Hello hello hello! it's been a while since i made my last cheap eats video and in this one, I really wanted to focus on all the amazing tasty eats you can find in Sydney's Chinatown.
The last two years have been really difficult on the hospitality industry, and Chinatowns around the world has been hit especially hard. When I first moved to Sydney as a kid, there definitely weren't as many Chinese restaurant options as we have today - and Chinatown was a go to place for a lot of our family gatherings, whether it be yum cha, or a quick bite at a cha chaan teng, or family dinners at a Chinese restaurant with the big round tables and the the glass spinning thingy in the middle of the table.
I can't believe I've never made a video on Chinatown - so here's one to start. One video will never be enough to showcase Sydney's Chinatown so hopefully this is one of many! many places i featured in this video, i've been to many times. Hopefully this inspires you go go visit Chinatown next time you're in the city and is feeling a bit hungry.
Places i visited in this video:
1. Mother Chu's Taiwanese Gourmet
Address: 1/84-88 Dixon St, Sydney
2. Nanjing Dumplings
Address: 6 Little Hay St, Haymarket
3. Mr Chen Beef Noodle
Address: Prince Centre TG5 Quay Street Enter via, 8 Thomas St, Haymarket NSW 2000
4. Cho Dumpling King
Address: Shop TG6, 8 Quay St, Haymarket
5. Mrs Chan's Kitchen
635 George St, Haymarket
6. Xi'an Cuisine
4/90 Hay St, Haymarket
7. Emperor's Garden Restaurant
96-100 Hay St, Haymarket

So sad that Sydney Chinatown took such a hit during lockdown. I hope people come back and support the little eateries! It is such a fave for our family. Thanks Janice for shining a light on this! 😍

*Apologies for the audio, I’m working on adding subtitles for the video! What's the cheapest, most tasty thing you've had in Chinatown, regardless of the city??? Also! correction on the address of Mother Chu's Taiwanese Gourmet - it's shouldve been 1/84-88 Dixon St, Sydney

What a great idea to feature Chinatown in your video ☺️👍🏽 I’m so glad many of those places have managed to survive Covid. Spent a lot of my childhood going to Marigold, so was sad to hear they’re closing 🙁 Eddy and I used to go to Campbell’s cha chaan teng (HK style cafe), but they closed years ago 🙁 we LOVE the pork floss rice roll at Mother Chu’s! The boat noodle place is great too 👍🏽 Keep up the good work and stay safe. We always look forward to your videos ☺️

Living in Brisbane since 2015 and there’s nothing here like Asian food in Sydney. Craving great Chinese food for dinner right now and and your video pops up. Sadly nowhere near us with anything authentic of decent. Your video helps fill the void 🧡

Hey Janice, been to Marigold's a few times, maybe you could do a video on it before it closes. It's been a Sydney Icon and certainly when one speaks of Chinatown Yum Cha, most would just associate that with Marigold's. Shame it's closing. Thank you for the Video. Excellent and will be trying some of the Restaurants out.

I'll now know where to buy lunch and dinner, next time I'm in Sydney. In Wellington New Zealand, the average person spends NZ$20 on lunch or dinner. Meals in the big cities of your countries are expensive. But there's always places which are cheap in your city.

I should not watch your videos before I go sleep. Now I am craving for dumplings and I won't be able to fall asleep! The most tasty thing I got was a beef soup in a small village in Taiwan but not sure it will qualify as a chinatown! Otherwise, I ate an incredible fish hot pot cook in oil with pig ears and noodles in a Szechuan style restaurent in Vancouver.
