My family use to order from RF all the time when they were in their old location. I missed this place so much!!! My now order: General tso extra spicy with white rice (or fried) and an extra side of veggies. When I say their general tso is soooo good! Extra spicy does not make it unbearable at all. Heads up - the veggies are pretty much just steamed so there isn't much seasoning or sauce at all. However the portions are very large. I ate on this for two days! Will be back to try the sushi and a few other dishes. Great food and service! read more

I'm really glad this restaurant reopened. I've always enjoyed their Dragon and Phoenix and the taste hasn't changed. I went during a time when it wasn't busy so the service was fast. read more

Picked up a to go order which was ready when I arrived. It was well prepared and tasted very good. I will be ordering again soon.

This was our first time visiting and we had a great experience. Customer service was great, food was hot and fresh and the portions were huge. We dined in and it's worth mentioning that the restaurant itself was also very clean. We'll definitely be coming back! read more

Red Fish Teriyaki Asian Express - Sesame chicken - Asian Fusion Near Me - Madison, Alabama

So happy that Red Fish is finally back open! Their original spot was struck by lightning and burned down, and for a while we weren't sure if they'd ever come back. Then one day we saw their Facebook post about reopening at a new location, and we knew we had to go support this hardworking family's business. If you're into sushi and Chinese food, this is the place to be! They've got a wide variety of dishes and bento boxes that always hit the spot. Fresh, flavorful, and made with care. Don't miss out on Red Fish...it's a true comeback story and a gem in the area! read more

Lots of food for the money. Very tasty as well. Looked like a family owned business. Greeted as soon as I walked through the doors. Not a fancy place but I went for the food. I would have eaten there but we got it to go. read more

Great food, good portions, and great service! Still the same great flavors as before!

First visit and we loved it. Not the standard chain Asian food. The Chicken Lo Mein was delish, with plenty of tasty chicken. The noodles were large and well seasoned. Sesame chicken is sweet and tasty, beating expectations. read more

Fantastic flavor and very fresh vegetables. The spicy shrimp are perfectly cooked as is the chicken. I'll definitely be back soon.

I looooove any and every kind of dumpling, so when I saw this place had a drive through, I knew I had to have some as a snack. This restaurant is located in a small shopping mall in Madison. They have a fairly large menu of typical Americanized Chinese favorites as well as Bento boxes, soups, appetizers, etc. The drive through makes them somewhat unique -- big fan of that. I was asked to pull into a parking spot and wait rather than it being handed to me through the window, so I initially was worried I'd be waiting for a while, but my food came out quickly and it was obvious it was made fresh, considering it was so hot I couldn't even touch it at first, haha. I went basic and just ordered an appetizer of fried dumplings, as it was too late in the afternoon for any real kind of lunch. They did a great job frying them -- they were super crispy on the outside but tender on the inside. I'm not sure exactly what the filling consisted of -- it was mostly vegetables, and I think a little bit of chicken, but I was munching as I drove and didn't take note of too much specifically one way or another. Sadly, the flavors were all sort of nondescript and nothing really stood out. The dish came with small plastic cups of a soy based dipping sauce, which was also fairly generic, with mild sweet and salty flavors. I'd be careful before driving off, as they were in the styrofoam box with the dumplings, and it would be devastating to have it spill and get all soggy before you got home. I didn't dislike these dumplings (I've never met a bad one), but I probably wouldn't order them again. This restaurant is not near my frequent haunts at all, but I'd consider trying a different dish as they have so many positive reviews. read more

Truly the worst Chinese food I have ever had in my life. The combo lo mein was incredibly flavorless. The meat was barely perceptible as beef and chicken. The shrimp were ok but weirdly breaded. The only good thing about this was that the broccoli was obviously fresh. The steamed dumplings tasted like they were made from frozen, straight out of a bag from the freezer at an Asian grocery store. At a little over a dollar per dumpling, I could have bought the entire bag and been much happier heating it up in my hotel room microwave. The side of fried rice was an absolute joke. It was literally white rice that had soy sauce dumped on it. I could have done that myself. Complete waste of $5.80. If this food had been free, I would have chosen to go hungry. I only ate it because I spent $40+ on it. I'd like to say that at least my order was ready quickly, but I don't think that is a good thing in this instance. Please learn from my mistake and don't waste your money here. read more

Red Fish Teriyaki Asian Express - This is fried rice??? - Asian Fusion Near Me - Madison, Alabama

