Chan's Chinese Restaurant on Southeast Third Street in Bend, heavily damaged by a fire in the attic last August, reopened yesterday.

Eight months after a fire gutted Chan’s Restaurant along Highway 97 in Bend, owner Lap Chan reopened the restaurant Monday.

Completion of $1.3 million in fire damage repairs and remodeling and the grand reopening coincided with the 25th anniversary of Chan’s purchase of the restaurant, which was known as the China Ranch when he purchased it in 1986.

Hundreds of customers joined in celebrating the 25th anniversary and the reopening, which includes lunch and dinner specials at 1986 prices of $2.25 and $6.95 for the first eight days.

He said the remodel provided between eight and 30 jobs for local construction workers and he increased his restaurant staff from 20 before the fire to 30 for the reopening.
