Honestly this was by far one of the worst meals I’ve ever had! Ma Chim was recommended by a lovely friend so I took my son for dinner on a Wednesday night to try somewhere different as we love Asian food. Firstly we had Peking Duck Pancakes. $15 for the tiniest piece of duck the size of a dessert spoon. It was dry and tough and sliced into 4 little pieces. The cucumber and eshallot accompaniments looked tired and tasted old. Then we had duck spring rolls and Golden Puffs. They were just ok. The main was the worst. Actually it was truly unacceptable! And I hesitate being negative about anything, but this really was very disappointing. The Sweet and Sour Prawns. The prawns were old and stale. They looked and tasted like they were pre-cooked in tempura 3 to 5 days prior, refrigerated, and then just reheated for serving. They were dry and rubbery, tasted stale… and were really awful. There was hardly any sauce in the bowl. I almost sent the dish back but decided instead just to never come back again. The restaurant itself lacked ambience and any sort of atmosphere. Mostly all outdoor dining and it was freezing, even with the heater on. The service was average. We were so disappointed. And such a waste of money. I’d like to think this experience was perhaps just due to it being a quiet night, but honestly, food quality and service should be consistent any time you dine. Our local favourites are Chalong at Chapel Hill and My Thai at Auchenflower… by far better in EVERY way… quality, taste, service, atmosphere, and value for money. Based on my experience I would not recommend Ma Chim to anyone. And I won’t be returning. Disappointed I didn’t think to take more photos.

A delicious Thai experience at Ma Chim Thai Eatery!! I had a fantastic meal here. I tried Thai milk tea, Wagyu Thai boat noodles, Soft shell crab pat phong karee, Spring roll and Prawns Luscious. Everything I ordered was absolutely delicious especially Boat noodles that I highly recommended. The restaurant itself is modern, stylish and clean. There are also plenty of parking available.

I ordered the Gluten Free Pad See Ew and it was absolutely delicious! The noodles were perfectly stir-fried—smoky and chewy just like they should be. The sauce had a great balance of sweet and savory, and the vegetables were fresh and crunchy. Restaurant is very clean and staff is very attentive. I’ll definitely be back to try more dishes!

Best Thai ever!!! The service is wonderful and the food is delicious. My favourite Thai for dine in or takeaway. The coconut matcha was yummy. Boat noodle, cashew nut stir fry and the most fabulous Tom yum….. After a long day, and you want Thai takeaway because you are too tired to cook, always go to Ma Chim - it will make you feel better :) I will keep coming back to try the entire menu!!!

A new Thai restaurant has opened in the Paddington area, and I love the atmosphere. It's cute and minimalistic in style. Some dishes differ slightly from other Thai restaurants. My favorite is the salmon sashimi; the salmon is fresh, and the sauce is very refreshing, not too strong, and perfectly balanced, making it easy for foreigners to enjoy. Another dish I love is the Wagyu beef boat noodles; the flavor is intense, and the beef is stewed until it melts in your mouth. However, I find the Tepho curry a bit too heavy on the coconut milk, which foreigners might like. Overall, it's pretty good.
