Where to eat and stay in Chinatown
119 cafés, restaurants, bars, hotels and motels in Chinatown, Singapore — compiled from open data and public registers. Free to search, and no venue pays to appear.
We hold 119 venues in Chinatown — 118 places to eat and 1 to stay. That makes it the 12th-largest of the 347 towns and suburbs we cover in Singapore, carrying 1% of the region's venues. Nationally it sits 12th out of 347 places.
Of the places to eat, 12% are cafés against a national figure of 22%. Chinatown skews 10 points away from cafés and towards takeaways, a pattern more typical of an evening trade. The full split is 14 cafés, 29 restaurants, 58 takeaways, 15 bars and 2 pubs.
75 of the 118 eating places carry a cuisine tag. The most common are chinese (35), korean (8) and juice (6). Relative to the rest of the country Chinatown is unusually strong on fujian, juice and dessert — those appear here at a higher rate than the national average.
On the practical detail: 13 publish opening hours (11%), 5 are recorded as step-free, 65 have outdoor seating and 1 flag vegetarian options. That trails the 21% national average — worth ringing ahead rather than trusting the listing.
Places of a similar size — Geylang (124), Crawford (114), Moulmein (114) and Pasir Ris Central (103) — average 6% accommodation. Chinatown runs at 1%, much the same, so on this measure it behaves like its peers.
All of this is derived from open data rather than collected from listings sites: OpenStreetMap for the venues, public registers for verification. 1 of the 119 venues in Chinatown carry at least six recorded attributes and so have a page of their own; the rest are listed here, because a page with only a name and a map pin on it would be worth nobody's time. A blank field means unrecorded, not absent. Nothing here is scraped from a commercial directory, no venue has paid to appear, and we publish no ratings or reviews of our own.
