Yeah that's not bad. This is another good Malaysian place, google "nanyang kopi sydney". Much more limited menu but the food is quite authentic.

Or Malay Chinese takeaway for noodle soup:

Not really in Chinatown though.

The Eight yumcha probably the best in Sydney right now after all their competition closed down. It's sad really.... Not much choices around these days.

Get some fried chicken at Two Peck. Medium spicy + garlic. Unbelievable stuff. Do this AFTER punting, you don’t want to subject a lady to that breath.

Tenkomori underneath George and Bathurst is pretty good post punt.

There s another Malaysian resto in darling square Chinta Ria, this is my go if im feeling like Malay or Singaporean feeds

Not Chinatown, but a buddy introduced me to this great Indonesian place recently: https://maps.app.goo.gl/5dSZUvuc1MXWSnc3A

Another vote for Malay Chinese laksa as well - I first went there 20+ years ago when it was underground on Castlereagh Street. Always consistently good.

Mensho is now my favourite ramen place, reminds me of a place I went to in Osaka - expensive but really good: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ussATST5JKbBjojt7

Tried this joint yesterday for yumcha.

Not bad, parking in the building so that’s a bonus.

Tried mensho after noticing long queues for it when it first opened. Terrible. First sign of trouble was when I saw the customer seated next to me at the bar didn't finish even half of his bowl when he left. I barely finished mine too. Not a single item on their menu is actually any authentic ramen dish. This place is not a ramen restaurant, it's just another "fusion" restaurant that serves mostly ramen.

It's definitely more modern and innovative rather than traditional, but that's just their philosophy. It still has the same very high standard for local ingredients as their Tokyo shops, and is considered to be on par with them in terms of quality. It's for sure a modern interpretation of ramen, but still respects the fundamental balance of the five ramen elements—sauce, soup, noodles, oil, and toppings. To say it's "terrible" is just silly.
