BBQ King
Vegetarians should give this place a wide berth: carnivores, enjoy! The roast duck and barbecued pork are the main attractions here, and they are deliciously decadent. It's an old-school eatery, with bustling service, generous pots of tea and a lack of fancy decor. Since it closes late, it is popular as a post-cinema haunt.

Billy Kwong
There's something wonderfully egalitarian about top restaurants where queuing's required - perfect for travellers who don't have the luxury of booking weeks ahead. Chef Kylie Kwong serves up a tempting seasonal menu made from the best organic, sustainable, fair trade ingredients available.

Bodhi Restaurant
Vegans need look no further than this flashy spot, located underneath the plaza in front of the cathedral. Lunch means tasty yum cha, and the simple, almost ascetic atmosphere will feed your soul, although the windy outdoor seating may bring you back to earth.
-
Chinatown Noodle Restaurant
It's sweaty, shoulder-to-shoulder eating beneath wreaths of plastic grapes in this busy noodle nook - the stringy fare is made fresh daily. The combination dish looks like spaghetti bolognaise on steroids - masses of thick wheat noodles, pork, shredded cucumber and lashings of chilli and black vinegar.

East Ocean
Insanely popular on weekends for its yum cha(over 100 kinds), this massive Chinese restaurant can serve up to 1000 hungry folk - mostly discerning Asian diners - on a busy day. Popular dishes include the barbecue pork and roast duck, but don't miss the fresh seafood imported from Tasmania. Serves yum cha for both lunch and dinner.

Fu Manchu Restaurant
Think 21st-century Hong Kong slick chic, with chopsticks and elbows getting a workout. Here you will find some of the best Asian eating in Darlinghurst, and it won't kill your wallet. Wrap your fingers around some steamed barbecue pork or ginger buns for a heavenly treat. Plenty of vegetarian options are also available.

Golden Century Seafood Restaurant
This is the place for an upmarket Chinese dinner, especially if you like your seafood fresh - it's sitting in nearby tanks (check out the abalone and giant crabs!). This is a favourite late-night eating spot for many of Sydney's chefs and hotel workers, who come for the exotic, engaging flavours, fast service and fancy Asian decor.

Mahjong Room
Siblings Billy To and Erika Chan offer up fresh, wholesome and creative Chinese cuisine at this atmospheric eatery. Choose one of the three cosy dining areas and dive into the steamed fish with ginger, or wok-fried lamb, and don't forget the Peking duck starter. In winter the mixed seafood hot pot is mandatory. Monthly mah jong classes are offered.
-
Marigold Restaurant
This vast yum cha palace is a constant whirl of trolley dollies in silk dresses and waiters in bowties bustling around the 800 seats. It's hard to resist gorging as the Cantonese delights are constantly presented for inspection - dim sum, dumplings, steamed pork buns, chickens' feet and all the other usual suspects. On weekends expect to queue.
