So cheap, so delicious, cheap BYO prices. Go with a group of friends and order up big. It won't cost you much and you will enjoy every dish! More

T Chow is a longstanding Adelaide Cantonese style restaurant, in the heart of Adelaide's bustling Chinatown. Before writing this review, I've read some of the recent poor reviews. My review is based on my own recent experience (on the day of writing this review). On my visit, in May 2012, I had excellent yum cha, which was fresh and tasty,... More

It's great, affordable and delicious. Always busy with the locals, you can also bring your own wine for very cheap corkage. Highly recommend - it is one of our first choice eateries as locals. More

Found the food to mass produced and sloppy. We had the banquet and some dishes were ok and the rest missed the mark. Salt & pepper squid was tasty but very oily. Ok if you are after a quick meal. More

Food is ok. It has gone downhill over the last 5 years. I booked a lunch function for about 30 people, one person ordered a dish without MSG due to an allegy. Apparently it did contain MSG because he became ill. Of course he told everyone, not good for their reputation. More

The food (I use the term loosely) was just shocking. I am fairly certain that it was straight out of a jar with a bit of pre cooked meat and served up on gluggy (possibly 3 day old) rice. We actually could not eat much of it in the end and had to leave and find somewhere else to eat.... More

This place is horrid. The food they try to pass off as yum cha is, at best, of the same quality as a service station pie. That's right. It sits under heat lamps and steam trays, is half cold, tasteless and bland. Terrible. They also charge you $8.80 for a bottle of water (which they don't open in front of... More

They have only recently started to do yum cha here so we gave it a go saturday lunchtime. It wasn't that busy, probably because no one knows they do yum cha yet, but every dish was lovely,the service was great and they even had a few surprise dishes we hadn't tasted before. More
