My husband and I stopped by this weekend to grab something fast. The service was excellent. Everyone was super friendly and polite. I order General Tso chicken and fried rice with only onion. The chicken was delicious I wish it was a little more spicy but regardless it was amazing. The rice had a lot of egg in it that I did not ask for. They egg-rolls were extremely greasy and had a weird texture and taste. It would have been nice to inform them of the disappointment but they don't allow for dine-in after their lunch service. They apparently turn the lights lower and remove the chairs from the dining tables. read more

I was looking for great thai food and I read the reviews here so based on the time of day and limited Thai restaurants open I picked here. I arrived and was a little unsure because it was a Chinese restaurant in a strip mall and I am a Thai food lover. Strike 1. I wanted to eat in, but I got mad at this place for having such limited dine-In Hours (11a-2:30p) because I like to eat my food inside the restaurants while hot and fresh, however.....that wasn't an option due to my late afternoon arrival. Strike 2. So since I was there, I ordered my Thai classic favorites. Drunken noodles, Tom Kha soup, and fried spring rolls. I sat inside and waited as people who called ahead streamed in and out with their takeouts. My food arrived fresh.....i immediately opened my food in the car expecting blah imitation thai food.... but SURPRISE!!! The drunken noodles were A-1! I smelled the soup.....tasted it....KAPOWWW!! My tastebuds were elated! The veggie spring roll was tiny fir the price but it was good. I'll try a regular roll next time. I tell you, they are now at the top of my list in the Raleigh area for Thai food so far! I look forward to returning to Raleigh so that I can include a stop there on my way back home! read more

Recommend this plac2. Good food freshly made and quick.! Works fine for a quick Asian food fix.

The food was delicious. The service was good and the ambience was OK. I really loved the sushi boat. It was beautiful and so tasty.

My husband and I were attempting to try the Jamaican food truck that just so happened to be across the parking lot from Red Pepper. The food truck was out of most of the items we ordered so we decided to try Red Pepper. The reviews were definitely accurate. Plenty of parking but we were able to park right in front of the restaurant. This was on a Wednesday and it wasn't packed at all. The smell inside the restaurant let us know the food was going to be good and we were not disappointed. The food was fresh, they gave us plenty of condiments and the price was reasonable for any good Chinese takeout restaurant. I got the beef and broccoli which was pretty good and my husband ordered the Terrayaki chicken. We would definitely come back and try. Only missed out on one star because I don't remember receiving a fortune cookie. read more

The food is great, staff is friendly. I've had to get takeout the last two times I was there because the dining area was closed, but you can order easily online and the food will be ready quickly. read more

Very good Asian takeout in the middle of a sketchy shopping center. They have such an extensive and unique menu and I would highly recommend trying and supporting this local business. We got an assortment of things to go-green beans, fried fish, Thai basil, Singapore noodles. It was nicely packed and the clerk was super friendly. I was impressed by how much food was packed into the containers. The green beans were okay, not as crispy as I would have liked but still flavorful. The fish was crispy and Thai basil was also pretty good. I would HIGHLY recommend getting the Singapore noodles -I was blown away. I've never had it before and there was a ton of savory flavor and goodness. read more

Es muy buena la comida y el servicio de comida muy excelente la atención excelente el personal excelente

Now a favorite of mine but it wasn't so, the first time I went. N my first visit, I ordered food for my family of 4 and I don't remember what it was but I remember thinking it was super bland. About a year later I decided to give it another try because it is so close to my house, and I found out they accommodate GLUTEN-FREE!! I have now had Mongolian beef, several bouts of Pad See Eew, and today, my absolute new favorite is the Thai Green Curry chicken soup ohhhh my stars that is just the thing I've always wanted. For some reason, I pick up a flavor in there that reminds me of whatever I loved about those creamy chicken ramen packs when I was young, except of course that the quality and nutrition of this soup is far superior. The staff here seem like family and they are sooooo nice and helpful. Really appreciate them for being there and doing what they do. read more

Food is so yummy here. It's right around the corner from my home and I enjoy eating here weekly. I've had the Thai basil chicken, drunken noodles, the dumplings, wonton soup and hot sour soup. Everything has been delicious read more

Great place for Chinese and Thai dishes in Raleigh! They also have an extensive Vegetable & Tofu menu which my friends and I appreciated. I got the Thai Basil Eggplant which had vegetables like eggplant, mushrooms, bell peppers, onions, and basil. I really liked this dish. The eggplant was cooked perfectly and the sauce was amazing. Definitely plan on coming back. read more

Excellent food and good service! No dine in option available, but take out is fairly fast and ours has always been accurate.

