Concern for China Wok on Avenue B



The reliable, quick-serve restaurant at the corner of East Third Street was closed for the second weekend in a row. Signs arrived outside the other day explaining that the closure has to do with "mandatory repairs."



This is often the telltale sign of a DOH closure … though there's nothing on file with the DOH to indicate that this had to do with a health code violation.

Said one neighbor, an EVG reader: "I haven't actually seen anyone go in or out of there since they've been closed. I've known them for 18 years, so I hope it's not another closing."

The Croman-owned 9300 Realty is the property's landlord. Three of the five adjacent Croman storefronts have closed in recent months — Cafe Rakka, Coyi Cafe and the laundromat.

Updated 6:39 a.m.



A reader points out that the sign with the same explanation … and with the same handwriting … is on the gate at Meskel, the Ethiopian restaurant on East Third Street that shares the same building as China Wok.

Meskel - the food is so good and the family is so nice.

Look closely at the 2 signs.

It looks like a printout of "blank space [Your name here] is closed for mandatory etc etc etc."

Maybe via a mgmt company with a lot of signs like these to make?

I will the miss the many years of walking through the Chinese food air blast assault! Those walking East on 3rd past the restaurant know what I mean.
