Yes there is a small but well-stocked China town area here in Los Angeles. It's nothing even vaguely like the great Chinatown area in San Francisco especially concerning great restaurants, but it does have some good stores for acquiring movies and art books.

I used to visit the one in LA with my grandparents because they would always buy chicken there. I haven't been there in awhile, I remember some of my best toys came from there too

No not really. There are a few asian supermarkets, but they're on different sides of town.

i live near the capital in Minnesota. There's an area of town that's full of Hmong, Vietnamese, and Thai stores, restaurants, you name it. i wouldn't compare it to NYC China Town or anything. It's really just a few blocks of asian-themed stores and places to eat. it also lacks the usual Chinese buffet (as far as I know, anyways).

There's a small one in Phoenix, its nothing compare to the one in San Francisco near the Union Square though. The food they have there is very close to HK and China in terms of quality. I heard from a bus driver that there is another China town further down south in the SF area that offer even better and cheaper food, too bad we didn't have the time to explore the area a bit more... I definitely miss the Chinese cuisine in SF

Chinatown isn't in Richmond. It's in Vancouver near Gastown. (Of course Richmond could be considered Chiantown all by itself based on how many incredible sushi joints and oriental based stores and media they have there. But the official one is in Vancouver)

Apparently there is a Chinatown of sorts in Yokohama, which is maybe 90 minutes from my place. I ate at a Chinese restaurant there during a teacher's trip. But in the countryside where I live, there's only a Chinese restaurant chain and that's about it.

Richmond is dope for it's Asian malls but in terms of Japanese joints I'll take downtown for the best ones any day. The end of Robson has some of the best bars and asian tapas places ever.

Yep. The gate is bigger than the actual Chinatown!

They bulldozed most of it to put the Verizon Center in (then the MCI Arena) where the Capitals and Wizards play.
