Sydney's Chinatown celebrates the city's multicultural community with food, shops, and festivals. Thanks to the Chinese immigrants that arrived as early as the 1800s, Sydney's Chinatown is one of the largest of its kind. You can find everything here, from small specialist stores and sprawling Asian grocers to noodle bars in hidden food halls and tucked-away fine-dining restaurants. Not to mention lively markets and late-night karaoke. Take a food tour to discover eats the locals love.
