The Lee family opened up their Chinese Take Out restaurant Lang Lee Chop Suey around 1960. Three generations of Lee's have worked in this very small building. On Sunday evenings, there would be over 30 people crammed in there waiting to pick up their orders. About 2 years before they closed in the late 1990's, a second location was opened in Orland Park and features a full service sit down dining room. Sadly, this sign wasn't relocated to the other restaurant when the original closed. 04-07

Kitty's Chop Suey is in Garden City, MI. Now that all these places are called "Chinese", you forget Chop Suey was once the standard lingo and Asian favorite. The name Kitty's is certainly not Asian sounding either, a definite throw back to when restaurant postcards would always say "Your host ...." 02-08
