About the host

Hosted by Ken

Host profile image
Hello, my name is Ken, and I’d love to share my journey with you. I was born and raised in China and moved to Chicago in 1997. With a deep passion for food, I worked in multiple restaurants, learning the art of cooking, but faced a major challenge—I couldn’t speak English. Since I lived and worked within the Chinese community, my opportunities for language learning were limited.

Determined to grow, I made the bold decision to step outside my comfort zone. I moved to Dubuque in 2000 and took a job at Hy-Vee, where I started as a cook and, within two years, became the Chinese department manager. This experience not only refined my culinary skills but also helped me improve my English and gain confidence in a new environment.

In 2003, I took another leap—I started investing in real estate. It was a risk, but I believed in the power of hard work and persistence. By 2008, after five years of learning and building, I made the life-changing decision to leave my job and become a full-time real estate investor.

Over the years, I expanded my knowledge in real estate, but my love for cooking never faded. In 2018, I merged my entrepreneurial drive with my culinary passion and opened Oolong Asian Cuisine—a restaurant that celebrates my heritage through delicious, authentic flavors.

Today, Oolong Asian Cuisine thrives as a reflection of my journey—one built on perseverance, risk-taking, and the belief that change leads to growth. If there’s one lesson I’ve learned, it’s this: If you want to change your life, make your move. I hope my story inspires you to take your own steps toward your dreams.

Why they chose this property

The Historic Millwork District is one of Dubuque’s most vibrant neighborhoods, known for its unique blend of historic charm and modern amenities. Once the industrial heart of the city, this revitalized area now houses beautifully restored warehouses converted into trendy lofts, art studios, local boutiques, and innovative eateries. The district showcases Dubuque’s creative spirit with colorful murals, inviting streetscapes, and a welcoming community vibe.

Staying here puts you just steps away from the best of Dubuque. On Saturday mornings from May through the last Saturday in October, the streets come alive with Iowa’s oldest Farmers Market, offering fresh produce, artisan goods, and local treats. The neighborhood also boasts cozy cafes, craft breweries, and fine dining options, ensuring something for every taste. Its central location makes it easy to reach downtown shops, offices, and the Mississippi Riverfront, making it ideal for both business and leisure travelers.
