Back in November 2011, Yet Wah (2140 Clement) ceased operations and only a small “Sorry, we are closed” sign appeared on their door. At the time, we tried the phone number on their awning and got a disconnected message.
But something is afoot. The “Sorry we are closed” sign was recently appended with a handwritten “REMODEL” underneath it.
From a quick glance through the doors, it appears that the carpet has been changed to tile in the main dining room. But aside from that, hard to tell what else is going on; the shades along Clement are still drawn. A search of the Dept. of Building Inspection database indicates that no permits have been filed against their address.
Their phone number is still disconnected and the former Yet Wah website is now an empty page.
No word yet on when they’ll re-open and if there has been any change in ownership.
UPDATE 1/17/2012: Cub reporter David H. says a For Sale sign has been posted in the window. Looks like they won’t be re-opening until they find a new owner.

Thanks for the update!
Hopefully it wil reopen.
Wow, you sure do some investigation.
That “remodel” sign is pretty standard for places going out of biz out here {see Lucky Fortune}. I pass the {former} Yet Wah nearly every day, and that “remodel” sign went up within a week of your first Nov posting. For a while in early Dec there were some 3 day eviction notices up — indicating they hadn’t paid rent in 90ish days. Love to see them come back. Not. Holding. Breath.
Just updated this post – today a FOR SALE sign appeared in the window (see photo at end of post). Looks like it will be awhile before they re-open.
