Justin was great. Excellent knowledge base. Very friendly. The amount of food and the location of the stops were excellent. Timed perfectly. He even had laminated photos and documents to share about the Chinese history in Australia and Sydney. We recommend whole heartedly.

Full description

Sydney’s Chinatown is full of secrets and excellent restaurants, and on this experience, you’re going to see and taste a bit of everything!

On this tour you’ll sample a range of street foods and snacks from some of Chinatown’s best restaurants, with a minimum of 4 food samples included. All samples are snacks or street foods that represent different parts of China and are designed to be eaten on the move. Vegetarians, vegans and guests with other dietary requirements are more than welcome – just let us know in advance.

This tour has a strong focus on uncovering Sydney’s long connection with China, and the contributions Chinese-Australians have made to the community. You’ll learn more in 2.5 hours about Australia’s Chinese community than you could possibly imagine, and “pub trivia” style games will keep it interactive and fun.

At the end of the tour, you’ll get a souvenir to take home, plus a great map and guide to Chinatown, covering all the best restaurants and what to order.

Includes

  • 4 or 5 regional Chinese street foods
  • Souvenir
  • Photos shared after the tour
  • Guide to Chinatown’s best restaurants
  • Hotel pickup and drop-off
  • Gratuities

Not suitable for

Meeting point

The tour starts outside Paddy's Markets, directly across from the southern end of Dixon St mall. If you're looking across the light rail tracks and you can see Emperor's Garden restaurant (not Emperor's Garden BBQ), Covent Garden hotel and the Chinatown red gates, you're in the right spot. Please read this again and don't be that guest waiting on the wrong side of the road.
