Chinatown Melbourne is a vibrant cultural hub, bustling with authentic Asian cuisine, traditional markets, and colorful street art. The lively atmosphere immerses visitors in a rich tapestry of Chinese culture. From dumpling houses to herbal medicine shops, the district offers a diverse and delightful experience, making it a must-visit destination. Park @ Wilson and other parking area.. street parking hard to find. Disable accessible , All speak English, close to main trains stations and market place.

There were so many hotels, snack items and bakeries available in this lane. During the nights the lights are amazing. The view would give you the cinema effect. The cheesecake taste was extremely good in this area. Try having different items in different restaurants.

Great location for everything Chinese, from restaurants to grocery stores. Also for the budget conscious to fine dining. You'll find it all.

Amazing vibe at night. Great selection of Chinese restaurants. It's always a good idea to book in advance.

Chinatown on a Friday night in December with rain lightly falling, the lanterns brightly red and people still queuing for all the wonderful foods (hand made, fresh dumplings is my fav). Just an utter delight. I was mesmerised, I am every time. Xiexie!

If you love dumplings you must go to China Town in Melbourne’s CBD! There is so much variety it’s very difficult to choose where to eat! A helpful hint: the places with lines outside are the best to eat at and cheap although table service might be poor and the atmosphere very loud! It’s still worth going though!

Excellent place for visitors and locals if you are fond of Chinese food. You'll find a massive variety of Chinese food made by professional chefs. But avoid bringing your car with you in China town because finding parking there is such a difficult job.

It's great being able to travel back into our beautiful CBD

If you like Chinese food it is a good place. Otherwise, it doesn’t worth it to go and visit this place as a tourist attraction. It’s just restaurants and some shops.

This place is the best vibe. We left the theatre and walked until we found a place to eat. It was fabulous food and friendly service.

There isn’t really much to see in the area but Chinatown does feature some great Asian restaurants, of the whole range of prices from cheap eats at food courts frequented by local businessmen and businesswomen, to nice hole-in-the-walls toward the edge of Chinatown rooftop bars around the whole area.

We visited Chinatown Melbourne on the 18th of September 2023. It's lined up many Chinese eateries, and there is a museum you could visit to learn the early days when the Chinese migrate to Melbourne.

Authentic Chinese cuisine and a cultural center filled with Chinese architectures. Great place for those that enjoy Chinese culture.

Enjoyed china town. Loved the little supermarkets and found all the food. They had chinese New year on and we got to see the dragons dance and the fire crackers. Was very loud but was great to see

Smaller than I expected, but a place to visit nonetheless. Quite multicultural, with more than just Chinese to choose from. I love the feeling of being transported back to Asia, even if just for a moment. I prefer the Sydney Chinatown though. Now THAT takes me back..

Hallmark location in middle of CBD that got the best of what Chinese culture offers. We visit this place often as we love Chinese tea, dumplings and the dessert places that are abound here.

I love this place because I used to pass here everyday to go to school. Lots of memories here.

China Town really resembles the Chinese region of the city, with people all the time owning the road in that particular street! It does have some gems, but I won't blurt out any, I think you should do your research, maybe?! You'll enjoy the food! Mostly Chinese style street food, also has many other food options. Perfect place for a hangout with a group of friends or to relax in a lively place, if you are that kind of person. The view here is obviously interesting, with the Chinese themed art here and there.

I assumed I reached the place when I walked through the arches on the road. There wasn't much here aside from restaurants and a few shopping areas. There was a nice area with an archway and a sun yat sen statue. There was also a Museum nearby. There wasn't much other things to see or do though. It is a nice place if you are looking for a place to eat. I was mostly on Little Bourke Street.

Feel like I was in China. Love this place. Plenty food and people. Love the atmosphere.

Restless town!!

Very dirty

This pocket of Melbourne makes for a great evening walk and offers a plethora of restaurant choices. It feels like you could return every night and dine somewhere new. If you are into street art, there are few worth alleys to explore.

Delicious, and surprisingly cheap. Great service.

