This is not a restaurant for the faint hearted. Owned by Aussie Thaiophile chef David Thompson, it is a fun place to go – loud, brash and unashamedly like a street style cafe. The food is authentic in looks, flavour and spice – it is HOT, you know, Silom Road hot, so if you can’t take spicy food, then maybe this is not the best choice for you.

Came for dinner for 4 on a Friday night. We were promptly seated by our friendly host and proceeded to order: vege spring rolls (standard), green papaya salad (absolutely delicious), green curry (good), charred noodles (delicious) and Siamese watercress (very tasty, funnily enough this side dish was my favourite thing we ordered). Dessert was a bit less appealing so we skipped this. Overall the dishes were balanced, flavour packed, but it felt like there was a limited selection of options on the menu compared to previous visits (over a year ago admittedly). The restaurant itself is very funky and has a distinctly ‘Melbourne-like’ vibe which I love. Service was excellent. Definitely worth a visit.
Exceptional !!! As always! Service was awesome as well. This place is the best Thai you will ever eat. Flavour explosion.

One of our favourite places – in the basement of the restored State Buildings Long Chim is turning out the best Thai food in Perth, in a great location – you can eat at the bar, in the restaurant proper between the arches, or out in the courtyard, weather permitting – it has something for everyone, so long as you enjoy food in the robust Bangkok street style – spicy, at times hot, but always full of authentic aromatic and zesty Thai flavours.
First time eating at Long Chim. Since I am not from Perth, it took me some time to go d it. You have to look for stairs going down.
The restaurant is dimly lit. Service is good and staff attentive.
I have ordered the Thai seafood laksa. The broth is richer compared to Malaysian laksa. The bowl of laksa came piping hot with vermicelli noodles, seafood balls, prawns and very spicy coconut soup. Compliment the fiery dish with lemongrass drink.
Overall very tasty and spicy. Highly recommended.
Oh wow this place is amazing. We came here for dinner on Friday night. We managed to reserve a table inside for 8pm. The lighting is dim and the restaurant is cosy and romantic. The staff were all lovely and the food was absolutely freaking delicious!! I highly recommend giving this place a visit. The octopus and every other grilled item was a 10/10 and they had no issue with serving the sauces on the side!
Headed to Long Chim on a busy friday without a booking and they were able to squeeze us in with a short wait at the bar. Both alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks were delicious with hints of asian fruits and spices such a kafir like and nutmeg.
Service was impeccable, while we were waiting they would check on us every 5 or 10 mins to make sure we knew we hadn't been forgotten. They were all very knowledgeable on menu items and made suitable recommendations.
Food came out quickly and I couldnt fault any of it. The crunchy prawns, squid and duck fried rice were cooked to perfection. Id probably chose a curry instead of the lemongrass fish next time but it was still tasty.
Loved the ambiance of this place and the great customer service. We ordered green thai curry, pad thai, pineapple pork curry, and chinese broccoli with pork. Most of the food was great (except for the other dish we had that had scrambled eggs that tasted a littler burnt)!! I didnt think it was worth it since the serving was small and the price is mostly expensive.

Was put off by so, so many comments - mostly price wise - about Long Chim, but I’m glad I did.
The service is fantastic, first off. My crustacean allergy was considered and handled with an email of the menu specifically highlighting which items I should avoid, and which I should be aware of. Aside from attention to detail, the service was unobtrusive, friendly and extremely pleasant. This alone stands well above the rest of Perth.
The cocktails we got were very, very nice. Well made, well balanced and just delicious and easy to drink.
We had the fragrant chicken satay, duck fried rice, pork pineapple curry, papaya salad. The food is great. Expensive, yes, but it was well worth it, considering the two stunning desserts we ordered.
The sticky rice with mango is one of the best things I’ve had in a while, the mango is sweet, ripe and tender. The sticky rice is salty, creamy and delightfully chewy and rich. The thai tea ice cream is in a league of its own. Incredibly flavourful, smooth and delicious.
Good God, simple delicious food done incredibly well. Will be back!
Long Chim had the best customer service I’ve had in a long time - the staff were bubbly, friendly and engaging, the atmosphere was great and the food was lovely.
