TEMPE, AZ — A Tempe business is celebrating 50 years of being in operation. Little Szechuan started as the Szechuan Inn in 1976. Five decades later, its food, small business atmosphere, and owners still bring the community together.
Ted and Swanie Lim have been operating the restaurant, which is located near University Drive and Farmer Avenue.
While the restaurant has moved locations over the course of five decades, the community has continuously come out in support.
In February, the restaurant was honored by the city, the state, and an Arizona congressman for its 50 years in service.
In the video player above, hear from owners Ted and Swanie Lim about what they’ve learned operating the Chinese restaurant for half a century and what they’ve seen change as ABC15 honors Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month.
