前身係1946年由國民黨廣州機關要員刁景鄂投資，由興寧人經營嘅寧昌飯店，最初個名係雲來閣，開喺城隍廟前（今忠佑大街）。飯店主打客家風味嘅家庭菜式，好似東江鹽焗雞、東江釀豆腐呢啲，以主料突出，風味濃鬱，獨具特色而小有名氣。
The predecessor was invested by Diao Jing'e, an important member of the Guangzhou organ of the Kuomintang, and operated by Xingning people in 1946. The restaurant focuses on Hakka-style family dishes, such as Dongjiang salt-baked chicken and Dongjiang stuffed tofu, which are prominent in the main ingredient, rich in flavor, unique and famous.
