After a photo emerged showing a rat roaming around Prosperity Dumpling’s prep area, it was only a matter of hours until the shop lost its “A” health grade. Now there’s a sign outside that says “Temporary Close” [sic], but the daughter of the owner has told a Gothamist reporter:

“We’ll reopen as soon possible. We care about all of our customers. We always try to make the best dumplings and the freshest dumplings for everyone, but anyway, we made a mistake and we’re trying to fix it. We will keep the inside of the store clean and the outside clean.”
