2. Canton Dynasty also closed

It's getting hard to find chinese food in Medford. I have many fond memories of Kim's. When I was learning to drive my driving instructor always stopped at Kim's for coffee and to hit on the waitresses.

4. Kim's was great

used to go there regular while living in the Rogue Valley. Gue4ss that leaves Colony Far East if I visit. Sorry also to hear that Canton Dynasty closed, Tommy Lee used to be my neighbor in Medford. (not that Tommy Lee).

6. Is that the one that had the

catsup squeeze bottles on the tables? There wasn't catsup in it but some kind of (I think) shrimp sauce? It was west of I-5. Is that it?

8. it had a homemade sauce for their food that people loved so much

they took it to chemists to have analyzed. Put your two fists together and that is how big their egg rolls were.

As soon as I can find the pictures, I will post them. Until then, I am sitting shiva.

9. If we're talking about the same place,

DH & I were driving back from SoCal. We stopped in Medford & got a room & went out for dinner. DH wanted Chinese bad. So we're driving around & pass several Chinese places without many cars. This was on a Monday or Tuesday, so no cars isn't suprising. Anyhoo, we drive by this one place & it's absolutely packed. I said that either there was a party going on or the people of Medford knew something. We went in & it was great Chinese food. A little Americanized, but still really good.

A year of two later we were again driving back from SoCal (annual trek) & stopped in & it wasn't that good. I dunno. Maybe they were having a bad day, but years later I was talking to someone (long story) & mentioned that & he said he had heard the owners had sold to their kids & the kids weren't as fanatical as the parents had been.

edited to add that I'm sorry for your loss! I know how lousy it is when a favorite store, restaurant, etc. closes.
