    Tofu in Szechuan sauce
    Parth K.

    It is rare that I refuse to eat a dish. We came here for dinner. And ordered the spicy chili corn, vegetable coins in Manchurian sauce 'top seller' and the tofu in Szechuan sauce. The review is not lower, because the chili corn was crispy and the tofu was good though the sauce did not taste anything of Szechuan. Their top seller the vegetable coins was an utter disaster that I couldn't even eat it. All it tasted of was oil in a bland sauce...very very disappointed. Service was okay.. but seemed a bit off. Will probably not come back.

    BLACK PEPPER CHICKEN and WHITE RICE
    Michelle C.

    What a great experience! The staff were so helpful, it was our first time here and they were checked in on us regularly. They were also helpful on how much each order would serve. The place was super clean! They even have a cute robot that brings some of the dishes to you! It was pretty cool that they were playing the soccer game there! We got the black pepper chicken, 1 order of rice, and chicken momo. Bathrooms were also, really clean! Definitely will be back!

    Peppers in vinegar

    The place I meant to eat lunch at was permanently closed and this Indo Chinese restaurant seemed intriguing. It's in a shopping area with easy parking. The restaurant is clean and was pretty quiet on a Thursday afternoon. They have a lunch special that has both vegetarian and meat options where you get an appetizer, main and rice or noodles. They ask about heat level and I got medium to play it safe. I didn't realize that all the chicken and fish would be in a batter and fried and seasoned with different sauces. We could have asked probing questions about the unfamiliar dishes so I guess that was on us. The menu only listed the items without descriptions. I got 'dry fish', which came with a lot of veg and it tasted nice, but there was as much batter as fish. The kappa noodles were absolutely nothing to write home about, and the chicken had a lot of batter and a nondescript sauce. I've never had Manchurian chicken; maybe it's supposed to be bland. There was a little pot of green chilis in vinegar that made the chicken taste better. An egg roll was a surprise on the plate. If I were to go again, I think I would order à la carte dishes mentioned on Yelp.

    I had fried rice wrap in egg. It look exciting so I wanted to try it. I had it with shrimp. It was very tasty. I added a little bit a hot sauce that was in the table. And gave it a kick very good. Also I had a drink that had an icicle on top. For me it was too sweet. I also has a shrimp appetizer was a little spicy which I love. Another dish was a lamb dish which was good pared with the rice. Service was great they gave us some recommendations and what to order. When we got there it was empty but later it was crowded I would come again

    *NEW* VEG CHILLI GARLIC MOMOS
    Vibhuti V.

    We visited this restaurant on Friday evening and this place did not disappoint us. We ordered chili garlic momos, chicken started and schzewan fried rice. All the dishes were flavorful and seriously satisfying in taste. Portions were generous, value for price. The restaurants ambience is lively, bright colors and energetic lighting, which contributes to cozy-causal yet trendy settings. Overall this place excels for those seeking authentic Indo-Chinese fusion.

    *NEW* SPICY CHICKEN TANGRA STYLE
    Carolyn P.

    We were in the area and decided to pop in for lunch. The dishes we ordered were really flavorful and delicious especially the Manchurian cauliflower. The restaurant is quite big, perfect for large parties or for tables for 2. The service was quick and friendly, but giving 4 stars because we felt like the dishes were quite expensive for their portions.

    Fried ice cream, Chocolate Pyramid, Warm Chocolate Lava Cake
    Vijay Y.

    We visited RHCP with friends and family - the total group size was 8 adults and 1 kid. There was ample seating space being a weekday. The ambiance was good. The food service was fast and there were a variety of food options - veg and non-veg. Calcutta chicken, Szechuan Fried rice, Chilli Garlic noodles were the group favorites. Hakka noodles are a great option for kids - 0 spice, lots of veggies and you can add any choice of protein to it. Desserts were also nice - we ordered chocolate pyramid, fried ice cream and chocolate lava cake. All the food tasted good and we had a great time!

    TOFU LETTUCE CUPS+CHILLI BABY CORN

    RHCP is a good place to visit if you are looking for a nice asian fusion restaurant. The ambiance of the place was fine, and the place seems to get pretty busy during rush hours. The service was alright, and there were even robots that came to our table to deliver our food! The food was also pretty good, and we all enjoyed our meals, but nothing was particularly good or special about the food. Overall, the place was nice, but it was nothing crazy and nothing to go out of your way to visit. (3.5 stars)!

    MUNCHOW SOUP
    Poonam M.

    Came here Sunday afternoon with a few friends to catch up. Was able to get a seat right away and the service was amazing. Everything was delicious got the chili veggie momos and munchow soup which had a kick of spice. Also got the garlic chili noodles that were perfect. Will totally go back to try some more dishes soon.

    Calcutta Chicken
    Bryce T.

    Fremont is full of Indian and Chinese restaurants, but you rarely see a place serving Indo-Chinese cuisine. As the name suggests, Red Hot Chili Pepper focuses on spicy flavors, as evident in its signature dishes like Szechwan fried rice and chili garlic noodles. My favorite dish is the momos--juicy dumplings commonly found in the Tibetan and Nepalese regions of Asia. While the portions are a bit small for the price, the fried ice cream is another story; it's a massive hit with my family!

