Top Best Chinese Restaurants in City of Parramatta Council

"Golden Century has been serving Sydneysiders with classic Cantonese fare for more than three decades. Many of its popular orders are now legendary, the pippies with XO sauce most of all. Arrive at midnight or a few hours later on a Sunday and you might see some of Sydney’s best chefs bulldozing their way through out-of-the-tank seafood, mud crab with ginger and shallot, and maybe a bizarre mix of cheap imported beer and luxury wines."

"It would be remiss not to include this legendary seafood restaurant in our top 10 – the midday to late-night venue (it’s open till 4am!) is well known for hosting hungry chefs post-service and celebrities like Lady Gaga and Rihanna, post-stadium concerts. Top dishes: pippies with XO sauce, steamed live prawns and steamed parrot fish with ginger and shallots. 393-399 Sussex St, Sydney, goldencentury.com.au"

"Located in Chinatown, this sprawling Cantonese restaurant is something of an institution. Thanks to its live seafood menu and late-night hours, it’s where the best chefs go to eat after they’ve finished their shifts. The menu is massive but you can’t go wrong with the steamed lobster or pippies in XO sauce and the salt and pepper mud crab"

"From dumplings to desserts, Spice Alley’s vast array of restaurants make them the perfect place to experience delicious Asian cuisine on a budget. When you’re on the hunt for a variety of Asian restaurants in one lovely setting head to Spice Alley to try a wide range of exciting dishes from Chinese to Singaporean. Take a stroll down Kensington Street and discover popular restaurants like Old Jim Kee, an authentic Malaysian spot that is exceptional in stir-fry dishes and deep-fried treats; or Thai eatery Bang Luck, known for its gluten-free selection."

"Restaurants Chippendale. Tucked behind the Kensington Street laneway, Spice Alley rings together a whole bunch of hawker-style stalls from around the globe. Food is cheap, easy on the eye, and importantly – you can BYO wine (or something stronger, if you'd prefer)."

"Tucked away in the lane of Kensington Street is the popular Spice Alley. Found between chic cafes and trendy bars, this restaurant is one of the best places for Asian cuisine. Serving fusion style Japanese, Malaysian and Singaporean dishes."

"There’s no getting away from it, the basement home of Neil Perry’s regional Chinese diner, is downright sexy. The food ambitiously travels via Sichuan, Yunnan, Hunan, Jiangxi and Xinjiang, with a menu that includes upscale versions of casual streetfood dishes, the kind you find all over China. Chilli plays strongly across the menu, but in a warm and numbing way rather than a bring-me-a-fire-extinguisher-now manner."

"This is a Chinese restaurant that does not serve any Cantonese dishes. Instead, you'll find a menu that roams China from Sichuan to Yunnan to Guangxi. Go with a bunch of friends and try as many different dishes for the table as you can."

"Did you know that dumplings are double the size in Sydney that they are in Melbourne?. Scout's honour - the ones in Sydney you pretty much need to bite in half, whereas Melbourne's versions generally go straight in the cake hole. You also get more variation here and the trolleys make the rounds more regularly."

"Marigold is one of the oldest and best Chinese restaurants in Sydney. For unpretentious eats and plenty of variety, from classics like prawn dumplings and barbeque pork buns, you have to be quick as the trollies move fast. The space is huge and nurtures a warm, communal atmosphere."

"If you’re hankering for dumplings, this restaurant offers some pretty sweet deals, all available for takeaway. 📍 Taste of Shanghai, 100 Burwood Rd, Burwood NSW 2134"

"Bondi to Bronte walk – a must do when you visit Australia Catch the ferry to Manly – a cheap way to experience beautiful Sydney Harbour with stunning views of the city is to catch the ferry from Circular Quay to Manly and back. In Manly, walk down the palm tree-lined Corso towards the beach for an ice-cream, walk around to picturesque Shelly Beach, or grab a cold beer at Manly Wharf Hotel. Time your return ferry trip back to the Quay to coincide with the sunset behind the harbour bridge."

"Little Manly Beach in Sydney Harbour is an ideal hangout for families with kids of all ages. The water is calm, clean, and there are plenty of grass areas to roam around. When the little ones are done splashing and swimming, they can head over to the playground areas for even more active excitement."

"Named after William Bradley, a Royal Navy officer who participated in the First Fleet to Australia, Bradleys Head is quite a fascinating place to visit. The first thing you’ll notice is the huge mast that stands tall and proud at the edge of the cliff, overlooking Sydney Harbour. The mast was the foremast of HMAS Sydney, a light cruiser that was broken up on Cockatoo Island in 1929."

"The trail continues past Athol Bay and arrives at Bradleys Head, a unique and historical spot in Sydney Harbour National Park. The first thing you will notice is the huge mast standing tall and proud at the edge of the cliff, overlooking the Harbour. This used to be the foremast of HMAS Sydney, a light cruiser that was broken up on Cockatoo Island in 1929."
