Was at willows for a track day at Thunderhill. Never make it past the gas stations to get dinner when staying over night. Owner did a walk and talk during the event and well, it worked. Got my group to come by and now we are hooked . Our new go to spot. If I wasn't scared of getting a food coma, I would go during lunch. Easy parking. Good selection. Full bar. Great attitude. The Masubis after dinner was a great touch. read more

Net has created an amazing place for the community to enjoy asian fusion food in a place that you world least expect it. The food is always fresh and made to order. Their boba teas are amazing and not too sweet. Definitely worth a try if you're in the area. My favorites are: Steak bites Pad Thai with any protein Drunken Noodles Pho read more

My partner surprised me by taking me to this place while in the area and the food was amazing. Our server was prompt, attentive, and extremely friendly. The food was freshly prepared to order, unique with an excellent flavor profile. The place was clean as was the bathrooms. The only draw back was that it was kind of pricy, but not too bad. read more

Visited August 2nd..see receipt. Before checking out Walmart in Willows for some candles I thought I would try this place. It has an Asian fusion menu with some interesting choices. I ordered the burger with avocado and bacon that came with waffle fries along with the chicken satay appetizer. The burger was cooked nicely and it tasted good. I had them cook the bacon alittle more since I like it alittle crispy. Bun was not warm but still tasted fresh. The chicken satay is always my "go to" at some of my favorite Thai restaurants. The peanut sauce is always included in the meal. The chicken was cooked nicely and was very tasty. I was shocked to see on my bill that they charged me an extra 2.50 for the peanut sauce that is supposed to be included in the price. Thus not 5 stars. The owner offered to refund me the 2.50 ( i declined) but I think it's important to have full transparency on what you are assuming is included per the menu description. The wait staff ( including the bartender) were very pleasant and professional. The inside is clean and bathroom was spotless. They have a full bar and have regular seating and bar seating. They also have happy hour on certain days. I would probably eat here again in the future if I am driving through on highway 5. read more

Asian Fusion and right off the 5- this is definitely the fanciest restaurant in town. Which is great! They have specials during lunch and on Sundays, they have a wide variety of items on their menu so there is something for everyone! I ordered the wings tray to go, which had 20 wings with 4 different Korean inspired sauces and two dipping sauces. You cant customize the order which was okay this time but next time I would rather have no sauces on the wings since some were very spicy. I was disappointed upon picking up my to-go order, that was in a metal take away dish and with a foil lid, wasn't sitting under a heat lamp or tray but was on the desk getting cold even though I thought I was too early in picking it up. I wonder how long it was done for because some of it was cold and not the pipping hot wings I thought I was getting (unless you mean spicy hot! ha) The staff wasn't very friendly but they were busy. I will try them again and update my review from there. read more

Seeing reviews about surprise charges on the bill and subpar service. I can confirm these folks will surprise you with what ends up on the bill compared to what you were anticipating. Graduation meal- they treated you like that because you pissed them off by checking on their competency. They then "matched your energy" to give themselves egotistical relief. That's how these people are but they want to be here making our money in our communities. A 30min/hour break is bs, you're punks. read more

Excellent salad bar. Great lettuce options. Cottage cheese. I had an all meat pizza. - excellent. Great service. read more

Red 88 - Willows - To go. Excellent - Asian Fusion Near Me - Willows, California

I chose this restaurant for my graduation celebration because I've always enjoyed eating here, especially the birria fries. Unfortunately, this visit was a huge disappointment and not the experience I was hoping for on such a special day. Before arriving, my family called ahead to make sure they could accommodate our party of 10 and were told to come at 4:00 PM. Even with that notice, service was slow from the start. It took a while for anyone to take our order, and after our food arrived, our server essentially disappeared. We never received drink refills, and part of my little brother's meal was missing. The food was also disappointing. My meal arrived cold, and the cheese wasn't even melted. I was especially excited for the crab wontons, but they seemed burnt, almost as if they had been refried multiple times, yet somehow they were still cold when served. For a graduation dinner, this was extremely frustrating. We later learned that our server was on break and that the restaurant was short-staffed. While I understand that staffing issues happen, it was disappointing that no one appeared to be covering our table during that time. What made it even more confusing was that, by the time our party arrived, there were only about two other tables occupied in the restaurant. Because of that, the level of service we received was surprising and difficult to understand. With an automatic gratuity already included for large parties, I expected a higher level of service and food quality. Instead, both fell short. What should have been a memorable graduation celebration ended up being a disappointing experience, and I left wishing I had chosen somewhere else read more

