Rather than tongue-in-cheek art or menu specials, their chalkboard has become a de facto “store for sale” announcement. Ergo, those alleged restructuring efforts were possibly a ruse.

Kung Fu Bing was originally located at the corner of Eldridge and Division, where it attracted immediate attention for being a kitchy eatery with a Panda-bear mascot. But their presence at 79 Division Street only lasted eight months before closing in March 2010. Shortly thereafter, the Bing packed up the gear for 189 East Houston.
