Neighbourhood

Chinatown

Faulkner Street, the Imperial Arch, and the densest block of Cantonese kitchens outside London.

Chinatown

Manchester Chinatown is compact, central and easy to spot by the Imperial Arch on Faulkner Street. Restaurants, bakeries and supermarkets fill the surrounding blocks between Portland Street and Princess Street.

Dim sum, late dinners and Lunar New Year celebrations are the main reasons to come. It is also a useful city-centre food stop before theatre, gigs or a night out.
