I never thought I'd see the day where Chinese Noodle House gets a run on Hacker News (albeit in a comment). But can definitely second this for dumplings - my favourite place to go after uni.
Just to add a useless comment to this three day old thread - I have been conducting an ad hoc, opportunistic global calamari survey and I remain convinced, until conflicting evidence emerges, that Golden Century on Sussex St has the best fried squid rings on earth.
Dumplings - Chinatown Noodle King (also ridiculously cheap, order the Fried & Spicy Pork & Chive ones), Ramen - Ryo's, Thai - Khao Pla (used to be amazing, not so sure about the quality now), Viet - Hello Auntie, Banh Mi - anywhere in Cabramatta, Izakaya - Yakitori Yurripi
