A Chinese restaurant in Minnesota is closing after 40 years in business, with its final days drawing widespread attention after the owner’s daughter shared a TikTok reflecting on its legacy. The video, posted by Morgan Hoong, has racked up more than 1.6 million views as viewers responded to her stories about the restaurant’s impact on customers.
The attention brought a flood of last-minute orders, forcing the family to ask local residents not to overcrowd the restaurant during its final two days. The unexpected rush left the family struggling to keep up with demand, echoing the kind of overwhelming demand seen during a recent TikTok trend that swamped Waffle House employees.
