Having read all the google reviews we decided to eat at Baan Thai tonight. We have been looking for a good Thai restaurant in this neighbourhood for a while but what a disappointment! The mixed entree of pandan chicken, satay chicken, spring rolls and larb was ordinary to say the least with the chicken way over cooked and the sauces apart from the peanut sauce were way too sweet and sticky. We also ordered the chicken and basil stir fry which was unremarkable and to accompany it we ordered Pad Thai. Now one would think a Thai restaurant would know how to cook a decent Pad Thai. The dish we were served was just awful.....gluggy noodles, overcooked funny tasting prawns and a very unpleasant taste. We did mention it to the staff who expressed their disappointment but no-one seemed to be concerned that a customer was dissatisfied and the uneaten Pad Thai sat in front of us for quite sometime. Surprisingly no-one was in a hurry to clear the plate away. I was even more surprised when they asked what we wanted to do and got a quizzical look when I suggested they remove the cost of the dish from the bill. However they did not charge us for it (I was not going to pay for it anyway) and unfortunately we won't go back to eat there again.

Horrible services and foods. First time, I went to the restaurant at 4:30, first customer, I ordered take aways and waited for my foods, 2 tables came after me but got served before me. I waited more than 30 mins for my food. I ordered whole barramundi with spicy sauce, fish was ok, sauce was too liquid, not much chili, garlic and herb in it. Second time I ordered Thai style chicken basil. OMG, I did believe that the chef didn't taste the food before serving or he might have dropped the whole jar of sugar onto my food. So sweet, even me who prefer my food to be a little sweet couldn't handle it. I ate 1/4 of that meal and threw it away. Even I have a chance to go back to Adelaide, I will not go back to your restaurant again. Stay away for them.

Great little gem of a restaurant that deserves their success- great tasting food in a family-style environment Well cooked Thai food is always a winning combination, and this place is no exception. Where they separate themselves from others is the environment you walk into Coming in, you feel as though you've walked into someone's house that loves Thai culture - you're immediately surrounded by decor that feels like a transportation to the countries the food comes from Pair this with dedicated staff serving delicious food and you've got a winning combination. This place feels a bit tucked away, but I am so glad we ate here - others should definitely try

Such a surprise to have this quality little restaurant in Magill. The food is lovely, the service people are always sweet. We are in the industry and eat here nearly every Sunday after cooking for our Adelaide Farmers market stall. The prawn cakes are incredible (you must try them). We also eat pandan chicken, drunken noodles, Tom Yum Gai (one of the best, if not the best I've ever had), panang beef and tamarind duck, but anything you choose there would be great I'm sure. They are just some of our faves. The restaurant fit out is so over the top. Makes it a lot of fun to dine in. Always leave full and with a smile, and we are very choosey with where we eat. Enjoy

Unfortunately the restaurant was reasonably full with minimum staff...we arrived on time but waited 1.15 mins before being served meals ...prawns were in short supply to say the least..however meals were delicious...obviously the one lady was trying her best but was stressed...another lady did eventually assist.....the staff was apologetic and pleasant..thanking us for our patience...we were understanding but recommend they have staff in reserve to cope with unforeseen situations.

We went to Baan Thai on a Saturday evening and had Green Curry Chicken, Choo Chee Chicken and Stir Fried Seafood with Basil. The food was very good and our service was good, given the fact it was very busy. I was interested to read other reviews before we went and one mentioned that they did not offer complimentary water. This was not the case. We asked for water and were given a carafe of chilled tap water and glasses. We also took a bottle of wine and were given a lovely cooler for the table with ice at the bottom. I recommend this restaurant if you like simple Thai food with very good ingredients.

Food is great and very polite staff aside from Rick (the old dude) who was a bit rude to us. I had a 2 year old with me and upon arriving my son was very enthusiastic with the wooden elephant and this guy Rick immediately told us to take him out of the cups who are inside a closed cabinet anyway. (Which my son was actually not paying attention to it). And when we where about to order, my son was looking on the menu as well a bit rough but not in the sense he will destroy the menu and he immediately grab the menu to us saying it is expensive. Well, I find this very strange and oddly rude.

