Sunnybank Asian Food Crawl
$Brisbane's unofficial Chinatown, the best Asian food outside of Asia
Eat your way through Brisbane's most authentic Asian food precinct across multiple plazas and food courts in Sunnybank, 14km south of the CBD. Unlike a single restaurant, Sunnybank is an entire suburb built around Asian cuisine, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Thai, Malaysian, and more. The hub is Market Square and Sunnybank Plaza, with dozens of restaurants and food courts packed into a few blocks. Locals consider it the best Asian food in Australia outside Sydney.
