Our older Chinatown (we have two), from Dundas to College along Spadina and spreading out a few blocks east and west, is a very popular choice for late-night feasting.

It’s walking distance at 195 Dundas Street West and serves noodles, sizzling plates, and a host of meat and veggie delights until 4am from Thursday to Saturday and 1am the rest of the time.
