Have been coming here for close to 20 years and the food never disappoints, food comes out very quick and reasonably priced. Recommend the Orange chicken if you like a bit of a sweet flavour or the garlic prawns however wouldn't matter what you order it's all delicious.

Longstanding Chinese restaurant that provides quality Chinese food at affordable prices - the location gives a classic vibe and consistently delivers The Rickshaw Inn has been around forever and looking at it from the outside you know exactly what your experience is going to be - great Chinese with a home feeling We've had it plenty of times for takeout (would highly recommend for the price), but we thought we'd take the time to come in The setting itself is not fine dining, but it's never trying to be. It gives the vibes of a family restaurant and I loved coming here in a group The staff are prompt and friendly The food that comes can compete with some of Adelaide's best Chinese takeaway stores and the price is unmatched. Very generous portions, lots of protein and great flavours - absolute win Whether it's for takeout or dine in, the Rickshaw Inn is a testament to its name and duration of opening. I can't see it going anywhere and we're definitely going to be coming regularly

Good food at fair price. Serves are decent. They offer both Chinese and Thai dishes. Small but nice sitting arrangement. The staff are very friendly. Think they have more take away customers than dine in. One of the best take away restaurants in that area. Try chef special sizzling dishes. We often have foods from here and surely will be going more.
