A dim sum barn in the West Village? Sounds odd, and it is. But deliciously so. The
food is healthy, less greasy than your typical Chinese, with a fresh twist on
Asian classics such as crispy beef (a must have!) and dumplings.
Red Farm opened end of last year, and has quickly turned
into a classic for New Yorkers in the know craving some American-Cantonese. The
atmosphere is lively, and the crowd very mixed. The long communal table in the
center of the small, cozy restaurant, summons a relaxed vibe, while the red
checkered booth cushions evoke a leisurely picnic.
Chef Ed Schoenfeld’s whimsical creativity is reflected in
his creations: eyes on dumplings and crispy noodles that look like oysters
clutching a vegetable salad.
We sat at the 4-seat bar counter and were very well served
by a beautiful and friendly Asian-American mixologist.No reservations accepted.Red Farm529 Hudson Street by Charles Street
