Discouraged
There's a note on the "tidbit" section of the Indy Ethnic Foodsite that Shen Yangclosed! We are so sorry to hear that since they served us some excellent dim sum.
"Closed for renovation", on a restaurant door, usually is a lie.
If they are actually rebuilding the place, the sign normally says when they expect to be open again.
If they can get someone to buy the place, they'll get a higher price for "restaurant with established trade" than for "vacant restaurant building".
The head of Harbor Bank in Baltimore spoke on CSPAN before Congress in November. He said restaurant business was down 50%. That's enough to put a lot of restaurants out of business. Their customers will go to the restaurants that remain, and they'll survive.
Owning a restaurant means hard work and long hours. I have a lot of respect for those who do it adequately, and even more for those who do it well.
We are a married Indianapolis couple sharing what is on our radar. Mr. WYA! likes horror movies and cooking. Mrs. WYA! likes yoga and art. We both like non-chain restaurants, particularly ethnic ones and are as covert as possible when dining at restaurants that we write about in the blog. We are just average diners with no connections in the food/restaurant/PR industry. We pay for everything, try to take pictures on the sly, and have a typical customer experience.

When I went by there last Saturday, there was a sign on the door that said they were closed for renovation. So don't lose hope quite yet.
Oh, thanks for that glimmer of hope!! We would be crushed if they were gone forever.
