Came here after my family raved about the food and was better happy I gave this place a try! The restaurant was very clean and staff was polite and attentive. We ordered the firecracker shrimp, chicken chilli (dry), egg wrapped fried rice, crispy chilli potatoes and chill garlic noodles. Everything came out within 10 minutes, hot and fresh and was delicious! My personal faves were the firecracker shrimp, chicken chilli and the potatoes! My mom and sister also got these yummy ginger drinks that were pink and refreshing. We will be back! read more

I have tried the restaurant couple of times and they are consistent about the food quality, taste and exceptional service. Pravin is always best with his service and management and all team working with him is very helpful. The atmosphere is perfect with beautiful Ambiance. read more

Went for lunch yesterday. Red flag number one should have been that it was completely empty at lunch time. We were the only ones there. The only thing any of us liked was the chicken egg roll it was good. I had the chilli chicken, it didn't have much flavor and the fried rice was not very good, it was very bland. My wife had the honey chicken and it was very dry. We have decided not to ever go back read more

I was visiting a friend in Folsom and he recommended Red Hot Chilli Pepper. I peeped the reviews and was very skeptical but he said "Trust". One of the best meals I've had. Their chilli chicken and chilli fish were my favorites, that I took some home. I don't really like seafood but the chilli fish super tasty. And we finished with the lava cake. You gotta get the lava cake. Don't let the reviews fool you. RHCP is a must if you are in the Folsom area. I have gotten food from the San Carlos as well location with the same high quality. read more

Read a few mixed reviews about this place and before I write about my experience, let me declare that I am from Kolkata and have been at Red Hot Chilli Pepper over there few times, so I already had high expectations and I was not at all disappointed. I loved the food, the ambience and staff was very friendly. Praveen was very nice and checked on us if we were doing okay at regular intervals. Service was quick and I loved every dish. Specially Chilli fish, Manchurian Chicken and Chicken fried rice reminded me of the food from Kolkata, I missed that taste. Price might seem a bit high but makes up for with quantity and quality, so can't complain. Overall I had a great experience and going back there whenever I feel like eating Chinese food. read more

Red Hot Chilli Pepper - Chicken Manchurian and Chicken Fried Rice - Chinese Near Me - Folsom, California

While I miss my local Inchin's in Folsom, I'm glad to have another Indo-Chinese restaurant for us to try. There are definite similarities and my favorites are the baby corn in chili appetizer and the try cauliflower Manchurian. Still have more to discover and try but it is on the upscale side. Don't forget the coupons in the mailers to save some money! They also have lunch specials. read more

Based on the reviews and a terrible previous Indo-Chinese restaurant in the area, I was wary of eating here. Very happy I took the chance. Garlic noodles and the chili chicken were amazing. Very tasty and spicy. I will definitely go back. This was a pickup order but the restaurant looks nice inside and had a number of people there. I would probably consider eating in next time. The only downside is this place is costly. I feel they have just transported their Bay Area pricing out here. I can live with it because the food is good. Slightly lower prices would probably dramatically increase their business but I assume they know what they are doing. read more

This was our 1st visit to this Chinese restaurant and to our surprise our visit turned out to be a memorable one...nice welcome and as soon as we got seated by the hostess we were offered water and immediately the menu was placed in front of us and was shown where appetizers and main course were drafted. After few minutes the Restaurant Manager, Praveen Singh showed up with a smile and welcomed us traditionally. We started with Hot & Sour soup which was an example of what we are in for a great dinner today. After checking our food taste buds, he suggested us with the variety of options from the menu . The food was ordered. Vegetable coin Manchurian and Calcutta chicken along with Haka noodle. The dishes were tasty and very delicious, it was one of the best Chinese food I have ever had in Sacramento county. We give them 5* food and hospitality. These folks were very quick and very professional. In between the hostess keep checking if we need anything else. I would recommend this restaurant to all of my family and friends to give it a try and become addicted to one of finest Chinese food in Folsom town. Kudos to the chef and management. We will be there soon Red Hot Chilli..... read more

