Red Egg
Strange as it may seem, Red Egg’s fusion of Chinese and Peruvian food may be the wave of the future. Injecting Chinatown with a much-needed dose of style, this restaurant/lounge/bar (still BYOB for now) serves dim sum all day and night, plus a moderately priced menu of dishes such as four flavor beef stew, Peking duck sliders, and Ají de Gallina (spicy shredded chicken served with rice and potatoes). The sleek decor offers modern takes on Chinese traditions like the 88 lights hanging above the bar near the entrance (instead of the traditional 88 lucky Koi) and hot pink and charcoal walls (instead of the usual red and black), with smoky mirrors throughout. There’s a quiet place to dine towards the back, and off to the side is a lounge to unwind in as well. After all, what’s more calming than knowing that we can all get along?

Love it

Red Egg has become one of my favorite places in Chinatown. Incorrectly labeled as Fusion in some of the reviews, Red Egg is definitely not one of those Chino/Latino fusion places (where they think Chinese is anything that has soy sauce on it) but of dual cuisines. Met the owner who was charming and explained how he grew up with a Peruvian mother and a Chinese father. Red Egg was a reflection of his childhood and collection of favorite dishes from both cultures.

The dim sum at Red Egg is one of the best ever. A major plus for me is that in addition to the variety of Chinese dishes there is a great selection of Peruvian dishes as well. Must haves are the Red Egg's Puff, Lomo Salta, ending with the Young Coconut Pudding.

top quality food & service

Red Egg was the bar of the day in Sheckys when I went with my friend so I was expecting something special. They have the best shrimp dumpling ever! Shrimps are fresh and the Peking style porkchops were so good! The best part of the dinner is the Young Coconut pudding, a must try! Waiters are all accommodating and food was served at a reasonable time. I'd love to come back and try other dumplings. Nice interior specially the egg shaped chairs. Good job Red Egg! Thanks Sheckys! :)
