Woon, a new Chinese restaurant in Pasadena, celebrated its opening with community support but was forced to close shortly after due to devastating local wildfires. Despite this setback, they reopened a sister location in Historic Filipinotown and provided aid to first responders and fire victims. The Fong family expressed gratitude for community backing and highlighted the significant impact of the fires on their new neighborhood. The restaurant aims to strengthen its relationship with the community while navigating the challenges posed by the disaster.
"Our hearts go out to everyone affected by these fires, especially our new neighbors in Pasadena. We are very fortunate to have made it so far, but I took a drive through 6 blocks north of the restaurant, and the damage is devastating and incomprehensible."
"Thank you to everyone who has been a part of this long journey. Opening in the city I was born and raised is truly a full-circle moment. We can't wait to host you all."
