This Week in Chinatown: A Thriving Community
Chinatown: A Beacon of Growth
While Chinatowns across the nation face challenges, our very own Chinatown continues to flourish. This week, we delve into exciting developments, from new retail spaces to the echoes of a recent Halloween celebration.
Let’s explore what’s happening in our vibrant neighborhood.
As we reported last week, a new Vietnamese restaurant is set to take over the former Lamoon location. Pho Saigonese will bring authentic Vietnamese flavors, including its signature pho, to Chinatown. The restaurant says they are hoping to open in a few months with January or February 2025 grand opening.
This exciting development is another sign of Chinatown’s continued growth and evolution.
Stay tuned for more updates on Pho Saigonese‘s opening date and menu offerings.

A Look Ahead: Chinatown’s Expanding Boundaries
Recently, a group of urban developers from Washington visited Chinatown. In discussions with the County Commissioner and dedicated Chinatown advocate, Justn Jones the future of Chinatown was explored. The vision includes expanding Chinatown’s boundaries westward, encompassing areas along Spring Mountain Road, up to and possibly beyond Tenaya Way. This expansion could incorporate major retail outlets like Sam’s Club, Walmart, and Target, further solidifying Chinatown’s position as a major commercial hub.
The Pedestrian Crossing Project
The long-awaited pedestrian crossing between Chinatown and Shanghai Plaza is on track to begin construction in February 2025. This project will significantly enhance pedestrian safety and connectivity within the neighborhood.
