Tai Tung (traditional Chinese: 大同飯店; simplified Chinese: 大同饭店) is the oldest surviving Chinese restaurant in the International District of Seattle. It was opened in 1935 by an immigrant from Hong Kong.[1][2][3][4] The restaurant is the subject of a 2015 documentary, A Taste of Home,[5][6] and was a location for the 2020 film The Paper Tigers.[7] The restaurant's cellar is said to be haunted by kuei (ghosts).[8] It is known for being busy on Christmas Day, when most Seattle restaurants are closed.[9][4]
Tai Tung was included in The Infatuation's 2025 list of the 25 best restaurants in the Chinatown–International District.[10]
