Sydney has the largest Chinatown in the Southern Hemisphere and with over 200 restaurants, choosing a place to eat can be daunting. How well do you know the hidden hole-in-the-wall eateries, the back-lane dumpling joints, and the family-owned restaurants that have existed here for decades?
Justin Steele of Local Sauce Tours. runs a number of small-group tours in Sydney, and his latest is a two-hour deep dive into Chinatown. It’s designed to support restaurants, share Chinese-Australian history and bring both locals and tourists back into the area. It helps that Steele, a Brisbane native who lived and studied in Taiwan, speaks fluent Mandarin.
