The Asian Dating App for Sydney
Last updated
Sydney has one of Australia's largest and most diverse Asian populations, spread from Haymarket's Chinatown to suburbs like Chatswood, Hurstville, Cabramatta, and Harris Park. Krush helps you meet Asian singles right across Sydney.
The local dating scene
Sydney's Asian dating scene is mostly suburban, and which suburb matters. Haymarket's Chinatown and Dixon Street sit in the city, close to the main campuses, but most communities live further out: Chinese and Hong Kong families in Chatswood, Hurstville, Burwood, and Rhodes; Korean restaurants and karaoke in Strathfield and Eastwood; the Vietnamese community around Cabramatta's Freedom Plaza; and Harris Park near Parramatta, Sydney's Little India. The city is wide and the trains take time, so a match from the North Shore to the south-west is a real trip — most people date within a few train stops before widening their search.
The local community
Sydney is home to large Chinese, Indian, Vietnamese, Korean, Filipino, and Nepalese communities, anchored by long-established suburban hubs and one of the biggest international student populations in the world. Many Sydneysiders grew up here in Asian Australian families, while others arrived recently for study or skilled work — which makes cultural background and languages worth showing on a profile.

Students & campus communities

The University of Sydney, UNSW, and UTS draw huge cohorts from China, India, Korea, Vietnam, and Nepal, and UTS sits right beside Haymarket's Chinatown. Macquarie University is a short trip from Eastwood and Chatswood, and Western Sydney University's Parramatta campus is close to Harris Park. Cultural student societies run Lunar New Year, Diwali, and Korean culture nights through the year. Whether you're an international student or grew up in Sydney, Krush helps you meet people beyond your own course.

Frequently asked questions
Where do people meet Asian singles in Sydney?
Most people meet Asian singles in Sydney through suburban community hubs rather than one central scene: Chatswood and Hurstville for Chinese communities, Strathfield and Eastwood for Korean, Cabramatta for Vietnamese, and Harris Park for Indian. Haymarket's Chinatown, campus societies at the big universities, and festivals like the Sydney Lunar Festival are the other usual starting points.
Is Krush free in Sydney?
Yes. Krush is free to download across Sydney, and the core experience costs nothing: making a profile, browsing recommendations, liking people, matching, and chatting with matches. When you want more, Hearts are one-time purchases for single actions like a Spark, and Krush Plus, the paid subscription, makes Sparks and chats with matches unlimited. Prices show in the App Store and Google Play.
Will Krush show me matches near me in Sydney?
Yes. Krush lets you set your preferences toward people nearby, which matters in a city as spread out as Sydney — a match from Chatswood to Cabramatta is well over an hour by train. Many people start with their own part of the city, then widen their preferences once they are happy to travel for the right person.
Is Sydney a good city to meet Asian singles?
Yes. Sydney has one of Australia's largest and most diverse Asian populations, with big Chinese, Indian, Vietnamese, Korean, Filipino, and Nepalese communities. Established hubs like Chatswood, Hurstville, Strathfield, Cabramatta, and Harris Park each have their own character, so the city suits people open to exploring more than one community.
Where do Asian students in Sydney meet people?
Asian students in Sydney mostly meet people through university cultural societies and the suburbs near each campus. UTS sits beside Haymarket's Chinatown, Macquarie is close to Eastwood and Chatswood, and Western Sydney University's Parramatta campus is near Harris Park. Lunar New Year and Diwali events are highlights of the student calendar.
When are the big Asian cultural events in Sydney?
Sydney's biggest Asian cultural events are the Sydney Lunar Festival in January or February, Lunar New Year street events in Hurstville, Chatswood, and Eastwood, the Cabramatta Moon Festival in September, and Diwali celebrations around Parramatta and Harris Park in October or November. Each makes an easy, low-pressure plan for an early date.
