What you’ll do
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 receive a map and guide to Chinatown, covering all the best restaurants and what to order.
What’s included

Group size:
Tour start time:
Flexible – this tour can operate with a start time between 9:00 am to 6:30 pm (2.5 hour duration).
Age range:
This tour is great for all ages, including children. Given the content of the stories, we recommend it for children aged 8 and above.
Accessibility:
This tour is wheelchair-friendly and accessible for guests with vision-impairments. We cover approximately 1.25km but the route is flat, with no stairs or inclines. The total walking time is approximately 30 minutes, but with plenty of food stops along the way.
Dietary notes:
Vegetarians, vegans, guests with gluten-free diets and any other dietary requirements are more than welcome – just let us know in advance. Please note that we can serve vegetarian/vegan OR gluten-free foods, but if you require both, we will struggle to provide suitable alternatives and would not recommend the tour. If you’re vegetarian and require gluten-free food, that is OK though.
How much food is included?
We include 4 to 5 snacks or samples of regional Chinese street foods. For most guests, the amount of food is equivalent to a lunch meal, but this is not a “heavy” food tour, which is why it is priced more affordably. Your guide will provide lots of recommendations of other dishes to try, if you still have room after the tour.
Start location
We meet outside Paddy’s Markets, directly across from the southern end of Dixon St mall (opposite the Covent Garden hotel and Emperor’s Garden restaurant).
End location
We finish basically where we start, at the red gates at the southern end of Dixon St.
