Lung Yee

I was talking to a friend today about Chinese food and searched for "Yee at Man Fook Low." I was saddened to see that he passed and offer my very late condolences to "Yee's" family and loved ones. My family went to Man Fook Low when I was a child, and I went there when I was in college. I also went to his Encino restaurant but probably not since college, and I graduated in 1978. We only knew him as "Yee". I always thought he was a very nice, energetic, and hardworking man, and he certainly...

Growing up in L.A. in the 50s and 60s, I'll always have fond memories of Man Fook Low, the king of that era's Chinese restaurants. Lung Yee was one of the special attractions -- a great waiter but also a character. It was a time when my family was all together, before time began to take its toll . . . .

Reading this brought back memories. When I was small my father and uncle were regulars at Man Fook Lo.
Lung , may you rest in peace...the beginning of another journey .
