Kai’s grandfather returned to America in 1950, settling in Stockton, and opened the Golden Star Café. Kai’s father, though only 2 ½ years old at the time, vividly remembered his family scrambling outside just before the building collapsed. They ran a store until the Great Quake of 1906. Kai Chan holds a picture of his parents, Jimmy Yoke and Bo Lan Chan, who ran the cafe from 1970 until 1990 (MICHAEL FITZGERALD/CONTRIBUTOR)įrom Xinhui the Chans immigrated to San Francisco. Some of the Golden Star’s recipes trace to Kai’s great-grandfather, who in the late 1800s ran a café in Xinhui, China. “Next month, 43 years,” Kai Chan said of all the time he’s put in.
