“We keep very busy with lots of customers,” Manager of the Red Dragon Bistro Jennifer Liu said.

The Asian culture is alive and well in South Jordan. The city’s quantity of Chinese restaurants makes this apparent. Local residents can enjoy eating at one of the dozen local oriental eateries.

“We keep very busy with lots of customers,” Manager of the Red Dragon Bistro Jennifer Liu said. “We have been open for 11 years.”

Liu’s story is an interesting one. Her husband, Jaiaying Liu, moved to the U.S. 33 years ago. She followed him two years later. They are co-owners of the restaurant. Now, Jaiaying and his two brothers-in-law, Harry and Hui He, are the restaurant’s cooks.

“We are a family restaurant, and we want people to come in and enjoy,” Jennifer said. She still has family in the restaurant business in China.

The Red 88 Asian Bistro is another local Chinese restaurant. They are busiest in the evening and weekends serving their delicious entrees.           

China Wok at 1594 W. South Jordan Parkway is one of the longest standing Chinese restaurants in Utah. They pride themselves on using ingredients of the highest quality for their delicious Chinese food. Their popularity and success has led them to franchise. Their other locations beyond South Jordan are in Highland and Spanish Fork.

The other South Jordan Chinese restaurants are easily searched online. They can be spotted on main roadways as well. The healthy crowd in their dining rooms and parking lots show their popularity and the local appetite for Asian cuisine. We keep very busy with lots of customers λ
