Kevin Wong, Dave's son, took over the business a couple of years ago with business partners after his dad and co-founder retired.
Five decades later, still serving up Chinese Cantonese-style cooking. Kevin Wong said they try to "showcase part of the Asian types of style cooking", gearing more "toward the American style…the chow-mein, the fried rice…ours is more…contemporary food."
Kevin is carrying on his father's legacy. He said it's a challenge, but that his father is a good mentor and very business-savvy, so he tries to emulate his father while also bringing in his own flair, too. Kevin aims to build relationships in Stockton with his customers. And they keep coming back.
Including Ben Rebuldela Sr., his son, Ben Rebudela Jr., and their family, who've been coming to Dave Wong's for years. It's their "family spot" as they celebrate holidays and birthdays at the restaurant.
Rebudela Jr. said his family's been coming to Dave Wong's every year for his birthday as long as he can remember. He said he's had "countless memories" at Dave Wong's and highly recommends the oyster sauce beef.
"It means a lot because you come in, you see all these people all the time, it's never empty," Rebudela Jr. said. "You see all different types of people and the food's amazing. It seems like they're doing good, so it's good to see."
"It's one of my favorite restaurants," Heer said. "In fact, I had a surprise party when they were on Pershing for my wife. And I held it a month before her birthday, so it'd be a true surprise. And they had a very nice ballroom and we totally filled it up. We had just the most fun."
"We had a lot of friends come over from the Bay Area and they were so pleased with the food and the friendship," Heer said. "It was just a wonderful evening."
He came to Dave Wong's on Sunday with a church group and said he got the prawns. But, one of his favorites? The wrapped fish.
"Congratulations to Dave Wong's and I hope many more years for them to be here," Rebudela Sr. said. "And I hope my son can bring his kids here as we brought him and my daughter."
