Emperor's Garden Restaurant - Haymarket

Whether or not this was a conscious marketing decision, putting a bit of London’s Covent Garden smack dab in the middle of Sydney’s Chinatown, at the bottom of Dixon Street, seems a good move, and the fellow behind me in the line at the bar seemed really quite pleased to be in a pub called Covent Garden.

Good People Watching. Never eaten there (didn't know you could), but situated at the bottom end of Dixon St., opposite Paddy's Markets, it's a great place to sit outside, have a coldie watch the passing parade especially all the various buskers hawkers on the weekends.

I love hanging out at this place on karaoke night, it's like being on the Wish version of Glee (which is already pretty sketchy if I'm honest). The crowd is supportive and the presenter has a wonderful voice of her own. I recommend everyone give singing a go here! The vibe is casual so no need to feel shy or awkward. Get in quick because the sign up sheet fills up fast! Also decent chips.

What a wonderful atmosphere and experience. Friday night karaoke with a supportive crowd. We felt like we heard the voice of an unexpected angel singing an Italian opera song! Moved us to tears. We will be back if he is a regular at karaoke night! By any chance do you know the name of the song he sang? Please let us know

Great spot to sit and watch the Chinatown world go by. Cold beer, friendly service and tasty bar snacks.
