I visited Adelaide’s China Town yesterday with friends. We sat outside one of the venues. Ordered inside, with it served to us. Our meals were okay. Not the best we have had but I give mine 7/10.

We went to the first one with available outside table/ chairs.if I were to go to China town again, I’d be more selective, aiming for something with more meat and vegetables, where as this w...

Chinatown is a small street between Gouger and Grote Streets next to the Central Market. I visited on a Sunday and it was pretty quiet.

There are no shops open as we arrived just past 9am in Chinatown. The only shop was opened is the Bread shop at the front. Later in the day we returned to Chinatown and found a lot of interesting shops and market. Highly recommended the Central Market which has different varieties of food and cafe. We loved the Portuguese custard tarts shop and it tasted very authentic.

A nice surprise to spot the Chinatown right in the CBD of Adelaide. Signature gates at both ends. It’s clean, full of character. A awesome place for enjoying Chinese food and culture.

Parking here can be a bit difficult since it's in the city center, but it's right next to the Central Market, so you can easily v...

When is the best time to visit Chinatown Adelaide South Australia (Adelaide, Australia)?

In February’s Lunar New Year street party you’ll see lion dances and fireworks. In October–November the OzAsia Moon Lantern Trail lights up after dark – crowds peak at dusk, so arrive early with your stroller.
