When Bill and Lulu Chi first immigrated to Little Rock in 1981, they started a modest but successful restaurant called Cuisine of China. With hard work and a lot of community support, Bill and Lulu grew their restaurant business significantly. While they are most known for owning and operating more than 10 unique Asian restaurants, lesser known is that their roots date back to Shangdong, China, where Grandpa Chi started China Fishing Company.

On a daily basis, their boats would go out to catch oysters, the freshest seafood, crab, and especially shrimp. Every weekend, fishermen would bring the freshest of the catch home to share in abundance with their families and friends. Always with an ice cold Tsing Tao in hand, many times and hours were spent in fellowship around the dinner table enjoying fresh boiled seafood, corn, potatoes, and raw oysters.Today, China Fishing Company continues to flourish, carrying forth a seventy-year-old tradition of fishing the Taiwan Strait in the South China Sea.

With Bill and Lulu Chi’s history and knowledge of seafood preparation, they would like to introduce their friends and family to their joyous love of seafood prepared spicy and flavorful. We invite you to experience the fun of our finger licking, head sucking, shell cracking seafood right here in Central Arkansas. We hope you come to enjoy and come often.
