Broth, boxes, sauce, crispy bits. What goes in first?

Picture a family order from a Broadway counter: two cups of wonton soup, boxes of chow mein and dumplings, little cups of chili oil and vinegar, and something fried and crunchy on the side. The game shows them as soup cups, food boxes, sauce cups and chips. Tap the four layers in the order you would load them, then see which order gets the broth home level.

[01]Chinatown facts · checked Nov 2026

A 1938 plaza, a 1976 food mall, a parade of 100,000. Chinatown in three facts.

  • Central Plaza opened in 1938

    New Chinatown's Central Plaza held its grand opening on June 25, 1938, after Old Chinatown, about a mile away, was cleared for Union Station. The first 18 units were running by June 1, 1938. The plaza has an East Gate on Broadway and a West Gate on Gin Ling Way at Hill Street, and it is described as the first modern American Chinatown owned and planned from the ground up by Chinese Americans.

    Central Plaza and the blocks between Broadway and Hill have drawn visitors on foot for close to 90 years, so food carried out of nearby kitchens is seen by a walking crowd.

  • Far East Plaza at 727 N Broadway

    Discover Los Angeles says the Far East Plaza food mall was built in 1976. Its tenants at 727 N Broadway include Howlin' Ray's (Nashville hot chicken, moved in April 2016 after starting as a food truck), Qin West Chinatown (Shaanxi and Guilin noodles, in the plaza since 2012), Kim Chuy (family owned Teochew noodles and porridge, a stop for residents for decades), Thien Huong (pho and banh mi, cash only) and LASA, whose lunch is a takeout window menu of pancit and adobo chicken.

    One small mall holds hot chicken, noodle soup, porridge and a takeout window, so many orders leave in a bag and look alike unless the bag carries a name.

  • Golden Dragon Parade on Hill and Broadway

    The Chinese Chamber of Commerce of Los Angeles ran its 127th Golden Dragon Parade on Saturday, February 21, 2026, from 1 to 4 PM, starting at Hill Street and Temple, turning onto Bernard, then back down Broadway to Temple. It cites over a hundred thousand spectators, with street closures starting at 10 AM. The 128th parade is set for Saturday, February 13, 2027 at 1 PM on the same loop.

    One Saturday each Lunar New Year puts a six figure crowd on the same streets as Chinatown's kitchens, and it is the biggest takeout day of the year for many of them.

Built to be walked, and it still is

Central Plaza opened on June 25, 1938. Old Chinatown had been torn down about a mile away to build Union Station, and the families who moved planned the new one themselves. The East Gate sits on Broadway. The West Gate sits on Gin Ling Way at Hill Street.

Here is why a cook should care. This was laid out for people on foot, and people still come on foot: from the Metro stop on Alameda, from Dodger games, from offices downtown. A paper bag with your name, swinging from a hand under those gates, is a small sign that walks around for free.

One mall, seven kinds of lunch

Far East Plaza went up at 727 N Broadway in 1976. Discover Los Angeles lists hot chicken at Howlin' Ray's, which moved in during April 2016 after life as a food truck. Qin West has served Guilin and Shaanxi noodles there since 2012. Kim Chuy cooks Teochew noodles and porridge for people who have eaten there for decades. LASA runs lunch through a takeout window.

Count how many of those leave in a bag. Nearly all of them. So when six shops in one courtyard all hand out plain brown paper, the customer walking back to the office can't tell anyone where lunch came from. Your logo fixes that for $0 in setup.

The busiest Saturday of the year

The Chinese Chamber of Commerce of Los Angeles ran its 127th Golden Dragon Parade on February 21, 2026. The loop starts at Hill and Temple, turns on Bernard, and comes back down Broadway. The chamber counts over a hundred thousand people watching, and streets close from 10 AM.

The 128th runs on Saturday, February 13, 2027. Order bags in January. Boxes land 3 to 4 days after they ship, and a 150 bag box lets you hand a printed bag to every family that buys buns, egg tarts or a tray of dumplings on the way home from the parade.

What a Chinatown bag should say

Shop name in big letters, in English and in Chinese if your sign has both. One simple picture: a steamer, a bowl, a bun. Red and black look sharp on brown kraft. You get the full 12 × 14 in front, and setup is $0 where most printers want $150+.
