"Nom Wah Tu — the newest, full-service sibling in the Chinatown Nom Wah empire — suddenly shut its doors after just about six months on the Lower East Side. A representative for the restaurants confirmed that it closed after Saturday’s service but declined to give a reason. The restaurant from owner Wilson Tang, located at 22 Orchard St. between Hester and Canal streets, starting serving chef Jonathan Wu’s modern Chinese American fare in September 2017, essentially inventive takes on dim sum dishes like shrimp dumplings with blood orange-kefir lime oil and duck fried rice with Brussels sprouts. It was the replacement for less than four-year-old (but critically-acclaimed) Fung Tu after the restaurateurs decided it needed “a much larger change.”" - Serena Dai
