“ We ordered vegetable spring rolls, Tom yum goong, pad kra pao, som tam, pad see ew and Thai milk tea. (Three people, take away) Overall, food was absolutely delicious! especially the som tam, tom yum and pad kra pao were the best we’ve had so far in Perth. Spring rolls were quite bland so don’t recommend it, and pad see ew lacked flavour (only tasted the sweetness) compared to what I’m used to in Thailand. The portion size for pad kra pao was quite small, I recommend ordering extra rice or more dishes. But what a little gem this place is! Would 100% return. ”
“ I’ve always ordered from Ma-Kin Thai through Uber Eats, but today I dined in for lunch with friends, and it was a great experience. It was easy to get a table, and as always, their Pad Thai didn’t disappoint – one of the best I’ve ever had! The noodles are perfectly chewy, packed with bean sprouts, and the balance of spices, acidity, and sweetness is just right. We also had the spring rolls, which were okay, served with sweet chilli, and the fried rice – which was generous, flavorful, and had everything you want from good Asian fried rice. The Pad Krapow was a bit spicy for my palate, but still delicious, with juicy beef mince and plenty of green beans, which I loved. Their Tom Yum is also a must-try, especially in colder weather – really heartwarming and seasoned to perfection. I paired the meal with Thai milk tea, and it was spot-on. The service was quick, and the ambience was clean and inviting. Highly recommend this little gem in Crawley! ”
“ Delicious Thai dishes. Excellent flavors and generous portions. Service can get busy during peak periods. Modest seatings and can get noisy. ”
“ Really enjoyed the tom yum soup (one of the best we've had and it's spicy!) and the Thai milk tea. The fried chicken and pad Kao prow were good too. So happy to have yummy Thai food nearby. ”
“ Thai food, contains some spicy and sour flavour. Nice beef soup with the unique shape of fried noodles and wet noodles inside. Lemon tea is tasty but it costs about $7.5? Glad we tried this restaurant near UWA. ”
“ Dropped in for a quick lunch after a morning appointment in Nedlands, with a small craving for papaya salad. Papaya salad - it's a refreshing dish and tasted authentic although the dressing is just a tad too sweet and more spicy than it needs to be. And I can handle quite spicy food. Beef Khao Soi - this dish has a nice spicy broth but again a tad sweet. Oyster beef was tender although it seemed to be lacking seasoning despite being in a strong curry broth. Overall it was a flavourful eat but having two sweet dishes made me crave for something to balance the palate. As is the case for Thai food in Perth, both dishes are overpriced for what you get. ”
“ Fantastic foodie experience in this small, casual, vibey place with great staff. Everything here is amazing and incredibly cheap. We took a bottle of wine, shared four plates and left sated and happy. Must try the papaya salad and fried chicken wings. Curries tasty and spicy! Love this place. ”
“ Pad Thai noodles taste incredible！！！It is great！The sauce of the dumplings is great，too. The atmosphere is good and the environment is clean. I highly recommend it！However， I found that they raised the price. Maybe they need to upload the new menu to the Google. ”

If you're in the mood for something lighter, the restaurant also serves crispy vegetable spring rolls and generous portions of flavorful fried rice.
