If you like Sea Food fresh, this is a good spot to visit. Almost before returning to our seats having requested prawns from the display tanks, they were there ready for us to sample and enjoy. The full range of Chinese style sea food is available and always good. Recommended. More

While in Sydney in February 2012, on one fine evening, my son took us to a city centre restaurant that has become one of HIS favourites - Golden Century Chines Restaurant on Sussex Street, Haymarket NSW. From the moment we arrived, the service and friendliness was there in abundance. We felt like VIP's and that set the tone for the... More

Love the food and the variety of food to choose from. The service was and is always outstanding and has an extensive wine list. The salt and pepper prawns and the 2 course duck is a must every time! More

Went here after a show. A big place which would seat hundreds, so theres an army of bustling staff. Really come alive late. If you fancy fresh seafood theres a big choice in the tanks around the wall. You could go the alphabet of seafood starting with abalone. Theres a good collection of lobsters there but it would be for... More

If you are an adventurous eater, this restaurant in Sydney's Chinatown is a fun place to visit. The menu is enormous and varied, but the main attraction, at least for me, was the live fish tanks. Coral trout, Red Morwang, Parrot Fish, Pipi, Abalone, Mud Crab - things I'd barely heard about, let alone eaten. A little guy in a... More

It's loud and noisy. But the seafood if great. Whether its an early dinner before a show, or a late one at the end of the night, it is consistent . Great noisy atmosphere and fast fast service. Worth a try. More

Walking around enjoying Sydney we happened to see the aquarium in this chinatown restaurant. Without any prior reservation and seeing a lot of Chinese customers lined up to get in, we joined the line and it took about 30 minutes to be seated at the second floor. Lobster was A$188.00 but a lot of Chinese had them on their table.... More

Their deep fried Chilli Mud crab really speaks for itself... and the Chinese here is great for a quick and very tasty meal. Service is quick, but don't expect too much hospitality.. More
