Asian-American Philadelphia
The cultures of the Far East up close
 
Ever since Philadelphia’s first Chinese hand-laundry was established in Chinatown in 1870, the local Asian-American communities have enriched and expanded the city’s landscape. Today, the vibrant cultures and traditions of Asia continue to thrive amidst Philadelphia’s diversity, meaning more opportunities for you to explore than ever before.

You can taste authentic Vietnamese pho in South Philly; visit a 17th-century-style Japanese tea house and garden in Fairmount Park; hear the classical Indian stylings of a world-renowned tabla maestro at the Painted Bride Art Center; join in the fun at the Chinese New Year Festival; get crazy with friends at a Chinatown karaoke bar; browse all things Korean at the Oriental Mall in Elkins Park; and much more!

Browse below to learn how Philly’s Asian-American communities have impacted the sights, sounds, flavors, politics, history and culture — ultimately, the heart and soul — of Philadelphia. Find out the inside scoop, including when and where to explore the best Asian-American attractions the city has to offer!
