Chinatown Toronto

- Spadina Avenue, Dundas Street West, Spadina Crescent


Chinatown is very authentic and one of the largest in North America. It was well established already in 1935. Here you find Chinese stores and restaurants, all with typical chinese signs. It is situated around Spadina Avenue and Dundas St West, just northwest of downtown. Formerly it was situated near the City Hall, but it had to move westward because of the construction of the new city hall. Chinese restaurants, bakeries , cheap souvenir shops, grocery stores, markets and malls with colourful chinese signs can be found here. Many visitors compare it to Hong Kong. Old Chinatown as this one is called, is the largest of approximately six chinatowns in Greater Toronto! At Spadina Crescent, a circular traffic circle just at the North borders to Chinatown, there is a significant heritage building, currently under reconstruction. It is a yellow brick gothic revival building, that will host University of Toronto's faculty of architecture, design and lanscape. Royal Museum of Ontario is also bordering Old Chinatown.
