The summer has been off to a bit of a sad start in the South Florida restaurant world. A number of popular restaurants—including Mexican restaurant Ensenada, Greek restaurant Byblos Miami, and more—have closed for the summer. The same, sadly, is true for RedFarm, the exciting Chinese restaurant that opened about a year and a half ago in Coconut Grove; in fact, this location is closing permanently, as the owners look for a new home elsewhere.
“Thank you to all of our guests who joined us in Miami,” reads a post published on the Coconut Grove restaurant’s Instagram page, announcing the closure, which followed on June 29. “We look forward to serving you our Pac-Man Shrimp Dumplings, Ed’s Pastrami Egg Roll, and signature Peking Duck at a new location soon. Until then, come visit us in NYC or Austin.”
The post says owners Jeffrey and Zach Chodorow are planning to reopen in a location that has yet to be secured. What Now reached out to Jeffrey Chodorow on Tuesday to ask what locales might be in the running for RedFarm’s next home. Chodorow was not immediately available.
“Whether that [location] be in Miami-Dade, Broward, or Palm Beach,” says coverage by the Miami New Times, “is still up in the air.”
“RedFarm brings a greenmarket sensibility to modern and inventive Chinese food and super-charged dim sum complemented by modern, rustic décor,” says the restaurant’s website. “Our menu takes a fresh approach to Chinese food. Signature items include clever dim sum creations and small plates: Pac Man dumplings; yuzu wasabi shrimp; mushroom spring rolls that evoke a chanterelle mushroom; and a sculptural chicken salad.”
