Red 8 – Encore Boston Harbor

Red 8 is the signature Asian restaurant at Encore Boston Harbor in Everett, named for the luckiest number and color in Chinese culture. Its menu of more than 100 items blends the flavors of China with Western technique, pairing Cantonese classics and dim sum with dishes from Shanghai and Sichuan. Highlights include Peking duck roasted in a wood-fire oven, whole steamed ginger-scallion fish, wok-tossed noodles and live Maine lobster from the tank.

Executive Chef Kevin HanQing Yuan grew up with the flavors of China and Macau and brings more than 25 years of experience, including stints at Hakkasan in San Francisco, luxury properties in Macau, Imperial Garden and Ilani Casino in Washington. The dining room is decked in rich reds with mahogany and brass, red crocodile-textured walls, blue and white chinoiserie, marble floors and coved ceilings.
