Downtown Chilliwack restaurant set to reopen one year after nearby fire damaged its building
CHILLIWACK – Roughly a year after a devastating fire in downtown Chilliwack damaged several nearby buildings and impacted its operations, a Chilliwack restaurant is set to reopen its doors.
E. Yong Oriental Restaurant, located at 45861 Wellington Avenue, says it will officially reopen next week Wednesday, July 22 following last year’s fire in which it sustained smoke and water damage.
The fire on July 16, 2025, destroyed Beautilandia, a beauty supply store, and rendered the former Chilliwack Community Policing Services building inoperable, requiring its relocation to the Chilliwack RCMP headquarters on Airport Road.
