Over 4 Decades of Service to the Brooklyn Jewish Community
According to the restaurant’s own listing, Chap-A-Nosh had been serving the Brooklyn area for more than 40 years, placing its origins in the early 1980s or possibly earlier. That kind of longevity is rare in any restaurant industry, let alone kosher dining. Over the decades, it became a fixture of the Midwood neighborhood, known for its Chinese-American kosher menu and its casual, community-oriented atmosphere.
The operation had grown well beyond a single restaurant. Next door, the family ran Yun Kee, a sit-down Chinese restaurant, as well as Chap-A-Nosh Plus, a takeout spot that also housed a butcher, a bakery, and Shabbos food offerings. Whether those adjacent concepts are also affected by the closure is not yet known.
