Our Story of Family and Tradition

Tong Fong Low is a family-owned Chinese restaurant in Oroville, CA, and we've been sharing the flavors of authentic Szechuan and Cantonese cuisine with our community since 1912. For more than a century, we've been dedicated to the art of gathering, offering a welcoming space where generations of families come together to enjoy generous portions of their favorite dishes.

Our kitchen still honors the family traditions that started it all, serving everything from classic Egg Foo Young to our signature Iron Plate specialties. Whether you're joining us for a celebration in our dining room or looking for Chinese food catering for your next event, we invite you to be part of our ongoing story. Explore our menu to find the familiar favorites that have made us a local landmark.

Rooted in the Community


Tong Fong Low has grown alongside the families we serve in the heart of Northern California. Our story includes a celebrated chapter in Chico from 2009 to 2020, where the Chico News & Review named us Best Asian Restaurant, but our home has always been Oroville. We're proud to be one of the oldest family-operated restaurants in the region, and we remain committed to fresh ingredients and the kind of hospitality that makes every guest feel like part of the family.
