INNOVATIVE, INSPIRED CHINESE CUISINE WITH GREENMARKET SENSIBILITY RedFarm opened in 2011 at 529 Hudson Street in the West Village. Located on the parlor floor of an 1828 brownstone, above a basement laundromat, this new 42 seat restaurant from dim sum master chef Joe Ng and Chinese food expert Ed Schoenfeld aimed to be one of the most exciting and influential restaurants in the country. In 2014, the laundromat downstairs became Decoy, a cocktail bar and restaurant that soon became renowned for its peking duck dinners.
Creative dim sum & other modern, seasonal Chinese food in a cozy & rustic farmhouse-style setting.

Reviews
For our first visit we ordered the “Pac Man” dumplings, the mushrooms and vegetable spring rolls, the Seafood Fried Rice and the Grilled Jumbo Shrimp Curry. The ingredients were all incredibly fresh and flavorful. They are very generous with the seafood. The fried rice included whole lobster claw meat.
The food presentations were inventive and really fun. RedFarm is now on my go-to list whenever I’m in the mood for Asian food. Highly recommend.
The Peking duck comes in strong — flavorful meat, crispy skin, and the rare blessing of trimmed fat between skin and meat. The hoisin tastes properly authentic, and the unexpected cranberry sauce adds a small, clever twist.
For NYC, this is easily one of the better Peking ducks around.
That said, the duck should’ve arrived piping hot. Ours felt like it sat for about ten minutes before reaching the table. And the wrappers could be thinner — more delicate, more traditional, letting the duck itself shine.
The wide rice noodles were the quiet star — perfect char, smoky bite, great texture.
The Chinese broccoli dish was fine but too heavy on cornstarch, a bit too much wine, and overall saltier than it needed to be, losing the clean, bright flavor it should carry.
Overall: high highs, small misses. I’d still return just for the duck and noodles
The food here is no joke. We tried the lamb meatballs (I believe they were a special), the duck tacos, the dumplings and I had a Basil Peach Cobbler mocktail.
We had reservations, but I was a bit late due to my misunderstanding of subway routes. My friend had already arrived and they assured him it was not a problem at all. When I arrived, we were seated at the long community table. I was worried it was going to be a tight squeeze, but there was not an issue there at all.
Our server (unsure of her name, but she was a lovely blonde wearing a Wisconsin sweatshirt) was very kind and attentive. The atmosphere was quaint and homey and the food was divine. I will be returning to RedFarm on my next visit and many future visits as well.
We had hoped for the lobster special but were told the chef had rejected the lobster shipment that day for being of low quality. We take this as a good sign that they care about the food.
Exceptionally good food, much better than the midtown location. The shrimp curry is incredible, a huge amount of delicious food. The vegetables in it, particularly the tomatoes, and the tofu are insanely delicious. The duck dish with the wraps is terrific. Pass on the seafood fried rice though.
Service is a little off and they let dogs in, nothing like a whiff of dog at dinner to make you feel sick.
The team was wonderful to work with from start to finish. Communication was prompt and helpful as we explored menu options and coordinated logistics for pickup. Everything went smoothly on the day — easy pickup, friendly service, and the food was incredible.
The Peking duck was the star of the night and fed our group of about 20 beautifully. Everyone loved it, including those with gluten-free needs who were well accommodated. It was our big splurge for the celebration, and it was absolutely worth it!
Highly recommend RedFarm — both for dining in (don’t miss the mocktails!) and for catering special occasions.
Every dish was delicious. The vegetable dumplings were almost too pretty to eat, the scallion pancakes hit all the right notes, and the duck fried rice? A standout that I’m still thinking about. Albert, our server, was extremely welcoming; he made us feel completely at home.
Already counting down the days until my next visit.