We came here because my graduate chose it for her celebration. She loves the birria fries, although she mentioned they weren't quite as good as she remembered. It had been a while since we'd ordered from here. Before arriving, I called to make sure they could accommodate our party of 10. The person I spoke with suggested coming at 4:00 PM, which we did. Unfortunately, service was disappointing from the start. It took about 10 minutes before anyone took our drink order. Since we already had plenty of time to look over the menu, we placed both our drink and food orders at the same time. After our food and drinks arrived, our server essentially disappeared. We never received drink refills, and part of our young child's meal was missing. About 40 minutes later, I had to ask for boxes and the check. Our bill would have been around $300 with a card payment, including an automatic gratuity of over $39. I don't mind paying gratuity, but it's frustrating when the level of service doesn't justify it. When we asked if our server had left for the day, another employee told us he was on a 30-minute to 1-hour break and that they were short-staffed due to call-outs. While I understand staffing challenges happen, I was surprised that no one covered his tables while he was gone. Overall, the food was decent, but the service left a lot to be desired, especially for a large party with an automatic gratuity already included. read more

I was very amazed by the food at this restaurant in this little town. I'm usually skeptical and was skeptical to try Asian food in little small towns but I must say, the food was super delicious and everything was amazing! The server was very attentive and the owner even came out to check on the customers. It's a very cute restaurant and catered to families. I tried the chili oil on my fried noodles and ended up buying some to take home. Although I don't travel up north much since I live in Sacramento but I will definitely stop by again when I head up that way. You will not be disappointed! read more

Love this delightful Asian fusion restaurant in downtown Willows. The vibe is casual the ambience is . The is always friendly and the food is delicious.

If you're looking for something with an Asian twist and you're a foodie, you will love this place! Not to be missed if you make it to downtown Willows! I definitely would write at five stars read more

We were in the middle of no where on our road trip back to Oregon. Looking on trusty Yelp for food while gassing up. This place popped up. It was near by. Glad we stopped in. We were quite surprised by the ambience, and the good food. I think I liked my food a little more than he did. I had the phad kee mo. He had a mango chicken stir fry something. Sounded good, I tried bites. It wasn't bad. We also had some wings that were good. Go chu jang I believe. They also had pumpkin chips. They were good. Interesting, I have never tried them before. I am glad we stopped in. Not only did we get to eat good food, we also got to watch some football. The service was awesome, read more

My 5-stars are reserved for exceptional experiences and this was one of them! Had to come find out what this place was and so we jumped in the car for the 46-min trip (from Chico). The menu made it hard for me to decide what we wanted, but we knew the Thai dry rub wings appetizer was a definite. They were cooked perfectly with a breading that looked heavy but was perfect. The dry rub was citrusy with amazing heat. Entrees were the Mentai Salmon Bowl and the Creamy Miso Burger. Both were excellent. Hubs upgraded to the Drunken birria fires and oh my...they were crazy good! There was so much on the menu I still want to try so I will be back! Loved the inside of this place. read more

In town visiting and wanted something different. Kids loved the burgers. Especially the avo cream cheese burger. Wifey loved the Birra Ramen. I got the pad Thai and Korean ribs. Good but was hoping for a more traditional pad Thai not soy sauce pad Thai. But over all it was quality read more

This place is awesome. We've told so many people about it! Every dish we have tried is unique and delicious. I love how the owner spends time talking to the guests. Their unique blend of Asian and western flavors is something I would not quickly get tired of. My last meal was miso noodles, and it's almost like Alfredo. So good!!! read more

I made a dinner reservation for my 49th anniversary. The person I talked with, said they would make a note about the anniversary. We arrived about 10 minutes before the reservation and we're seated right away. My wife ordered ice tea and I asked for water. After about 10 minutes, we placed our orders for the most expensive thing on the menu, the Rib Eye Steaks. Within 20 minutes, the restaurant had almost filled with customers. That's when I noticed there were only 2 employees working the dining room. Our steaks were served on a dragon shaped, cast iron skilletsitting on a wooden plank. The skillet must have been near 400 degrees by the way the steak was sizzling. It was accompanied by a small portion of Broccoli. We had both ordered the spiced potatoes and they showed up about 5 minutes later. My steak had good flavor but was heavily charred on one side giving it a slightly burnt taste. The potatoes were delicious. It's then that we notice that the meal doesn't come with soup,salad or any kind of bread. After finishing, we sat and talked for a while. The waitress dropped off a couple boxes for leftovers and apologized for being short handed. Shee came back with a payment IPad. She thanked us and said goodbye. We left wondering if we will go back. Two steaks and one ice tea for $147 (including tip). read more

We had a really good meal. Tasty, great service, and a nice atmosphere. Glad to see some nice places in Willows!

