Red 8

This is a great restaurant! It's a bit odd you actually seem to have to enter through the casino but this is a great spot!! The ambience and decor was beautiful and the staff was exceptional!! We got to try a lot of the food options and it was all so delicious!! Some of the food was a bit pricey, but it was all really good!! My favorite was probably the bbq pork which was perfectly cooked and super flavorful, but the chow mein and Peking duck was also good! The chili wontons were pretty spicy but delicious! The shumai and steamed pork bun were great choices if you like dim sum options! We also got great spring rolls and crab Rangoon along with some green beans and bok choy For dessert we tried the sweet buns that were served with some sort of sweet cream dip that was to die for the drinks were also amazing although I forget the names of the specific ones we ordered

RED 8 is located in the encore Boston Harbor Casino complex. All of the restaurants there exceptional. This one is famous for its Brisket noodle soup. It is HUGE, and can easily feed two. The broth is savory, and very filling, because fat adds flavor. THE DEAL: RED 8 makes some of the best beef collagen noodle soup you've never had

Red8 restaurant is located inside Encore, Boston's premier casino! Mind you, the quality of this restaurant makes it stand out on its own. The restaurant is designed so that you can look into the casino and watch people play, while still offering a restaurant feel. We were treated with exemplary service by the staff and were given some of the best dishes! We started off with peking duck, giant grilled oysters, and soft shell crab. the peking duck was some of the best I've had- the skin was perfect, the meat juicy, the wraps a perfect thickness. Oysters were surprisingly huge and flavorful, but was a bit confused about the beans. Soft shell crab was also the best I've ever had. I'm usually not the biggest fan but this was fantastic. The seasonings were perfectly balanced with salt, spice, and umami. The cook/fry was also perfect where the shell still had crisp but also wasn't scratching my throat. For entrees, we had beef tenderloin, honey walnut prawns, pea shoots, and salted fish fried rice. I've never had a Chinese beef dish as high quality as this. Each bite was like a piece of perfectly cooked steak, grilled to medium rare. We barely even had to chew because it was so tender. Honey walnut prawns were crispy and full of meat. The sauce was creamy and a bit acidic for balance. Pea shoots were unassuming but a classic, authentic comfort dish. Lastly, the fried rice. The fish itself was good (and indeed salty like its name) but just a bit unimpressive compared to the other dishes. This was one of the best dining experiences I had in Boston. I just wish it was closer to the city! It's hard to get to without a car but I'm still going back.

We went for drinks and apps what we got was great! But the server wasn't very nice. I love that the restaurants in the casino/hotel put your purses on chairs. If you like spice I would get the spicy chili wontons! The ambiance is great it's a fun lounge with casino floor views

I haven't been to Red 8 for a while and this weekend made me fall in love with them all over again. The food was amazing. The sweet and sour pork was juicy! It's very hard to make fried meat juicy but they've mastered it. The Peking Duck remains the best in Massachusetts. The clams in black bean sauce were made perfectly. The service is top notch and the ambiance is out-worldly great. Overall, an amazing dining experience.
