Chef Ly and his wife Nu Luong opened Shanghai Chinese Restaurant in its Point Hudson waterfront location in December of 1986. Chef Ly had worked as a chef in his native Vietnam before coming to the United States. After cooking in other Chinese restaurants in Seattle and the Puget Sound for years, the opportunity to own his own restaurant brought Chef Ly and his family to Port Townsend. When they b
ecame old enough, sons Kien and Jason joined their parents and the restaurant grew as a family business. From a young age, Jason’s strong interest in cooking grew over the years as he learned from his father and dabbled in culinary education while working as a Chef in multiple restaurants. After retiring in October 2016, Chef Ly and Nu left the restaurant under the ownership of their son Jason, his wife Cassidy and their expanding family. We thank our many customers for the restaurant’s success over the past 30 years, and welcome you to continue to enjoy lunch and dinner over the next 30 years! Banquet room available for parties. Please call in advance to book.
