After months on the real estate market, Shanghai Lee (157 Franklin St.) has closed, according to a voicemail message and a letter on the window.

Both messages thanked customers for all their support. 

For years, Greenpoint locals enjoyed Chinese-American classics from the affordable neighborhood standby.

In October, Greenpointers reported that Shanghai Lee was closing, but we soon updated our story to reflect that the space was on the market, and the family was looking for a buyer who would keep the space alive. 

It’s unclear what the future of the space holds, but we’re wishing the Shanghai Lee family all the best.

    1. Yes, re Greenpointers and you. Good info. Give it at least two months to fix up the place. Besides being Thai they will have a bar, par for the course for Greenpoint. The family running the place a married couple who had a boy and girl were lovely people. The place was generally considered the best Chinese/American food in the area and won awards for it.

  1. Noooooo! Im so sad. Best wonton soup ever!! Meant to see if i could buy frozen wontons before they closed.
