Opened November 27th, 1968.

Owned and operated by Mr. Jimmy Tchou and Mrs. Jimmy Tchou (Lorraine Lee Tchou). Designed by architect Paul Mouton.

Huki Lau was a restaurant in Metairie's "Fat City" area with Chinese food and Polynesian decor, including a 16' high waterfall.

It operated till November 1974, when Lorraine Lee and new partner Roy Walker rebranded the place as the Huki Lau Supper Club, with food prepared and brought in from the Imperial Palace, a Chinese restaurant in Metairie that Lee and Walker (who later married) also owned.

The club and restaurant were destroyed by fire in January 1977, and then-Jefferson Parish Fire Chief James O’Neill told the Times-Picayune that burglary and arson were suspected.
