Check hours before your meal.

What do Red Star hours mean for your meal?

Red Star hours support lunch or an evening meal at 112 E 116th St in East Harlem, Manhattan: the listed schedule starts at 11 AM Monday through Saturday, ends at 11 PM Monday through Thursday, and reaches midnight on Friday and Saturday. Sunday is the regular closing day, so choose another day rather than treating the weekend as one continuous opening pattern.

This Chinese counter serves familiar dishes including sesame shrimp, sweet and sour chicken, egg rolls, lo mein and General Tso's tofu. Its family-run setting and single-dollar price band make an informal meal the relevant comparison, not an assumed tasting menu or a promised fixed-price special. The asset does not list individual dish prices.

Use Red Star hours to narrow down a day first, then check which dish and service details matter to you. The regular timetable is not a live confirmation of today's opening or holiday arrangements. Call (212) 860-8883 if timing is critical; the recorded rating of 4.4 out of 5 from 156 ratings adds context, not a guarantee about your meal.

How do Red Star hours change across the week?

The useful split is between the four shorter weekdays and the two later-closing days. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday share an 11 AM opening and an 11 PM finish. Friday and Saturday retain that opening time but finish at midnight. That extra hour belongs to Friday and Saturday; it does not establish an after-midnight Sunday service.

For a straightforward plan, decide whether you want lunch, an earlier evening meal or the later listed window, then compare that choice with the day. An 11 AM start means the regular schedule does not support a breakfast visit before that time. Sunday is absent from the open-day list because it is explicitly marked closed, not because an opening time was omitted.

Red Star hours describe the restaurant's recurring timetable rather than kitchen cutoffs, last-order rules or waiting times. None of those operational details is supplied. If you are aiming near closing, ask the restaurant whether your intended arrival and order will work before setting off. A reminder can help you check, but it cannot confirm that the shop is serving at that moment.

What should you compare before ordering?

Start with the dishes actually named in the venue record: sesame shrimp, sweet and sour chicken and egg rolls appear in the description, while the summary also names lo mein and General Tso's tofu. That gives you several starting points for a menu question without turning the page into an invented complete menu. Compare the dish you want, not an assumed combination deal.

A practical next step is to identify your main preference and ask about the current preparation, portion and price when ordering. The source does not provide sizes, combo inclusions, substitutions or a full ingredient list. A tofu dish, for example, is evidence of that named option, not proof that every sauce or preparation meets a particular dietary requirement.

The recorded format is casual counter service. It suits a reader comparing a straightforward meal rather than looking for a documented formal dining experience. However, neither counter service nor the photographs establishes a reservation system, a delivery promise or an available seat. Keep those questions separate from the menu examples so your plan rests on what the restaurant can actually confirm.

How can you weigh value and reviews?

The single-dollar price band is a broad affordability signal, not a bill estimate. Use it to frame a comparison with other casual meals, then ask for the price of your intended order. The asset supplies no itemized menu, taxes, tips or minimum order. A price band cannot promise a specific total, even when the restaurant is described as budget friendly.

The recorded review picture is also worth reading in two parts. An average of 4.4 out of 5 from 156 ratings is the numerical snapshot. The accompanying summary says reviewers often praise freshness, seasoning, cleanliness and polite service, while also noting that one visitor reported a disappointing meal. Treat those as reported experiences rather than universal outcomes or a professional inspection.

For your own decision, compare the named dishes and informal setting against your priorities, then resolve the unanswered cost or service question directly. A high average does not establish a wait time, a portion guarantee or consistent results on every visit. Keeping the favorable themes beside the limitation makes the page more useful than an unqualified recommendation.


What else should you ask before going?

What are Red Star hours from Monday to Thursday?
The regular timetable lists an 11 AM opening and 11 PM closing on each of those four days. It gives you a day-planning window, but does not separately state a kitchen cutoff or final ordering time.

Do Red Star hours include Sunday?
No. Sunday is explicitly recorded as closed. Choose a different listed day for a meal, and do not interpret Saturday's midnight closing as evidence of a Sunday service or an exception to that closure.

Do Red Star hours extend to midnight?
Yes, the listed closing time reaches midnight on Friday and Saturday, following an 11 AM opening. The remaining open days finish at 11 PM. Any last-order arrangement would need confirmation because it is not supplied.

Where is the restaurant and how can I call?
The address is 112 E 116th St, New York, NY 10029, in Manhattan. The recorded telephone number is (212) 860-8883. Use that contact to ask a specific timing or menu question before making your plan.

What dishes can I check before ordering?
Named examples include sesame shrimp, sweet and sour chicken, egg rolls, lo mein and the tofu preparation described above. These examples are not a complete current menu and do not establish prices, portions, ingredients or availability.

What does the price band tell me?
The recorded $ marker is a general price signal only. No exact meal total or individual dish price is provided. Check your chosen items before ordering rather than turning the marker into an unsupported dollar budget.

How should I interpret the rating?
The asset records 4.4 out of 5 from 156 ratings, alongside commonly positive comments and one disappointing experience. That snapshot can inform a comparison, but it does not guarantee your service, food or overall experience.

Are reservations or parking confirmed?
Neither a reservation policy nor parking arrangements are documented in the supplied venue facts. Counter service alone does not answer those questions. Ask directly if either affects your visit, rather than assuming a booking option or nearby parking.
