Pekin Noodle Parlor (built 1909) is the second oldest continuously[1] operating Chinese restaurant in the United States, located in Butte, Montana. The restaurant was founded in its current location in 1911 by Hum Yow and Tam Kwong Yee.[2] Along with the Wah Chong Tai Company mercantile building (1891) and the Mai Wah Noodle Parlor (1909), the Pekin Noodle Parlor represents one of the last surviving properties from the original Chinatown neighborhood in the Butte–Anaconda Historic District.[3]
In 2023, the restaurant was named an American Classic by the James Beard Foundation.[4][5]
