A
East Ocean
Insanely popular on weekends for its yum cha (over 100 kinds), this massive Chinese restaurant can seat hundreds of hungry folk – mostly discerning Asian diners. A few trolleys trundle around, but mostly it's a case of ticking your selelctions on cards provided. Aside from dim sum, the seafood is also excellent.

Emperor’s Garden BBQ & Noodles
This is the real Chinatown deal: bald barbecued ducks dangling in the window, pink neon, plastic chairs and a murderous butcher next door (‘Goat inside!’…and pork ear, jellyfish and ox tongue). Try the soft-shell crab, or the pig’s blood congee if you’re feeling adventurous. You might need a Tsingtao or three to stay sane amid the mildly confronting chaos.

Billy Kwong
There’s something wonderfully egalitarian about top restaurants where queuing is required – perfect for travellers who don’t have the luxury of booking weeks ahead. Chef Kylie Kwong cooks up a modern Chinese menu from the best organic, sustainable and fair-trade ingredients.

Super Bowl
This unpretentious Dixon St food room is always crammed with Chinese diners (and it has nothing to do with the Pittsburgh Steelers or the New England Patriots). Dig the Chinatown vibe and slurp up a bowl of noodles at the street-side tables. Perfect for a postmidnight snack.

Din Tai Fung
It also does noodles and buns, but it's the dumplings that made this Taiwanese chain famous, delivering an explosion of fabulously flavoursome broth as you bite into their delicate casings. Come early, come hungry, come prepared to share your table. It also has stalls in The Star and Westfield Sydney food courts.

Bowling Club
A Chinese restaurant hidden away upstairs also serves Oz food and delights like Mongolian lamb, using local produce.

Marigold Restaurant
This vast yum cha palace has more mirrors, crimson and gold than seems plausible. Spread over two levels (800 seats!), it’s a constant whirl of trolley dollies in silk dresses and waiters in bowties delivering dumplings, steamed pork buns, chicken feet and all the other usual suspects. Kitsch in the best possible way. Expect to queue on weekends.