Dissatisfied with their service. My friends got served each other's meals by a young lad who appeared to have no experience. No one supervised him. The elderly woman tried to tell us that Pad Thai and Drunken noodles are the same except for basil additional. I don't think so as I can actually cook. We all agreed our meals were second class. My chicken was cheap stir fry and what appeared to be frozen carrots. Then charged us full price for their mistake. Definitely won't recommend or go back. Plus the owner threatened me about making a unsatisfactory review.

Ordered veg green curry and asked for some specific ingredients to be put into it. Lady who took the order confirmed that it will be added. Then while picking up the order as well I reconfirmed with her about the specific ingredients. When we reached home and opened our order, the same ingredient was missing. Upon calling them, the lady who took the order put the blame back on me about how I ordered, and suggested that I come back to pick up another one and PAY FOR IT. Are you seriously running your business like this Baan Thai?

Authentic Thai Restaurant well located in the heart of Magill. Friendly staff and the atmosphere feels much like restaurants in Thailand. I only had take away from Baan Thai, but the portions were generous and the food tasted fresh. It was also kind of the staff to offer me a drink while I waited for my take away order. Only one comment would be to put more spice and flavor into the food to make it taste further Thai, this may be done to attract a larger demographic of people who cannot handle spice.

Eaten here at least monthly for 3 years. Never, and I mean NEVER, had a bad experience. It is such a reliable and fantastic restaurant. We've moved further away and will still be getting takeaway from here. Our favourites are their Penang beef, Pandan chicken, barramundi with choo chee sauce & pad Thai noodles (although their drunken noodles are equally tasty). Thank you for supplying us with food for so many celebrations with so many different people who all loved your food.

I order from here on a semi regular basis and I always order the same dish - vegetarian pad thai with tofu. How many different variations do you think I get of this dish? Sometimes no tofu, sometimes all noodles and no vegetables, sometimes no egg. Is it really that hard to get it right? Each time I order I draw this to their attention yet still they get it wrong. Thankfully the food is good otherwise I wouldn't bother coming back.

Ive just finished a very yum meal! I had the green chicken curry, the chicken was tender and well cooked. The vegetables still had that crunch where also the broccoli heads soaked up the star of the dish. The sauce! Complex flavours, medium heat and slight sweetness that leaves you craving more. If it wasnt socially unacceptable id just drink that sauce from a mug. The cashew chicken had great flavours too.

Love the food at Baan Thai. We've been there several times and order take away as well. We order coconut juice - so refreshing and delicious, spring rolls, coconut rice, massuman beef, penang beef and stir fried vegs with chilli and basil. The atmosphere is great and so is the decor. Also, most of the cabinet displays are for sale, my in-laws bought me some tea cups - absolutely gorgeous.

We ordered takeaway and were disappointed. Food warm, not hot. Pandan chicken overcooked to the point of being a solid dry lump. We have patronised Baan Thai many times over the years, but recently we feel that the quality has dropped off. We will try elsewhere for Thai food in future

Been coming here for years but hadn't been for quite a while until a couple of weeks ago. The food is still as good as it ever was - has always been fantastic. The owners are friendly and service is good, even when they are busy (and it does get packed). Love the ambience too with the Thai decor . My favourite local restaurant and one of the best Thai restaurants in Adelaide.

We have discovered BaanThai about 8 months ago Have been back regularly Can't describe just how good the food is and the staff are so friendly and accommodating (Don't forget to book) Cliff& Deb

Both the service and food were excellent. While I had the Choo Chee Barramundi (generous helping and beautifully-weighted chilli in the sauce), herself and others at our table had the Duck Tamarind, as recommended by the host. We are generally NOT duck fanciers but I have to say that it was the best duck dish EVER! Great surrounds. We shall be back!

Always delicious, my daughter says it is the best Pad Thai she has ever had. We also enjoyed the Basil Beef and the Massaman Beef. Generous serves and excellent quality with fresh ingredients. Great local business.

We stopped in here for a meal whilst travelling through Adelaide tonight. What can I say... they're food is absolutely amazing. My wife had the Tom Yum Goong, I had the Beef Massaman Curry. We haven't had such great thai food since being in Thailand on a holiday. We'll be coming back on our way through again. Highly Recommended.

The food price on menu is 8/10. The food tasted good. The amount of seafood given is more than some other restaurants. Therefore I will give the food 9/10. Not really a bit fans for their desserts, but I am not here for their dessert anyway. On the other hand, I really like their prawn cake. I will go back for the prawn cake.

