Top Best Chinese Restaurants in Sydney

"There’s nothing like spinning the lazy Susan at Golden Century and having a bed of fried vermicelli cradling saucy XO pipis land in front of you. With a string of culinary endorsements by the likes of David Chang, Neil Perry and Tetsuya Wakuda under their belt, the restaurant in the heart of Chinatown needs no introduction. All the Cantonese favourites make an appearance, from Mongolian lamb to extra crispy honey chicken, but it’s the pipis that you want."

"It would be remiss not to include this legendary seafood restaurant in our top 10 – the midday to late-night venue (it’s open till 4am!) is well known for hosting hungry chefs post-service and celebrities like Lady Gaga and Rihanna, post-stadium concerts. Top dishes: pippies with XO sauce, steamed live prawns and steamed parrot fish with ginger and shallots. 393-399 Sussex St, Sydney, goldencentury.com.au"

"Chinese cuisine is known for its love of seafood, and Golden Century is a pioneer in serving up fresh traditional seafood dishes. Our favourite part is the lobster tanks and the fact it’s open late, perfect for a midnight feast. Located in the CBD, it’s popular with people from all over so don’t be surprised if you see a queue."

"Restaurants Chippendale. Tucked behind the Kensington Street laneway, Spice Alley rings together a whole bunch of hawker-style stalls from around the globe. Food is cheap, easy on the eye, and importantly – you can BYO wine (or something stronger, if you'd prefer)."

"It’s tucked just behind the Kensington Street Laneway and features was of the best open air courtyards in Sydney. You can sample cuisines from almost any corner of the globe here, from Cantonese to fusion French. It’s one of the best spots for some outdoor lunch Sydney’s got to offer."

"Tucked away in the lane of Kensington Street is the popular Spice Alley. Found between chic cafes and trendy bars, this restaurant is one of the best places for Asian cuisine. Serving fusion style Japanese, Malaysian and Singaporean dishes."

"Sometimes, finding the perfect restaurant for you and a significant other is all in the name; and Spice Temple promises more than just fiery modern Chinese flavours. The animated front door leads you down a set of stairs into the main dining space, where red velvet couches line the walls and low-hanging lamps offer just enough light to see the face across from you. The most important face, of course..."

"For one of the best Chinese restaurants celebrating China’s lesser-known regions, Spice Temple is the place. Spice Temple is an innovative fusion of modern Chinese and Australian set in a romantic underground restaurant. The menu is banquet-style and the food served up is of the finest quality."

The taste of the food and speedy service will have you feeling like you’re in the streets of Honk Kong.

"Restaurants Chinese Sydney. Holding court in the red and gold dining room of the Palace Chinese Restaurant comes with great responsibility. If you are in the power seat by the trolley channel you need to be decisive when the extra-juicy pink-hued roast pork rolls around, served in thin slices with the right fat-to-meat ratio."
