique but familiar? The best thing about the tuk tuk menu is that they told us if we came in again, we could try different things next time - it's not the same each time (and seemed to differ from table to table as well). Love this.
G. W.
We were served the tuk til menu. There was good variety across the course/menu and all of the food was incredibly delicious. Would defiantly recommend for a special occasion.
K. M.
This is one of my favourite Adelaide restaurants. Exceptional service and food, a total winner for a nice night out. Opt for the Tuk Tuk menu and let the waiters and chefs work their magic with a selection of fab food. You'll leave very happy.
G. L.
Great food, great staff. The bar side is better as its less rowdy. Food is always excellent and is best shared. Lots of delicious dishes to choose from.
T. R.
In Adelaide. Absolutely fantastic asian cuisine in a relaxed atmosphere. Very busy but the service from Nathan was excellent. We had tuk tuk. A taste of a mix of five or six dishes to your own taste. Whole crumbed Barramundi, deboned with a tasty refreshing salad. Sashimi, Chicken. Also Masaman curry and rice, Beef cheek in an exceptionally tasty sauce. Lastly a simple dessert with a delicate custard. This is all a must for food lovers . I will place this as one of the best food experiences ever.
s. a.
I’ve worked here a couple of times and mates with the staff. But also I’m brutally honest so take this as you will.
If you are after big, bold and tasty flavours. Also funky music and fast pace atmosphere then this is the place. The tuk tuk menu is bang on for amount but easy on the wallet.
This place is for first dates or the start of a big night out. Suits a young to middle age crowd.
E. R.
Mmmm this takes me back to the streets of Bangkok with a healthy dose of great Adelaide produce and a sparkle of modern tastes.
Fantastic food and excellent service are worth coming back for.
Could not fault any thing!!!!
Choose the TuK-TuK menu and leave it up to the staff.
They know what’s best
B. S.
I liked the food, however, they could improvise on their service because i wasn't happy with the time they kept taking to get us our orders. They missed a couple of dishes here and there. But the ambience made up for it
F. H.
Food was tasty, but service was really not good. Made you feel like you didn't really deserve to be there, and your custom wasn't needed. In a city of brilliant dining experiences I don't think I'll be going back.
R. M.
FaNtAsTiC restaurant. Often eat at this restaurant and highly recommend it to all. The food is great but what really makes the restaurant standout - the brilliant staff and this is one of the reasons I keep returning... John is a legend and on power with the lovely red headed Emma! See you soon.
K. S.
We had the Tuk-Tuk which is $58 a head feast. The food kept coming and we were given over 14 different dishes from across the menu including dessert. Everybody was full... Even over full. The food was delicious. Some of the starters were extremely spicy. Be aware of the spicy chicken lettuce cups, they will blow your mouth up they are so spicy. Same with the soft shell crab. The coconut creme caramel and pan fried roti with Pandan custard was DELICIOUS! Don't miss the pork pancakes. One of the best dishes. The service was a little poor. The plates kept piling up and weren't getting cleared. They didn't even come and take empty bottles until we piled them on the plates.
P. S.
I had just gotten back from Byron Bay and told my girlfriend that we had to go someplace great to keep my good-food-high going. Labelled the Chin Chin of Adelaide it certainly did the job, but I personally think it's better than Chin Chin. Ok waay better! Good table spacing, wasn't noisy or overcrowded, reservations possible, and the food was just fabulous. So fabulous I went the second night, by myself, to eat the same dish! It was the pork shoulder jungle curry - YUM!
J. A. L.
WOW. This is probably one of the best Thai restaurants I have been to in Australia. We had the Chicken Pad Thai and King Prawns in a Tom Yum Reduction. It was so good!
T. H.
Tasteful, comfortable setting. Outstanding, prompt service and easily best Thai food I have experienced. Nice bar for a drink too. Have been back and just as good second time :)
C. Y. (. C.
Amazing atmosphere and the tuk tuk experience was incredible. The Pandan roti is a MUST.
J. O. (.
Absolutely amazing food!!! 100% BRILLIANT customer service!! Went there tonight expecting a typical restaurant and experienced a whole new level of Thai food via a banquet... WELL WORTH THE MONEY AND THE EXPERIENCE!! Ratung 5 star all around, good vibes, good food, good customer service, perfect company!absolutely recommend thia place to anyone wanting a nice relaxong evening out with a good atmosphere or even a romantic date night.... will definitely be visiting again in the near future.
J. S.
That was seriously good food and prompt friendly service. Thai yes, but taken up to a whole new level.
I would say the best restaurant food I have had for some time.
