How a Restaurant Family Celebrates Chinese New Year | Bon Appétit
"Founded in Lima in 1975 by Wendy and Ricardo José Leon, the original establishment popularized Chinese-Peruvian (chifa) cuisine with a distinct aesthetic—Chinese vegetable paintings, big round Formica tables, and a custom arched entrance—and a menu of Tongshan specialties, including chickens poached in an inky mother soy sauce and spareribs in a garlic-ginger glaze. Business boomed quickly, with customers calling ahead to reserve without seeing a menu, until the family immigrated to Los Angeles in 1977." - ByElyse Inamine
