What a fricken cool story. We will sure miss the food and family there. Such a huge loss for Bloomington!!
Big deal! Just another rip off msg filled food corner Chinese restaurant..
American Chinese food is disgusting
first of all, theres nothing wrong with msg. your fears over it are the result of racist propaganda
second, fongs was a huge staple of dining in bloomington for decades. and it was goddamn delicious
@@domki366 🤣🤣🤣🤣 msg makes you full fast, then your hungry again in like 2hours. So your ok with getting ripped off just because their Asian? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@domki366 and I'm not racist you looney clown!
@@sparkplug2646 so the food makes me full? the thing food is supposed to do? and if theres some left over then great i can have more when im hungry later.
you're making assumptions of food additives based off their race. fuck outta here
TBH, I drove by hundreds of times. I don't think I ever ate there. But if they made it over 60 years they had to be doing something right.
They was serving you wypipl roadkills with orange sauce
I used to drink there on Friday nights in The Working Man's bar.
Farewell old friends🙋🎉❤️🎈🥺
What went Fong?
Ha Ha Ha Dats a Goot One!
🤣🤣
You so Vewey funny my fwend
They have had the best Chinese food in the Twin Cities. Not only that they are a great family as well!
Sad.
Now we can watch the other restaurants fight it out over the new food vacuum created by the closing.
Good, he got out with his life.
Respect‼

I used to play on a men's fastpitch team back in 91-93. We used to play a team sponsored by Fong's. They actually wanted me to come play for them after my team quit playing, I regret not playing for them, or fastpitch ever again.
💂🏻♂️you earned it man.your a piece of the community
There goes an era from the forgotten Chinatown. I hear he was a prominent businessman and leading member of the Minneapolis chapter of the "On Leong" Tong and his family along with over a hundred people were robbed back in 1980 during Chinese New Years by members of the "Ghost Shadows" street gang (probably outta towners sent by the rival "Hip Sing" Tong). Events that led to murder and culminated in the 1990 FBI crackdowns across the nation against Chinese-American organized crime. Fascinating, rich and forgotten "江湖" stories fill my imagination when I scarf down that Kung Pow Chicken!
