Two Chinatowns exist in the Charlotte metropolitan area, one on Central Avenue (near Briar Creek Rd.) and the other on the corner of North Tryon Street and Sugar Creek Road, developed from the defunct Tryon Mall in 1999, as mentioned in an article from the Charlotte Observer. Dim sum on push carts is a feature of restaurants in both Chinatowns as a former partner in the old location moved to the new location.
