RedFarm

RedFarm Restaurant Review:

Up just enough stairs to make you feel you're floating above the streetside rush, and through a sliding door, RedFarm awaits. Crisp woods and clean lines give this tiny place a fresh yet homey feel. Once seated, the trustworthy staff guides you through the menu. The chef, who has a proper Hong Kong dim sum background, sends out staples like crispy beef and also dishes with playful twists such as pastrami egg rolls and dumplings in the shape of Pac-Man. Consider the barbecue duck fried rice and sautéed lamb with Chinese broccoli and pickled shallots. Prime rib and black cod are standouts, but you'd still leave happy having dined on appetizers and dim sum alone – don't miss the oxtail dumplings and the shrimp and snow pea leaf dumplings. Finish with an exotic fruit plate or simple poached pear and wash it all down with a craft beer or a selection from the small but well-curated wine list. Crowd-pleasing fresh juices accented by nori essence, bitters or yuzu syrup dot the cocktail list.
