In the 1980s, the Hong Kong Flower Lounge Corporation sent Sifu Wong to the San Francisco Bay Area to open up five top-rated Cantonese restaurants.  Since then, Sifu Wong started his own business by establishing a new restaurant, which had soon become popular in the Bay Area.

In order to accommodate the popular demand for high-quality Chinese food/cuisine in the South Bay area, Sifu Wong is partnering with a technical support team to create a novelty restaurant that combines Chinese cuisine and hotel management, which brings into the Bay Area gourmets with an ultimate dining experience with exceptional flavor and elevated ambiance.