Hubby and I decided to try this out to since it is new to the area. Much to our regret, we'll never go back to this restaurant. There's no wait when we went in at about 6pm on a weekday. We got seated right away. Ambience is casual, suited for families. It looked clean inside. When we sat down, the male server (never got the name), gave us a menu and left us for a few minutes to decide. When he came back, he asked: "Are you ready to order?". To this, we replied: "Yes, please". And then much to our surprise, he said: "Ok let's go!" We found this kinda a rude response to a customer, as if he's impatient in waiting for our order. We just ignored this, and continued to order the following: SWEET CORN SOUP FRIED TOFU WITH VEGETABLES CHICKEN DRUMS OF HEAVEN When the food arrived a few minutes later, and we started to eat, we found all of these three very salty. Even the Sweet Corn soup, was salty! The Vegetables were soggy, and the chicken were more on the tough/chewy side. We didn't want to waste food, so we ordered VEGETABLE FRIED RICE to counter the saltiness of food and hoped that the fried rice would help. But nope, after the fried rice arrived, it too was salty. While trying our best to swallow these food, here's the server coming over and asked us; "How's the food?", and to this, I replied and pointed to the food: "These 3 are very salty (pointing to the three food)". And to our astonishment, the server just looked at us and left. AGAIN! No response! I don't even know if he heard us, or just chose to ignore our response/answer to his question. Now, when we were asked for the bill, the server asked: "Did you like the food?". To which I replied "No. The food was horrible and very salty." Again, no response, he just left our table, came back with the bill, and took our card. Still, no comment. I'm pretty sure he heard me when I responded because my husband even commented about my very "too honest" response. We were given the full bill and paid for it. I guess this restaurant does not really care what their customers feel about their food nor care to improve on both the food or service. Food: 1 Star. Too Salty. There are much more better tasting food option somewhere in Folsom than this. Service : ZERO star. I kid you not, this interaction between us and the server did happen. I even thought and felt as if we were being "PUNK'D"! I suggest the owner train their servers/wait staff better or else, they will lose a lot more customers. Hubby and I eat out a lot, so in my opinion, this is the worst if not one of the worst tasting food I'd eaten in, and the worst service I have ever encountered. Of course, taste is subjective, and service can be different and depends on who's serving you. But for me, overall, a hundred thumbs down read more

The food here is amazing. I give the food and ambiance here 5 stars. Only reason I knocked off a star is due to the prices. $18 for a small bowl of noodles is insane to me. Everything is over priced. Other than the price this place is worthy of 5 star rating. The food is flavorful and fresh. Everything I have tried tasted good. My favorite place for Indian style Chinese food. read more

I came here starving and the service was so fast thankfully! The food was really good and tasted fresh. The place looks super nice and upscale as well. Definitely will come again!! The firecracker chicken was my fav! read more

We ordered the new Zealand lamb and it smelled really bad and it was raw. We asked for a refund but they said we couldn't get a refund. But the thing is we've been here SO many times like more than 10 times and we've gotten refunds so I don't know why we couldn't get one this time instead we got only got 50 percent off and a free thumbs up. We paid 15 dollars for the New Zealand lamb. read more

Ordered a bunch of dishes and was very disappointed with all my dishes. The dry Gobi was soggy and tasted like marshmallow. The fried rice and noodles lacked the smoky flavor. The food was extremely bland and I tried their sauces on the table. Still it was lacking flavor. They charge Bay Area prices but the quality is not sane as Bay Area. read more

The food was good but there was too much corn starch/thickener for my taste. I thought the $10 for plain rice was a bit much. And they charged extra for egg in the fried rice. That said, the food was fresh and the waiter was attentive. The presentation of the egg wrapped rice was pleasing. Maybe more of a dinner place, as it felt expensive for lunch read more

Very happy to have a new Indo-Chinese restaurant in folsom especially after Inchin Bamboo got closed and we were deprived of the Indo Chinese cuisine in the area. The place is very well kept, service is good and one of those good restaurants where you can take your family for a fine dine without it being a home in the wall place like order Indian restaurants. I would rate the food 3.5/5 mainly because some dishes are not properly seasoned like the Hakka noodles was very bland lacking flavor but compliments well with their famous Vegetable Coins (a favorite) The Calcutta chicken was good as well but the Chilli garlic noodles were a lil too spicy. Cons: the prices are too high for the portion sizes. It does not make sense to charge SF rates in Folsom/ any other part of California. The place also opens at 12 & 5.30? which is a lil late for early eaters. It would be very nice if they open at 11.30 and 4.30/5 to allow people place order and have food by 12. Overall a 3.5/5 read more

Terrible experience, ordered a couple of vegetarian appetizers and entrees. But found a chicken piece in our rice. Terrible hygiene. The place already has a smell in the air even though it just opened up recently. read more

Red Hot Chilli Pepper - I ordered a vegetarian Schezwan rice and found a chicken in it. DISGUSTING hygiene. Never setting foot in this restaurant again. - Chinese Near Me - Folsom, California

Amazingly good, VERY fast & portions shared for two makes these our new #1. Best eating on premise as not as good in takeout: best eaten as served. read more

The ambiance was good, and the service was good. I was walking by and decided to give them a try. The name of the place is appropriate. Most everything is spicy. I can't do spicy - my bad. A lot of vegetarian dishes/hot. Lunch special was easily enough for two people. I won't comment directly on any dishes since I didn't belong in this eatery. read more

mini-review of red hot chili pepper (note: this was a to-go order) ordered: szechwan eggplant (extra spicy, $14), szechwan fried rice (veg, mild, $18), indo chino chicken (mild, $22). total plus tip was about $65 so as far as spice levels go, i'd say it lives up to it's name. i had the mild chicken, but it still kicked my butt. wifey thought the eggplant wasn't spicy enough (but she loves spicy). i suspect if you like spicy food, this may be up your alley. the flavors were .... okay. they didn't knock my socks off, but they weren't horrible either. unfortunately, everything was crazy salty. the chicken was okay, a little dry, and drowned in this oil stuff (zoom in on the pic). the eggplant was mushy (we ended up tossing it). the fried rice was okay, but nothing memorable. using basmati (i think?) rice was a nice touch, but the whole dish had this mushy overcooked texture. what's funny is, all that being said, if the prices were more reasonable ($18 for fried rice???), maybe we'd give it another try. as it stands, i highly doubt we'll go back. i hate to diss a new restaurant ... and i hope this doesn't dissuade others from giving it a try. but yeah ... not for us. read more

