Christmas prime rib at Ringside Steakhouse.

As unbelievable as it is, Christmas is almost upon us, and with it, Christmas meals. The landscape of the city has dramatically changed — dozens of downtown hotel bars and restaurants open for holiday specials have fallen away, and only a few remain. Still, many of our favorite restaurants around town are open for regular business or special dinners — or, at the very least, will offer takeout ahead of the holiday, ranging from individual ham dinners to full-blown prime rib meals to feed a family. And those who love to celebrate with a meal of Chinese food, there are plenty of options on that front, as well.

Here’s where to order Christmas-y dinners (and desserts) in 2022.

Note: Health experts consider dining out to be a high-risk activity for the unvaccinated; it may pose a risk for the vaccinated, especially in areas with substantial COVID transmission.

Excellent Cuisine

Copy Link

This relatively new dim sum spot on Southeast Division is becoming the hot spot to get juicy shu mai and plump har gow, and the restaurant will be open on Christmas Day. Christmas brunches of handmade dumplings and buns are a lovely option, but the restaurant also serves fun larger dishes that might be nice for Christmas dinner, like fried crispy squab and salt-and-pepper squid. It’s likely that Excellent Cuisine will be popping on December 25, so visiting during the off hours would probably be a smart idea.
