Edmonton’s ninth annual Chinatown Dining Week returns with what’s being called “its biggest year yet.”

The event showcases various restaurants associated with Chinatown, offering discounted meals.

Chinatown Dining Week started in 2018 in hopes of encouraging tourism and business growth in the area.

Thirty-two neighbouring restaurants are participating this year, offering $10 to $20 plates of entrees, side dishes and desserts.

This is a volunteer-run 11-day event supported by the City of Edmonton’s Chinatown Vibrancy Grant, which focuses on revitalizing Chinatown and supporting its community projects.

Chinatown Dining Week begins Thursday and runs until Feb. 8.

More information on the participating restaurants can be found on their website.
