Discover International District
Seattle’s International District serves as the center of the city’s diverse Asian-American community, which includes Chinatown, Japantown and Little Saigon. Each area serves up that nationality's cuisine, so you’ll find a variety of Chinese food along the streets of Chinatown, including dumpling houses and small cafes featuring popular dishes like sweet and sour pork. When you venture into Japantown, you’ll discover Japanese delights that include everything from sushi to tempura, but it's Little Saigon that will truly surprise you. Here you can enjoy upscale dining while feasting on pho or banh mi, or you could easily find yourself in a local deli waiting for your spring rolls.
