Recently opened in Woodville Gardens, specialises in Asian food with Thai cuisine being a key part of its menu. Its head chef is notable for having worked at various well-known restaurants in Adelaide, among them Gin Long Canteen and Golden Boy.

When ordering their non-noodle dishes, diners have the choice of having it accompanied with rice or as a main sized serving by itself. The pork belly in the Spicy Roasted Pork Belly had succulent flesh set off by crisp crackling. Green beans added a bit of extra texture and the sauce that the pork was stir-fried in gave the dish a spicy flavour that was not too hot.



The pork in the Korean Sesame Pork Stir-fry was cooked just right and sesame sauce imparted its distinctive nutty taste to the dish. While not stated on the dish's description on the menu, the dish included kimchi to provide a hint of heat. Freshness was provided by shredded cabbage and carrots that the pork was served on.



Their Kapoa Chicken dish had enough chicken mince to make eating the dish a satisfying experience. It had a characteristic flavour from the basil that the chicken was cooked with. The dish packed a fair amount of heat but it should still be suitable for most tastes.



The rice noodles in the Pad Thai were not too soft and the chicken, tofu and prawns tossed throughout it were cooked to perfection. The sauce used for the dish gave it a bit of a sweet flavour with a bit of crunch provided by the bean sprouts and topping of crushed peanuts. A lemon wedge was provided on the side for those that desire to add a hint of tanginess to the dish.



Their Crispy Beef was not too tough and the coating did a good job of setting off the flesh. While the dish's description mentioned that the beef tossed in a hot and sour sauce, the taste of the sauce was actually more similar to plum sauce.



The beef in their Massaman Beef Curry was tender and cubes of potato provided a change of texture. The curry gravy had a fair amount of heat and peanuts provided the dish with a nutty flavour.



While it is spicier than the Massaman Beef Curry, the degree of heat of the Choo Chee Chicken should still be suitable for most tastes. The chunks of chicken were cooked just right and complemented nicely by the eggplant. The curry gravy had a touch of sweetness.



One of the smaller entrée-sized dishes, their Korean Chicken Wings were juicy with the coating contrasting well with the flesh. The spiciness of the Korean sauce they were tossed in is suitable for those not used to spicy food and was of a consistency that did not mar the wings' crisp coating.



An off-menu dish we were able to request to have prepared, the vegetables in the Stir-fried Mixed Vegetables still retained a bit of bite. A contrast of texture was provided by mushrooms. The sauce used for the dish had a delectable savoury flavour.



The restaurant is small and primarily caters to takeaway orders but there are still a few tables for dine-in customers. A carpark at the back provides convenient off-street parking for customers.
