Workers were seen emptying Joe's Steam Rice Roll at 36 St. Mark's Place on Tuesday (thanks to Steven for the photos) ... it's not entirely clear what's happening here between Second Avenue and Third Avenue at the moment... there's a dumpster parked out front...
... and the interior is bare...
There isn't any message about a temporary or permanent closure on the shop's Instagram account. (Or, better — on the front door.) The website is currently offline and the phone is not in service. No one responded to messages just yet about the status here. (Pandemic-time refresh/renovation?)
This wouldn't be the first time this outpost closed without any notice: Joe's was shuttered for seven weeks in the fall of 2019 without any explanation before finally reopening.
Joe's debuted in the East Village in June 2019 ... another branch of the popular quick-serve establishment, which got its start in Flushing. They had been open in recent months.

That's a shame, the folks that worked there were super friendly, great service, I hope they've all landed on their feet
So good. We started going here when the Canal street market closed. Now that one is open AND this one gone!
