Chinese Cuisine
The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.
Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.
There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.

We are in love with Red House. Period. Anyone from New York will understand why. Just good, no-nonsense Chinese. Authentic dishes and dishes that appeal to the masses. We would dine here everyday if we could - definitely one of the best Chinese restaurant in the North Scottsdale area - if not in AZ. And reasonable given its location. My fiance and I both say we are extremely lucky to have found each other - since we prefer Asian cuisine over anything! (Sometimes I feel like he's actually the Asian and I'm the Caucasian!) Our standard meal consists of 1 Eggroll for the fiance (super super good - New York style ALL the way). Maybe the Szechwan appetizer sampler depending on whether it's on special (comes with chicken skewers, fried shrimp, an eggroll - the chicken skewers are amazing - you can order these separately as well). Seafood Hot and Sour soup is usually the choice (good amount of shrimp, scallops, they even throw in Kamaboko (in Japanese - or fish cake). Not a lot of places do that. My only complaint about the soup is sometimes it's not enough sour for me, or spice - but still very good. Considering I basically have no taste for spice - I'm sure to the average diner it would be plenty spicy. And then onto the mains. No matter what our standard is the House Chow Mai Fun. FIRST of all - I haven't seen Chow Mai Fun since I lived in New York - no one that I know of makes it here. House Chow Mai Fun is a dish that consists of Mai Fun noodles (very skinny rice noodles - the same ones that are used in Singapore Noodles) without the curry sauce. The noodles are stir fried in a light sauce with veggies, and meats/seafood. Soo amazing! Trust me - I love Chow Fun (wide flat noodles) but this is such a light yet flavor full dish (where Chow Fun can be heavy with the wide noodles and thick brown sauce). Then our second dish is either their House Tofu or Triple Delight. We've also had their spicy eggplant which is amazing! Also sampled the Shrimp with Walnuts - generous portions of shrimp, maybe just a little too much of the mayo sauce - but still yummy! The only dish I've had that seemed not up to par with their others the House Pan Fried Noodles (which can also be called Chow Mein Hong Kong Style). The noodles lack the flavor and consistency than those of other restaurants, and the sauce is too much like the sauce they use on their tofu. It should be slightly different but it literally tastes like the same dish (just one is served with noodles). Cost wise Red House is more than reasonable! Our normal Eggroll, Seafood Hot and Sour Soup, Chow Mai Fun and whatever our second entree and a large order of rice (see below) ends up being about $33.00. Very generous portions! Why the four stars? Two reasons. One: the restaurant itself is VERY small. Although normally there is ample seating, when it does get busy the place can feel a bit claustrophobic. The service is so great though - everyone is super nice and accommodating (and super super hard working!) We normally take out, but there are some occasions we just need to sit, relax, and have our food come out piping hot from the kitchen! The second reason for the four stars is a small one. The meals only come with a small white rice, so we have to order a large. And they charge you for the larger order. Cost wise, it's not that much more, but still - most Chinese restaurants will supply you with all the white rice you need. But seriously - such a small price to pay for excellent Chinese!! One other note - they do have lunch specials for very cheap so make sure to check them out!

I am from the NYC area and miss good city Chinese food. This is as close as you can get to actual NYC style Chinese food. I highly recommend it.
(5)Mihir P.
Good food, well priced, and good customer service. I often use them for catering. They are on time and correct on the order!
(4)Jonathan H.
Not a place to go for the atmosphere, but the food was excellent. Had the spicy beef (extra spicy)w/ brown rice an it was very tasty. The onions and peppers were well cooked. I normally don't like Diet Pepsi, but there's was really good. Only bad was the fried wontons (Chinese chips and salsa)-a bit stale.
(4)Roland W.
