- Tai Tung Restaurant claims to be Seattle’s oldest Chinese restaurant in continuous operation. The restaurant opened in 1935 and has five generations of customers. Here are some fun facts about Tai Tung, Bruce Lee’s favorite Seattle restaurant.
Will definitely come eat at that restaurant when visiting Seattle. Bruce Lee favorite restaurant.
Such memories. Went there in the 50s with my parents, in the 60s with my girlfriend, in the 70s with my wife. It was our go to restaurant, even at 2 AM. Then I had to move for a job. I miss it.
Does it look the same inside or has it changed a lot?
I ordered food for Xmas last yr and I got the usual which usually cost me $60 and because I am a regular there he gave me my order for $20. The best Chinese food and we/Seattle have the only Tai Tung in the whole USA. Now that speaks volume.
delicious 😋 food was my fist time today love it!!! amazing 👏
Harry knows me
So cool!
Well, that ended weird 😁
The thumbnail of Bruce eating Dim Sun isn’t at Tao Tung.

Who is the lady on the signed photo at 2:03 ?
@KogepanRunner Thanks. She looks prettier as she gets older.
@@liverpix I met her a few times several years ago. Very pretty and really friendly. Not hard to imagine why Bruce fell for her!

Guess Harry is keeping the tradition and lore going.. says he started working at the restaurant in '68, Bruce died in '75 but had left Seattle by '65. Nobody at the restaurant today will recollect Bruce as a client, except some of the retired staff who linger around. The place is steep with history, might venture in next time.
Same here. I have been living in the Seattle area since 1991 and not once have I eaten in there. I have to make time and go eat there.
@@degustationsdeseattle In that case I'd be curious if your share your opinion and experience of their food here. Don't want to put you in the spot if you are familiar with Cantonese food though. Peace.
@MrHoppers002 That was a typo on his death which was in 1973, but the point is he had left Seattle by '65. 3 years before Harry went to work at the restaurant.
@@henryrhee47 you can go ask him he's there everyday😉
@@henryrhee47 Bruce died in '73, typo. But he left Seattle because he started a new school elsewhere.
props to harry.
but at the same time.
he really needs to plan of succession or something just in case.
he's not getting any younger and well let's say he passes away (at his age its possible) who takes over?
is the restaurant finished?
but i'm sure he's a intelligent man and probably thought of this already.

I just saw a picture of Bruce eating a coconut cake that ain't Chinese that's straight from the Carolinas where coconut cake and as well as red velvet cake was invented Black folk stuff despite what they teach you black people invented a lot of stuff in this country including most delicious culinary yummies money can buy and I always have a coconut cake on my birthday
