Red Pearl Kitchen offers a combination of authentic Chinese/East Asian recipes with a hip, contemporary bar scene - think 1940's Shanghai glamour meets today's urban dining - an ambiance that is always friendly, inviting and relaxed.

The extensive menu offers a new twist on traditional Pan-Asian Cuisine and is great for individual or family-style dining.  Guests can select from a wide array of Dim Sum, Salad, Hot Pot, Curry, Noodle, Wok-Fired, and Vegetable dishes. The menu, combined with the full bar and overall design gives it a vibe that is glamorous, exotic and sexy.

With Asian-inspired colors and textures, Red Pearl Kitchen features unique black-pebbled floor, vibrant red and gold walls, dark sensuous wood tables and lantern-inspired lighting.  The space offers two private dining areas and the over-sized kitchen includes the hottest table in town - a "Chef's Table" in the midst of the bustling kitchen overlooking 4th Street.
