Ting said younger generations of the family are reluctant to keep the business going. "The young kids, they don’t want to take over," he said. Customers have flocked to Seven Treasures since hearing of the closure, hoping to have a final bite of wontons or the 554. Ting said the line of customers snaked out the door Monday night.The 554 consists of two fried eggs, barbecue pork, rice and soy sauce. It was originally offered for $5. It is so well known that it has an entry on Urban Dictionary, an online dictionary for slang words and phrases.
"We love to go here, especially in the night when me and my husband are out, we are like, ‘Let’s go to Chinatown, let’s go to Seven Treasures,’" Claire said. "It’s good food and good people."Mimi Mark, who stopped by the restaurant one last time after she heard it was closing, said she was shocked it wouldn’t be there anymore. She remembered eating there with her family when she was a kid.
