Sanshi Noodle House looks closed

Another high-profile East Village corner looks to have a vacant storefront. 

Workers emptied out Sanshi Noodle House last week on the NE corner of Second Avenue and Seventh Street (thanks to Steven for the photos)...
There aren't any posted signs about a closure ... or a "closed for renovations." The website is still active, though the phone goes unanswered. Google lists this as "temporarily closed." Unfortunately, it looks more like a "permanently closed." 

The restaurant opened in May 2021 after a lengthy build-out.

This corner space had been vacant since Bar Virage closed in December 2018 after 20-plus years in business. The Bar Virage awning remains on Seventh Street...

I am convinced that space is either haunted or doomed. It seems no one can sustain a business long term there.

I saw them moving out. A marshall was there. I think you can see a notice on the front door if you pass by. Didn't pay thier rent maybe???

How is it haunted if the previous business was there for 20 years?

About 10-14 days ago, I passed by and noticed two policemen stationed outside the door, and a high-ranking (white-shirt) officer inside talking with restaurant workers. The front window had been broken, and I asked what was going on. One officer told me "It's just a civil matter". They've been closed ever since, and now gone.

Very sad. I loved their pork bone soup.

Too bad, it had quite an attractive design

Too big a space for them. There were never enough customers in there to sustain.
