Trey Yuen in Hammond to Close May 31

Just saw they posted that May 31 will be the last day for the Hammond location, though they will keep the Mandeville location open.
Though I haven't been in a few years, it was the first place I ate in Hammond when I was touring SLU, so pretty sad to hear.

I knew it had been going downhill for years but still surprised to hear this. Guess it will become Hammond's 14th all you can eat Chinese buffet or Mexican restaurant.

This was the first place that I ever ate Chinese food. This was back in the mid 90's and I've heard it's slipped in the past 10 years or so.
No doubt it will became a "fancy" buffet place now serving the same shite as the rest of the places

My wife is from Hammond and she swore it was the best restaurant in town for most of her childhood. The last time I ate there a couple of years ago it was literally laughably bad. This comes as no surprise

Now I want to go have dinner at the Mandeville location. The food there is always on point.

Damn that place was old school as hell. Shame.

I worked at the one in Mandeville for a few months in 1997.
The Wong brothers must be pretty old now.

Prior to Trey Yuen, the Wong brothers started across the street with a place called "China Inn' I believe around 1975 or so. Introduced Chinese food to Tangi parish and it was an instant hit. I worked in the food service industry and got to know Tommy and John Wong pretty well. Their success was legendary. Had a nice run at the renovated Jax brewery and the Mandeville location was a destination place.
However...for the past 15 years the younger Wongs did not have the eye for quality their fathers had and it slowly slipped away in Hammond. Should have closed years ago.
But...that Tong Cho sauce over a nice fried soft crab or fried crawfish was a damn show stopper.

Spent a lot of my company's money in that place back in the day. Sorry to hear it's going away.