To start with this isn't a Red House. It's a small mainly takeout Chinese restaurant next to Fry's Marketplace on the Northwest corner of Via Linda and 90th in North Scottsdale. That's where the misconceptions end. The food is excellent, the service is good and it's very busy. My partner and I had heard about Red House, but the first time we saw it was a Saturday night and we wanted something more formal. Tonight we were looking for something more casual and this place hit the spot. We started with steamed dumplings, which while they could have been slightly better the took only a few minutes to arrive. Much different than Tottie's Asian Fusion where we had to wait 45 minutes. (earlier review). I had the Orange Chicken and my partner had the Pepper Steak with Onion. Both tasted great. This is the first time since I've been in Arizona that I've been able to get Orange Chicken with broccoli in it, like I'm used to having it in Chicago. So many places only give you the deep fried chicken in the sauce--no vegetables. The broccoli was cooked to perfection, nice and crispy. Unbelievably the few tables they had were full with people eating in and this was on a Thursday night. Plus they had a steady stream carryout customers. Make sure you try Red House!
(5)Simone R.
Red House is a small restaurant walk in casual with big flavor. A friend and I went for lunch to try the place out and we were not disappointed. The food was delicious, the serving sizes were generous and the overall restaurant and experience was great.
(4)WMT W.
I told myself no more five stars but I love this place. Great lunch deals. The Amazing Chicken really is
(5)Crash G.
Listen people. This place is an absolute GEM. Amazing customer service. EXTREMELY quick. INSANE quality. I very rarely try new places...let alone Asian cuisine, but this place absolutely rocks. Go check it out!!
(5)Kansas G.
So I was craving a quick Chinese lunch and ended up trying out a new spot. Pretty good wonton soup and tasty fried rice, but the sweet and sour pork was a big mistake. I should have check out yelp first. Next time I'll try the orange chicken.
(3)Christy J.
I went here for the first time today to pick up lunch. I ordered the lunch special Kung Pao chicken with brown rice and wonton soup. The soup is bland and boring. Now onto the star of the show - the chicken. The first bite was much like the soup: bland. Too bad I'm actually hungry for lunch - I have to eat more so I don't starve. I get a few bites into this tasteless dish of overcooked carrots, celery, peanuts, canned mushrooms and baby corn and cut into one of the pieces of chicken to find that it's not even real chicken breast like advertised! I'm so disgusted that I have to spit my bite out and rinse. This so called chicken breast is no better than the ground chicken and filler product that McDonald's serves. I even asked the person that took my phone order if it was chicken breast and she confirmed. No wonder the prices are so low. I will NEVER be back. I should have gone with my original thought to get Swaddee Thai. The chicken breast they serve is actually just sliced up chicken breast - no disguises.
(1)Isaac K.
A few things that set this place apart from other Chinese restaurants include: 1. sweeter sauces in general 2. chicken dishes seem to be very juicy and I would assume they use better quality meat. 3. Very clean. Because of #2 I gave it the 4th star. I have never been disappointed. There is not a lot of tables here so you may have to get it "to go" over lunch.

Based on the reviews and what the common thread running through the reviews was, it was NY chinese food, I was expecting something different. The owners may be from Flushing, but this food is not what I consider NYC chinese food. There are no ducks in the window, no feet in the soup, no pork buns. This is Queens, Little Neck, Massapequa strip mall chinese food. This is New Brunswick / South Plainfield, NJ chinese food. The only thing missing was the lighted picture board of the menu. It's good, it's not great. I have had better. In fact, I hate to complement anything from Wisconsin (dreadful place) but Tom's Red Pepper in Middleton, WI is actually a better version of what the other yelpers are describing as east coast chinese. The won-tons were stale. The sweet and sour sauce a bit thin. The chicken was cut rather small although it was white. I was disappointed to see it was not served with the traditional chunks of green pepper and pineapple. The fried rice was good, but very greasy and too much soy sauce. Chloe J said in her review that it had a distinctive flavor? There is nothing distinctive about onions, grease and soy sauce. The won-ton soup was slightly on the bland side. The food is okay and if someone was looking for adequate chinese, a cut above the heavily sugared and sauced up P F Chang's, I would recommend Red House. Could it be relocated to New Jersey and compete in that market? No. They lost their Flushing edge, they have been west too long.

Good fried rice
(4)Nick P.
Reminded me of New York. I loved it and the food was very good. Definitely going back in the future.
(4)M.J. S.
Don't be fooled by the low-key look of this place, everything here is delicious! Thanks to Georgie M. for pointing out the Szechuan dumplings, they were fabulous. The best NY-style egg rolls in town, and very generous portions for the price, which is lower than all of the other popular Chinese places in Scottsdale. Give this place a try, you won't be disappointed!
