I grew up hanging out in Chinatown. Great dim sum, boba (bubble tea), Chinese Food and always something fun happening. Kinokuniya is an awesome book and gift shop in the Uwajimaya. Uwajimaya is an awesome Japanese grocery store where you can find great quality seafood, prepared hot foods, and Asian specialties.
