About Chan's

Chan's Fine Oriental Dining has become an institution in Rhode Island, offering fine Oriental dining along with some of the finest jazz, blues and other musical offerings in the country.

Chan's introduced Woonsocket to its unique oriental delicacies in 1905.  In 1965, Ben F. Chan purchased the then New Shanghai Restaurant and nine years later the Chan family refurbished the original dining area, changing the name to Chan's Fine Oriental Dining. In 1986, we had the opportunity to double our restaurant size to offer jazz, blues, folk, cabaret, and comedy performances to our customers.  Since then, Chan's has played host to many of the finest local and internal artists and has earned a reputation as one of the premier jazz and blues clubs in the country.
