 | |  |  | Chinatown Restaurants: Authentic Uighur (Muslim, Xinjiang, China) Cuisine | Tip Rating:   Satisfaction:  |  |  | |  |
A great new restaurant has opened in China Town Sydney's Dixon Street. It is a Uighur restaurant. Uighur are an ethnic minority in north-west China / Central Asia. They are from Xinjiang Province, China. The religion is Muslim. The Uighurs are famous for their unique noodles. The noodles are made on the spot, and can be served with finely chopped vegetables, lamb and chili, or in various ways. There are soups with pasta, kebabs, other meat dishes, etc etc. It is Muslim food.
The Noodle dishes - they are hard to describe, but are even more delicious than Italian and Chinese noodles (if that is possible !!). The soups are also delicious. They serve hot tea with the meal. The prices are low, but the servings are HUGE. Go with an empty stomach, because it is hard to finish the meal.

| | | | Chinatown Restaurants: One of numerous restaurants in Chinatown | Tip Rating:  Satisfaction:  | | | | |
I ate at Hingara Chinese Restaurant one evening during my visit to Sydney in April 2006. This restaurant is located on Dixon Street in the heart of Sydney's "Chinatown" in the Haymarket area of the city. It is surrounded by many similar looking restaurants with almost identical menus and similar prices. Common amongst the restaurants in this area, you will find a waitress standing outside Hingara with a menu attempting to entice customers into the restaurant. These "touts" aren't particularly pushy and I found that a polite "no, thank you" was always enough to ward them off. The menu consists of the usual selection of Chinese fare. For example, starters include hot and sour soup, chicken and corn soup, prawn toasts, spring rolls and dim sums. The main meals comprise of various stir frys, curries, rice and noodle dishes containing either chicken, beef, pork, lamb, seafood or vegetables. Unlike many Chinese restaurants that I have visited during my travels, I received no complimentary water or Chinese tea at Hingara, but the staff were friendly and the food was tasty and well-cooked.
I opted for: Prawn toasts - Cost: 5.50 AUD Two slices of prawn toast with sesame seeds, cut into 4 triangles and served with sweet and sour sauce. Fried rice noodles with chicken in black bean sauce - Cost: 10.80 AUD Tender pieces of chicken with green and red peppers, onions and other vegetables in a tasty black bean sauce. Served with a portion of thick rice noodles. Very tasty and served piping hot. 330ml can of Toohey's New beer - Cost: 5 AUD One of many similar restaurants in Sydney's Chinatown. Good food at average prices!

| | | | Chinatown Restaurants: Good value Chinese food in Haymarket | Tip Rating: Satisfaction: | | | | |
I ate at Superbowl Chinese Restaurant one lunchtime during my visit to Sydney in April 2006. This large Chinese restaurant, which specialises in seafood, is located on Goulburn Street in the "Chinatown" area of Haymarket. There is another branch of Superbowl on nearby Dixon Street. I didn't scrutinise the menu too closely as I knew that I'd be picking from the special set lunch menu, but the usual array of dishes were to be found there - that is, soups, appetizers, chicken, pork, beef, seafood and vegetarian stir frys and rice and noodle dishes. A typical stir fry will set you back 15+ AUD. Somewhat more unusually, this restaurant offers a huge selection of fresh fruit juices and health shakes. The special set lunch menu includes a variety of dishes (circa 20) to choose from and costs just 8.80 AUD. For an additional 1 AUD you can add a fresh fruit juice to your meal.
I opted for the special set menu lunch, with a fruit juice: For 9.80 AUD I got: Handmade Shanghainese noodles in hot chilli sauce An enormous plate of thick noodles, pieces of pork, carrots, various green vegetables in a hot (but invisible) chilli sauce. I could only manage to eat half of it such was the size of the portion. Fried vegetables in oyster sauce A selection of green leaves and shoots in a salty oyster sauce. Fresh watermelon juice Pureed watermelon juice (approx. 250ml) served with ice cubes. Complimentary pot of Chinese tea Lots of choice, large portions and an excellent value for money lunch menu!

| | | | Chinatown Restaurants: Superb Chinese food in Sydney | Tip Rating: Satisfaction: | | | | |
I ate at Red Chilli Sichuan Restaurant on a couple of occasions during my visit to Sydney in April 2006. This large Chinese restaurant is located in the heart of Sydney's "Chinatown" district on Little Hay Street and Dixon Street. The menu offers a large choice of stir frys containing either chicken, beef, pork, seafood or vegetables, but the emphasis is firmly on chilli peppers! The menu displays little chillis to indicate how hot a dish is, so you can choose a dish that best suits your tastes. Particularly good value is the special lunchtime menu which features a host of dishes for under 10 AUD. I selected my meal from this menu on both occasions that I ate here. You can find here the special lunchtime menu and view the restaurant's interior here. The tables are set with tablecloths and napkins and the staff are friendly and attentive. All diners receive a complimentary pot of Chinese tea.
On both occasions that I dined here I opted for: Kung Pao Chicken with Roasted Peanuts and Chillis - Cost: 8.80 AUD This dish started with a complimentary bowl of soup (containing tofu, chillis and spring onion). The main course was a large stir fry with tender pieces of good quality chicken and a hot sauce containing fiery red chillis, roasted peanuts and a selection of vegetables. The meal was served with a bucket sized bowl of white steamed rice, more than enough for half a dozen people, let alone just one! Excellent quality, and excellent value for money! The main course alone would have cost me 12.80 AUD outside of the special lunch hours. Can of Fanta orange juice - Cost: 3 AUD Excellent value lunchtime meals, superb quality food. Highly recommended!!

| | | | Chinatown Restaurants: Outdoor dining in Chinatown | Tip Rating: Satisfaction: | | | | |
I ate at Nine Dragons Chinese Restaurant one evening during my visit to Sydney in April 2006. This restaurant is located on Dixon Street, right in the heart of Sydney's busy "Chinatown" district. You can sit at one of the numerous outdoor tables and watch the flurry of activity pass you by. Alternatively, you can eat in the restaurant's spacious interior. It was a warm night, so I chose to eat outside. The extensive menu includes soups, appetizers, pork, chicken, lamb, beef, seafood and vegetarian stir frys and curries, rice and noodle dishes (such as chow mein and Singapore noodles). There is also a special menu (costing just 15 AUD per person), which includes a soup, a choice of main dish (from a selection of various stir frys and curries) and a choice of either fried rice or noodles. Unfortunately, this offer only applies if there are at least 2 people eating, and I was dining alone. The staff were rushed off their feet with it being a popular restaurant, but the service wasn't unduly slow in the circumstances.
I opted for: Stir fried chicken with rice noodles - Cost: 12 AUD Tender pieces of chicken in a stir fry sauce with carrots, mushrooms, brocolli and green leaves. Served with a large portion of thick rice noodles. 425ml Victoria Bitter - Cost: 4.80 AUD Average Chinese food at average prices in the very heart of Sydney's Chinatown.