Red Hot Chilli Pepper - Chinese Near Me - Folsom, California

We tried out this restaurant for the first time & we were disappointed. First, a non-disabled car was in the only accessible spot for me to use the ramp onto the sidewalk (very few accessible spots in this large lot). No fault of the restaurant! The menu was extensive, but tended towards Indian dishes. My wife has gluten allergies & did not find much more than white rice & a vegetarian dish. read more

Super small portions. It says family style but each portion barely feeds 2 people. The price of each portion is very expensive considering the inadequate serving portions. Unfortunately we will not be returning. Flavors were decent. Not very spicy. read more

I had recently went here with a friend for dinner last Thursday. I have the prior experience of visiting this chain in San Mateo and Fremont a few times. However it was a big disappointment. We were seated immediately. We ordered drinks and appetizers to start with. Our wine (Cabarnet) was served chilled. This was the first surprise and I realized the wine was stale. I asked the girl why is the wine served chilled. She want back and changed. And then the food- they served a wrong one. Had to tell them again and it was changed again... Momos (chicken) was pretty good.. And then we ordered Calcutta Chicken as per the recommendation. This also turned out to be a disappointment too. It has lots of soya sauce and that dominated the taste.. Other than the momos, rest of the food was a let down as well as their service. Very low quality food that spoiled my stomach for the next 2 days... And the price of the food is very high compared to the quality of food and service. Tried explaining to the owner on my way out about the wine experience and his response made me realize that he is aware of the wine being stale and still they served it.. I am not going back here again and wont recommend.. not worth the price and time.. read more

Great indo Chinese food! Very clean space and great ambiance. Loved the Manchurian vegetation coins and the Szechwan fried rice

Reckless food service and the worse customer service. I ordered a corn soup with chicken and vegetables. Upon pickup and arriving home for dinner realized that there were no vegetables. When called to ask about it, person doesn't even acknowledge the mistake and not so much as a sorry. Instead she erratically asks me if I want to come back and collect the vegetable soup. Making mistake on order delivery and on top of that, absolutely no regard for customer satisfaction. Very Bad. read more

Been here a couple of now times. Staff is amazing so much fun. I respect the fact that tables are already set as if it was fine dinning atmosphere. The food is amazing and totally unique. But I can't say enough about the attitude of the staff. The food speaks for itself. The staff makes my experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend. Not dropping names because you will meet everyone. read more

This is our favorite Indo-Chinese restaurant in California! I look forward to eating here at least 1-2x times each time I visit my family in Folsom. It's consistently fresh, high-quality, and extremely tasty. We've tried a lot of things on the menu including Hakka Noodle, Chili Garlic Noodle, Manchow Soup, Crispy Lamb, Chili Chicken, Chicken Momos, Calcutta Chicken and more. While some of the entrees can get very heavy on the sauce, it's still very enjoyable and reminds me of the Indo-Chinese back in India. My relatives from New Delhi visited and said the same! Service has always been friendly and pleasant too. Can't want to come back to the restaurant in a few weeks once the holidays hit. read more

Excellent execution of everything I tried during my first visit to RHCP. Heat is your call entirely. Very flexible with options. Hot & Sour(veg) soup is best around. Very good option for a dinner or lunch out. read more

My granddaughters and I had lunch here. The food was exceptional, the service very good. The owner checked on our table also. The food is cooked to order so any changes are easy to accommodate. Great place to eat. We will definitely be back. read more

We have been here twice so far. Both times the service, the quality of the food, the ambiance, and the cleanliness were excellent. The first time, we ordered lemon pepper soup, vegetarian momos, and corn pepper salt. Everything was great, especially the corn pepper salt. In addition, we had the Masala Thums up Soda and the Shikanji drinks. They were both very refreshing. The second time, we had the Shezwan Fried Rice with Chicken and Egg Wrapped Fried Rice. Again, the taste and quality were excellent. The portion size is enough for at least two people. We look forward to visiting again and trying other items on the menu like the American Chopsuey and gravies. read more

We ordered the Chili chicken lunch and the Spicy fish lunch. It came with hot and sour soup and a choice of fried or steamed rice. Hot and sour soup was soy sauce heavy, and that's all that I could really taste. Chicken was dry, fried pieces tossed in more soy sauce. Fish was battered and fried pieces, in an orange colored sauce. The food really lacked flavor and wasn't reminiscent of Indian Chinese food at all. Service was mediocre. The server dropped off a pitcher/bottle of water, but couldn't be bothered with pouring it in any of our glasses. A solid pass! read more
