Patsy and Raymond Wong are third-generation
restaurateurs. They took over the Sing
Wong Restaurant in Portsmouth, Virginia ,when Raymond’s parents retired. It was originally
opened in 1965 by Raymond’s grandfather Sing for whom the restaurant owes its
name, Sing first served sandwiches, hamburgers, and hot dogs which he knew
most Americans liked. But as competition was fierce with all the new fast food
restaurants, Sing changed the menu to the traditional Chinese dishes he knew
from his home in the Canton region of China.
