Shang Chai on Flatbush Avenue is CLOSING as of 01/01/2013!
WHAT!?
HaShem Yerachem
They made the best Chinese food!
Were they really kosher?
Of course. Vaad of Flatbush is perfectly kosher, despite attacks from others on the right.
BDE
Actually, the Vaad of Flatbush is much better than it used to be, probably because of “attacks from the right”.
Oh stink. I thought this would be a thread bemoaning the fact that all my maggedei shiurim call the place in japan shangchai because the mir was there. It drives me nuts. its shanghai.
BDE
🙂
I guess now we should call it “Shang Meis”.
It drives me nuts.
Ah, so that was the cause. 🙂
Chaval al haoivdin…it goes back at least two decades IIRC.
DY- touche
Bear: It goes back closer to 4 decades, and it had great food and great service. Well, that’s sad. Shang Chai was Brooklyn’s answer to Shmulke Bernstein’s for a long time.
” all my maggedei shiurim call the place in japan shangchai”
The place in Ja-what?
Anyone remember Glatt Chow?

The place in Ja-what?”
Shangchai was in Japan (china was under Japanese rules at that time.) Still doesnt explain why they call it ShanChai, nobody says Chavana.
Toi,
Shanghai is actually in China, but who’s looking at a map anyway.
Morahmom: Not even in the same ballpark as Berstein’s.
Toi – gam ani.
I liked the place very much, though I have not been there in a long time.
Yussel: Shang Chai was definitely classier.
working- go check one from ww2.
Oomis- ive never been there, nor have i ever heard of it. but any restaurant that has good food and closes is a tzorah d’rabbim.
Toi,
Would you also call Warsaw “that place in Germany”?
morahmom:
Bernstein’s had a “class” all it’s own. and the food was beyond compare.
sqeak- i dont know. but i know that my rabbeim called it in japan. which was part of the neis- they didnt get killed while being in axis territory.
thats because the modern Jews have all moved to five towns and teaneck
Toni,
As I said earlier, Shanghai was under Japanese rule at the time. Although Japan was part of the axis they weren’t an anti semetic country, which is why they allowed the Jews in.
