Back in 2017, when our restaurant was going through a difficult time, we started getting creative with our menu.
Fun fact: Did you know our famous Chili Chicken was almost called “The Chicken That Burns the Asshole”? 😂🌶️ My dad had A LOT of fun rethinking his menu and names of his dishes.
Thankfully, we stuck with Chili Chicken. I can’t remember who convinced dad 🤷🏻♀️
Stories like this (and many more) are making their way into my upcoming memoir about saving our family’s restaurant. Unless they get chopped 🔪 follow Jeanette Liu to see how the writing process is going… when I get a break from the resto. And join Yueh Tung Restaurant as we continue to put our story on paper, finally. We spent years sharing this story with great journalists who we deeply respect and admire… but it’s time to tell it straight from our own mouths (and memory).

we open in 10 minutes. didn’t have time to check captions are correct or really make sure this video makes sense. GIST? Toronto, you have eaten our restaurant out of lots of our food 😂 we are running longer hours to prep ahead, we are calling in extra teammates, our retired chefs have even jumped in to help us. So now are pairing our menu down a bit so we can focus on what you’re really coming to us for: chili chicken, Manchurian chicken, chilli shrimp, our Hakka noodles. You’re watching us problem solve and put out fires in real time.
🏃🏻♀️ gotta go! See you soon! I’d show Joanna but she says camera out of her face for now because she’s prepping all the food for you guys today!

Thank you Karon Liu Nick Lachance I photojournalist and Toronto Star ⭐️ for the feature. Link in bio.
We didn’t think we would make it to filming day or the air day either 😳 That’s such a WILD thing to think about.
Yueh Tung was given another lifeline thanks to Battle Ready Baby 🗡 Aarón Sánchez and the entire Restaurant Impossible crew 💛 really grateful to you all and our community that stuck by us.
To another 40 years? LFG. 💥 🥊 we’re ready for our next decade.

Some moments feel like they come full circle.
We’ve admired Mark Wiens Mark Wiens for years, and Clement from instantnoodles is such a bright light in Toronto’s food community and beyond. What we love about both of them is that they make food about more than food — they shine a light on the people, families and stories behind it.
Back in 2013, we messaged Mark before a trip to Thailand asking for food recommendations and was amazed by how thoughtfully he replied to a complete stranger. We ended that message by saying that if he was ever in Toronto, we’d love to host him at our family’s restaurant… never thinking it would ever actually happen.
What felt especially surreal was hearing Mark’s voice in our restaurant — the same voice we’d heard through a screen for 13 years, now talking about Hakka food 🥹😭
To hear them call us the “climax” of their tour meant so much!
We were so honoured to have them both with us. ❤️
What we’ll remember most, though, is their kindness. The way they listen, ask thoughtful questions and shine a light not just on the food, but on people and humanity.
Thank you so much Clement Leung Mark Wiens it was a delight to have you with us! What a dream! Safe travels ✈️ 🌎
