About Us
Our Food
Thai food is all about vibrancy and texture, the complexity of flavour is the secret of creating a nice Thai food. We serve Central plain (Bangkok) cuisines and street style food. We source fresh ingredients from our local central markets.
Our History
Thomas Ng opened Nu Thai Restaurant in June 2004 on Gouger Street Adelaide. He named it Nu Thai as it was another way to say 'New' or Modern Thai cuisine. Since 2004 he had built quite a reputation from his customer. After 10 years of operating on Gouger street, Thomas decided to move to another location. A much bigger place located at 228 Morphett Street. October 2014 was the grand opening of Thomas's new location. It is spacious, modern and creates warm atmosphere for customers to enjoy there meals.

Adelaide's Independent News
" Chef Thomas Ng has built quite a reputation, with his Asian-fusion menu incorporating South Australia’s best ingredients into dishes of robust and clean flavours. "
The Advertiser
"Nu Thai has been dishing up its own take on traditional Thai cuisine for more than a decade, outgrowing its original Gouger St home to move recently to more spacious premises around the corner. Service is efficient and attentive, but unobtrusive. Owner/chef Thomas Ng has created a menu that offers plenty of Thai favourites and a few unexpected twists, such as the coffee sauce on a specials offering. "
Broadsheet
"Ultra-fresh herbs, iconic Thai ingredients and locally sourced produce. That’s what you’re in for at Nu Thai, where owner Thomas Ng sources Angus beef and baby barramundi, then gives them the full treatment with housemade spice pastes and scatterings of herbs from the Adelaide Central Market. "
