Wing Hing’s knowledge and expertise in noodle making goes back to a small village in Toi San, a small village in South China. Robert Yee, who immigrated to the United States as a teenager in 1948, founded the noodle company in 1978 with his wife and in laws, The Wongs. It started out as a “mom and pop” operation with one machine making noodles for Chinese restaurants in Los Angeles.
Jade Wong Lucas, the national accounts director, is the niece of Robert Yee. Her maternal grandfather, Hailey On Wong, was a first generation immigrant and an entrepreneur. “From humble beginnings in a factory in Chinatown he made noodles, fortune cookies, almond cookies, and bean sprouts for the Asian community in the Los Angeles. In the late 1970s, The Yees and Wongs got started with Wing Hing Noodle Company. Robert Yee then grew the company,” says Jade.
In 2003, Jade came on board to help with the family business and says, “The secret is in the process and how it is made. Ingredients are standard when it comes to noodles. How it is made makes the difference. Authenticity is what makes it great. It is more of an art, partial science, how it is mixed, how it is cured. There is a science, a touch and feel, the texture of the product that makes it unique.”
“For me, it is more than a paycheck, a passion for making quality noodles and bringing it to the mainstream,” says Jade.
As you enjoy April Asian Month’s menu, think about adding some extra crunch to each bite as you pass by the salad and soup bar. It might be your next favorite topping.
