SitFamilyReunion
25 Years of Family. Six Branches. One Story.
San Francisco · July 10–12, 2026
Our Story
Before World War I, four Sit brothers — Sun Yuen, Hom Yuen, Ngar Yuen, and Lung Yuen — left southern China and settled in St. Louis, Missouri. They founded The Oriental Tea Company at 22 South Eighth Street, opened restaurants like The Orient and The Grand Inn, and planted roots that would grow into six branches spanning the entire country.
Since our first reunion in Memphis in 2001, we've gathered every few years to celebrate the bonds that connect us across generations and geography. In 2026, we come together for the 25th anniversary of that tradition — this time in San Francisco.

San Francisco's Chinatown is one of the oldest in North America — a place where generations of Chinese American families found community, built businesses, and wrote their own chapters of the American story. For the Sit family, returning here feels like coming home.
