Our History
“I came to America because my cousin said there were opportunities unlike any known in Taiwan or Korea. My dream was to own a restaurant, but after I came to Chicago and saw (chains) with thousands of restaurants under the same name, I believed there were possibilities to make Chinese dining available on a big scale."
