Comment on House of Roy by L. Nordstrom

My sister used to take me to the House of Roy in the early 60’s. She knew the owner. We always got beef and pea pods, pork fried rice, won ton soup, and something else. The owner taught me to use chop sticks. After dinner a plate was put on the table with the bill and a Yummy treat covered with sesame seeds.
When we asked other folks in Chinese restaurants as far as Framingham if they’d ever been there, we were delighted to hear the House of Roy was their go to restaurant.
Sadly, Boston is no longer what it was. 15 years ago I took my grandson by train to experience where I’d grown up, and found it dirty, filled with unwelcoming stores, and unfriendly people. What a disappointment.

I went House of Roy many times between 1958 and1961. He had two waiters and I used to know there names but time has dimmed the memory.
My fraternity brothers and I would also split the bill but there were several of our members who had to buy there own because of the speed with which they ate huge quantities.
Roy’s was a great place. If you didn’t have cash Roy would write it on a slip and you could pay when you got some cash. Great memories.

Hi Brad,

I hope you are well. I am writing to you because I recently launched my line of curry sauces (available now at 532 Yoga, in Alexandria, VA). I wanted to thank you for mentioning my recipe way back in 2014, and I want to send a sauce to you so that you can enjoy making some Indian curry! It would be great if you can mention me in your blog once again, especially during this holiday season.

Please let me know, and I would be glad to mail a sauce to you. I would need your postal address as well. Thanks!

Rupen

I used to eat at Roy’s in the 50s. One time I attended with another student that worked with Chinese students. They deferred to him and he was the first to receive the plates from the kitchen. He rapidly scooped out all the meat from the plate and then passed it on. When I received the plate, there was no or very little meat.

I suggested that if we were going to split the bill, we should each get a chance to receive the plate first. He agreed, and I received the last plate first. It was the vegetable dish.

I never ate with him again.

I was at the Institute in the early ’60s and hung out at the Sailing Pavilion – we would go to Chinatown most every Sunday night, what ever night that was and House of Roy was a favorite of ours. When we would sit down all utensils except for serving spoons would be removed in favor of chopsticks. Sometimes we would just tell the server the initials of the dishes and we got the right stuff. We liked their lobster sauce but the the things they put in it, so we would just order Lobster Sauce – wonderful on rice (-: Ah the memories.

My memories go back to Tufts medical school days in the mid-60’s…we’d sometimes get takeout and bring it back to the hospital to warm it up in the autoclave that was supposed to be used to sterilize instruments…House of Roy seems real to this day to me, not a memory