I came here because of the Great reviews. This place is not good. The rice is stale and rewarmed. The chicken was stale and old and threw some sauce on it and rewarmed. Tastes like rubber. The beef basically the same. Not fresh at all. Doesn't have much flavor. I don't know why people are raving about this place , they must have never tasted good Asian food. read more

The best Chinese food you can get!!! it's authentic and they provide a lot of food with each order. The people that work there are so nice, and eager to help. read more

Red Pepper is a neighborhood staple offering both traditional dishes such as crispy whole shrimp and popular modern adaptations like sweet and sour chicken, with many choices for varied appetites! The meatless options are plentiful and offer tofu as well as purely vegetable dishes; the Sichuan eggplant is a personal favourite with its silky texture and just-right spicy sauce. Takeout is particularly popular as the restaurant itself is limited in seating but you'll definitely want to call ahead on weekends and holidays because they get very busy! People looking for in-fashion elegance or trend friendly food styles might want to keep moving, but if you want unpretentious, well prepared comfort food, Red Pepper satisfies. read more

Ok, I found it. Finally, a delicious Chinese food restaurant in the Raleigh area!! I've been craving Chinese/Thai food for awhile, so I stopped in here today for a takeout lunch after reading the rave reviews. Based on the Yelp reviews, I ordered the Chicken curry noodle soup and the Thai Basil shrimp. WOW!!!! The sweet heat and freshness of both dishes was a welcome change from the nasty, greasy, mushy Chinese food that is available by my house. First the Chicken curry noodle soup: I LOVED the fact that the broth was separated from the chicken/tofu/fresh homemade noodles/bean sprout/fresh green beans/scallion base of the soup!! You have to use both a fork and a spoon to eat this amazing dish, and I loved the coconut curry broth and those fresh noodles! I've never had a dish like this!! And now the Thai basil shrimp: OMG...they are very generous with the amount of shrimp they give you. The shrimp are not those lame baby salad shrimp, these are the big, tasty shrimp, that soak up all the flavors! I loved the vegetables, the rice was hot and fresh, and that chili fish sauce will leave you craving more!! I have enough leftovers from both dishes for two people. I will definitely be back!! read more

Good food that is reasonably priced. Nice service and good customer experience. I like the soups and appetizers.

Small restaurant not near other places. But there where 5 cars out side at 8pm. I got the hot and sour soup... it was divine. Comparable to the best I have ever tasted. It was served with fried wontons (which I asked for sweet and sour sauce to dip them in..sooo good). The service was excellent and clean I then ordered the Singapore noodles ( excellent price!) took my first bite and my eyes opened wide because of the unexpected deep flavor equivalent only to a 24 hr marinated steak! The warm dish was irresistible and delectable the whole way through. I was in a please haze the whole time.... yes it has won my heart. Perfect blend of pork,eggs, shrimp, sprouts and green onions! How did they make this was it revealed to them in a dream?! Thank you Red Pepper Asian 5 stars on all marks. Also you should shelve your fried wontons with red sweet and sour sauce :) read more

I swear I reviewed them before, but okay. I love Chinese food. I still remember the old school restaurants with shined silver trays of food and just thinking about it makes me hungry. Okay this place doesn't have the silver trays, but the food is so amazing. My two favorite dishes are the Malay Shrimp and the Thai Basil Eggplant. I like it spicy and if you ask they will make your food as spicy as you like. Side note eggplant is not just for Italian food. It is amazing in lots of Asian dishes. If you like eggplant give it a try. The service is good and fast. I get take out but they are usually full for table service especially on the weekends. read more

I love this place, I visit frequently. They owners know me by face and name. They're very polite and on top of their game.

Great food! Good portion size. Chicken dishes are all I've had, each time the chicken is very good!