Nearly impossible to get the service and quality of food that Net and the crew are putting out in a daily basis at Red88. I am a gigantic fan of the Drunken Noodles and regularly go with that, but their pho, and birria noodz, are also worth making the journey to try. Multiple tv's with sports on all the time, hats hung up from local businesses, and an involved owner that comes and cares about your meal experience, what's not to love!? read more

We were attending a track day at T-Hill and met some friends her for dinner, and oh man, what a score! It was a little crowded, but we didn't wait I long at all. Restaurant is clean and tidy, service was friendly and fast, and the food was delicious! Definitely a gem in the area that we will be visiting again next time we're in the area. read more

Food is great, just had a steak from here!! We have never had anything we didn't like. Always great service. Food comes out very fast. The atmosphere is nice. You have options on seating at the bar, bar side on high tops, or nice tables for family seating. Few tvs on both sides of the building. The only con I have for this place is it is pricey. Will continue to go here when I have the funds for it. read more

Absolutely fantastic place to have some of the best Thai cuisine period! This is our second time here. Our first time we came from the vintage raving event nearby at the Willow racetrack. Today we came in with just me and my girlfriend our meal was perfect. We had 1. Thai Salted caramel shake. Which was a sweet but not too sweet delight 2. The pumpkin Mentai fries. I don't like pumpkin but these were fried to perfection. 3. The crab wontons were delicious. 4. Avocado cheese egg rolls were not too heavy and perfectly crispy. 5. The main dish of Udon stir fry with tofu was a savory delight and perfect. Flavors were in every strand of noodles. 6. The cream brûlée cheesecake is the perfect way to wrap up this fantastic dinner. Overall as close as a perfect meal it can come. The restaurant is casual but cozy. Thank you team Red88 for always delivering. read more

After eating had a quick but very nice conversation woth the Owner / Chef who you could tell had a passion for being there.

The service was prompt, even for a Friday night. I had the birria fried rice which was very tasty, although the beef was a bit dry for my taste. The fried rice serving was generous, more than I could finish. But I did have a good seat to watch the ball game on the big screen above the bar. read more

Recommend! My husband & I stayed the night in Willows for an event in Chico the next day. I looked on my map for restaurants while checking in & saw the usual places. Then the hotel desk clerk told me about Red 88. So good! The Vietnamese noodles with chicken, avocado, smashed peanuts, & sesame seed dressing was so flavorful! My husband had 2 rolls - pork/beef rolls and an avocado & cream cheese roll. He really liked the meat but the avocado/cream cheese wasn't his favorite (he usually prefers something that pops with flavor). I had a Manhattan like drink called "stay local" made with Aperol instead of bitters - yummy. A great meal in a small town. They were very busy (Saturday night) & took a long time to get my husband's dessert (cheesecake). But the staff were really nice and the rest of the meal & drinks came out in a timely manner & hot. We found out they have 2 locations (1 in Davis also). read more

Fresh, great service, delicious food. Kids menu as well, changing table, high chairs, drawing activity.

What a find for the local area. We have been coming up to this part of I-5 for 20 years and had never been here. The food was super creative Asian fusion. I don't recall exactly what we ordered but everyone thoroughly enjoyed the food. The restaurant was well lit and clean. Service was friendly attentive and a pleasure to interact with. Will definitely be back next time we are here. read more

Getting a seat is easy, and the menu has creative options. The atmosphere is relaxed with music, and the bartender is friendly. The birria fries were excellent, and I enjoyed the Hard Thai Tea with 4 Roses bourbon and Bailey's Irish Cream instead of condensed milk. The burger patty of the Creamy Miso Burger was pretty low-quality though, and I was struggling to taste the miso. I'm definitely happy for this addition to Willows and I'm looking forward to returning and trying other menu items! read more
