In Pursuit of Genuine Hospitality

In this episode, we converse with the incredible Susanna Wong of Oriental Wok (a Cincinnati staple!) and dive into a story rich with family legacy, entrepreneurial grit, and the power of community. Susanna shares the remarkable journey of her family, starting with her parents' move from Hong Kong to the United States in pursuit of the American Dream, and how they built their beloved restaurant from the ground up, starting in 1977. Discover the unique challenges and unexpected joys of growing up in the restaurant industry, the wisdom of a father who tried to keep his children out of the business, and how Susanna and her sister ultimately found their place in carrying on a tradition built on genuine hospitality and deep gratitude.
