Charlie Chan is one of the oldest restaurants in Cambridge. Our passion for authentic, home cooked Chinese food has established the restaurant as a firm favourite with the people of Cambridge and tourists alike.
From 1966 to 1982, this restaurant was named The Pagoda Chinese Restaurant. In 1982, London restaurateur, Peter Lee, took over the Pagoda and the restaurant was renamed after the new head Chef and founding partner, Charlie Chan. Both Charlie and Peter arrived from London where Charlie was Head Chef at Peter's first restaurant, the New Leaf, in Ealing, west London.
