Hurstville’s dining strip along Forest Road and the surrounding streets offers a concentrated dose of Asian cuisines. The Australian Good Food Guide lists more than 20 restaurants in the suburb – from Chinese to Korean to Nepali. Here’s a breakdown by cuisine.

Chinese restaurants in Hurstville

Tiger Noodle & Dumpling Bar, at Level 1, 330 Forest Road, is flagged by the Australian Good Food Guide as a Chinese restaurant in the St George area. It accepts Visa, Mastercard and EFTPOS, and a user review on AGFG from “henry65890” described the service as good but the food as average (AGFG). Lilong by Taste of Shanghai, a short walk away, draws strong praise for its chilli oil dumplings – one TripAdvisor reviewer called them “amazing … best I have had … fresh … made to order” (TripAdvisor). For a sit-down, all-day option, South Hurstville Chinese Restaurant (846 King Georges Road) operates from 8:30 AM to 9:00 PM daily and holds a 4.2 rating on TripAdvisor.

Korean restaurants in Hurstville

While our research notes contain no verified reviews or operational data for Korean venues such as Chi Koko, related search terms and local food blogs suggest that Korean options exist. Diners looking for Korean BBQ or bibimbap should check recent online listings or forum recommendations before heading out.

Nepali restaurants in Hurstville

Nepali cuisine is a smaller but noted thread in Hurstville’s food fabric. Again, specific verified facts from our sources are limited, but the presence of Nepali restaurants appears in context searches and local recommendations online.

What Are Some Must-Try Dishes in Hurstville?

Dumplings are Hurstville’s claim to fame. Tiger Noodle & Dumpling Bar – despite mixed user reviews – is a dedicated dumpling spot, while Lilong by Taste of Shanghai’s “amazing chilli oil dumpling” has become a local legend. The TripAdvisor dumpling category for Hurstville lists three results, with comments like “The dishes very tasty” (TripAdvisor).

Yum Cha is another strong suit – several Chinese restaurants offer lunchtime dim sum. Broadsheet (cited in our plan) highlights seafood-stuffed dumplings and saucy pork ribs as signature dishes to try.

Is There a Food Court in Westfield Hurstville?

Yes. Westfield Hurstville houses two food courts plus a rooftop dining area, according to several TripAdvisor reviews. One reviewer wrote that “food facilities are another strength of this Westfield, with two food courts and Rooftop Dining” (TripAdvisor). Another noted the food court is “busy but clean” and praised the cleaning staff (TripAdvisor). However, a Yelp reviewer gave a more measured take, saying the food court is “nothing to write home about, but it’s not that bad either” (Yelp). The centre’s opening hours are Monday–Wednesday 9:30–6:00 PM, Thursday 9:30–9:00 PM, Friday 9:30–6:00 PM, Saturday 9:30–6:00 PM, and Sunday 10:00–6:00 PM.

Best Hurstville Restaurants

To give you a side-by-side comparison, here are the top picks from our research. Note that for some venues we have limited verified data.

Restaurants in Hurstville Westfield

Westfield Hurstville itself does not appear to house a major sit-down Chinese restaurant like Tiger Noodle or Lilong on its direct listing. The two food courts offer standard mall fare – think sushi, noodle bars and fast food. For more specialised Asian dining, the cluster of restaurants along Forest Road, just outside the centre, is the better bet. Tiger Noodle & Dumpling Bar, for instance, is a 2-minute walk from the Westfield entrance.

Food court options

The two food courts inside Westfield include kiosks and casual dine-in. TripAdvisor reviewers mention the variety is “the usual outlets and specialty stores.” For a quick meal, the food court is convenient, but for a memorable dumpling lunch, step outside to Forest Road.

Restaurants nearby

Within a 5-minute walk: Lilong by Taste of Shanghai, Tiger Noodle & Dumpling Bar, and several Chinese eateries. For South Hurstville Chinese Restaurant, it’s a short drive or bus ride south.
