The Asian population excluding college students is less than %5 in Providence and probably declining. At one time there use to be a Chinatown in downtown Providence which consisted of a couple streets.

Enclave areas of Providence such as Smith Hill , West End, even South Side used to house many Southeast Asian refugees from Laos and Cambodia that came late 70's early 80's. Majority have either moved to other neighborhoods/ cities or just moved out of state. You can see some business still in existence along with a Southeast Asian cultural center on Elmwood Ave. There are existing Theravada Buddhist centers still in Providence that cater to the Cambodian community, I know there are maybe 2. Also another one in Cranston, a Laotian catered temple in North Smithfield and Woonsocket.

As far as bars/clubs that Asian people go to well there are none that focus specifically on Asians, most go to whatever bar/club of their choice

FYI this city has never had a person of any Asian descent run for mayor, never had an Asian descent person on city council albeit 1 girl ran last year. There hasn't been much migration since the last wave from the 70's/80's. You might see a lot of Indian people now but not enough where they have an enclave area.

Usually Asians (East/South/Southeast) are left out of most social things due to the numbers.

Surprisingly if you go next door in Massachusetts to Worcester, Boston, Lowell they actually have some large size communities of Chinese, Vietnamese, Cambodian . On top of smaller Asian communities.