Does not say anywhere on their website that they are only open for to-go in the evenings and dine-in is only lunch time. Wasted a lot of time getting here and now rushing to find somewhere else open as restaurants in Raleigh close so early, not cool. read more

Great authentic Malaysian / Chinese / Thai restaurant in East Raleigh, not normally the side of town you find these hidden gems. If you go try a dish with their well-known Sambal sauce. I go for that and the Southern Chinese dishes. One of my faves in the Triangle, and trust me, there are more than a handful of options these days as we grow!! read more

Some of the best Asian food around the area. Go to them every time I have the yearning for some authentic Chinese or Thai dishes

Always great food when we come here. I've tried several menu items and they execute every cuisine they prepare very well. From the usual strip mall Chinese sesame chicken to pad see ew to shrimp with Singapore inspired sauces - it's all good. I venture out and try a few things but have enjoyed the shrimp dishes a lot. They are large shrimp and I feel you get a fair amount. Flavors of sauces are always good. Everything comes out hot and delicious. You can order online through their website and I find that easy. You still must pay in store at this time. Covid precautions are solid. Nice flow through to pay then exit. Plastic curtains over the register and prep areas. No indoor searing. I'll be back and often. read more

I ordered two dinners around 8:40 PM not realizing they closed at 9 PM and they waited for me to pick up my food. I just knew we were going to drive up to a closed restaurant. Again, I am so sorry but I am so grateful because I had just worked a rough shift and was starving. read more

Huge fan, they use better ingredients than other surrounding Chinese restaurants. Favorite for take out in the area.

Excellent flavors and cooked to perfection. All the items I ate were delish. Calamari, thai tea, sambal beef, salt and pepper fish read more

Great takeout. I moved here about a month ago, and I've already had it 3 times. Their online ordering and pickup is super convenient, quick, and easy. I love the general tsos, crab rangoons, pork egg rolls, and kung pao chicken. The sesame chicken is not my favorite, but still pretty good. The lunch specials are a great price too! read more

This restaurant is Basic and authentic. Clean and good price. Nothing fancy here. Great place for lunch.

Just finished a meal, and the food was great! Service was fast, almost too fast, and the meal was delicious and the prices were fair. Started out with the wonton soup and then had their spicy Beef pad Thai. The wanton soup and fried wonton strips were great! The Beef Pad Thai was also very good. It's advertised as "spicy" but I thought it was more of a 2 our of 5 for spice. But that's not a bad thing. It added nice flavor to the pad Thai which usually can be a bit bland. If you're looking for something with real kick though this isn't your dish. My only complaint was my soup came and before I had eaten even a full wonton my main course came. The restaurant was fairly empty so the kitchen probably just whipped everything up quick, but I'd have preferred a bit of time in between so I could enjoy the soup and the pad Thai wasn't cold when I got to it. read more

Really good and consistent Chinese food. Staff is always nice and friendly, food is always hot for Togo orders! This is our go to place for Chinese take out! The spring rolls are awesome!! read more

Interesting remake of what used to be Fortune Palace, the owners have opened up a new spot in E. Raleigh called Red Pepper Asian! Located in a very quiet strip plaza, Red Pepper has a nice menu of Chinese and Thai dishes with Malaysian mixed in. I order up paper-wrapped chicken, Singapore rice noodles and Sambal shrimp and string beans. The interior is comfortable and casual, it takes 15 minutes for my food and it's excellent. Tender, flavorful chicken, slightly curried rice noodles and spicy, shrimp with a bit of heat. Overall I found all my dishes pretty authentic and well-done. If I lived in the area I'd certainly come back but due to its location, Red Pepper will be a once in a while treat. But if you're looking for interesting and spicy ethnic eats in E. Raleigh, stop on by... read more

My typical reaction normally would have been "Ah, a restaurant in a crappy shopping center in a lackluster semi-industrial area of Raleigh - so what?" But I would have been dead wrong. Red Pepper Asian does not disappoint - the interior was attractive and intimate, and the service was prompt and courteous. My food was excellent. Had a vegetable spring roll along with Kung Pao shrimp. Both were great (wish the kung pao had been a bit spicier but the peanut sauce was delicious). There also is an authentic Chinese menu on the back that I want to come back and try. Sadly, all the way over in East Raleigh, but if you're in the area, this could easily be the go-to spot for Chinese. Well done! read more

Listen, I know it's hard times. But something that's always gotten to me is the ridiculous price point on dumplings. 2 orders for 16 total comes to 20??? Ok. Probably frozen too. Worth less than a dollar a head anywhere but NC. I don't understand read more

Tucked away in an area far far away...in Raleigh. This is a hidden gem on New Bern Avenue in a quite shopping area. The inside is well decorated and clean. The menu is unique with just the perfect number of items to choose from. The flavors are on point and I mean that with all of my heart. The dishes that I ordered featured "red pepper" flake. The calamari was unique and had a nice crunch. I can't wait to visit Red Pepper Asian again soon! On a side note: Some of the most friendly staff that you will ever meet. read more
