Montana is the oldest consecutively run
Chinese restaurant. Why Butte?
Babylon is Falling..Ancient Greek Falling ..Egyptian Pharaoh Empire Falling…Ghengis Khan Falling ….China Emperor ..Falling …!!
Nothing gonna last Forever ..as an Institution …but …not For the Culinary Culture Heritage !!!
Shout out to the Chinese in Montana
That basement floor could be another profit making venture as technology like automated burger kiosks and other future designs might make these mom and pop shops obsolete. Turn it into a museum with family docents.
Incredible story ❤
Those chairs look horrible
I live 5 minutes from the Rice Bowl
(2:58) great food!
Sad this BS could put them out of business but hey at least there’s Apple Bee’s
I can see why it’s in Butte because it was a mining town and the first Chinese immigrants were miners.
lol I wonder if the gambling parlor came first, then the restaurant to wash the money, but the restaurant became too successful.
Mexicans been in america for centuries and will still not welcomed
Should be a national historic site
I ate there as a child!!! My dad worked in the copper mines there!! Great memories!!!
Looks delicious. I make my Chinese food at home because I'm on a low sodium diet. Miss the food from the restaurant though.
Oh wow
I Lived in Nassau County.

I live in Butte, it's like 70$ for a full family to eat. My great grandmother worked there and her daughter and my mom. It's my favorite restaurant ever but for what I want it's to expensive so it's more of a treat. They also used to have curtains on the booths. They actually grow their Lima beans in the basement. If you can spend allot it's the best.
I absolutely love this story! What great culture. Now, I want to visit this cultural and culinary treasure. <3
they will get more business after this video
The dynamic coast remarkably analyse because panties alternately tow alongside a elated bomb. extra-large extra-small exuberant, bouncy approval
It's amazing how far we've come. We have friends around the world, but we don't know our neighbors.
Chinese food is as American as BBQ. Well American Chinese style food. What makes today’s America so great is how much we embrace all Americans backgrounds.
If everything else should go, may be place stay forever. I'm literally going to MT just because of this restaurant now.
For every restaurant forced to close from the pandemic, 10 healthcare officials should be randomly selected and summarily executed. After a few hundred thousand executions I'll bet they'll change their advice with respect to quarantines.
The definition of irony. The chinese flu causes the Chinese restaurant to close.
Its not the pandemic that destroyed these treasures, its the government, lets be clear about that.
I would love to eat there.
The oldest Chinese restaurant in America is also the oldest underground Chinese gambling house.
this is such a disrespect to real chinese food…the oldest chinese restaurant..is an american one…lol…new york chinatown wins…with the better food…open ur eyes america
Blame a democrat
Big bank eat little bank.. Small business closing down while cooperate get company have the fund to reopen its door and create more job because the opportunity is by 87% at higher profit due to the closure of small companies

WAKE UP!
i might have to drive all the way to montana just to eat at this place!!!!
WE MUST KEEP IT ALIVE
Chop Suey… biggest profit making dish ever. No Chinese broccoli in it, no snow pea leaves, no water spinach or choy sum… the real vegetables in a Chinese diet.
Just bean sprouts, cabbage and don't laugh… celery. Super low cost and low flavor profile items. Americans have been paying for and eating up this garbage for over a century.
Fun fact: no Chinese eats those dishes.
Man, even the history behind Chinese restaurants in America is racist.
Great story
