The renowned Chinese restaurant RedFarm has officially closed its doors in Coconut Grove, a decision that brings disappointment to many in the South Florida dining scene. The closure, which took effect on June 29, 2023, marks the end of an approximately 18-month run at this location as the owners seek a new venue.
In a heartfelt message shared on the restaurant’s Instagram page, the owners expressed gratitude to their patrons, stating, “Thank you to all of our guests who joined us in Miami. 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.” The post also indicated that RedFarm will continue operations in New York City and Austin while they search for a new home in South Florida.
Future Plans for RedFarm
Owners Jeffrey and Zach Chodorow have confirmed their intent to reopen, although specific locations have yet to be determined. Reports from the Miami New Times suggest that potential sites could include areas within Miami-Dade, Broward, or Palm Beach. As of now, no official statements have been made regarding the timeline for a new location.
RedFarm has become known for its unique approach to Chinese cuisine, blending traditional elements with a modern twist. Their menu features inventive dishes such as Pac-Man dumplings, yuzu wasabi shrimp, and a sculptural chicken salad, all served in a setting that combines rustic decor with a vibrant atmosphere.
The closure of RedFarm is part of a broader trend in South Florida, where several notable dining establishments, including Ensenada and Byblos Miami, have also shut down for the summer season. The evolving restaurant landscape raises questions about the future of dining in this bustling region.
As the community waits for RedFarm’s next chapter, patrons are encouraged to stay updated by following the restaurant on Instagram at @redfarm. The hope remains that the popular eatery will find a new location, continuing to delight customers with its signature dim sum and creative small plates.
