Ky Chow
Ky Chow is my favourite Chinese restaurant in Adelaide. I’ve been coming here for years, even when it was located down the western end of Gouger Street. Back then, the restaurant was small and they would try to cram as many people in as possible. At their new location, the decor is more modern and…

The owners of Thanh Thanh used to own a store out in the Western suburbs. To cater for a wider market, it was probably a wise decision to open a shop in the city.
