red hot chili pepper

if you are fan of indo-chinese food then you will love the food here. most amazing food in bay area. i am hearing about this place from past 3 years but got a chance to visit recently. i was wondering why i didn't go there before!

their portion size is small but the delicious food compensate for all. we went in a group of 4 people and made reservations ahead of time and we did arrive on time. so it was easy to get a place. this place gets crowded pretty quickly between 8 and 9:30 pm so plan accordingly. 

we tried their baby corn,chickenmomos, hakka noodles,chickenchopsuey, gobi manchurian. everything tasted just amazing. it is a must visit place for indo-chinese food lovers :)

if you were a fan of chinese food in india then this is a cuisine you would like too - indochinese cuisine. we ordered soup which was bad, dry chilichickenwhich was super good. mostly food was average nothing great.

red hot chilli pepper - one of the best indo-chinese restaurant in bay area. i always make reservation online. a table reservation is highly recommended if you are planning to go on weekend. the food here is quite spicy and have the right amount of spices which is meant to appeal the tastebuds. the servers here are are polite and amiable.

i have tried quite a few dishes at rhcp. starting with soup, i have tried their hot n sour and machow soup. i would recommend manchow soup over hot n sour. manchow soup has a distinct aroma that reminds you of the soup that we all get in any chinese restaurant in india. from their small plates, dry chilli chicken, dry cauliflower manchurian and crispy chilli potato - they all are amazing. small plate portions are not large enough.

i like their calcutta chicken, indo china basil chicken, chillichickenandchickenin hot garlic sauce are delicious. i would recommend indo china basilchickenand chilli chicken. they are super fantastic. from their rice and noodles menu, i have only tried hakka noodles and chilli garlic noodles. the chilli garlic noodles are soft, slightly on the spicier side and always cooked to perfection. i just love it!!

food: 4.5/5
service: 5/5
ambiance: 4/5

my hunt for a good indi-chinese restaurant continues. this was better that all the others i have been to so far in the bay area.

started with the munchow soup that was spot on. the hakka noodles and tangrachickenwere tasty too. chilly baby corn was just about ok.

the prawn preparation (chilly prawn i think) fell very short of our expectation. the fried rice was greasy and is avoidable.

the place was pretty crowded for lunch. luckily, we had made reservations.

service is so-so.

mixed feeling about the food and hence the average rating.
