Yum Cha at The Eight

The Eight continues to set the bar for the best yum cha in Sydney. Located on the top floor of Market City in Chinatown, dining at this large 750-person establishment is a loud and lively affair. Trolleys stacked with bamboo-baskets are filled with traditional yum cha delicacies like tender dumplings and barbecued pork and The Eight’s famous mango pancakes are guaranteed to curb your hunger pangs.  

Location

A 10-minute walk from Central Station, Sydney’s Chinatown is a hive of activity morning through night. Stop by Paddy’s Markets (Wednesday to Sunday) for Aussie knickknacks before filling up on yum cha or eating like a local at one of Chinatown’s underground food halls. A free shuttle (route 555) runs from Central Station to Circular Quay via George Street and the Light Rail also stops at Haymarket MLR.
