Actually, Houston has TWO and a few years back almost had THREE Chinatowns.

There is the original downtown...Around Chartres street next to the George R. Brown Convention Center.

Then you have the southwest Chinatown...Bellaire starting a bit west of Gessner and continuing on out west. For a good piece of road along Bellaire, the street signs are in both English and Chinese.

It is not a flashy area...mostly grocery stores and restaurants...

so GLW, are you coming? did i forget to mention its free? my sifu jsut wanted more people because he had to rent the auditorium and everything and he wants more people just to make it look good.

ya there is the old chinatown, but no one goes there anymore, and the chinatown on bellaire, which is THE chinatown right now. if you say chinatown most people will think of that place.