(4)Alec P.
I don't have much basis for the restaurant, or service inside as I've always set up for take-out. The orange chicken is flavorful and delicious. The egg rolls are crunchy, greasy, and excellent. It makes me feel like I'm eating take-out from New York. Excellent place, I've yet to have anything on the menu that's been a disappointment.
(4)Steve D.
"NY Style Chinese Cuisine?" I'm from the Northeast, and trust me, this is a designation you'll find only in AZ (I'll never understand this state's obsession with NYC...). Anyhow, I tried this place for one reason, and one reason alone: General Tso's chicken. For some reason, this item is left off 99% of the Chinese menu's in the valley. Price: To my surprise, my L30 Lunch special came out to $6.XX and included a generous portion of chicken, mixed veggies, rice, and a soda. Even McDonald's is more expensive than this place! Quality: It's good, but not great. They're a bit heavy on the sauce (what Chinese place isnt?) and the chicken's gratuitously breaded. Regardless, the sauce was flavorful and the rice was, well, rice. Its not "knock your socks off amazing" but how many places truly are at this price? Experience: Considering this was a quick stop for lunch, it needed to be quick. Called ahead and my order was ready when I got there. Guy behind the counter gave me a bag with a smile, which is all I could ask for. In a nutshell: I'll be back! Solid lunch at a VERY reasonable price.
(4)Christina G.
The only reason this place got two stars was because I was able to swallow the food. Beyond that, don't get your hopes up! There was a total of 5 of us in the party. The space is not very big, since we took up most of the seating available. I would recommend getting take out. I ordered Sesame Chicken and my friend ordered Orange chicken. I think the only difference our food was that I had sesame seeds on top. The food was bland and not very flavorful. I also had egg drop soup, which was like drinking hot water. The pork fried rice was probably the best part of my meal. The wait staff was friendly and kind. Quick on service. It was fair priced.
(2)Jenteel P.
Decent Chinese food in Scottsdale. A bit pricey for the portions, but better than most Chinese I've experienced out here. I dig the availability of brown rice. This place will do for takeout.
(3)Chloe J.
I have now had Red House 3 times and I think I can safely say that I have finally found a LEGIT chinese place in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area. Everything I have had so far there is very good and very quality chinese. I've had the szcheun shrimp, sesame chicken, and the triple delight. All were amazing. Their fried rice is so good. It has this distinct flavor... I dont know what it is but its goooood. It is a little more expensive than other quick-serve chinese places but its worth it! Id rather pay more than eat this other garbage chinese places Ive been to in Scottsdale. This will now be my go-to place for chinese takeout.
(5)Claire J.
This is the closest to East Coast Chinese takeout that I can find in Scottsdale. Best food & better service. Their General Tso's Chicken is off the hook.
(5)Doug T.
Loved it. Good NY style Chinese. The Ma La Lamb is legendary.
(5)Brian B.
Love the orange chicken, without the onion. Taste weird the next day. Comes with house fried rice. I'm from Chicago and SO miss the authentic food. Red house has reunited a few of those taste buds and go there often for more.
(5)Yvonne G.
Singapore Rice Noodles with all its curry goodness. Asked for spicy, got spicy. Lots of chicken, pork AND shrimp!!! I think I like this place again!!!!
(5)A M.
Several years ago I would frequent Red House almost weekly for lunch.. Dine in or take out as it was close to my work location. At that time, it was good. It seemed fresh and hot to order. I was sad to visit today to find the opposite. I walked in to dine and there were no lights on, the restaurant was dirty.. Ceiling leak stains, dust from the ceiling, etc. The service was not friendly and the food was far from fresh. The only items that were "fresh" were those that were hot from coming out of the deep fryer. Needless to say, I will not be returning..
(1)Yuko H.
A friend originally from East Coast recommended this restaurant as the best Chinese in Scottsdale, and it is what he is used to eat in east coast. So far I tried chicken Egg Foo Young, fried rice, and orange chicken. Egg Foo Young is a real Egg Foo Young. I realized what I've been eating around here was Egg Foo Youngish. Not a real one like they make here. Fried rice and orange chicken was really good as well. Very fast service, located on my way home form work, very reasonable price. I can see myself becoming a regular here.
