About this Neighborhood

Old Chinatown sits at the core of Cleveland's Asiatown, an enclave Chinese railroad workers established in the 1860s that grew into a Chinatown centered on Rockwell Avenue by the 1920s. Waves of settlement from across Asia expanded it eastward, and the area was renamed Asiatown in 2006. The heritage shows in the tables: 30 restaurants, ten coffee shops, and five groceries, with a Foursquare mix rich in Chinese, Asian, and dim sum restaurants. The 4,753 Yelp reviews behind a 4.7 average, plus theaters and performing arts venues, mark this as both a food and culture district.
