Wow, looks pretty impressive. Maybe some in the area and go check it out! How tall are his parents??? Looks like even his parents are trying to make a buck off the Yao Ming phenom.

Wonder wot'll be on the menu? Yao Ming fried rice? Serving 7 foot sixer and slam dunk cocktails??

That place looks expensive!

That's great. Too bad I don't like Chinese food that much. Where is it located? ::crosses fingers:: Please don't say the south side of Houston.

Hey, one of you guys in Houston should apply for a job there! Yao Ming will probably eat there often.

Hopefully they'll be hiring in the summer and the restaurant isn't too far a way. Right now, school is way more important.

that's a pretty big restaurant! And yah, looks super expensive!! You guys in Houston really should apply, I bet the tips would be really good!

A few days ago I got back from a two-month trip overseas during which I had almost no NBA news at all (I did manage to catch one match, which, as luck would have it, was the incredible 'Comeback match') . Before leaving home, I made it a point to guess what the Rockets record would be by the time I got back, and I was correct (21-19). What I didn't expect however, was the trade of my second-favourite player JJ, and Yao only getting 8-odd rebounds a game. I'm kinda disappointed. Why exactly did we give away JJ? And what's up with Yao?

Edit: I'm asking myself: 'was there really a point to that post?'

Actually, now that I've thought about it, I sure as hell wouldn't want to work there. I worked at McDonald's briefly from March-April last year. During play-offs last year, anytime the Rockets won, Big-Macs would go on sale at the price of how many points the Rockets had at the end of the win. Well, we all know that the Rockets won Game 3 of the series. OMFG, the next was torture!!! People were comming in ordering 10 Big Macs at a time. It's a good thing I worked front counter. The store was busy all-day! I quit like several days after that. To this day, I hate the sight of Big Macs.

Anyway, the point is, my days of working at a restaurant are over.

his Dad is about 6'10, Mom 6'5,both were former Chinese basketball player (His mom used to be in China female national team). Yao's mom always cooks food for Yao everyday then she thought why not just share this with more ppl which made her decided to set this restaurant up.actually his parents have a friend doing business in houston who helped them start this.

as for the menu,i hearded it serves mainly Chinese food,his Mom will be one of the cooks. Yao has a special room there(everything in that room r made very big).

Not that I've ever experienced it, but working at Maccas (we call it that in Australia...same in US?) must be hell! It's like a factory production line, never ending!!

I'm sure working at Yao's, what looks like a fine dining restaurant, would be more slow paced and different. Better pay. Not suggesting that you work there of course. Although, one requirement is most likely the ability to speak Mandarin/Chinese or perhaps Cantonese.... and my guess is you don't speak either.
