Tai Tung the oldest Chinese restaurant in the city. According to an article, the Chan family continues to operate the popular spot which opened in 1935.

“My grandfather immigrated from China in the early 1900s because it was difficult to find work there,” said third-generation owner Harry Chan. “His journey started in San Francisco, and eventually he landed in Seattle.

Next time we're in Seattle, that's where we plan to visit. Until then, we a few spectacular places in Tri-Cities to get our fix on. Our favorite place, China Cafe, in Kennewick moved a few years ago from Clearwater Avenue to 201 North Edison Street, Suite 236. It's now China Cafe Express, which gets awesome reviews!

The new China Cafe Express is honestly amazing. The food is just as good as ever. The service is amazing still, same sweet waitresses as the old location. Food is still well priced. Did not feel like express at all as we sat at a nice table. The restaurant was very clean. - Dawnee K.
