About Tempe Chinatown Plaza

    Tempe’s Chinatown is a historic and culturally rich community. Bordered by Arizona State University and City’s Downtown, also conveniently accessible by public transportation, the diversity of Chinatown is demonstrated by the multiple roles it serves as a food court neighborhood, economic hub, social service, cultural center and tourist destination.

    With the help of high technology, the traditional impression of Chinese restaurants in the US market will be changed. Continually integrating novelty, fun, modernity, and uniqueness into Tempe's Chinatown through constantly changing interiors and museum themes.
