Chinatown has a great selection of restaurants from all over Asia. You can choose from Cantonese, Sichuan, Malaysian, Taiwanese, Japanese and other regional cuisines.

 

There is a good choice of Cantonese, Sichuan and other regional Chinese food. There are a number of restaurants along Dixon street with touts trying to get you to eat at their restaurant. Try to avoid these as the quality of food is not good. There are plenty of other good places in Chinatown to waste your money at these places. Click on one of these options for a list of that type of cuisine.
