    Tasty food, friendly service. My only issue is that my second glass of wine didn’t arrive but it was very busy. Plenty of vegetarian options. I would definitely come here again.

    We told the waitress we had a show booked so were limited with time. Drinks were slow and after a wait of 45 minutes we discovered they had lost our order. Delivered food to our table that wasn’t ours and ended up leaving with our meal in takeaway containers. Very disappointed as we have eaten there before and have been happy.

    Always busy which shows how popular this restaurant is. Food delicious, service efficient and prompt which is great when on a deadline to get to the Fringe shows

    The waitress was surly and got the order wrong, twice. The chicken satays tasted like kentucky fried chicken on a stick covered in peanut sauce that was mostly peanut butter. The spring rolls and curry puffs were very average. According to their signage they are award winning - what for? A terrible experience no doubt

    Unfortunately, although the food, when we finally got it was great, the service left a lot to be desired. Waited an hr for our meals, asked 4 separate staff members how long it was going to be & no one got back to us. First night of the fringe & they were very obviously short staffed, all the staff were under so much pressure & looked highly stressed, I really felt for them. Won't be back in a hurry.

    cold chilled water on arrival, which was welcomed in the 38 degrees. Quick service and generous sized meal. A menu of many options; plus a wine list. Would have liked to have been seated at a more spacious table, instead of against the wall and kissing the neighbouring chair - with an early booking and half full restaurant, really should have been offered a more spacious area (then again, we could have asked). Attentive service throughout dining. A great restaurant when eager for Thai and off to an event or cinema soon after

    Very good food and service at this family owned business of 40 years. Have dined here on previous visits to Adelaide and never been disappointed with the food. Adelaide resturants and bars have been busier with the car rally

    Really enjoyed the food and it was a Monday night and quieter so we also could talk and enjoy conversation with an overseas visitor.

    Attentive service and easy to follow menu. Clearly stated cost of any extras and a children's section on the menu. We were going to a play that started at 6.30 so appreciated that we were able to book for 5pm.

    Great place to grab a quick bite before a show midweek. Loved the 30% offer, but had to request it upon settling the bill. I thought this was odd, since we had booked through the app. Anyway, they were good about it and honoured the deal. The food was lovely.

About the restaurant

Terrific Thai

Since the 80s there's been one restaurant that has been consistently serving Adelaide locals authentic, award winning flavours from Thailand - it's Cafe Michael 2. Driven by a passion for travel, a palate for freshness, and a desire to share fresh flavours with others, this family owned restaurant is a local gem. They've got all your Thai favourites, cooked and presented in a street food style - there's panang curry, pad thai, soups, stir fries and much much more! The authenticity maintained by the chefs who hail from Thailand is second to none.

Best Dish: crispy chicken with garlic and sweet chilli dipping sauce
