Upon the Palace has opened

November 4, 2024 Restaurant/Bar News

J. caught this shot over the weekend: Upon the Palace, the “upscale Chinese and sushi restaurant” (per their Instagram) that has taken the former Salaam Bombay space at 317 Greenwich and Reade, opened on Friday. Of course, more TK when I get in there. They are on Resy or OpenTable.

See some shots of the menu below; dumplings run around $12; two pieces of yellowtail sushi is $15; sesame chicken is $23.

The owners have been working on the space since February. They also have Uncle Ted’s Modern Chinese Cuisine on East 8th Street and The Corner on Ninth Avenue and 48th Street. Uncle Ted’s was founded by Ted Chang in 2014, and is now managed by the Mogao Group. Dishes include crispy pepper chicken, double cooked pork, cumin mutton and “our absurdly delicious house fried rice.”

Also, for the record: all this time everyone has been saying that Fortune Chinese Restaurant was in that spot, but Jane Freeman just found a picture: Fortune was at 329 Greenwich, the current Muse Paintbar. So we will have to rethink what predates Salaam Bombay…

    Please look into “Lotus Blossom” It was there for many years in the 80s and maybe early 90s. I even had my graduation party in the basement. It was a great Chinese restaurant.

    “And on July 2, Ms. Sarko and the former Palladium doorman Haoui Montaug will open Toto (Taste of the Orient), a Thursday-night-only Japanese-style sing-along club beneath Lotus Blossom, a Chinese restaurant at 319 Greenwich Street in TriBeCa.”
