Jim’s Malaysia is one of my favourite Malaysian eat outs. I’m a big fan of noodle soup and they have a great variety of choices with flavoursome soup; as well as your seasonal desserts.
Hawker Lane in the Westfield has great atmosphere and lots of choice if you’re looking for Asian cuisine. If you’re lucky, you’ll pick a day that isn’t too busy and you can find a table.
I ordered the crispy chicken laksa on the server’s recommendation. She also told me that there was a 10 minute wait. I think she was friendly, helpful, honest and polite.
The laksa was good. Decent serving size with plenty of noodles. The level of flavour and spice was as expected. The chicken was crispy and served on the side to maintain the crispness.
Price is a little higher than other places in Hawker Lane. A few dollars less would make it better value for the dish.
Would happily order this again.
I love Malaysian food so I was hoping to check out Jim's Malaysia as I have seen a lot of tasty looking photos in their Instagram. I had the king prawn curry laksa and a curry puff. Both were really yummy! The laksa broth was quite thick with great flavor and not too spicy. Curry puff had a flaky exterior which I love! The filling was slightly bland (not sure whether it's because I had it after the flavorsome laksa broth) but wouldn't mind getting another one but I actually bought the last one. Will be back!

Solid malaysian food. Great taste, comes out fast, and authentic flavours. Their chicken satay is a particualr standout! Tek Tarik great way to wash down the meal.

Definitely one of the better places to eat in Hawkers lane. The food is of a decent quality with a price range to match. The service is pretty responsive when all factors are taken into account with the amount of people eating
I've been eating at the same udon place like three times in a row whenever I went to Chatswood so insisting on going to Hawkers Lane this time was a refreshing decision. The koay teow at Jim's Malaysia was honestly the only menu item in the whole food court that I was interested in, and so I ordered it without hesitation. It's $12.80, a little over my usual food budget, but it's really good especially the sambal (???) on the side. The noodles are so soft as well!! I would go here again perhaps to try the nasi lemak.
Finally got to try Jim's Malaysia after all the Instagram photos I keep seeing. I love a hearty Char Kway Teow and Jim's Malaysia is famous for it. Their version is not massive in portion but just right for me. Packed with thick slices of smoky lap-cheong and plump, juicy prawns, but the flavours of the rice noodles are not smoky enough for me personally. I also would prefer a bit more oompft in terms of seasoning. For over $12, I think I would have liked to see a bit more wow factor. The chopped chilli in soy I asked for is very spicy, which is fantastic and definitely gave the noodles that kick.
My all time favourite casual lunch place at work! Uncle Jim serve with authentic flavour Asian food with creative combination. I have tried every single item on the menu, and my favourite items are: Char Kuey Teaw, Prawn Laksa, hainan chicken rice. Their traditional ice Malaysian milk tea and ice jelly drink is also my favourite summer drink. I highly recommend this place as NOT any single one item on the menu disappointed me!
Stumbled across Hawker Lane on the basement level of Chatswood Westfield and decided to go for a wander. There was a nice atmosphere with the chatter of diners enjoying themselves against a backdrop of live music from a solo singer on guitar, the clanging of woks and asian cooking smells wafting through the "alleyway".
There seemed to be a constant queue of people at Jim's Malaysia but service was friendly and fast. Ordered the Ice Kacang dessert, got a ticket and minutes later, was sharing the shaved ice dessert. At $6.50, it's unbeatable value.
Jim’s Malaysia is another decent option in Hawker Lane. The laksa soup was flavoursome without being too heavy and the amount of noodles with vegetables was just right. Laksas range from $11.80-$16.80, and being the vegetarian one I found it to be of quite good value. Perfect on a cold wintery evening. The chicken black bean sauce dish was nice also, but I’d probably try something else if I were to go back. Wouldn’t mind getting the laksa again though!