(Translated by Google) Good taste, is a well-known Wagyu restaurant, the service, environment and dishes are first-rate (Original) 味道不错，是一家知名的和牛馆，服务，环境，菜品都一流

It is one of the better Chinatown's for sure. I've been to me y around the world and I think this one has more diversity. Other Chinatown's I've been to had too much southern style cuisine (Cantonese), which for the record isn't bad. But they didn't have much to offer. I think the Melbourne one had much cuisines from different provinces. I recommend coming here for sure.

Delicious food, amazing place! Very friendly and nice staff, felt very welcome and food was amazing!

great place to get a quite bite with quality chinese food. I would recommend the Korean barbecue though is quite expensive for why you get. A very good snack to get here is the Royal custard puffs they taste awesome. it is a also a really good place for a quality hair cut at Young Hair

A must for Melbourne Food place to hangout with lots of different shops with many different things on sale. Competitive prices and lots of verity. Also lots of good places to eat and drink ranging in prices. Can get a coffee or tea or something to eat in a formal or casual setting.

I always enjoy visiting china town in Melbourne. It is colourful and often some special decorations for the season. You get smells of all the different types of food being cooked from the wide variety of restaurants.

As soon as you enter, you get the feel of china... incredible!!!!!

As someone coming from adelaide, this place is humongous! Its already been like 2 days and I still get lost to this place. Lots of shops to choose from. But warning tho, est too much from restaurants here will make u bigger. Hahaha! Go to this place if youre hungry all restos here never disappoints amazing!!!!!

Good places to eat. Nice spot to have a walk.

Many 5 and 4-star Chinese restaurants, pubs, bars and dining places. Some excellent Japanese, Korean and Thai restaurants as well. What it has is food, what it lacks is cultural activities for visitors.

Good food, reasonable price and a VERY interesting place to visit.

Amazing place. Little China in Melbourne. For years I thought this place to be small and insignificant but now that I explored, it's not that small specially for food. This street has amazing Chinese and Japanese restaurants and food. Visit this place, specially at night. Don't forget to book your restaurant before arrive !

This place needs to be shut to just tables and chairs it’s far too busy and crowded. Food is amazing if you know where to go but place needs to be cleaned up abut and shut off.

Great place to wander around and taste some food at night in Melbourne. Quite a lot of Asian restaurants, but not many grocery stores or souvenir shops. Do some research and book a table before coming.

Maho Magic Bar was such a great experience 👏. If you purchase an additional trick, go for the prison break one, it was the most complex and entertaining one. Music during the magic tricks drowned out the magicians while they talked. I look forward to seeing them again with new tricks.

First time visit. Many Asian restaurants and cuisine. Also managed to find nougats (see the shop in my photo)!

Melbourne’s Chinatown is easily accessible. It is basically an Asian food street with nothing much to see honestly. All there are are asian restaurants.

A great place for Chinese food. Many local restaurants and you can taste food from different parts of China. The street are tidy and nice. There usually have some celebration, the biggest one is Chinese new year. Lots of fun activities and traditional performance.

Awesome spot to soak in Chinese vibes! Tons of tasty Chinese restaurants to pick from, especially when the night kicks in – it's just perfect!😍

One of my absolute favourite places. Amazing food spots that fill your belly and your soul.

Great food options for all kinds of dietary and price ranges and a wonderful nightlife vibe

Great cultural hub and delectable food

nice dumblings n tee

(Translated by Google) You can try good Chinese foods at here. The heritage buildings describe a history of migrants. Multi cultures make Australia a great country. Every city’s Chinatown tells a history. Back in time, the happy lives of the Chinese ancestors, full of blood and tears, have made Chinatown today. Going to see these places, feel the history, and taste the cuisine of the hometown are all good experiences. (Original) You can try good Chinese foods at here.

Well, in Today's Chinatown. I couldn't buy a single cigarette from a native retailer. I had $130 Australian and he still had no interest in my money. My question is, where have U taken my Asians ? I used to have five of my classmates hassling me to buy high grade heroin for $20. I got the feeling today all I can get is Chinese food. Well done Melbourne???