Dissapointed really: 1) Phoned 2 hours before we wanted to pick up the order but was still 20 minutes late. 2) Asked for one of the dishes to be mild but was as hot as one of the other similar dishes we ordered, so that went to waste. 3) Asked for 2 of a same dish but only got 1. (fortunately was only charged for 1).

This is our family favourite restaurant. Always great - Petch went over and above with her service and genuine friendliness. The food is amazing. Highly recommend the massaman beef, any egg plant dish and fish. We were recommended to try the black pepper beef and my 9yrs old loved it. Don’t overlook it.

This restaurant used to be really good but service and food quality is very hit and miss these days. The owner is dismissive of any complaints and you are lucky if you get what you ordered. Def wouldn't recommend the pandan chicken. It is deep fried and very dry as a result. Take your chances I guess.

Love the food. We'll treat ourselves here about 3 times a year. This occasion the food delivery was a bit mixed up hence the four stars for service but I don't remember mix ups on previous occasions. Staff are friendly and patient with kids.

I didn't try the food yet (on my list to try) but i must say the place is very beautiful the decorations and the theme feels like being in thailand. The smells of the food lingers in the restaurant is mouth watering. Great friendly staff

We had dinner here one night. We have very specific dietery requirements and the hosts were amazing. They catered for us like no other restaurant. Everything was cooked fresh and the food was amazing. We highly recommend this local gem.

Takeaway pad Thai was mostly noodle, cashew nut chicken was nasty chewy brown bits of chicken, Thai fried rice was really just rice with egg? 50 dollars plus. Flavours were ok. Egg shell in fried rice. Dining in might be better?

Excellent menu and high quality food enjoyed by the 10 members our group. Highly recommended.

Great service by owner tonight. Issue with Menulog order. Driver took over an hour to arrive. Thanks for going above n beyond. I’d be having words with Menulog bad reflection on a good business. Thanks for the drinks.

Fantastic, easily the best Thai restaurant we have found so far in Adelaide. Staff attentive, beautiful food with ideal serving sizes and to top it off an authentic decor. Mid range pricing. Highly recommended

Taking forever, forgetting the dishes in me takeaway, whatever u do don't order the beer called LUCKY, good staff slow service, very poor over cooked food with runny curry when i ordered a fricking stir fry..

Had the best Thai food ever and I am from Thailand. Nonthaburi so I know good food when I taste it. Service was excellent even though they were so so busy. I’m glad we booked as so many people missed out.

We have been coming here for years. Great food and service. The staff are always friendly and eager to please. We would recommend all to try Baan Thai for authentic Thai food and pleasant atmosphere.

Great place to dine in. Food is lovely and well presented. Chilli dose was just right for me. Lovely staff and owner were friendly for our table

Worst Pad Thai. I used uber eats so it cost in total $25 for a small container of very sticky and flavorless noodles. Ive eaten in before and the food was nice so i wouldn't get take away again.

Suburban Thai with lovely food and friendly service. I shared Tom ka gai soup, beef salad and a basil chilli chicken. Our standard Thai order. Up with Cafe Michael 2 with less Rundle st bustle.

The food was excellent, and we appreciated the relative quietness (carpet on the floor is a luxury these days), and NO flat screens!! A very pleasant place to eat and have a conversation.

Great food, friendly staff. Really nice Thai food, highly recommend!

Thank you for a wonderful dinner. Entree platter is a must! I also loved the red curry chicken and Thai rice. Delicious. Service was great. A special thanks to Jimmy ☺

Staffs are very friendly and always have smile on their face. The food is not as expensive and really really nice. Many food to choose from and the flavour is awesome.

Order the Tamarind duck and experience a truly special dish! This is a wonderful place to dine in. Great atmosphere and incredibly friendly and personable staff.

Crowded the night we were there, so obviously a well known and well loved spot. My party agreed that the food was delicious and look forward to a return visit.

Ordered through doordash, 45 minutes after the order was accepted by Baan Thai it was cancelled. The driver was not informed until then either. Not impressed.

Rick and his crew are first class. Food and service both amazing. 100% recommend Baan Thai. Thank you.

Foods are good and at decent price. Good customer service comes with the smiles always. Hope they can maintain it.

Consistently good food and good service. Always busy so we must not be the only ones who think so. Worth a try

Great food! Love the dishes, definitely a great take away choice if your tired of the usual pizza or Chinese.
