One of the best dim sum places in New York. Three of us got many order including two lunch specials ended up with less than $60. (Try their fried pork chop)

Washing down quality faves Seafood Sui Mai & stir fried Radish Cake w/ Duck Meat w/ Chrysanthemum tea. Get this cheaper: dinner dim sum & drinks menu for 1/2 off Mon-Fri 4-7pm.

Best Chinese I ever had! On the outside it doesn't look like much but it's not what it seems! The dumplings are amazing btw 😉

Cleanest dim sum place you find in China Town. You don't have to sacrifice yumminess for that though. Only the thing you don't have is carts and I see it as you are being served fresh food

Red Egg caters to those looking for excellence in their cuisine and a hip and contemporary venue in which to enjoy it in. Serving traditional Cantonese and Szechuan specialties,

Their dim sum options are really good, with items like the garlic spare ribs, and they also have great noodle/rice dishes that work well for groups.

Dumplings were solid, lo mein and chicken dishes were cooked perfectly... overall nice sit-down restaurant and attentive wait staff!!

I love the Coconut Pudding, it's so delicious.

Red Egg, with it's saturated, sultry red lighting and solid variety of DJ's, including regulars like Chelsea Leyland and May Kwok, is restaurant by day, Chinatown hot spot by night. Read more

Great place to bring people to their first dim sum experience. Easy menu and no dim sum carts.

If you order the duck buns, they'll sell you the rest of the duck for $5. Plenty of delicious skin and meat on there to enjoy!
ZenFoodsterDecember 5, 2015
Fried pork & chive dumpling filling were ok but skins tasted store-bought. XO Rice rolls w/ beef has little XO sauce & taste.

Great for large parties actually -- think: Fancy Dim Sum (before Chinatown Brasserie folded (bummer). There's also Red Farm in Tribeca!
Jenny FanAugust 3, 2013
Lighting is oddly sultry (and red) for a dimsum joint. Small portions, pricier side - not my pick when I'm craving cheap yummy Chinese food and/or the familiar glow of neon Chinatown lighting.

Cleaner, tastier dim sum than your average Chinatown place, with fresh dishes you order off the menu rather than from a cart.

Pork and chive dumplings a hit. Rice rolls and soup dumplings sadly a big miss. Get the steamed milk dessert.

Get the Young Coconut Pudding to share with at least one friend. Served out of a coconut shell; it's something you'll want to save room for.

Great Chinese, via Peru! (Not the Chinese food you grew up with) Great decor and music. Perfect for a special private party.

Tasty dim sum. No "cart" service, but very responsive staff and great food in a not-so-crowded-and-crazy space.
Nicole ShoeApril 23, 2016
Green tea balls dessert. Amazing!! Everything here is of awesome quality.
Lori LuoAugust 10, 2014
Come for a quieter, less-rushed dim sum experience. Dishes are checked off a sheet and delivered as they're prepared.
Erik NygrenJanuary 14, 2014
The scrambled egg dish (vegetarian) is the best egg dish I've had in a long time. Lunch service was slow, despite it's emptiness.

get the stir fry radish cakes, comes with eggs, julienned carrots/leeks/celery, and DUCK :)
Anders HusaApril 1, 2012
Awesome dim sum. Try the steamed egg whites and the coconut pudding (served in a coconut). Avoid the cocktails.
Megha GuptaMay 4, 2013
Best dim sum I've had since SF!! The desert buns were super messy and delicious
Contently HQApril 12, 2013
Just got our Friday lunch from here! Great selection and great quality. We recommend the dim sum!
Emilie DishonghMarch 14, 2012
Pork and scallion fried dumplings, and the special rice roll that's fried then wrapped a second time in a steamed rice wrapper.
EchoDAOctober 2, 2012
its more then a restaurant it turns into a lounge good fun, good lounge, small dance floor area!
Olivia MAugust 13, 2014
50% off dim sum menu plus wine and drinks during happy hour
William HMarch 5, 2016
Soup dumplings are hard and unpalatable and they charge for tea. Jin Fong this is not.
Susanna Lee PaulusOctober 17, 2010
My favorite place to go for dim-sum - a lot quieter than the normal fair. Try the fried radish cakes with bits of duck!
JimmySeptember 13, 2014
Good dim sum food. Make reservations to avoid long wait to be seated

Skip the fried short ribs and go straight to the soup dumplings. You want your own order.

Peruvian-Chinese to perfection. Excellent chicharrones, dim sum and tallarines.
VictorJune 15, 2018
They have dim sum even at like 3pm

Last week, we told you Wednesday is the new Friday at Red Egg. We weren't kidding. And the crazy continues as Fashion Week parties approach.

Great place in Chinatown with melt in your mouth dim sum. Peking duck sliders were scrumptious. Go early, it gets crowded. Read more
Aaron CallowayJuly 12, 2013
Absolutely love this place. Best dumplings in the city.

Duck sliders, pan-fried tofu w/ bok choy, garlic chicken, pan-fried noodles, sesame chicken, and singapore mei fun were our favorite entrees.
Phillip TiongsonApril 17, 2013
Love the crispy shrimp rolls. Best dim sum on menu.
Berk KapiciogluMay 30, 2014
Seafood Pork Sui Mai is a delicious dim sum. Service is subpar. Decor is off.
Marja NykänenFebruary 19, 2017
Pork bun appetizer was excellent as well as the fried noodles. Nothing was bad.

the coconut dessert is SO GOOD

Half price drinks and dim sum in bar area during happy hour - good deal. I've not tried the food otherwise.
