Red pepper Chinese food express

"Don't let the fake reviews fool you. This place is disgusting and the food is equally terrible. I got a cold plate of orange chicken that extremely chewy with fat and bones. Employees behind the counter are rude and carry on conversations in Chinese while you are interacting with them. This place could have potential if they purchased quality and hired someone to cook it properly."

"Awesome food and service. I love this restaurant, the owner of this restaurant is very kind and nice! They provide traditional Chinese food here, and I went there for many times. Highly recommend stir-fried egg with tomatoes and coconut shrimp. If you want to try some typical Chinese food, choose this restaurant!"

"Not sure how people are comparing this to a better version of Panda Express. At least at panda it’s fresh. Food was horrible. (Ended up throwing it out). I could tell it was horrible but I started putting food on the plate and it’s a 1lb minimum. So about 9$ and tax per 1lb."

"Self serve, charged by the weight for a reasonable price. You could get a little bit of everything if you wanted to. Fried rice, chow mein, broccoli beef, orange chicken, Chinese bbq pork, black pepper chicken, fried fish, string beans, popcorn chicken, honey walnut shrimp, fries chicken (sometimes), fried shrimp (sometimes), and other stuff that I haven't gotten yet. Seems like they recently got a new chef. I liked the food so much before but now it is even better. I go almost every day and never get tired of it."

"Americanized Chinese fast food in IV. I would call this a better version of Panda Express. The portion sizes are quite good and you can get a "three plate" for around $12. I'm still not sure what a three plate is vs. a two plate, but I think you should be able to get three sides with a three plate. You can get half/half rice and noodles as a main for each plate. I think this place has a better deal than the Panda Express on campus (UCen) but it's probably not worth coming to IV for lunch. Food: Rice was kind of dry but I thought it was good. Chow mein-esque noodles were okay. Orange chicken was pretty good. Slightly sweet which I liked and the breading wasn't hollow like it can be. Overall worth the money considering it's IV. Price is around the same as Lao Wang and Panda. Last thing to note is that they only take cash and venmo, no credit card. Pictured: Orange chicken, roast chicken, rice and noodle."
