Tipsy Shanghai eyes former Monsieur Vo space on 2nd Avenue

Photos by Steven

The owners of Tipsy Shanghai are planning on opening a restaurant at 104 Second Ave. at the NE corner of Sixth Street.

Reps are on this month's CB3-SLA committee docket for a beer-wine license, though they have received conditional approval and won't be appearing at Monday's meeting. 
Tipsy Shanghai serves traditional Chinese cuisine and has locations in the West Village and Murray Hill. (Their outpost on East Broadway closed last year.) 

While the chainlet started in 2018, its signage notes "century-old restaurant from China." 

Monsieur Vo closed here earlier in the fall after a September 2022 debut. 

And until a time in 2007, the storefront was Bamboo House!

    Hope their "traditional" Chinese food is as good as the beloved Bamboo House. I've been searching for years for Hot and Sour Soup as good as Bamboo House's recipe.

      Came here to say that! I'm homesick for Bamboo House—and 103 2nd Avenue [the restaurant] across the street.

    I didn't realize they closed their place on Thompson as well until recently, the inside was so cute! I used to manage the building and was treated to some really good soup dumplings.
