Local food-lovers have one less Chinese comfort-food spot to visit.

Hon’s Wun-Tun House has quietly closed its downtown Vancouver location (1339 Robson Street). An administrative employee at Hon’s told the Straight that the Robson Street eatery shuttered on April 1.

The casual restaurant is known for its wonton noodles, potstickers, congee, barbecue meats, and various seafood and meat dishes.

Founded by Hon Kwong Ip in 1972, the local restaurant chain was a popular joint among Vancouverites throughout the 80’s and 90’s. The company was eventually sold to new ownership due to financial struggles in the 2000s.

Hon’s Wun-Tun House continues to operate two restaurants in Metro Vancouver: New Westminster and Coquitlam. A newer and more modern branch of the eatery, Hon’s Wonton House, opened in Olympic Village last year.

The Straight has reached out to Hon’s for further comment on the closure of its Robson Street establishment.
