The Pagoda was a Chinese restaurant in Portland, Oregon's Hollywood District, in the United States.
Description
[edit]The Pagoda was a Chinese restaurant in northeast Portland's Hollywood neighborhood. The business was housed in an "ornate, orange-tiled" building, with an exterior described as "unique" by Nathalie Weinstein of the Daily Journal of Commerce.[1] The interior had koi pond with a small bridge for guests to cross.[2]
History
[edit]The restaurant opened in 1940. Louis Lee purchased the business in 1946. Lee operated the restaurant until 2008, when Sunny Chan took over.[1] The Pagoda closed in late 2008, and the building was converted into a Key Bank branch.[2][3] The restaurant's gold-and-red arch was salvaged and installed at the Expatriate.[4][5]
