History of The Pagoda
The Pagoda restaurant first opened its doors in 1940. A man named Louis Lee bought the business in 1946. He ran the restaurant for a very long time, until 2008.
In 2008, Sunny Chan took over the restaurant. However, The Pagoda closed later that year. The building where the restaurant was located changed. It became a branch of Key Bank.
Even though the restaurant closed, a part of it was saved. The restaurant's gold and red arch was moved. It was then put up at another restaurant called The Expatriate.
