    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
    Susan B.

    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

    Amazing food and service. Lunch combos are interesting. Ambiance is also good. Good vegetarian options

    *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.

    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!

    *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.

    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.

    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

It's in a small plaza with two other buildings but there is plenty of space for parking. It wasn't too busy there when I went so parking and seating were very easygoing. The staff is extremely friendly and are pretty attentive when it comes to meat refills and checking in. The meat selections are limited to beef, chicken, and lamb. They do offer other meats such as some seafood and meatballs at the toppings bar though. I really liked the ingredient variety, some things I don't think you'd find at most hotpot places. Personally the thick cut potato noodles are a favorite for me!! They also have churned ice cream and refillable pineapple & peach juice. I believe they usually have milk tea as well, but it was Out of Order when I came in. Would love to try it out next time though hopefully! I think there were a few minor fixes for maintenance but overall pretty satisfied from the experience! I would love to revisit again in the future, very budget friendly AYCE hotpot in the bay area. You really can't find weekend lunch prices anywhere these days, most places charge dinner pricing all weekend. The pricing is very generous, the food variety is great, and the staff are all so friendly and inviting. Also LOVE having individual hot pots, makes your hotpot feel more personal and you don't have to worry about sharing :) Great place to come by with loved ones especially if you want to skip the wait most hotpot places come with and have a quick and easy meal.

For all you can eat it is honestly the best of all the options in my opinion. Cleanliness 11/10: The cleanliness of this place is unmatched by any AYCE restaurant I've eaten at. I had to include a picture of the sauce bar because it is really surprising how there is no splattering around the table. Every surface including the sauce bar and other bars were pristine. AYCE options 10/10: The meat choices are beef, lamb, and chicken. The cuts are a bit lean, but honestly I like that better for ayce since it is a bit cleaner tasting and leaves less oil in the broth. They serve the meats in neat labeled trays which I really like. Wide range of vegetable and other hotpot options that are all ayce, notably king oyster mushroom slices, wood ear mushroom, white fish, beancurd skins, large leaf spinach, bomchoy, a variety of noodles. They also have soft serve ice cream and other deserts and fruit. Sauce bar has a good variety. It has all the options you might find at a place like haidilao. The soy and vinegar are on a separate table in drink dispensers, you might miss it. I recommend for people who are not experienced with hot pot to do a 3:1 ratio of soy sauce and vinegar with a squeeze of lemon as well as some chili, cilantro, green onion, and garlic. The sesame dressing is great on its own with vegetables. Broth 9/10: I recommend spicy or mushroom broth. It is similar to what you would get at a place like haidilao but much less oily, it is still quite spicy and a good amount of oil.

They serve burgers, wraps, kabobs, platters, etc. I scrolled through their food pics online and they seem appealing based on their appearances. So I decided to give it a try. Looks really nice inside and I heard that they don't just serve complimentary waters but teas as well. Not much people surprisingly though. They also have a patio outside and it's not much to view outside besides cars and a business that's been closed and boarded for a while. Maybe at night time, the outdoor experience might be a bit better. Basically I decided to get a Chicken Wrap because why not? They packed a lot of chicken there and the wrap tasted good. Looks well seasoned and the fries looked alright. Looked like it came from a frozen bag of fries, but it's not bad. The wrap at least stands out the most. Some chicken pieces fell so I ended up eating some separately. I would come here again and try other options. I have to at least try their kabobs or platters since they seem to be the main dishes to try.

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.

The beef kebabs were decent but it doesn't explain the $55 they charged for the 2 dishes, definitely not worth the price or the hype, super disappointing overall

It's also a halal restaurant so you'll notice this on the menu since they do not offer alcohol or pork items. One of my favorite discoveries of this restaurant is the chicken teriyaki roll. I feel like more restaurants need to offer this! I loved it! Their hibachi is flavorful and meat is tender. You get the same great flavor of a typical hibachi without having the awkwardness of a chef cooking in front of you or wreaking of food smell on your clothes when you go home. This environment is like a typical restaurant where the food comes from a kitchen in the back so it completely eliminates that. Large groups beware - This restaurant is small so and we witnessed a table of 8-10 get separated since they could not seat them together. I'm sure a reservation ahead of time would have helped this situation. Food is really great quality though and we will definitely be back!
