Multifamily Project Could Be Built Around Panda Inn In Pasadena

Pasadena's 44-year-old Panda Inn is undergoing a reno that is part of a proposal to build 258 apartments on the site.

Panda Inn's management wants to keep the restaurant, which is at 3488 East Foothill Blvd., even though the Pasadena planning department has said it needs to be demolished to make way for the project, the LA Daily News reports. The restaurant could close for a few months while construction takes place.
