History:
The Hsu's first restaurant 25 years ago was Empress of China #1
in Cobb County which was sold. Other Empress restaurants were opened
and sold. The first Hsu's opened in Tower Place fifteen years ago.
As Anna and Raymond became more active in the Atlanta Convention
and Visitor's Bureau they were encouraged to move to the heart of
the city so they closed Hsu's in Buckhead and reopened at its present
location on Peachtree Center Avenue where it has been for the past
thirteen (13) years.
It was so successful, that eight (8) years ago, Anna and Raymond
opened Pacific Rim Bistro, also on Peachtree Center Avenue. Continuing
in their commitment to the growth and vitality of Atlanta, they
opened Silk Restaurant on Peachtree and 8th Street which recently
celebrated its one (1) year anniversary.
