I eat there frequently. I found out about it while reading about Bruce Lee, and it made me curious. I also read an article about a former councilwoman who was the first Asian woman in the Seattle city council. Bruce worked at her restaurant, which was located near Broadway, not far from Swedish hospital. I have seen Bruce’s grave site at Lakeview Cemetery, which is just blocks from where I live. He’s one of my favorite actors and icons of all-time.

Hold on just a second. How is the guy the third generation owner of a restaurant in the United States and yet he clearly has a Chinese accent? Is he just "doing the accent" for the video?! LOL

@tamatoa8261 6 жыл бұрын

Andy B his grandfather came over first during the gold rush. Then his father and brother came over later. And he came over in his twenties. So that's why he still has an accent.

@AndyBHome 6 жыл бұрын

Tama Toa I did catch that eventually. That's pretty amazing that he's the third generation owner of an American business and that every generation of owners was born in China, although it appears that has come to an end since he was talking about a nephew and grandson getting into the business. Shouldn't he somehow have been required to have a child in China before he was allowed to come take over the restaurant? Kidding, of course. I want to go to that restaurant so bad. I love the fact that he's slept there so he could be sure it would be open during snow storms. I'd love to know when the last time they were closed for a whole day was. I also hope they're open late. I'd guess they are. It looks like an awesome place and the food looks pretty wonderful.

@tamatoa8261 6 жыл бұрын

Andy B I once worked with an older Filipino man and I asked him where he came from in the Philippines because his accent was so strong. He said he wasn't born in the Philippines, he was born on the Big Island of Hawaii and lived in Hawaii his whole life lol. Could have sworn he was from the Philippines lol.
