    In comparison to Melbourne, I found that on the whole Sydney's food was much more expensive, so I headed for Chinatown.
    It's an interesting area with lots to see, and plenty of restaurants and takeaways, including a good food court where you can get lunch specials at a reasonable price.

    I love all the dishes - anything served with fried rice or singapore noodles.

    Chinatown Restaurants: Mouth watering Asian dishes

  • This is not one particular restaurant, it is in fact a kind of food court. It's in the main shopping complex of chinatown on the top floor. It has only asian outlets and they make delicious food! None of that self serve fast food crap (There is one that does, but the other 10 or so dont). Prices are fair and the food is delicious. It's often busy though (with good reason) so find a seat first if you can.

    I have two. One is from the outlet in the far right corner when you come in (dont remember its name), It's called Bulgogi chicken... you can get hot or mild, it comes with a bowl or rice, some pickled somethingorothers (very hot stuff), some salad type stuff, and a bowl of soup. There are 3 different soups they serve there I believe, unfortiunately you dont get to pick which one but one of them is DELICIOUS, the others suck.. hehe.
    My other favourite dish is from ma's kitchen, and its fried eggplant with.. some kind of fishy topping.. and a delish garlic, ginger and spring onion garnish

    We were directed to a magnificent Chinese restaurant in Chinatown called the Golden Century. Located on Sussex Street, it urned out to be fabulous, popular, and definitely Chinese in ambiance as well as flavor. What a gastronomic find!

    Chinatown Restaurants: Marigold Restaurant for Yum Cha lunch

    Marigold Restaurant for Yum Cha in Chinatown
    For quality, value, variety and taste, surprisingly Sydney is one of the best places in the world to have yum cha (yum meaning 'drink' and cha meaning 'tea' in Cantonese). Perhaps it is because of the quality of our ingredients, perhaps it is the chefs who have been poached from top restaurants in Asia and have migrated here ... whatever it is, Yum Cha in Sydney is a great experience and if you are adventurous with your food and like Asian cuisine, try Yum Cha, offered 7 days from 10am-3pm in most large Chinese Restaurants in Chinatown. Marigold has approx 120 varieties of dim sums. Approx $15-20 AUS/head. TIP: if you lunch here on the weekend, it is best to arrive just before 12noon so that you don't have to wait for a table, and level 5 has a slightly better atmosphere than level 4.

    Prawn and pork dumplings, BBQ Pork buns

    I had the false impression having been to San Francisco's Chinatown that all Chinatowns open early. At 8:30 a.m. on Sunday morning, Sydney's Chinatown was deserted. At the south end of the Dixon Street pedestrian mall in the middle of Chinatown, Emperor's Cafe had some dim sum. (Audrey118 kindly corrects me in noting that SuperBowl, which serves rice soup, is another place in Chinatown that opens early.)

    This photo is of some aboriginal dancers that entertained us at a private party at the zoo. It's not easy to do those dances. Perhaps one can find similar dancers in Sydney (maybe at Fox Studios?)

    Sydney has such a wide variety of restaurants, pubs, clubs, cafes. There is Chinatown, The Rocks and Kings Cross which all are famous areas to choose from. Another idea is to pick one of the dinner cruises or theatre restaurants if you want to try something different. Both ways you'll have an unbelievable night.

  • Huge restaurant which I think can seat up to 800 pax. Popular place with Hong Kong Chinese residing in Australia and also travellers. Apparently very good dim sum, but there
    is a long queue -

    they have tanks and tanks of live seafood

    Steamed oysters - excellent and huge,

    2 types lobster, first sashimi, and then second is ginger shallots - excellent about 118 per kg

    Hiong Sow Ngup - which is yam mashed and layered with duck and fried. this is you like woo kok.

    steam parrot fish

    complimentary soup and fresh fruits.

    do not order kai lan - it was awfully old!

  • Cheap place, good for early action!!! as not many places in Chinatown are opened.
    They are open almost 24 hours!

    I went there for breakfast - and also supper (wee wee hours in the morning)
    and they serve congee (porridge)
    They have seafood congee, pei tan congee (century egg and skinny pork),
    sampan congee (with dry squid and nuts and internals)

    They also have set breakfast menu which istypical in Hong Kong -

    plain porridge with fried mee hoon, or with steamed noddles flour.