(Translated by Google) Very nice (Original) Sehr schön

Kind person and helpful with full of kindness and family environment

(Translated by Google) Just walk around (Original) 走一走便可

Chinatown here in Melbourne is extensive. They have different wares, chinese medicine shops, asian restaurants and grocery which is attractive to many tourists. A must go to place for asian cravings!

Amazing place can not wait to go to the museum such a beautiful and colourful place

(Translated by Google) The Asian quarter is very lively and friendly, we often go there to taste specialties or just for the atmosphere. The main street is decorated with two beautiful doors nicely decorated, watch out for traffic (Original) Le quartier asiatique est très animé et sympathique, nous y passons souvant pour déguster des spécialités ou juste pour l'ambiance. La rue principale est orné de deux belles portes joliment décoré, attention à la circulation

Nice place.

Too busy & I couldn’t get a park, not recommended

An excellent cultural experience, not to be missed in Melbourne

Full of rude people, not as welcoming and nice looking as it was in the ‘90s.

I'll avoid it at all costs.

Something variety

Just routine place

A single small street in the middle of Melbourne, lots of Chinese eateries on both side of the street.

Just a short walk and all will be covered. Boxhill is reflected Chinatown better than the Chinatown in CBD

Great food and atmosphere

Nostalgia

Cool area to visit.

Same old same old

Very quiet ..... Very unusual

Hip place.

A bit dirty

Great choice at varying prices and quality

Good

Boring me with asian menu...

Chinatown, Melbourne, City of Melbourne, Victoria. Established in 1850s during the Victorian gold rush, it is significant for being the longest continuous Chinese settlement in the Western World and the oldest Chinatown in the South Hemisphere. Feels like home again, Shanghai, Foshan and Guangzhou. I love Yum cha, Cantonese cuisine, Shanghai cuisine and Northern China cuisine, there are delicious cuisine. Great place to take the grandparents, parents and relatives to morning tea and three-course meal. "long ban long lau maan lei to to gong sui wing bat yau to jun liu sai gaan si wan jok to to yat pin chiu lau si hei si sau"

Big range of Asian products with reasonable price. The best one I can find in CBD.

This is chinatown in lockdown with a curfew thrown in as well on a Saturday night...

Lots of great restaurants to try at China Town and many small quaint shops to see as well. It's not a big area and will have walked it in 5 minutes so keep that in mind. You can't spend a full day here, way too long

Brilliant place to go for lunch and dinner there is enough things to do to make it a worth while trip. The best time to go is during Chinese New Years with colourful and cultural events.

Locked down but still there for a lush Asian takeaway if you know where to look...

A beautiful vibrant place with a significant amount of restaurants.

You forget you are still in Melbourne when you walk through this street.

Perfect place to just chill and relax. There’s lots of different restaurants to choose from. Pretty architecture that is unique. At night time it’s even better, there’s neon signs and beautiful lanterns that light up the path of Chinatown. It can be a little bit dangerous at night if you’re by yourself but I suppose that applies to all areas of the city. I recommend at least walking through Chinatown if you’re visiting Melbourne.

Fabulous restaurants

Eat until you drop. It's quality, quantity, and super competitive service. Melbourne's Chinatown is a great place to visit.

Awesome street, just feels a bit dirty and unclean. Other than that very good place to visit.

Even though many Asian restaurant in Chinatown Melbourne, I still love Box hill is better.

What can I say that hasn't already been said? Due to covid numbers here have fallen.. so if u enjoy this culture, better rush before crowds come back

Chinatown is an ethnic enclave in the Central Business District (CBD) of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Centred at the eastern end of Little Bourke Street, it extends between the corners of Swanston and Spring Streets, and consists of numerous laneways, alleys and arcades. Established in the 1850s during the Victorian gold rush, it is notable for being the longest continuous Chinese settlement in the Western World and the oldest Chinatown in the Southern Hemisphere. Westward view of Chinatown Melbourne's Chinatown has played an important role in establishing the culture of Chinese immigrants in Australia, and is still home to many Chinese restaurants, cultural venues, businesses and places of worship. Today, Melbourne's Chinatown is a major tourist attraction, known for its architectural heritage, annual festivals and cuisines of Asian origins, as well as its variety of Asian restaurants, karaoke venues, bars and fashion boutiques. Beyond Chinatown and the CBD, Melbourne's Chinese community is well-represented in other areas of the city, most notably Box Hill, where a $450 million development named "New Chinatown" is currently being constructed. Chinatown is home to the Chinese Museum.