We all shared a TUK TUK "banquet" for only $58 a head and I cannot recommend it highly enough . All together a wonderful dining experience
B. K.
The fastest and friendliest service. For two people we had drinks, starters and a main all finished within an hour. Golden Boy has an extensive menu and is great to share. Just be wary as some people may not like the spice!
M. M.
This place is pretty authentic! Service is fantastic and the atmosphere is great. Highly recommend the roti with pandan sauce for dessert. Will love to come back again to try all the other menu items!
M. A.
Great food and good atmosphere/ambiance. If you brave the tuk tuk menu then prepare for a lot of food! If you are full and they offer to you to skip a course ask them to bring it anyway and get it boxed up for takeaway... otherwise you are charged for it regardless! Very welcoming and friendly staff.
B. M.
Went for the Tuk Tuk (just feed us) option. It was okay... a lot of effort obviously goes into the preparation but I wouldn't rave about it or venture back in a hurry. The best part of the evening was a very nice French chablis.
S. (.
Great restaurant!
I walked in to a refurbished colonial building, was immediately seated with a great staff member, who was super friendly and helpful.
I had two courses and some rice and it all lovely. Definitely recommend a visit
H. A.
Fantastic food.. Fantastic staff.... only minor suggestion could be to slow the pace.. but really..it was great
L. M.
A great Thai food experience in Adelaide. The tuk tuk option is a great way to try a lot of the food from their menu.
K. A.
This was our first visit after it being highly recommended. We ordered the Tuk Tuk and it was a great experience. Staff were lovely, even the customers were super friendly during our time there. Highly recommend the Tuk Tuk, it's a great opportunity to try foods you wouldn't normally order and it was all fantastic.
E. T.
Good service and delicious food. But it would be nice to be able to book a table without having to do the banquet.
R. M.
Simply amazing food and service. We had the feed me menu and left very full and satisfied. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Adelaide!
J. T.
We had a fabulous meal there and sweets, the service was amazing especially our host Lara was amazing, we couldn't ask for anything else, worth the money , we will definitely be back again.
Thankyou Lara 😊
T. P.
Great food selection, all delicious. The tasting menu is a bit pricey but you get to try so many things! Nice atmosphere too
T. B.
Food and service was amazing.
Did the Tuk Tuk menu, will definitely be back.
G.
Food incredible, every single dish they brought out was better than the last, very friendly staff and for what you get I actually felt it was very good value.
E. T.
Nice food and fancy presentation. A bit too expensive for what you get served, but I guess they target their restaurant for the more wealthy. Otherwise great service and lovely atmosphere inside and out. I'd give you 5 stars if I was rich and could afford everything without a worry 😂
L. L.
Was recommended this restaurant by a local and was not disappointed. The menu looked amazing and it was difficult to decide, so we cried 'tuk tuk' and let them take over. The food was amazing, the service incredible, the ambiance and experience will not be forgotten. If you have the chance to stop by Golden Boy, do it!
S. F.
Very busy and hard to get a seat so making a booking is essential but my my god the food was amazing, the staff was more than friendly and I honestly can't say anything bad about this place. Came as a group and everyone has returned giving great reviews.
C. K.
Dinner for 2, had the TUK TUK where they bring multiple dishes/ courses. Food was high quality, filling and brought out fast. Service was fast, attentive and friendly. Definitely enjoyed the dining experience 👍
J. P.
Always great food and atmosphere
G. A.
Amazing place! There is a banquet which is definitely worth doing, better to book before you go but if you are a small group they will always accommodate you. Great service, friendly staff, delicious food.
L. P.
We visited on a Friday night and it was very busy. Bookings absolutely necessary. Staff were very attentive and the food was so so good. Highly recommend the beef cheeks. Would come back
s. M.
We went as a group with a set price for entrees and mains.
Such tasty food.
Good quality produce mouth watering presentation.
Simplistic presentation eye catching walls and loved the seating arrangement.
Best tumeric spatchcock and pad Thai dish.
Going to try and replicate the Wagu beef mussaman curry.
Thanks Luke and the team for such a great night.
C. S.
The food is as good as it gets.. and plenty of it
L. M.
Great atmosphere with friendly and helpful staff. The food was fabulous and seemed to just keep coming with the Tuk Tuk menu.
d. t.
Our server was so fantastic. Attentive without being intrusive, such great food and service, thank you
R. R.
Wow. Very good in so many ways
F. H. S.
Tuk Tuk is an excellent set menu, can insert your preferences
Perth should have one

