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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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, 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

Ordered malay chicken sambal curry.. delicious and quick. Reasonable price. Please note only take our service since Covid time. No sit down. Owner said take out seems to work out better for her business 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

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

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

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

Ordered take out. Food is good and reasonably priced. Service was good. Everyone was friendly and polite. Nice atmosphere.

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

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

I've only had delivery but my food was really good. The Mu-Gu-Gai-Pan is my favorite in town.

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

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

Diamond in the rough. Small hole in the wall family run business.... typical for where you find some good Thai food. Had a tough time picking from the list of lunch specials but finally succumbed to carb craving overload. Egg roll was one of the best I've eaten in a while. Thai basil fried rice was loaded with flavors. Service - 3.5/5 Food - 5/5 Ambience - 3/5 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

Our family's favorite dish is the salt & pepper calamari, but we also tend to order the Mongolian beef and the crispy salt & pepper fish fillet as well. I always had wonderful service when ordering from here --before and during COVID. Due to COVID, they are still not offering customers to dine in. Take-out orders are accepted via phone or ordering in person only. They take precautions from marked floorings, cashier barriers, used/sanitized pen cups, etc. read more

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.
