The restaurant is probably run by Cantonese, most Chinese in the US are from that region of China, Shandong.

 

I know this is 11 years old, but I just spotted it while looking for something else, so just in case anyone is misled, the Cantonese most  definitely don't come from Shandong! It's geographically similar to saying Texans are  from New York!

I think @Batardmeant Guangdong (although Cantonese speaking people are also found In Hong Kong and southern Guangxi). It was true in the past that most immigrants were Cantonese (no longer) and Cantonese cuisine is seldom spicy, though.

ETA: Never did find what I was looking for!
