Chinatown in Northbridge, an inner city suburb of Perth, Western Australia is bounded by Roe Street, Nicks Lane, the businesses facing James Street, and the Roe Street car park.^[1] Located within Chinatown are 13 restaurants and businesses.^[2] However, many more Asian businesses are found further north around William Street near Brisbane Street, an area known informally for this reason as the real Chinatown,^[3] and indeed throughout both the Perth metropolitan region and the rest of Western Australia.

The City of Vincent, whose boundary with the City of Perth runs along Newcastle Street approximately 425 metres (1,394 ft) north of Chinatown, has installed Asiatic themed street lights and street furniture to reflect the proliferation of Asian businesses – such as at the corner of William Street and Forbes Road within their part of the suburb of Perth. Businesses include restaurants, hair salons, grocery stores, travel agencies, Daiguo shipping companies, and medicine shops. The Vietnamese Buddhist Association and Temple is also located just off William Street on Money Street.
