Philly’s Chinatown — with dozens of eateries showcasing an incredible range of Asian cuisines — is one of the city’s most vibrant and dynamic dining destinations.
Seeing as every good celebration starts with great food, it’s only fitting that the neighborhood kicks off Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month with a major celebration of Asian culture and cuisine.
Asian Eats, a brand-new event from May 1 to 11, 2025, is centered in Chinatown and showcases the rich culinary traditions of Philadelphia’s Asian and Asian American community.
Brought to you by Philadelphia’s Asian American Chamber of Commerce, Asian Eats is an 11-day-long restaurant-week-like celebration featuring limited-time-only menus at over a dozen Asian-owned eateries.
The list of participating spots — the majority of which are located in Chinatown — spans fine dining restaurants, bars, tea shops and cafes, including:
