Wong’s King Seafood Restaurant Opens in Beaverton
June 9th, 2010 by Terry Goldman
On Thursday, June 3, I had the honor of being invited to Wong’s King Seafood Restaurants’ newest location, in Beaverton, for its grand opening celebration and banquet. What a wonderful experience. There was a ribbon-cutting with the owners, elected 
officials, the president of the Beaverton Chamber of Commerce and dozens of select guests. As part of the opening, the Portland Lee Association performed a traditional Lion Dance. You can see some of the video I shot with my phone on my YouTube Channel.
The restaurant was beautifully designed by Suenn Ho with Mulvanny G2 Architecture. Ms. Ho told the attendees that since the space is smaller than many of the Wong family’s restaurant locations, there was not room to put in a fish tank, so she designed fish on the ceiling with fabric. As I looked up I noticed the fabric is hung so it does look like gold fish. There are some beautiful panels of hammered portraits in bronze. The bronze used for the artwork is from the same foundry in China that donated the life-sized, bronze elephant statue in the Park Blocks of downtown Portland.
Live from the seafood tank!
The banquet featured a special menu, but diners were able to look at the standard menu, which is similar to that of Wong’s King’s three other Oregon locations.
All in all, it was a fantastic evening, and a great new dining location has been added to Washington County, thanks to the Wong family.
The restaurant is located at 10743 Southwest Beaverton-Hillsdale Highway.
