I work just down the street from red pepper. This has become my favorite and go to spot in Raleigh. I am very big on Asian food and I have yet to find a place better than this. I have tried many things but find myself getting the string bean beef almost every time. It is very well priced for lunch and also comes with an egg roll. Highlights for the menu: String Bean Beef, Hunan beef, Singapore rice noodle, Curry noodle soup. You cannot go wrong with any of these! The food is always very consistent and always received in a timely matter. read more

Service was easy, no complaints there. Singapore rice noodles were good but different , it doesn't have curry, instead it's like a soy sauce. Also the spicy actually isn't spicy at all for the 5 star spice I wanted. Okay portion , two meals was about 30$. A little worth the price but just wishing the curry was incorporated into it . Overall not bad. read more

Had take out, it was really good food and the prices are so reasonable. The servings were large. I'd definitely be back again if I'm in the area read more

I love stopping here to dine in for lunch. I've been coming here for years, the service is always consistent and amazing. Everything is always fresh and hot. This Szechuan shrimp is to die for!!! The hours to dine inside is limited, I think from 11am - 2:30 pm I think, but check before coming. Take out is always an option. Not bad for $14.00 right?? Great value read more

Absolutely excellent--again. Red Pepper Asian continues to deliver. This time I ordered the Kung Pao Chicken dinner with an egg roll, and it was excellent--bold, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. I really like that they use a mix of vegetables beyond the usual carrots and celery, which adds great flavor and texture. I've ordered from here before and it's been great every time. I also really like their Pad See Ew, and this meal was no exception. Pickup was right on time and the staff was friendly, which always makes a difference. Consistently good food and a place I definitely recommend. I'll be back. read more

The food was great and the service was fine as well. The restaurant is located in an area that looks a bit sketch, but, I'm not familiar with the area, so I can't say for certain if the area is safe or unsafe, but, I definitely was paying attention while walking in the area. The food portion was very generous. I think I had leftovers for multiple meals. I recommend this spot if you are in the mood for delicious Asian food. read more

This is my go to Asian restaurant for lunch! Very friendly and loads of flavor. My coworkers still thank me for showing them this awesome spot. read more

Our party of three used take-out service. All three of us confirm that food is excellent esp Thai selections! Restaurant called us 30 mins after our pick up to ask if the spicing on our selections was as ordered. We confirmed that it was fine, but were impressed that they would bother to call us about a possible misunderstanding on their part! read more

The food is always amazing and the customer service is outstanding! Try anything in that menu and you will fall in love!

The best Chinese spot around the triangle. Very easy spot to grab and go and friendly staff. The food is 10/10 I have tried about half the large menu over the years and it's all great. read more

Best Asian food in Raleigh! The owners are fantastic and their service is top notch. Every dish has very flavorful subtleties and they can heat it up exactly to your liking. Cannot say enough good thing! read more

We love it here. We moved away from the area and drive about 40 minutes to take a trip there. They can do so much gluten free. It is no nonsense and good clean food. It's always excellent. Today my basil tofu was a little salty. It's still excellent but it was not as excellent as usual. Still worth the trip as everything else is perfect. I would up taking a chicken chow fun home (gluten free) of course! read more

I got the salt and pepper fish with the fried rice. The portion size for a dinner entree at 15.45 (plus a processing fee??) was tiny. Only 9 pieces of fish about the size of a McDonald's nugget. We usually get a sizeable order from here every holiday and I'll rethink that in the future. Our children enjoyed their sesame chicken and rice. I'm very disappointed with my food. read more

They are only doing To Go orders, which was fine with us, as I wanted to bring home dinner. Ordered before I left work, and everything was ready and waiting for me when I arrived ten minutes later. We could not have been happier with the quality, quantity and taste of everything we ordered. From the crab rangoon, to the Thai Basil Chicken dinner combo that came with fried rice and an egg roll, to the Malay Sambal Chicken and the Black Pepper Shrimp, everything was terrific! And the two of us got three meals out of it all. read more

Excellent service at lunchtime. We were a little late to lunch, and they seated us immediately. Our food came out fast and with a complementary egg roll that tasted amazing & hot. Our drinks were refilled all the time. Definitely would be down to come back for another lunch sometime. The ambiance is nice, a cozy little restaurant with clean tables and chairs. read more

Food is fresh and amazing. The best Asian I found around. Need to get there by 11:30 am, for lunch, or it is packed and there's a line because it's so good. Lunch portions of every large and come with an egg roll. You cannot sit for dinner only take out. But it's worth it. read more

This place has the best egg rolls! I recommended it to someone who didn't love Chinese food and they like it so much!

For Chinese take out this place is a step above the rest. Arguably one of the best take out spots in the triangle. Curry typically is a joke at most Chinese take out places, here it is very good! We order probably once a month. Big fans of red pepper! read more

Food is always piping hot and always delicious. Staff is approachable and accommodating. read more

I have ordered multiple items off of this menu and all have been excellent! The pork LoMein is a favorite of mine as well as the General Tso. I like the spicy heat index read more

This place would get five stars, but they don't offer any delivery service... It's so easy to be accessible on DoorDash or Uber eats and yet they choose not to so unfortunately because I get out of work so late they lose a lot of business off of me because I would eat their way more often if it was available... obviously I hope management sees this and makes it accessible because they're missing out on a huge market of people read more

Always good food! Crispy pan fried noodles is my favorite! Great flavors and never overcooked vegetables.

