- We are BACK with one of the BIGGEST food tour videos ever! What upppp CHINATOWN!
We originally had a budget of $100 but that flew out the window LOL we ate a LOT this video so I hope you're excited! There's noodles, dumplings, buns and desserts. We try food from Northern China, Eastern China, Southern China, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
We visit Kwan Noodle Bar, Mother Chu's Taiwanese Gourmet, Nanjing Dumpling, Xi'an Cuisine, Hong Kong Day Dessert and of course, Emperor's Garden Cream Puffs. Special mentions to Super Bowl Chinese Restaurant, Happy Chef and Dragon Espresso who we wanted to hit, but couldn't make it to in today's video - all of which are important businesses in Chinatown's food scene!

I have a few goals in my life
One of them is to try every dish Kev had in his channel
Thanks heaps mate 😁😁 hope you enjoy everything!
good work - told me more about places I walk past all the time but have never tried.
Great video. Going to Sydney in August. Can't wait to check out these places. Thank you!
Hope you have the best time when you're in Sydney Arthur!
@@SydneyFoodBoy Thank you so much!
Nice vid mate. Good intel for next trip into town.
Thanks heaps mate!! Hope you're doing some great BBQing!
I've added these all to my next trip!
I always eat at the same places when i'm in chinatown so would definitely check these places out. Now I know what to get too!
Thanks for sharing!! I miss Sydney. Will try the sauce recipe for the dumplings!
Make sure the chilli oil isn't too overpowering like this one was 😂
Awesome vid. Can't believe how much prices have gone up in Sydney! Crazy!
Crazy indeed!
Great vlog guys 😋
🙏🙏🙏 Jan!
nice works lads
good video mate
Love Chinatown and blood jelly yum. Thank you Kevin 😘
Thanks for watching!!
Love to watching your chanel 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you so much for watching!!!
nice to see Kwan noodle bar get a shout out - Cart noodle is great, owner is friendly. Unfortunately they closing up shop - last day of trading will be Saturday 29th October 2022. So anyone want to try it get in before they gone
They are indeedy closing up shop, and I found out afterward. Sad about it! They do great work
thats a shame. owner said they opened at the start of covid. tough
The Sussex Centre food court is one of my favourite places in the world!
Great 👍 video Kev . How do you know how to speak Vietnamese ? sometimes the emperor puff place has a long line in the day time . I’ve been to Chinatown in Sydney before but I haven’t been to those Chinese restaurants. Usually people eat the fried bread stick with congee or rice porridge.
It's more like just a snack tour. Some entree, some dessert, and some dim sum. No main course yet, mate! 😂
Limited buget? 😂
Must be inflation
Thanks for showing me what is out there. I did Ho Jiak last time. Just comes to show how much I need to try. Damn u making me hungry. Thanks for doing these restaurants.
And thank you for watching Jasper! :)
I like everything mango 🥭 those sweets look so delicious 😋 okay 👍🏼
I loved all of the sweets!
Good if you could go behind the scenes of Garlos pies or Mrs Macs Pies ....
OMG I miss Sussex centre! Used to eat laksa and eggplant rice there :)
It's a great spot! I love Sussex centre!
@@SydneyFoodBoy yayyyy, totally agreed! Thanks for this fabulous video 🔥🔥🔥
The light rail single handedly killed off Chinatown and the southern end of the Sydney CBD. There is no connectivity with with the northern end, remember when they had the free 555 shuttle bus. They should make the light rail (or public transport in general) free between the boundaries of the CBD like Melbourne. It's a wasted resource anyway if no one is using it.
Great vid & new places/things to try 🤤 Curious what you would have thought of the Happy Chef laksa. Had the prawn laksa recently, not 'happy'. Price gone up, size & quality down. Very ordinary, hoping it was not the end of an era.
Haven't had Happy Chef in a while but I usually get the laksa with beef tripe and love it! Thanks for watching John 🙂🙂
Happy chef used to be my go to. Never tried the laksa there to be honest, but I remember loving their egg noodles. Used to go there for years as a kid
Haven't been to Chinatown in ages.
Nice one sydney boy
Thank you Jessica!
Kwan noodle bar closing for good bro
Wow that Kevin dude is very handsome
Please do a\ PART 2!
You went to Nanjing dumpling and didn’t get their duck blood vermicelli 😮 or salted duck 😮 that is nanjings main speciality 😂
Nanjing dumplings is one of my happy places in Sydney! So underrated.
You missed out the BEST Viet food in Aus.. There's a famous Viet eatery inside the MontBatten hotel which is China Town imho.
what’s the name of the restaurant?
Bit late to be promoting that event Kev! It’s 25th Oct today
It's on for another month 🙂
Sorry dude just looked it up! thought that sign said Oct 20th… eyes are playing tricks on me! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Happy Cheff.. ..our go to for 30+yrs.. ..ups and downs but the best by far.. ..loyalty is a rare commodity..
No nonsense just eat the damn thing food quality..
Those fancy over excess show foods are only for clout and, well.. ..I'll stop typing now..😪
more screentime of bryan thanks 😙
he's so shy!
Bro u look familiar
I grew up in canley heights but idk ….
I swear I know u somewhere
But where??? Lol
😂
Don’t just laugh at me
Answer me pls lol
lol we pronounce it say-go in new zealand
I wonder how far apart they have between each meal. I will be so full.
No breaks! Was stuffed 🥲😂
@@SydneyFoodBoy amazing! Wish I can do that! Looks yummy.
I am definitely checking out Mother Chu's for that Black Pepper Pork Bun. You would enjoy the Hungry Paulie Pie at Hungry Paulie if you check out World Square
Kinda pricey for mango pancakes… makes yum cha mango pancakes seem so cheap in comparison. Must try that cake tho!
Vale BBQ King :(
We don't want anymore closures of our beloved businesses!
have you been working out ? or getting plump ? lol - you look bulkier ! lol :)
Heaps more funnier vibe bro
Thanks Phil!
@@SydneyFoodBoy love your channel been watching from the beginning; keep up the great work bro!
Appreciate the support! You're a day 1 😁
OK I couldn't smell your feet !
$20.83 for a fried chicken? Get the fuck outta here.
Language 🙄
Haven't been in Sydney for five years, but spent most of my life there and spent alot of time in Chinatown. Cannot believe how inflated the prices are! 😳😳😳
Chinatown is dead as.
Shouldn't be
good content.
Chinatown is so used to having day trippers & tourists falling over themselves to eat there they’ve never had to even try with customer service etc & when that stopped with Covid they struggle because locals know it’s overpriced & quality sometimes suffers, they’ve never had to make an effort, never had to rely on return clients whereas suburban Asian restaurants have always relied on service & quality because the whole basis of their business is getting the same people in week in week out
Two very different business models with similar food & it’s where Chinatown has fallen in a bit of a hole
Different way of looking at it, I respect it! But on the flip side, definitely can't categorise ALL Chinatown businesses like that! There are many that are family owned small businesses not on the main strip that rely as much on good service and word of mouth 🙂
Maybe the pricing has to do with location ie comparing Sydney CBD with say Cabramatta??
I think Chinatown slowly dying .. all the oldies but goodie places are gone. BBQ King was a classic