Hands down THE.BEST.MEAL.I.HAVE.HAD.IN.MY.LIFE.EVER .... Excellent service and ever single dish was a-maz-ing (with the exception of the barramundi, but we'll overlook that). Busy night and we were put at the bar in the back overlooking the hustle and bustle of the kitchen - great spot to be. Thanks Golden Boy, you were all Golden Girls and Boys.
K. M.
Excellent food. The tuk tuk option is great for groups as you get a little bit of everything on the menu and they are very accommodating of dietary restrictions. The atmosphere is fun, but laid back.
S.
Food was awesome, great variety and amount. Service was on point.
T. F.
Truly amazing food. The tuktuk tasting menu was really really nice and very reasonably priced. The service was great too. Probably the best thai food i have had in a very long time.
S. F.
Very nice and friendly staff whom know all their foods and explain them well. Food was delicious and value for money portions.
The tuk tuk "package" is nicely designed so you cab try a lot of courses from the menu, including personal favorits.
Great place to dine in.

a little loud and less than romantic main table but the food is good
S. M.
Amazing tasting Thai food. 2nd best Pad Thai I've ever had. Not going to say what the best Pad Thai is 😉
K. Y.
Flavoursome food, attentive service.

Awesome dining experience for me and the hubby. Been here a few times and was always impressed with the attentive staff and quality and variety of the foods.

Golden Boy is Adelaide's answer to Melbourne's Chin Chin; except Golden Boy does it better. The restaurant was hustling on the Thursday night we went, great selection of wines and all available by the glass. The food is so full of flavour sensation it will blow your socks off; let the guys take care of you. We chose the Tuk-Tuk menu choice, and shortly thereafter we must have tasted anywhere between 8-10 plates, all of them as exciting as the next. Great atmosphere and value for money, but slugged with a 3% AMEX surchage AND a 25c credit card fee.

The green curry was very good. Service was nothing special, but acceptable. Make sure you book as I got turned away twice when they were at capacity.
J. W.
Where do I start from the moment u walk into this establishment you feel welcome and a good vibe. Very Melbourne and cool the food and recommendation where on point. The cocktail bar next door is superb. Must try will be back
A. N. G.
Lovely space with great food and good service. Very reminiscent of Chin Chin in Melbourne - no bad thing! - though a fair bit calmer. Head next-door to the Botanic Bar for a drink before or after and make a night of it.
J. S.
Great food, great service. A group of friends had a very enjoyable evening with wonderfull food and service, highly recommended.

Thai fusion restaurant which offers amazing tasty food. Had the kingfish entre, green curry chicken and barramundi fish. The entre was surprising small but really tasty while the green curry was exceptionally good. Bring a date here. It is quite pricey (paid $62 for two people).
S. A.
Excellent food, great variety, enjoyed every dish we were given as part of the 'tuk tuk', excellent service

Incredible food, service, drinks and overall atmosphere. I get the tuk tuk every visit and am always over fed (no complaints)!
I. T.
Great food and service, however, far too noisy. Unable to completely enjoy the food experience due to having to yell to the person opposite me in order to be heard - some noise reduction methods needed here
J. J.
Always fresh food, full of flavour and great value for money, especially the tuk tuk, it always has me rolling out the door. We love this place.
a.
Amazing thai food with great service, the waiting staff are informative and efficient. The Tuk Tuk menu is highly recommended as it is catered to your tastes. A must go to restaurant in Adelaide.
C. M.
Pretty delicious, we had the "tuk tuk" which is basically the tasting menu - really great combination of flavours, great service, and prettt good value for money. Great bar too!
H. P.
Sat at the kitchen bench and marvelled at the skilz of the staff. For $58 you can sample the much eats of the chief. All I can say is the quality was soooo high it can not be over praised. Adelaide's best date night? - Found it!
N. N.
Excellent food, staff were friendly and cool vibes. Got the 8hr slow cooked beef cheeks and it was amazing.

S. M.
Amazing! We didn’t try the tuk tuk option but the server was so impressive and knowledgeable I have no doubt they’d come up with something great. Everything was delicious with great balance of textures and flavours. The dessert was …

Food was nice but not outstanding, and was also on the salty side. The tom yum was nice and authentic, however everything was mediocre. Expensive for the food they serve.

I have to say we had a really good experience but I forgot to take photos. Highly recommend the barramundi and cocktails. Good atmosphere and friendly staff ladies.

We only came for drinks, however, the service was great and the Napoleonic theme was an interesting talking point along with the honeycomb decorations on the ceiling.
M. R.
What's not to like. Amazing food. Great service. Best results when you let the staff guide you thru the menu.
A. H.
Great venue. Flavour bomb dishes. Definitely recommend.

K. M.
Absolutely fantastic meal and the staff are super attentive. They know what they are talking about and I highly recommend the 'tuk tuk' option on the menu every time.

Came here because they reviews were so positive. We chose the Tuk Tuk menu and cannot say it was impressive. The food was different however not worth 64 pp. The roti dessert came out soaking and dripping with oil so we had to leave it. Good service though.