Awesome beef chow fun and won ton soup. Price for the food was very reasonable too. Can't wait to go back

Food was excellent the Singapore rice noodle was fantastic. The fried rice and the egg roll was awesome We will be back! read more

Great food. I always do a takeout and very happy with it. I mostly order Thai basil chicken with hot and sour soup.. They are so good that they bring it out to my van. read more

Service was great! It's takeout only and they had food ready when promised. BUT, the food was just okay, not what I was expecting for such a high rated place. Food was good but it was "lack luster" - what I would expect from a McDonalds vs a nice burger joint. read more

I can't believe I just discovered this place! Ordered takeout on a whim on a drive home and got the tofu pad see ew. I actually asked for pad kee mao/drunken noodles but when I looked at the receipt and their menu, I think they just have pad see ew. They honestly taste very similar if not the same to me anyway so I did not mind. It was overall delicious, my total was $14 and change including tax. It was very slightly on the blander side but I'm not sure if it's because it's pad see ew or if that's how it usually is. I would get it again but I'd love to come back to try their other dishes because their other items looks like your typical Chinese takeout which I love! Really excited to come back! They only do take out for now. read more

Great food, service and prices. Egg roll was home made and hot and sour soup was top notch.

Ever since I moved to the RDU area a few months ago, I've been looking for a go-to Chinese takeout spot. I had heard about Red Pepper from a friend from work. She told me she had had different things from them in the past and enjoyed them all. Different strokes for different folks ‍ I finally tried them for myself. I ordered the orange chicken meal which came with white rice, and an additional side of broccoli. Didn't need the broccoli since there were a few pieces included with the entree itself. For the meal and the SIDE of broccoli my total was $18.35 I don't think I've ever in my life paid that much for a single meal for Chinese takeout ‍ The price I could get past if the food was actually good. It wasn't. Weirdly enough it seemed to have no flavor. When ordering online, it gave the options for different levels of spice, ranging from "not spicy" to "extra hot." I opted for the "not spicy", but still where's the flavor itself?! It had the flavor of orange peels, but that's about it. Had to cover it with duck and soy sauce to get it to taste like something. They may have other items on the menu that are worth trying, but after my experience, I'm hesitant to try anything else ‍ read more

Good food fast. Clean restaurant , friendly staff, and efficient and not too hard on the pocketbook. We got takeout. Food was good, we ordered teriyaki chicken, crab Rangoon, and steamed dumplings. Definitely would order again! read more

The food is ALWAYS delicious and one of the best Hot & Sour soups I've ever had. I would like them to be open to dine-in during evening hours. That's the only reason for the four stars. read more

The reviews are accurate. Red Pepper Asian is located in a strip mall. There was plenty of parking. First thing I noticed was the amazing smell coming from inside. Another lady walking by stopped and commented about how she'll be checking it out later based on the smell alone. Upon entering we noticed a sign saying dine in is only for lunch (11:00 - 2:30) if I'm not mistaken. We wanted to eat in but because the reviews were so good we chanced take out, and I'm glad we did. The space is very clean and well decorated. The space is not huge but didn't feel cramped. My absolute favorite thing about my visit was the picture wall to the right of the register which shows exactly what each dish looks like. I am surprised more restaurants do not do this, its so helpful to see what your food will look like before ordering. The gentleman who took our order was very nice. The food took about 10-15 minutes to get ready. We ordered the triple delight, hot and sour soup, pan fried dumplings, and shrimp fried rice. All delicious. The triple delight was flavorful and had lots of meat and veggies (broccoli, mushrooms, and carrots). The pork fried dumplings were fried perfectly and came with the usual dumpling sauce. The fried rice wasn't overly greasy and had plenty of shrimp (also had onion, carrots, and peas). I'd highly recommend you come here if looking for good Chinese food in the area. Looking forward to dining in for lunch in the future. read more

I was passing through the area around lunchtime and pulled up the trusty Yelp app to see what good Chinese takeout places were nearby. First up was RPA with almost 5 stars and that was all I needed to see. I ordered the usual Hunan Chicken with steamed rice and egg roll. Ordering was simple and the lunch combo already had options to change rice choices and add soup or egg roll. Easy Peasy! The order was ready faster than they estimated and I just took a few hot sauce packets just in case. I opened up the bowl to find a party that would soon take place in my mouth. Lots of chicken slices and plenty of broccoli and mushrooms and carrots. The sauce had a bit of kick to it as I love! The egg roll was flaky and flavorful. You can tell they take care of their fry oil regularly. Excellent food and they have earned their reputation. They're among the tops I've had among shopping center Chinese places and I'll definitely be b read more

I am so happy we read these reviews, or we would have missed out! I have lived in the Triangle for 4 years now and this is hands-down the best Chinese I've had here. It doesn't look like much in a little strip mall, but wow do they deliver. We had the chicken pad thai, fried rice, and a dish with chicken, beef, and shrimp. We left zero crumbs. I'm so happy we found our new go-to! read more

Soooo disappointed. This was our favorite place for Chinese, but the lady there now has become so rude! We tried one last time to see if maybe shes been having bad days. Nope! Same attitude and our glasses stayed empty. Twice my wife had to goto counter to get refills and each time the lady had an attitude. We asked to add more food to our order and once again an attitude! She does realize without customers she has no job???? Another couple came in wanted to eat in she said No we stop at 2:30 it was maybe 2:35. The man comes out and says would you like to dine in- the customer said she said no. He said oh ok Just ridiculous how rude this lady has gotten! Too many other places to eat Chinese to deal with that! read more

Love their noodle soups and spring rolls. Staff helpful with description of dish. Clean and welcoming Environment.
