Jook Sing (竹升), or bamboo pole, is a pejorative term in Cantonese referring to fully westernized American-born Chinese.

A bamboo stem is hollow and compartmentalized; water poured in one end does not flow out of the other end. The metaphor is that jook-sings are not part of either culture; water within the bamboo does not flow and connect to either end.

We want to show that having both cultures is something to be proud of – we’re Asian, but also American. We’re serving up modern takes on classic dishes, as well as our own original creations that bring forth the best of both cultures!
