WILSON TANG

Owner of Nom Wah Tea Parlor

A native New Yorker, Wilson left a career in finance to pursue a dream in hospitality. His uncle was planning on retirement and offered Wilson the chance to own the famed Nom Wah Tea Parlor. Serving all-day dim sum, the Chinatown mainstay saw new life in both its dining room and local surroundings.

Since 2011, Wilson has expanded his family's business into four more concepts across New York and Philadelphia, with another outpost in the works.
