A Chinese buffet tradition nearly a century in the making is coming back to Kingston.
Eng’s was Kingston’s first Chinese restaurant, established in 1927 by Jimmi Eng and his son Paul. Since 1966, the restaurant has occupied its current address at 726 Broadway, celebrated for its iconic vintage neon “chop suey” sign that is frequently photographed. Before the Covid pandemic, dining in its red-carpeted, dark wood-paneled, retro setting was a cherished experience among locals. Alas, the dining room doors have been shut since the pandemic shutdown, and the restaurant has remained delivery and takeout only.
That is all set to change as of Feb. 5, 2025, according to posts on Ulster Chamber Eateries United, which promise the return of indoor dining to Eng’s, including their full menu and popular Chinese buffet.
Hundreds of Eng’s fans left comments on the Facebook posts expressing their excitement.
