Elvis Presley Lives At Asian Restaurant In Las Vegas
Written by Alan Wong
Ever since Kung Fu Thai & Chinese Restaurant supplemented their list with a selection of wines from Elvis Presley Wine Cellars, its growing wine list has been the buzz around the Vegas Valley. One of the reasons is that most Americans never associate wine with Asian cuisine, something that has been changing in recent years, here in America and around the world. “Certain beer and Thai liquors are probably better matches to all dishes, universally,” says Wong, general manager of Kung Fu Thai & Chinese Restaurant. “However the trend now in Asia, especially by the Mainland Chinese and in some urban areas in Thailand, is clearly to make wine as much a part of all Asian culinary experiences as any other beverage.” ...

Written by Alan Wong
When KungFu Restaurant was founded in 1973 on 3rd and Fremont street in downtown Las Vegas, we had enough seats for 25 guests and a takeout counter. Back then Las Vegas was very different. Everyone who came to Vegas visited Downtown, Nixon was in office, Bruce Lee became the first Asian starring in a lead Motion Picture production film “Enter the Dragon”, and people thought Thai was something you wore around your neck.
