Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I've been wanting to try this place for ages, and I'm glad I did. The food was awesome (apart from there being no chicken satays!), service very attentive, and atmosphere was wonderfully casual and quirky. The gluten free options were clearly marked on the menu...too which is helpful :-)More

It’s busy, it’s noisy, but all that is ok when the food is this good. There is a 90 minute sitting time allocated but the service is tight and the food is served very quickly. The food was beautiful. Creative, unpretentious and so enjoyable. The...hype is justified.More

Over priced food and very Small serves. Slow service. Some people got their drink quick & others on our table waited 15 mins. Wouldn’t go back. Disappointed. $26 for pad Thai- it was barely enough for one person to eat as a main. Shocking.

A friend introduced me to Gin Long. Its imaginative menu, attentive staff and fantastic food - without exception - made for a memorable night. The fact that the restaurant was booked out on a Wednesday night, and is apparently always heavily booked, says it all.

We had our work Christmas function at Gin Long and the service afforded to us from Lim and the rest of the staff was first class. Communication with the restaurant via email in organising our event prior was fast, efficient and communication excellent! They really...went above and beyond to accomodate our group! We had the banquet and honestly at $65 a head you simply can not beat this for affordability!! Everyone in our group of 18 thoroughly enjoyed the sensational food! Courses were served at a great pace and the food options, flavours and presentation outstanding! They also have a great wine list! And make the best cocktails in adelaide!!! I can highly recommend Gin Long!More

We shared the barramundi dish, which was disappointing. Small pieces of fried crumbed fish just didn't do it for us. Otherwise the restaurant was nice enough. We liked the ambiance of the place.

Food good, our mains came out separately…when I commented to a waiter about it he said that’s the way the do it. Funny how the table nearby got all their mains at once. Queried that if we ordered seperate dishes and weren’t sharing that they...would come out at different times??? Waiter argued the point that’s how Asian restaurants do it… sorry this is the only place we have experienced this. Will probably never come again … your staff shouldn’t argue the point. 😟More

As always the food here was incredible! We charged the “Chow Down B” banquet & were not disappointed at all. Staff catered for any dietaries for the banquet & brought out additional or substituted dishes to suit the requirements. We all walked out feeling very...full & ready for a food coma! Cocktails were delicious & a great accompaniment to the Asian flavours. A must visit for anyone wanting a new place to try in the city!More

Interesting fusion menu and delicious food in a casual lively venue. Great cocktails. Our waiter was really good. Watch out for how much you order as the size of the portions is very generous. Loved the crab and the beef short ribs for ‘smalls’ and...the fish and Asian coleslaw.More

We attended on a busy Saturday night and the staff were so helpful. We opted for the feed me option Chow Down A ($49) but with two vegetarians and a coeliac we were worried about the dishes included and if we would get value for...money. The staff were amazing in catering for our dietary requirements and we had soooo much food - a huge range and everything was delicious. The beef was falling apart, the veggie curry was amazing, and other highlights were the salt and pepper tofu and eggplant dishes and the duck curry. We could not fault any of the food. The cocktails were great, the only negative of the night was the “gin long” cocktail that is served in a bubble tea type container even when you are dining in, which is just an unnecessary use of plastic. We will definitely be back - the food and service were greatMore

We ate dinner at Gin Long twice in 3 days because the food is so delicious. The staff are cheerful and attentive in spite of it being so busy both nights. On our second visit we hadn’t booked but the staff placed us at the...bar with a view of the kitchen and all of the cooking. It was fantastic to watch their chefs in action. I will definitely go back on my next trip to South Australia.More
