When you step inside Chinatown, you’re immediately immersed in art, culture, and authentic culinary cuisines. Residents and visitors are greeted by two dueling golden dragons at the neighborhood’s main entryway. The streets, retailers, traditional- and non-traditional restaurants are adorned with vibrant red and gold tapestries, symbols of love and prosperity, as well as words of welcome in Mandarin.

The Central Plaza is a major tourist area with restaurants, gift shops, markets, and art galleries occupying buildings of Chinese architecture, complete with unique sculptures atop pagoda rooftops, hanging lanterns strung across bustling pathways, a dragon mural, and the famous Seven Star Cavern Wishing Well.

This vibrant urban neighborhood has tons of charm – plus great local dining. From dim sum establishments to pho and ramen to bakeries and street cart foods – you’ll find it all here.