(4)Melissa L.
Great Chinese food, especially for takeout. They were fast and efficient. The chicken chop suey was awesome, full of big pieces of tender chicken!
(4)Faridah S.
I was craving Chinese food in Scottsdale, and stumbled across mention of this place as genuine N.Y. Style Chinese. Having been raised on the east coast, I grew up eating great ethnic food in general. I love Chinese food, and haven't found great Chinese here in Scottsdale since my favorite closed back in 2001. Reading the various reviews, I noticed that while some of their ratings were pretty high on various review sites, there appeared to be some inconsistency in the diners' experiences. I was wanting good Chinese enough that I decided to take my chances and perhaps find my new favorite Chinese place. I decided to eat in since it was about 15 minutes from home for me, so that I could enjoy the food right out of the kitchen, piping hot. When I arrived there were no diners seated in the restaurant, so no problem with getting a table. It is a small place, with no real ambience, but that didn't really matter - I was there for the food. As there appeared to be no table service, I approached the counter and ordered Hot & Sour soup, which many reviewers had raved about, the House Egg Foo Young which had also gotten good feedback, and substituted fried rice for white rice for only a dollar extra. I also requested that broccoli be added to the Egg Foo Young. The young lady working the counter was perfectly friendly and helped me make the adjustments I wanted. I sat down and watched as a steady stream of people came in to pick up take-out orders. Most were apparently regulars which I took as a good sign. My Hot & Sour soup came out very quickly, along with crispy Won Ton chips with a sweet dipping sauce. My soup was good, but not over the top. It was bit thinner than I anticipated, and I can't say it was the best Hot & Sour soup I have ever had. For the price, it was just fine however. Just not as much flavor as I had anticipated from reading the reviews. My Egg Foo Young came out with perfect timing just as I pushed my soup bowl away. It was a HUGE order, and looked perfect. Brown gravy and Fried Rice were served along side. The Fried rice looked delicious, and I started with that because the Egg Foo Young was still extremely hot. I would have their Fried Rice again in a heartbeat. They were generous with the bean sprouts and green onions, and there was a nice amount of broccoli stir fried in. It also had peas, onions and carrots. The rice was nicely cooked too. It did need a bid of soy sauce but that was easy to fix. When the Egg Foo Young cooled enough for me to eat it, regardless of how wonderful it looked, it was a little bid heavy. It is still the best Egg Foo Young I've had in Arizona. Both the Egg Foo Young and the brown gravy needed soy sauce to perk them up. The Egg Foo Young was LOADED with chicken, shrimp, chicken, pork and veggies, and the oiliness of the patties was offset by how thick and loaded with ingredients each patty was. The oil did not saturate them. Although is wasn't quite what I had expected, I would order it again. If I were back on the east coast, I would have rated this 3 stars. I gave it 4 because it was superior to what I've had here in Arizona over the 16 years I've been here. As I ate, the steady stream of take-out and delivery orders continued. No one appeared to have to wait for their food any longer than it took to pay for it. I want to return to try some of the other dishes on the menu. Perhaps tonight just wasn't their best night, but it was good enough. They only deliver within 5 miles of the restaurant. I had planned to have it delivered, but I was 2 miles too far away.

Red House is THE BEST CHINESE FOOD in Scottsdale and Arizona! None compare to Red House. We love them! They are consistantly good through the many years we've been taking food out at least once a week. They also deliver. You can add 'extras' to your orders to customize (like extra chicken, pork, beef or whatever for $1 or $2 if you'd like. The vegetables in all the dishes we've ordered are FRESH, crunchy and so flavorful there's no wondering what it is. Wonderful egg drop soup, awesome homemade crunchy fried noodles that come with many dishes or you can buy a small bags for 50 cents. The shredded pork dishes are especially delicious, I think anyone will be very happy with whatever they order. All of the cooks (chefs) are Chinese and the help at the counter are friendly also. It's very Authentic, as this is American-Chinese style food.
(5)J B.
Came for takeout on Xmas, that was a mistake, place was packed and a disaster. Told us 45 minutes but took about 1 hr 15. Having said that and giving them the benefit of the doubt knowing "how good can it be with it so busy" it was pretty good. Would go again. It's a bit sauce heavy tho so next time will order easy on it.