    Burnt Garlic Fried Rice

    Went with 2 of my colleagues and order few items like garlic momos, some paneer Appetizer, few drinks, Garlic Burnt Fried Rice and some Panneer entree. Restaurant was clean and nice to see robos getting food from kitchen and served by servers. Service was good but one staff member at the main reception kept on disturbing while we were busy discussing things. If the restaurant was busy and someone was waiting then I understand that they need us to vacant table but this kind of service when the restaurant is not fully occupied was not welcoming. My previous visit with family was great, don't remember if it was same staff or staff has changed. For food, burnt garlic fried rice was worst, panner entree had big pieces of ginger and the paneer Appetizer was also not good in taste. Only item that stood out was Garlic Mom's appetizer. Would recommend garlic momos for sure.

    Ask the Community - Red Hot Chilli Pepper

    Can we sit inside restaurant during covid?

    Yes - we did a couple of months ago when we went there during Covid.

    Can you bring in your own wine? what is the corkage fee?

    Do they have outdoor dining?

    Yes, they do have 4-5 tables (on the patio) for outdoor dinning

    Hi I want to ask all food is vegetarian ? Can you do no onions and garlic food?

    They have vegetarian and non-vegetarian food. I am sure you can ask to custom order to exclude onions and garlic since most of their food should be made fresh just before serving.

    Does this place have lunch menu specials on weekdays?

    I did not see a lunch menu when I was there 2 weeks ago. I am unsure if it's always been like that, or if it is due to COVID.

    Is the meat halal?

    I believe it's noted on their menus.

    Is this the same as the Red Hot Chili in San Carlos?

    Yes it's a branch of same with same menu

I also quite liked the more normal sized burger that don't overfill you though I am sure most people would want them bigger. AMERICAN BURGER: Like a traditional American Cheese Burger, Beef Patty Seasoned with Freshly ground black pepper and salt. Meat was great and the bun was soft but it was a too soggy for us. BEEF CHEESE PARATHA COMBO: Stuffed with seasoned beef and melted cheese, grilled to crispy perfection. Very minimal beef and cheese was used. Tasted good with the yogurt and pickles but it there was so little ingredients I'm almost sure I would have liked the normal version more. 6 piece chicken wings: Well cooked and delicious, the "original" was a bit normal in flavor but I liked it dipped in their yogurt and their special sauce we asked for on the side.

My family and I, two adults and two young children, came here during Ramadan for iftaar. Before arriving, I specifically called ahead to ask whether we needed to come early because I understood restaurants can become very busy during iftaar time. I was told that arriving 10 to 15 minutes before iftaar would be perfectly fine and that our food would be ready around the time of breaking fast. Based on that reassurance, we came about 20 minutes before iftaar expecting a smooth experience. Instead, the moment we walked in, it felt like we were invisible. The restaurant was crowded but not chaotic. We sat down and waited while servers walked past us repeatedly without acknowledging us. Eventually, I had to flag someone down myself just to place an order. I even asked directly how long the food would take because we were fasting all day and had two small children with us. The server confidently assured us the food would arrive around iftaar time. That never happened. When iftaar finally arrived, all we received were dates and water. No appetizers, no main dishes, nothing. We continued waiting while table after table around us received their food. Meanwhile, our children became increasingly upset and hungry. Anyone with young kids knows that after a full day of fasting, asking them to wait another 20, 30, even 50 minutes is nearly impossible. Our kids were crying, exhausted, and confused as they watched other families eat while we sat there with empty plates. What made the situation worse was the complete lack of honesty and accountability. Every time we asked about our order, we were told, "It's coming soon." Then eventually the server disappeared entirely for nearly 20 minutes and avoided us altogether. A woman later approached us, but instead of apologizing or taking our concerns seriously, she became dismissive and defensive. By this point, nearly 50 minutes had passed since we ordered, and she still insisted we "shouldn't complain" (in Farsi) because the food would come "soon." That response was honestly more upsetting than the delay itself. A simple apology, honesty, or basic compassion toward a fasting family with small children would have gone a long way. We eventually left the restaurant feeling humiliated, disrespected, and deeply disappointed. What saddened me most is that this happened during Ramadan, a month centered around patience, generosity, hospitality, and good character. In Afghan culture and Islamic ethics, guests are supposed to be treated with dignity and care, especially during iftaar. Halal is not only about the food being permissible. Halal is also about honesty, fairness, respect, and how people are treated. Sadly, this restaurant failed in all of those areas. We will never return, and I cannot recommend this place to anyone looking for respectful service or a welcoming family environment.

I've been wanting to try Chinese takeout places and I find this quite unique because they serve Chinese food in halal style. They also have a prayer room at the right side of the restaurant. While it's very quiet outside, the place looks very elegant and nice inside. I can see that they really have taken good care of it. Probably a place you can socialize with friends in a night outing. Meal portions are very massive, which can probably feed more than one person. Pretty much all the items are good. My only concern is the Orange Chicken because it looses its texture and gets very slimy. In other words, coating falls apart. This would have been one of the best Chinese restaurants I would go for takeouts but they only have 2-3 weeks left before they permanently close it. I recommend supporting this restaurant by visiting and even trying their foods before their closure. Food is really good here.
