Hi everyone! This is my first post on this forum--I actually came across this thread while doing some online research on Tai Ping restaurant and my Grandfather Stephen Tong. I ofcourse was born decades after Tai Ping had already closed but had always been intrigued by the restaurant and wished I had been there to see it in operation. From the few stories I've heard my family tell, it sounded like a really fun place to dine and experience.

I am floored by the pictures and research some of you have done and the information you have come up with! I am particularly interested in the menu too as someone seems to have a copy of it which I have never seen before!

If any of you were customers at Tai Ping or even worked there before, I'd love to hear about your experiences or any stories you have to tell. My grandfather passed away last year and despite having many amazing years with him and hearing his stories of his many businesses in Los Angeles, there are still so many more I'm sure he did not get to share with me.
