(CNN) — The lanes around Gerrard Street in London's Soho are crammed as tightly with Asian restaurants as fillings in a Chinese dumpling, with the results just as delicious.
This is London's Chinatown, an Asian community hub since the 1950s, and one of the most fun and diverse places to eat in central London -- if you know where to look.
In what's one of the city's most touristy destinations -- the brash delights of Leicester Square and Piccadilly Circus are just yards away -- the range of options can be daunting. There are close to 80 businesses here and the risk of MSG gloop, tired decor and bad service is real.
As the neighborhood celebrates Lunar New Year, CNN Travel hits Chinatown's streets to give you this pan-Asian primer on what to eat, where and why.
