Dixon Restaurant is a place we stumbled upon. We were walking up through Chinatown when this place was SO much more crowded than the others and with Asians mostly. So this meant we decided to check out the menu and sit down. Leave a Comment Theme: Chinese/Dim SumPrice: US$11-20 » Currency ConverterComparison: less expensive than average

We came across this restaurant as we were exploring China Town. We noticed that there were plenty of people seated outside and the prixe fix lunch menu looked yummy.
The prixe fix menu for AUS $12 was a fantastic price. The price included soup and spring rolls with the main course. I had the chicken with cashews and my travel partner had the chicken with vegatables. The meal also included rice with came in a steaming rice cooker.

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!

It is said that the Chinese cuisine, particularly the Yum Cha/Dim Sum are up with the best in the world - ie next to Hong Kong and Guangzhou, that is Southern China where the reputation for fine food has been renowned.
WE ended up at The Marigold which was always one of the well regarded before my 7 years away in Europe and the range and quality of the Dim Sum served to us was still excellent and absolutely enjoyed!
Its a little more up in price since Ive been away but for the $20 each person our 10 or so selections plus rice and tea came to - about £8 per person - thats great value for money!
Prawn dumplings, vegetable dumplings, any dumplings!, bok choy with oyster sauce, and the coconut jelly was still wow! Weve not usually had barbecued pork when having Yum Cha but it was offered and it was a delicious accompaniment as was the Jasmine Tea.

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!

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!!

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.

Wander along Plaza Street in the evening and you will soon find somewhere to eat. Most of the restaurants have tables outside and are actively looking for your business.
They mainly offered the same deal...$15 each for an entree and a main course. The one that got our custom offered us a glass of wine included in the price.......did I really look like I needed a drink??
Food was ok, but nothing to rave over.
I guess the atmosphere is in sitting outside watching all the other passers by being hit on by the young asian ladies touting for their restaurant. Leave a Comment Theme: Chinese/Dim SumPrice: less than US$10 » Currency ConverterComparison: less expensive than averageDirections: Chinatown

This is probably the busiest Chinese restaurant in Chinatown. There always seems to be huge queues at the door, which you don't see at any of the neighbouring restaurants. We decided to try out this restaurant, there were 13 of us, so we phoned for a reservation. We were told the earliest table would be at 9.30pm. A bit late for dinner for us, but nevertheless, we went ahead with the booking. When we got to the restaurant we had to fight our way through the crowds at the door to let the receptionist know we had arrived for our booking. Unfortunately, their booking system doesn't mean that having booked a table for 9.30pm guarantees a table for that time, so we ended up waiting an hour before we got our table. But it was well worth the wait! The seafood was fresh, they will bring over the live seafood to your table, before they cook your it, informing you of the weight of the seafood that you'll be paying for. There is a large variety of seafood to choose from, all visible from the fishtanks located at the front of the restaurant. We really wanted to try the King Crabs, they looked huge, but they worked out very pricey, so we settled for snow and mud crabs instead. One of the crab dishes we had was cooked in a salt and pepper batter - that was my favourite! I can understand now why there are always queues for this place!
Me and hubby went back to this restaurant again, just the 2 of us this time, a few days later. We went past at 8pm, and as usual, there were huge queues, so we opted to see a film first, then went back at 11pm where the queues had disappeared and we got our table as soon as we arrived. This time, we decided to try the Australian lobster, sharing a 1.1kg lobster cooked in spring onion and ginger sauce with a noodle base and we also had one baby abalone each. The lobster was lovely! The flesh was very succulent, much nicer than the lobsters we have back in the UK. Even though it worked out quite expensive, it was a good experience!
I definitely recommend this restaurant, but as you've probably gathered, either be very patient to get a table or avoid the peak eating hours (the retaurant is open up until 4am in the morning!!!).

Chinatown can be extremely busy at nights. We went to this restaurant by means of picking the one with a lot of seating. It was pretty good- service was respectable for a very busy saturday night. It is liscenced and has cocktails, wines and beers.
I had a vegetarian hot pot with rice which was simple but enjoyable. They were willing to change the Oystersauce to a vegetarian-friendly sauce.
