Maggie's Thai Erskineville Sydney Restaurant Review
Erskineville is one of Sydney's trendier suburbs with beards and skinny jeans as far as the eye can see. However it still maintains a lovely community feel, which extends into one of its gem restaurants: Maggie's Thai.

This restaurant is a favourite among locals, which is probably the highest praise a restaurant can receive. Michelin stars are overrated- just ask Lisa down the street what she thinks.

The menu at Maggie's Thai is extensive with some awesome twists on the usual Thai restaurant staples. The stir-fry section includes Lamb with Chilli Coconut Sauce and Crispy Pork Belly with Asian Greens.


For starters, we opted for:
  • Duck San Choy Bau
  • Thai Fish Cakes

For $4 each, the Duck San Choy Bau was an absolute winner. Fresh and rich at the same time, I could have eaten a platter of these quite happily.

The Fish Cakes were fried to perfection and were nicely set off with a tangy sauce that had lots of chopped veges and peanuts for texture.

We then stuck to the specials menu and had:
  • Green Papaya Salad with Flathead
  • Maggie's Duck

The Green Papaya Salad was everything I love about Thai food. The freshness of the salad paired so well with the fried fish (I won't lie- fried things are delicious). Mixed in with the green papaya were pomegranate seeds and fresh herbs, taking this dish to a whole new level.

Maggie's Duck tasted just as decadent as it looked. The sauce had a lot of both sweet and sour going on and was perhaps a bit too rich. Luckily it was served on a bed of pak choi to cut through the heavy-going duck meat and sauce.

If you're in and around Erko, Maggie's Thai is guaranteed to serve something interesting on your plate. It will go well with a suitably ironic shirt and rainbow Wayfarers.
