Chinatown, Portland



         


The Chinatown in Portland comprises the streets between Burnside Avenue and Union Station along the Willamette River. The entrance is marked by a pair of lions at the corner of 4th and Burnside.

When compared to the more well-known Chinatowns of Oakland and San Francisco in California and Vancouver, British Columbia, Portland's Chinatown is smaller and less active. It has more than two dozen Chinese-owned businesses, including restaurants such as a nostalgic 1940s-era chop suey restaurant, gift and import shops, club houses, an herbal medicine store and an Asian food market.

The neighborhood is also home to Portland Classical Chinese Gardens.