QuckNDirty: Good food, fast and friendly service, Clean'ish facility, location in multi-unit building, fountain drinks, fresh tea, fast casual Review: This is located in a multi purpose shopping center in Madison right off Wall Triana. They serve everything from Bento Boxes to Sushi. Their sushi, everytime I had it, has been fresh and delicious for such a small hole in the wall. Their service has been very friendly and their food has been very delicious compared to a lot of of Chinese restaurants around town. Parking can be a little difficult during weekday lunch hour but all other times its okay. Should You go: Most definitely. It is a good place to eat What should I try: If you want to start with something simple, get the the Chicken Teriyaki Bento Box. You'll get Chicken, Rice, Salad, a california roll and some Edamame. Kids Review: We love it! read more

Sushi was good but I had a piece that had hair on it. Kinda gross. I guess I have to add 18 more characters but don't really know what else to say other than my sushi had hair in it read more

Helpings were generous, but flavor was below expectations. Fried wontons were soggy, not crisp. Hoped for better

My wife and I called in a take away last night. Cashew Chicken and a Chicken Fried rice. While I was at the pickup window, I asked the young lady how's business? She said not good. I said hang in there. Things will improve. After getting home I understood what the issue was. In our case the chicken fried rice was bland and the chicken strip seemed boiled and undercooked. The Cashew Chicken lacked flavor and had very little Chicken. I did like the Vegetables, but I had to add Sambal pepper sauce and lots of soy. I sure hope that this was a one off as I would have normally given a review of 1 or 2 stars. I may look for more current reviews before I stop by again. Please let me know if I am wrong? read more

Nearby Chinese restaurant to the hotel we were staying at. Turned out to taste great at a fair price and good sized.

Delicious sushi and spring rolls! Lovely family business. Excellent selection! We will be back! read more

They used to have the best Crab Rangoon in the area. For $16, I just had the worst Crab Rangoon in my entire lifetime! It had a runny center, and the nastiest tasting food I've had in awhile. I took one bite and had to throw it away. That was not crab Rangoon. I can not speak of any other items on the menu, but I was severely disappointed!! Save your money!!!!! I mean what is this supposed to be?!? read more

We have tried every Chinese restaurant in Madison, and this one is our favorite. Get the steamed dumplings and crab rangoon. Their sushi is good also. One thing I'd advise however is if you're getting take-out, say no soy sauce because the little soy sauce cups always turn over so just ask for it in packets when you get there. read more

Best Chinese / Japanese take out in the area! Everything tastes a little fresher than similar places that I've had. Easy order online, and your food is always ready on time. read more

Meh, not terrible, but certainly not worth going out of your way. The food is actually pretty good and the service is fine. I know, it's a strip-mall Asian express, so I shouldn't expect anything more. If you're looking for a sit down dining experience with perhaps a beer or glass of wine, this isn't the place. If all you're after is a decent Asian meal at a very reasonable price you're in luck. read more

Red fish is an alright spot to get a quick Asian fix. The rice isn't really "fried", it's more like white rice with soy sauce mixed in. The entrees are good tasting and a decent portion size. It's not somewhere I'd go on a date night. This is more of a quick lunch kinda place. read more

Solid dinner. I had the hibachi chicken dinner with steamed dumplings. Other than the chicken being a little dry, everything had great taste! The rice was especially good and the dumplings were flavorable too!! The staff was extremely nice and service was quick!!! read more

Red Fish is in one of the worst possible restaurant locations in Madison (formerly Philly Connection subs). It's a small unit next to Windmill beverages and generally hard to see from the street. They have renovated the inside with some stone work and fresh paint. The decorations are sparse but it seems clean. I had the beef teriyaki bento box which included edamame, an iceberg lettuce salad, fried rice, a California roll, and a drink for $9 out the door. The beef was served hot and optionally included mushrooms which I found flavorful and enjoyable. I was pleased with the quality and value. They have table service for inside dining and our waitress was exceptionally friendly. The restaurant is setup so you can watch the cooks prepare your food and they too were friendly. Everyone on staff seemed to be trying hard so I think if enough people can actually find them they have a good chance at succeeding. I would go back. read more

It was not a very good start. I got there and one of the servers had a long phone call order using the computer. Everyone was just standing waiting for here to get done. Another server could have taken the stand-in orders to get them going but they just waited until she was done with the computer. Food wise, the lunch box was pretty good. A lot of good food for the price. I will try one more time and hope for better service as the food will bring me back one more time. read more

