Argyle Strip
Argyle Strip Review
Also known as Little Saigon (and Little Chinatown and North Chinatown), this part of town is anchored by the El's Argyle Street stop's red pagoda. Home to many Vietnamese immigrants, the Strip teems with storefront noodle shops, bakeries, and pan-Asian grocery stores. Roasted ducks hang in shop windows and fish peer out from large tanks.
