Goodbye Chop Chop Grub Shop on Nostrand, near St. Marks and Dean

Does anyone know if their business is suffering? Seems like people on yelp are out for blood.

The Yelp contributors may not be actual customers, but merely people who feel this an offense that warrants revenge.

The actual present and past customers of this place may continue to patronize it, despite this controversy.

At this point, I think Grub Shop has done everything it can do to repair the damage, and now must merely hope it has done enough.

...I suspect everyone has made up their mind, and isn't going to change it.

Yelp is very good at removing non-reviews. So don't expect the dip on their ratings to last too long. Will Chop Shop make it? Who knows?

I eat there and Chop
Shop has great food.
The landmarking reg
doesnot  let them have
a signage facing traffic
overhead so they are
trying to attract with
this allowable sign.

Thank you for
your input.

Oh come on!  Have you never said anything stupid your entire life?  They did and they apologized, and their entire multicultural staff wants to get back to business providing flavorful food to the community.  Have a little christian charity and find it in your heart to forgive.

You're right. You're right. I've said and done many stupid things. Maybe we can go by together to grab a snack this week....but can I at least walk in looking like this?

Not if the place is run by Smurfs.  

P.S. The cat can't come in either  

you can walk in anyway you like. lets make it next week. I am trying to accomplish the impossible until sunday. 

chop chop is slated to close. Today is their last day. last chance to enjoy their wonderful food. Had French toast and and got a pork rib sandwich to go. I am very unhappy about this.

They opened in January 2014, so they existed for almost exactly a year.

I always wanted to try them but I thought they were kinda way overpriced for a takeout and delivery place.

Damn, this sucks, my girlfriend and I love this place. The sandwiches are tasty, decently priced, and come with fries and a salad....

Oh no. They were one of my favorite restaurants on Nostrand. What happened?

I assume they weren't real profitable and had an exit clause on their lease, at the one year mark.

waitress said that the holidays were really slow and they didn't have enough money to stay open.

Competition is increasing, so they are wise to cut their losses now.   Lots of new places will open by June 1:

I wonder what this space will become next....

This is a bummer. I loved being in their delivery zone

bummer! I loved eating there but admit i could afford to do so only once every other week.

You know, they were really hampered by the landmarking rules on the primary building facing Dean cos they could never get a proper contemporary signage on the building.

this is terrible news

I really miss this place. The space has remained empty since they closed. Anyone hear any rumors about what will become of it?

I just did a quick search of the address (638 Nostrand) and did not find any active ads looking for a tenant.

...so, unless the landlord is pitching it to a less public audience, it may be vacant for a while.

 

perhaps they are waiting to add the other 2 storefronts together into one place instea
d of 3 little places to rent?

Goodbye Chop Chop! Hello Oh Taco!  Hope I got that name right. guys working inside the place for a month said they are ready to open in a few days.  Also Japanese coffee cafe is set to open on Bergen by the bus stop soon.  Where is that list of all the Nostrand Ave happenings.?

I think that list is too dated to resurrect.

Perhaps we should just start a new thread?

I started one for OhTaco: http://brooklynian.com/discussion/47305/next-up-at-638-nostrand-near-bergen-oh-taco?new=1

Japanese coffee cafe????

I call it the AirBnB effect.

I also would like to hear more about this Japanese coffee cafe.

Something's happening in the old Elsie's donut spot, too! Lots of activity near Nostrand.

I call it the AirBnB effect.

That's great.
