The Red Pavilion — Restaurant in New York

Response to Business: In full transparency that statement is not the complete truth.

As you have stated, the food portion was billed separately, which was comped when your team reached out to the host (seeing as only 10 of 15 ordered dishes made it out of the kitchen) ONLY in response to our initial review but the drinks portion was in fact charged in full, pending the conditional that we would kindly remove the one star review.

Out of principle that review was not removed by us, but the business reported and removed said review as a means of preservation of a high star rating.

As a courtesy we still tipped the staff as that was and is the decent thing to do; their time, sweat, and tears were still put in to try and rescue an operation that was extremely unorganized.

Rather than attempting to skew reality to project a caring and endearing management team, take this review with your chin up and improve the business practices of your establishment.

Original Post: I hope this review does not get taken down as I am looking out for the community and not the establishments upside.

For context, here is the original hidden/deleted review as well as subsequent hidden/deleted comments:

I’m all for supporting Asian American Businesses and what they are trying to promote, but unethical practices still need to be pointed out;

In the Fall of 2023, a group of 20+ individuals entertained the idea of upscale Dimsum, after a horrendous experience, we just wanted the public to know about our personal experience, to be able to make that educated decision for themselves.

Instead, this business decided to hide/delete said reviews from multiple different individuals,

We only hoped to leave this experience in the past,

However upon resurfacing on social media and an influencers post to promote the business (actual friends with management), we again only tried to educate a misled public.

For said influencer to then disable comments on the promotional post, only exacerbating the issue we tried to inform people about.

A bad review may be detrimental towards the business’ wallet, but falsified reviews are detrimental to the...

The Red Pavilion is truly a hidden gem in Brooklyn and one of the most captivating venues I’ve had the pleasure of visiting. From the moment you step inside, you're transported to a magical Asian neo-noir world that feels both intimate and otherworldly. The ambiance is unmatched, with dim lighting, intricate decor, and an artfully curated atmosphere that immerses you in a unique blend of elegance and intrigue.

The performances are the heart and soul of The Red Pavilion, and they never fail to leave a lasting impression. Whether you're attending a mesmerizing cabaret show, a soulful jazz performance, or their magical Studio Ghibli Jazz Nights, every event is thoughtfully designed to showcase incredible talent and celebrate Asian culture in the most beautiful way. The production values are top-notch, and the storytelling through music, dance, and aerial acts is pure artistry.

Their expertly crafted cocktails deserve a special mention. The bar menu, inspired by Asian herbal flavors, strikes a perfect balance between creativity and taste. Each drink feels like an extension of the performance itself, enhancing the overall mood and experience. The service, too, is impeccable. The staff are attentive, welcoming, and eager to ensure every guest has a memorable evening.

The Red Pavilion is perfect whether you're planning a romantic date night, an outing with friends, or even a private event. The venue’s inclusive and diverse atmosphere makes it incredibly inviting for all. It’s clear they are passionate about not just entertainment but also creating a space that honors Asian culture while fostering community and connection.

If you’re looking for an unforgettable night out that combines extraordinary performances, stunning decor, and delicious drinks, The Red Pavilion is an absolute must-visit. It’s more than just a nightclub–it’s an experience that will leave you enchanted and...

This place feels like it’s struggling or something. A few months back, we tried to come by after they had posted on IG for a jazz evening (free before a certain time) and got turned away as “they don’t do this anymore” but we were also unwilling to pay $10 pp for the remaining 20-30 mins of jazz of the evening and the 2 drink min. Understood that it was a new establishment but disappointing as you should want to win your customers over.

We wanted to give this place another chance so tried out Sunday brunch. Food was okay. Menu was small. Portions are small. Flavors were good. Tea was lovely. But ultimately, we walked out not feeling super satisfied. Servers don’t seem to be well trained like what’s the best way to order food or taking away used plates/dim sum trays. And it def was expensive for what it was … the ambience (maybe not super great for daytime) to the service to the food to the prices and the final check. The entire experience just didn’t feel warm and inviting.

I also don’t understand the $20 deposit pp for resys…seems unreasonable since this isn’t fine dining or a white table cloth restaurant. And it really just sours the experience. Most of the tables were empty. I would def understand if deposits were needed for a large party or charging a fee for no-shows but that wasn't the case.

One of the two bathrooms was also sort of not available (lock issues).

Perhaps Red Pavilion could use some tweaks and refocus. Amping up their portions, lowering their prices a smidge, adding more substantial dishes, etc and then they can really drive some volume at least when it comes to...
