Which Garden City Restaurant Did Leno Visit?

Author Ryan Logan

It’s not everyday in Michigan where you can sit down for some Chinese food and see Jay Leno walk in. 

While the New Peking Restaurant in Garden City was in the middle of a dinner rush, Jay Leno walked in and needed a table for 4.

The owner Shen Yu said, the longtime “Tonight Show” host arrived at the crowded restaurant with four other people around 7:30 p.m.

Shen Yu also said, “I was so surprised,” he said. “He’s a really nice guy. I thought he would be a big shot and it would be hard to ask him for anything, but no, he was so friendly.”

Some of the food Leno ordered included the house-specialty Dry Garlic Sauce-Shrimp and Bong Bong Chicken. Leno told Yu that it was some of the best shrimp he has ever had!

After his meal Leno stuck around to take some pictures with Yu and his wife, when Shen asked Leno why he was in town, he simply replied he was running an errand.

Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf! Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio. Ryan writes about golf, family and what happens on “Big Jim’s House.”
