6 Restaurants in Canberra: Chinese

You may not know that a small Australian city like this has its own thriving scene of Chinese restaurants, but Canberra is full of pleasant surprises. To the north-west of Canberra Central around Childers Street are many Chinese restaurants that offer a warm welcome. For a delicious, authentic and filling meal at one of the Chinese restaurants favoured by Canberra's local student population, head down to Yummy Chinese BBQ on Childers Lane. The all-you-can-eat buffet offers incredible value for money as well as an incredible taste sensation, with unlimited servings of dishes like roast pork with pineapple, shiitake mushrooms, and delicious squid for you to fill your boots with. If you'd prefer to select your favourite items from a menu, there are also a la carte dishes like black fungus salad and steamed chicken with chilli sauce to whet your appetite.

Dumplings are popular all over the world, and it’s no different in east Asia. Perfect as snacks to quell hunger pangs, dumplings are also excellent as starters before a main course is served. Don’t miss the ones on offer at Canberra's Chinese restaurants like Yat Bun Tong, located just a little north of the city centre on Lonsdale Street and known for some of the finest dumplings in town. Prepare to enjoy its steamed delights with chicken or prawn fillings, or get the pan-fried mixed vegetable dumpling set if you’re vegetarian. With a range of sides and sauces to go with your order, a visit here will open the door to some of the best-quality comfort food Canberra's Chinese restaurants can give you.