It's such a shame to see China town become the shell it is now. Famous restaurants such as shark fin house and other great places are now closed. I have hope it will return to the grandeur of old

Very delicious meal and warmly welcome from all member of restaurant

My husband and I have been going to Supper Inn for at least the last twenty years. Over the last couple of years we have been taking the kids along. We all love it! Supper Inn's food has remained consistent and is comfort Chinese cuisine. Don't be afraid to ask for any non-listed menu items such as Chinese broccoli with garlic. That alone is so delicious and pairs beautifully with their special fried rice. Salivating just thinking about it!

So awesome! A place to enjoy the china culture and the chine food you can g to enjoy with your friends and your family too it's an amazing place to find the best dumping in Melbourne!!!

Quite a lot of decent Asian restaurants in this area. However parking is a nightmare here. Would not recommend coming here with a car.

As the name suggest - China town. One can find chinese decoration along this road and restaurants. Personally came and took photos. Spend sometime at Kmart to get some discounted items. Public Toilet is at lvl1 beside the Kmart building. Do ask Kmart staff for direction.

I assumed I reached the place when I walked through the arches on the road. There wasn't much here aside from restaurants and a few shopping areas. There was a nice area with an archway and a sun yat sen statue. There was also a Museum nearby. There wasn't much other things to see or do though. It is a nice place if you are looking for a place to eat. I was mostly on Little Bourke Street.

It has been there for a long time but the style and sale do not seem to stand out much at all. Herbal medicine may do some good

CNY celebrations are incredible here, the mass of people and lion dances are simply awesome. Cannot deny, the food is always great at every restaurant I've attended, too!

"Chinatown Melbourne is a vibrant and colourful part of the city. The streets are filled with an amazing range of eateries, shops, and markets. I love the atmosphere and the variety of food and goods available. The street art is also amazing and the vibe is great. Highly recommend visiting Chinatown Melbourne to experience the culture and energy of the area."

This was my very first time witnessing the Chinese New Year and it was indeed a brilliant experience. The people, the happiness, the enthusiasm and the clebrations were all very heart warming and beautiful. This is one of the stating points where it seems that I will fall in love with this city.

Chinatown Melbourne is full of bright lights, people and dumplings! There are so many restaurants here, google search what your looking for but if you want authentic Chinese you have to come here.

Good place to eat good dumplings and verify of good Chinese cousine. But unlike China Town that I have seen in other cities and other countiresI have visited , what I see here mostly restaurants here not many shops or any other activities.

Chinatown is a vibrant, colourful and sometimes super crowded place. There are plenty of eateries and some of them have queues out the door. You might like to try Empress of China or Dessert Story. I went on a recent Thursday night and it was quieter. For a visual experience any day is a good day

Our evening in Melbourne's Chinatown was a feast for the senses, as we indulged in some of the most mouth-watering and budget-friendly dishes in town. Starting at Shanghai Street, we savoured the delicate flavours of the best dumplings we've ever tasted. Next, we headed to Dainty Sichuan Hotpot, where we were treated to a first-class dining experience and some of the most flavourful and spicy Sichuan-style noodles we've ever had. Finally, we made our way to Dessert Story, where we indulged in a decadent and delicious dessert that was the perfect end to our night. A 100/100 experience to have if you visit Melbourne CBD

It is a place where there are many restaurants of many nationalities for you to choose from, whether it be Chinese, Japanese or Korean food, and you can travel easily.

Melbourne’s Chinatown is a vibrant and bustling area located in the heart of the CBD. It is a place where you can immerse yourself in Chinese culture and enjoy a wide variety of Chinese cuisine.

Not as active as before. Pretty quiet these days. Only a few nice restaurants around