My mother-in-law had been craving Chinese food and since we were back home for Christmas and she has health concerns and doesn't get out during the pandemic we got some from this place while at my brother-in-laws house. When it comes to Chinese food, there is only one thing I get and that is General Tso chicken. For me, when you make General Tso, if it doesn't have a Tien Tsin chile pepper anywhere in the dish when it gets in front of me that means you didn't make it right. It didn't have any kick to it at all. Also, the fried rice was underwhelming and had no flavor whatsoever. When in town next we will not be going back. read more

Definitely one of the best Chinese takeouts around. We've ordered from here time and time again. It's always hot and fresh. Never messes up our orders and whether we pick up or chose delivery it's pretty fast. Our go-to takeout any night of the week for sure. read more

I visited Red Fish last Johns about 45 minuets before closing. The people was great and the food came out fast and perfect. The portions Re excellent as well as the price. The only down side is a limited appetizer menu. My crab and cream cheese fried dumplings were jut puffs of fried dough. The cream cheese just cooked away during frying. That's the only negative I found during my visit. read more

This is seriously a hidden gem it has the best food for amazing prices there so fast I getting your food out to you it does have a drive-through and we eat here probably 2 to 3 times a month. read more

We always love this place for take out. You get great size portions and always have left overs for another meal. They are friendly and quick. I really enjoy going in and watching them cook our dinner. Their bento boxes are a good deal for a nice variety. read more

If I could give it a zero I would. This place was great when I moved here back in 2014! It was our place to go when we wanted good Chinese food! Last year I was literally disgusted by their general Tao's chicken! It was hard and tough and dark meat gross!!!!!!! I haven't eaten there again and said I never would and today I decided to give them a second chance! NOPE NOPE AND NOPE!!!!! It was the same tonight, dark and very strong tasting like reheated chicken in the microwave, which might explain the tough chewiness yuck Now the fun part, burping the same strong flavor for the rest of the day! I'm sorry, this time I will stick to my decision of not going there EVER again! read more

Love this place. Food is great and a good customer service is a plus. Price is reasonable. Would recommend if you're craving Chinese food

Pro: the food isn't awful Cons: Slow, very slow Short on flavor, think "hospital" Asian food Pricy considering quality and quantity Frankly, anyone that thinks it's great has probably only been to pf wangs or panda xpress read more

This is a regular for us on Friday night movie night. We usually get the teriyaki chicken but have tried the general tso's and the spring rolls. read more

I went here for the first time with my girlfriend. The service was overall satisfactory and that is why they get one star. The other star comes from the fact they were clean. Other than that the food was not good. The fried rice was alright but sorta dry. I got the shrimp in lobster sauce. Never get the shrimp in lobster sauce. It smelled like something I can't say because it is foul. My girlfriend got the teriyaki tofu. It was bland and not crispy at all even though it was deep fried. This place is hot garbage. read more

Great food and large portion size. I had the teriyaki beef bento box with steamed rice and I substituted out the California Roll for the Philly Roll. The sushi was excellent and the food was great. Will return soon. read more

Excellent place in Madison! Customer service is top notch, very friendly, personable, accommodating, and great hospitality. The food tastes incredible too! Portions are generous and well priced. Ordered spicy tuna roll ($4.25), which included fresh tuna, little crunches on the inside, and spicy sauce on top. Eight pieces total. What a steal!. Also ordered a teriyaki chicken and steak bento box with fried rice, salad, a dumpling, and four California sushi rolls. Everything was amazing! My wife and I ordered our five year old general tso with lo mein noodles. He was happy and actually ate more than half of my wife's teriyaki chicken from her bento bowl! We tried the tso and were impressed. It had a nice crunch to it, but wasn't over fried and greasy. The chicken itself had excellent quality as well as the noodles. I believe we found our new favorite spot in the Huntsville/Madison area. This place blows Taste of China and Rice Box out of the water. There's even a drive thru/pick up window on the side. Place is really clean on the inside too! Overall great experience! read more

I order delivery from this place all the time and food is always fantastic. Yum yum sauce will change your life. Order extra!

I ordered the teriyaki tofu and egg rolls. The food was good and fresh. The tofu was crispy. They do use soft tofu if you like firm tofu this may not be for you. I would've given them 5 stars but they forgot my vegetables which the menu says comes with the entree and also the drive through was extremely slow. read more
