About Chinatown
Chinatown, also known as Downtown Chinatown or West Chinatown, is a Chinese ethnic enclave in Toronto's downtown core, centred at the intersection of Spadina Avenue and Dundas Street West. The area was formerly a Jewish district. The present neighbourhood grew after the government expropriated Toronto's first Chinatown in the late 1950s to make way for a new city hall and public square, and businesses and residents moved west towards Spadina Avenue in the 1950s and 1960s.

The area hosts a diverse set of East Asian cuisines, groceries and shops, and its shops and restaurants reflect several East Asian cultures, including Chinese and Vietnamese.
