I was sort of out that way a few weeks ago driving east from 42nd Prescott all the way to 102nd. From the restaurants, I would not characterize that area as Asian influenced. Popeye's, a pancake chain, a taco house, etc. But Sandy Blvd. west of 82nd -- probably from 82nd down to 60th -- has definite Asian influence in the retail shops.

That said, the hot spot for Asian restaurants is clustered around 82nd and Division. Many Asian people have moved from downtown Chinatown to that area around Division. It's also home to many eastern Europeans. Russians, Ukrainians, etc.
