City Wok first appeared in South Park in the early 2000s as the town's Chinese restaurant, run by Tuong Lu Kim. The joke centres on his accent making City Wok sound like a swear word, a gag repeated across many episodes and later in games and clips shared online. Short excerpts of his greeting began circulating on soundboards and in meme videos, where the line works without context. Its lasting popularity comes from instant recognition among fans and its usefulness as a shorthand restaurant punchline.
