 | |  |  | Chinatown Restaurants: Marigold Restaurant for Yum Cha lunch | Tip Rating:    |  |  | |  |
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.

| | | | Chinatown Restaurants: Golden Century - Yummy Fresh Seafood!!! | Tip Rating: Satisfaction:  | | | | |
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 Restaurants: Mouth watering Asian dishes | Tip Rating: | | | | |
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 Leave a Comment Theme: OtherPrice: less than US$10 » Currency ConverterComparison: less expensive than averageAddress: Main Shopping Complex in ChinatownDirections: Ask for directions to chinatown and head down the main street until you see a shopping centre then go up to the top floor!
