Pipe problems in the basement have temporarily shuttered Chomp Chomp at 78 E. First St., just east of First Avenue...

No word on when the Thai restaurant will reopen. 

A pipe issue briefly KO'd them earlier this year... glad they left a note this time! 

Meanwhile, Hub Thai remains closed for renovations at 50 Avenue A between Third Street and Fourth Street...

Per a Reddit thread, they are having some issues with their HVAC vent hoods and kitchen systems.
