"While many of the hauntings in Old Town involve the Portland Underground, the stories tied to this neighborhood Chinese restaurant and lounge involve the brutal murder of a 1940s-era Republic Cafe chef. Inside, the red-and-gold touches, matching murals, and banquet hall-turned-venue give the space a distinct, hard-to-replicate atmosphere, one only aided by old-school Chinese American staples like egg foo young and chop suey." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
