Chinatown is full of little family shops and restaurants! This area is always full of life, especially when you go to the heart of Chinatown. The food is always affordable and you can always bargain with the local shops (those souvenir stores)! I mean who wants it pay full price when you can try to lower the price?! A tip to consider when buying souvenirs: Always carry small bills so you can tell shopkeepers that you have a budget and can only spend so much. They will always try to meet you in the middle! :) Also, most restaurants only take cash, so make sure you have enough!

This place is simply gorgeous and delicious! If you decide to come here make sure you make a reservation; the wait is long if you don’t make one. But the dishes are simply wonderful and authentic. They have pad Thai, curries, sea bass, etc. A must try if you have time.

Japanese cheesecake has the best fluffy and light cheesecakes! YOU MUST TRY THIS. If you never had Japanese cheesecakes than you are missing out. It’s different from American cheesecakes, which is quite heavy and filled with dairy.

I love their noodles. They have other dishes with rice too, but their noodles is definitely one of the reason I come here a lot! They also have a really nice vegetarian/vegan noodle soup dish. Their broths are super nice and savory and the prices aren’t too pricey! You definitely should come here if you want something to warm you up! They have different locations, but this will be the newest and closest location! :)
