Philly’s Chinatown — with dozens of eateries showcasing an incredible range of Asian cuisines — is one of the city’s most vibrant and dynamic dining destinations.
Seeing as every good celebration centers around great food, it’s only fitting that the neighborhood (along with several new participants across the city) caps off Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month with Asian Eats Restaurant Week, a major celebration of Asian culture and cuisine.
Asian Eats Restaurant Week — returning for its second year from May 24 to 31, 2026 — showcases the rich culinary traditions of Philadelphia’s Asian and Asian American community.
Brought to you by Philadelphia’s Asian American Chamber of Commerce, Asian Eats Restaurant Week is an 8-day-long celebration featuring limited-time-only menus at nearly 30 (!) Asian-owned eateries.
The list of participating spots — spread out across the city, with the majority located in Chinatown — spans fine dining restaurants, bars, tea shops and cafes, including:
