About That Restaurant on Gouger

Set in an old heritage pub on the western edge of Gouger Street, this midnight anchor feeds night owls and shift workers with hot, unapologetic Sichuan plates. The room feels easygoing and unhurried—original woodwork, generous tables, and teapots refilled into the small hours. Diners head here specifically for the dry chillies tossed with king prawn and squid, where the kitchen turns up the heat on request. Between beer-braised duck, garlicky greens, and tender e-shand eggplant, the menu handles big groups and late cravings without missing a beat.

  • Late-Night Dining: Full-kitchen dining past midnight, running until 3:00 AM on Friday and Saturday nights without rushing diners out.
  • Tailored Sichuan Heat: The kitchen readily dials up heat levels upon request, delivering serious chilli kicks across seafood and stir-fries.
  • Heritage Pub Setting: Housed in a converted heritage pub featuring classic timber details, ample seating, and a casual atmosphere.

Why Diners Choose That Restaurant on Gouger

From midnight feasts in a converted heritage pub to customized Sichuan heat, here is why diners choose That Restaurant on Gouger.

  • Reliable Late-Night Hot Dinners

    Operating past midnight and until 3:00 AM on Fridays and Saturdays, the kitchen serves fresh, full hot dinners well after standard Adelaide closing times.

    One thing that is suprising it opens until 3 AM on Fridays and Saturdays. Is this really possible in Adelaide? Anyway i’m happy there’s a place where i can enjoy such delicious food late at night.

  • Unhurried Late-Shift Welcome

    Late-shift workers and evening diners can arrive after hours without feeling rushed out before closing.

    They are reliably open after we finish work and we never feel like they are waiting for us to leave. They are super accommodating and chilled.

    Julianto Santosa

  • Relaxed Heritage Pub Ambience

    A historic pub conversion provides a warm, character-filled setting featuring vintage wooden bar fittings and casual heritage charm.

    I like the old pub converted into a Chinese restaurant with friendly service, decently priced beers and food and yummy food.

  • Punchy Sichuan Chilli Heat

    Dishes deliver deep, assertive spice levels featuring dry chillies, Sichuan peppers, and house-crafted garlic sauces.

    One small warning though: be careful with the dry chillies… they mean business! Hehe! But honestly, it just adds to the fun and flavor of the place.

    He also offered to make everything extra spicy once we mentioned loving things extra hot.

  • Dry Hot Pot

    My partner and I had the pork belly in green pepper sauce and dry hot pot. We have tried most of the hot pot places in Adelaide at this point and this was definitely one of the best.

    Late-finishing workers and night owls are welcomed warmly well past midnight, without staff rushing tables or making diners feel like they need to leave.

  • BYO Celebration Cake Support

    Celebration groups can enjoy dedicated spacious seating and bring their own birthday cake with accommodating service.

Before you head over

Practical advice on timing your late-night visit, navigating spice levels, and dining with groups.

  • Take Advantage of Weekend Late Hours

    On Friday and Saturday nights, the kitchen stays open until 3:00 AM, making it a reliable option after late work shifts or evening outings without feeling rushed to leave.

  • Calibrate Your Spice Level

    Dishes packed with dry chillies pack serious heat; if you have a lower spice tolerance, ask staff to adjust the heat or choose non-spicy stir-fries and vegetarian dishes.

  • Bring Groups and Bookings Easily

    The restaurant features generous, spacious seating inside a converted heritage building, accommodating walk-ins, coworker teams, and family celebrations with ease.
