I went to get a yeah baby, at the one on queen and it looks like it's not there anymore....

No more chicken balls for you ... or giant spring rolls)

Mr. Pong is likely still in jail. Turn out the whole thing was mostly a front for a giant fencing operation.

We ordered rice from their car once and it was the most disgusting thing I have ever eaten.

Loved it.

I think they went under when they finally ran out of racoons lurking in the alleyways near by.

MoFo · 07-18-2005, 04:03 PM

My grandmother used to trap raccoons. For soup, I think. In '85 or something.

alexd · 07-18-2005, 04:17 PM

The giant eggroll! It was like an entire meal in an egg roll!

Aerius Zension · 07-18-2005, 04:22 PM

Pong was so plugged into the warehouse scene in the early 90's: he would have a truck outside every party.

ian · 07-18-2005, 04:38 PM

Seriously folks. . . he was busted for trafficking in stolen goods (big time)! It was in the Star a while back.

I always wondered about how he knew where they all were. . . must have had some peeps working for him that liked to go.

r.i.p. grubby panda

I can tell you that Lake Pong, the (former) owner of Mr. Pong's, is not in jail. I ran into him a couple of weeks ago. He's busy running his other business - a garage - in the Junction. Get an oil change and a free eggroll...

Klubmasta Will · 07-18-2005, 05:32 PM

mr. pong *should* go to jail for frying up bean sprouts and calling it "chow mein."

patri©k · 07-18-2005, 05:40 PM

MR. PONGS!!!!

I would probably skip food like that nowadays... but man oh man... did I ever fucking kill that shit back in the day.

Every Tuesday night... leaving the all-ages jams at Pheonix with Tricky, Neil & Cain, etc... I would YAM up a PONG FEAST!

I was considered a Pong-gargon!

gasper · 04-28-2008, 10:09 AM

I miss Mr. Pong's in a weird way.

Someone should replace Mr. Pongs with some kind of mobile Korean BBQ facility. I don't know how it would work (maybe cooking your meat on the engine of the car?) but that would be so sick.
