Best Chinese in Queenstown Central 2026
5 of Queenstown's best chinese, all in Queenstown Central — hand-picked and ranked by locals. See every chinese across Queenstown.
Shanghai2Taipei
Central Queenstown's most complete Chinese restaurant — Shanghai and Taipei cooking, dumplings folded fresh rather than bought in, and a seafood and tofu hot pot that is the reason to come on a cold night. Right on The Mall, so no car needed.
Mandarin Seafood Restaurant
Over forty years in Queenstown, which in a town with this much hospitality churn is a recommendation in itself. Cantonese cooking, pan-fried dumplings and generous portions — consistently flagged by locals as underrated and good value.
King Made Noodles
The local secret — hand-pulled noodles and dumplings on Athol Street, away from the waterfront pricing. It is a small, unshowy room; you come for the noodles, not the fit-out.
Cody's Restaurant
A Sichuan-leaning seafood restaurant on Beach Street, locally owned and cooking for people who actually want the chilli. The most genuinely spiced Chinese menu in the town centre.
