Creative Chinese Plates with Playful Dumplings

RedFarm gives a Chinese menu a Western twist at 2170 Broadway on the Upper West Side. The kitchen shapes dough into Pac-Man dumplings and sends out plates of three chili chicken and XO prawns, with dim sum and Peking duck on the wider menu.

The bar pours wine, sake, craft beer, and seasonal cocktails, and comfortable booths and a welcoming bar keep the bright, farmhouse-style room lively. Groups can book private dining, and the menu carries gluten free options for mixed tables.

Dinner runs daily from half past four PM to 10 PM, and Friday through Sunday the doors also open from noon to 3 PM, with brunch on the weekend. Start with a round of dumplings, add a shared plate or two, and pick a cocktail from the seasonal list to carry the meal. The restaurant also takes reservations online and handles catering orders.
