Chinatown Ideas
Goin' down to Chinatown: The new axes of awesome
A new wave of restaurants is changing the face of Chinatown. By Myffy Rigby
1. Uighur Cuisine Uighur
Uighur is a mix of northern Chinese and Turkish food. Expect dishes such as skewered lamb with cumin, boiled handmade noodles and pilaf.
2. Twisted Noodle Bar Yunannese
It's the noodle bar where you dictate the heat. Make sure to order a side of cold bitter melon.
3. Kiroran Uighur
Travel down the Silk Road without leaving Dixon Street. Try noodles chopped into tiny pieces with lamb.
4. Izakaya Kasumi Japanese
Four words for you: Noodles. On. A. Waterslide. This kooky new izakaya offers lunch specials for under $6.
5. Gumshara Japanese
The Fat Albert of tonkotsu ramen features soup stock so thick and collagen rich, it's like eating a delicious pork-flavoured shampoo!
6.Delima Cuisine Indonesian
Delima combines fried chicken, crab and nasi goreng-style favourites with a flash neo-Chinatown setting.
7. Arisun Korean
Arrive early in the evening to get a place out in the courtyard. Order a basket of soy flavour fried chicken, some shoju and Korean beers.
8. Crazy Wings Beijing
Like to eat things on sticks? This is the restaurant for you. They even offer skewered toast!
9. Mamak Malaysian
You can't book, and the line crawls down Goulburn Street for the Malaysian flatbread filled with everything from eggs to ice-cream.
10. Room 27 Taiwanese
Crystal curtains, glossy black walls and booths, Asian boy bands on flatscreens and excellent fried rice.
11. Golden Sichuan Sichuan
Try the thin strips of pork belly wrapped around Chinese celery in chilli sesame oil or shredded chicken riddled with burning-yet-cooling Sichuan pepper.
12. Little Lamb Northern Chinese
A new northern Chinese hotpot restaurant with the cutest name in town.
13. Chinatown night market Malaysian, Japanese, northern Chinese...
Wander around Dixon Street for octopus balls, chicken satay grilled over hot coals or trying ten different types of Asian style liquorice.
14. Shanghai Tang Shanghai
It's like Din Tai Fung without the queues. Order the soup-filled dumplings and the dessert dumpling filled with black sesame paste.
15. Wagaya Japanese
Touch screens! They're the first in Australia to have them, it's as close to being in Tokyo as you're going to get in Sydney.
16. Smile Mart Korean
You come here for one thing only - the gargantuan, 32cm soft-serve cone in strawberry, chocolate or vanilla for only $2.90.
17. Kana Express Korean
A Korean food bar selling chilli rice cakes, deep-fried sushi (yes, really), Korean style hotdogs and other things on sticks.
18. O Bal Tan Korean
Next door to Sydney Madang, this Korean barbecue joint feature a gigantic model of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Go figure.
19. Sydney Madang Korean
Korean style barbecue. Order secondary cuts such as beef ribs and skirt steak.
20. Best Friend Chung Jin Dong Korean Restaurant Korean
Order the whole fried chicken with chilli and an 850ml Sapporo. There's Korean pop on flatscreens and a man making balloon animals for every table!
21. Shinara Grill Korean
One of the more attractive new Korean restaurants in the 'hood. A good selection of meats and plenty of beers on offer.
22. Saap Thai
All your favourites are here: pad thai, a very spicy chicken laab and curries galore.
23. Iima Thai
Iima adjoins new bar, Mr B's, on the old Mandarin Club site. All the usuals are here – pad thai, crisp pork belly – as well as a deep fried som tum.
24. Thainatown Thai
One of Sydney's first authentic Thai restaurants. They offer everything from pork jelly soup to stir-fried pork and peppercorns.
25. Three Mama Chefs Thai
A restaurant by Thais and for Thais, 3 Mamas specialises in casual Thai diner-style eats.
26. Chat Thai Thai
Give the daytime menu a miss and turn up late for supper, where you'll be greeted by more interesting fare. Love the savoury steamed egg custard.
27. Lucky Thai Sweets and Video Thai
OK, it's a shop. But you can buy takeaway, pre-packaged meals more authentic than you'd find at most restaurants, prepared by Thai nannas in the 'burbs.
28. Chilli Cha Cha Thai Thai
This is just the place to hook into hearty serves of hot sour soup with soft pork bones or hot and spicy wild pig while the dulcet tones of Bangkok pop videos blare overhead.
29. Spice I Am Thai
Sydney's best Thai. Try the nham kao tod - a salad of crisp rice, pork sausage, peanuts and more chilli than you thought humanly possible. It hurts so good.
