I worked there in the 80s. Mr. Wong was most honorable man and all around sweet to his customers.

Art, it breaks my heart to learn that your father has passed. I remember the days partying in the garage and your dad coming out and telling us kids to get the heck out of here. We don´t belong here we had so much fun. I just loved your dad and he never ever and all the time he had his business. Did the portions of the amount of food you got from the rice bowl was always more than anybody could ever eat and we always ended up taking home just about the same amount of food as he gave us on the table, and that never changed throughout all the years that is the only business the prices didn´t go up and the food amount was always more than enough !! Thank you Mr. Wong for the best of food!!

Ning Hoy was always so respectful of my mom when we went to The Rice Bowl for dinner. He'd always bring her a bag of almond cookies. He also spoke well about my father. "Handsome like movie star" he would say. Dates back to the friendship they had when we were in the dairy business.

Deepest thoughts and prayers to the Family..
The Rice bowl was my first experience with Asian food.

Mr Wong was always friendly and welcoming.

What can we say about Ning. He was a one of a kind of man that respected his family and did what he thought was right for them before himself. Knowing him and his family watching the family grow was a pleasure for me. We would have discussions after hours trading thoughts about how our families were growing up. It was treasured times for us both, he will always be with me along with all the rest of the family.
