Asian Taste closing in on a reopening

Photo Wednesday and reporting by Stacie Joy 

Asian Taste is getting closer to returning after being sidelined for the past six months on the NW corner of Avenue B and Third Street. 

During an inspection of 199 E. Third St. in late September, Con Ed found multiple leaks and shut off the gas to the entire Steve Croman-owned building, including the businesses.

Management tells me they are just waiting for the proper approvals (unfortunately, there is no timeline on this), and they will be back serving their welcomed and reasonably priced quick-serve Chinese cuisine. 

Meanwhile, visit our round-up of old-school Chinese restaurants in the neighborhood here.

    This is good news indeed, but whatever happened to the Chinese take out spot who were affected by the fire in the building on Ave C between 8th and 9th a year or so ago? Are they gone for good?

      There was also the Chinese restaurant that was destroyed by a fire on Avenue D between Houston and 3rd. Along with the Pizza place and fried chicken joint.
