The best Chinese food in Sydney, according to the experts: the Australian Good Food Guide, The 50, and Eater have all weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Mr. Wong comes out on top.

Rank 1. Mr. Wong
Southern Chinese Cantonese
A two-floor Cantonese restaurant that seats 240 people without feeling like an airport terminal, which is some feat. Raw brick walls hung with portraits of 1930s Shanghai women set the mood, and the menu runs to 80-odd dishes roaming across Southern China. It's loud, it's handsome, and the kitchen genuinely manages sour, sweet, umami, and spice all at once rather than just promising to.

Rank 3. Taste of Shunde
Cantonese
Shunde, a Cantonese city with UNESCO gastronomy status, doesn't get much representation in Sydney, which is what makes this Hurstville restaurant worth knowing. The menu leans into dishes you won't find on every dim sum trolley, including fried milk, which arrives either savory with fish cakes and roe or sweet with mango, and fried milk rolls that land somewhere between a spring roll and a cannoli.
