Nearly seven years after it was gutted by fire, an iconic restaurant has reopened in Vancouver’s Chinatown – bringing new life to the historic neighbourhood.
The Daisy Garden Kitchen at 142 East Pender Street started welcoming patrons back on Mach 3 in what its new owner calls a “soft opening.”

Ng, who also owns the Newtown Bakery next door, said her employees will work together and get used to the new equipment during these first few weeks.
In April 2015, the building which housed the former Daisy Garden Restaurant was destroyed by fire.

Longtime customers, including Chinese Restaurant Awards judge Lee Man, are thrilled to see Daisy Garden return.