(3)Marc R.
Good stuff for a mostly take out Chinese place for in Scottsdale. New York style Chinese food with all the standard offerings. Lunch specials come with choose of rice plus soup or soda for under $6. Portions are satisfactory. The hot and sour soup is better than average for Scottsdale. Everything was fresh and the service was very quick. Not really a sit down restaurant, but what seating there is is comfortable. I recommend Red House for value and quality Chinese food in north Scottsdale.
(3)Rejoice O.
Food is decent, but EVERY time I've ordered from them, they get something from my order wrong. This time, I ordered my food at 9:30pm...and they just rang my doorbell 5 minutes before 11pm after telling me 30-45 mins! Really?! Their service sucks!! Ok, they comped the meal, so that was nice!
(2)P B.
Terrible terrible terrible. Horrible inedible food. Delivery takes over an hour, the food & customer service is disgusting. DO NOT EAT HERE.
(1)Vincent F.
The food was ok but it did not shout out at me. The Pork Mai fun noodle was bland and I had to doctor it up with curry. Most places have it in the dish, Perhaps they forgot to add it. The sweet sour chicken had no vegetables like most places. Only the red color sweet sauce and pieces of breaded chicken pieces. I have eaten at other Chinese restaurants and this lacking a lot compared to others
(3)Chi D.
We love this place. We always do delivery and they have a good system here. Food usually takes about 45 minutes to get to our house but that's no big deal. Red House invested in a mobile credit card machine, which is awesome. You don't have to provide your card info over the phone. BIG PLUS! So you pay when the food is delivered. Now the food: it's great! My fiancé and his friends really like their orange chicken. I love their special Chow Fun and Lo Mein. And one more item that cannot be forgotten, the Crab Rangoon. they are surprising good. We always get them too! So, whenever we don't feel like going out or cooking, Red House is one of the top choices.
(4)Leanna A.
I feel like an updated review for Red House is necessary. My last review was a tad harsh, considering that the food was amazing, but the service was lackluster. I ordered a delivery lunch from Red House today, after looking at Georgie M.'s picture of the General Tso's chicken- which looked amazing! Let me just start out by saying that it is very difficult to find decent Chinese in the Valley, let alone decent Chinese that delivers. I was happy to find out that Red House, a great local Chinese joint, delivers for a low delivery fee of $1.00 and a minimum delivery requirement of only $15.00. Most other places charge ridiculous fees and minimum orders that it makes it unreasonable to order delivery Chinese. Anyhow. Now that that's covered.. I ended up ordering quite a bit of food, but figured I'd be able to take some home for everyone else. My order consisted of two lunch specials: the Chicken Lo Mein (take home) and the General Tso's Chicken for me both with wonton soup, an order of the crab rangoons, and the chicken chow fun. The woman on the phone told me it would be about 45 minutes, and it was just that, which was no problem. If you want to pay by card for delivery, you also pay when the delivery person comes (with a handheld credit card processor). Something I like much more than reading my credit card information over the phone. Something I always state in any review that involves delivery is the appearance and cleanliness of the delivery driver. Not only is this important, but it reflects the business as a whole. I was pleased to find out that my delivery driver was well groomed and presentable. All of the items in my order were present, and nothing was incorrect. The General Tso's Chicken was a perfect balance of chicken and batter, with enough sauce to make the dish taste good, but not swimming in some syrupy concoction- honestly, the best General Tso's I've had in the Valley. The crab rangoons were also very noteworthy. A nice, plump amount of cream cheese and crab mixture wrapped in a nice crispy wonton wrapper. Definitely worth the $4.25 for 6 of them! I did not open the lo mein lunch special, as it was one of the dishes I was taking home, but it smelled wonderful and included a nice portion of noodles and rice (we selected the fried rice option). I tried a bite of the chow fun, which is my favorite of all Am-Chinese dishes, and it never fails to impress from Red House. A nice balance of chicken, veggies, and flat noodles, not overwhelmed by sauce or oil. A definite must-try. Yes, the lunch special portions are served in small to-go bowls, but it is a lunch special, not a buffet. Don't expect mounds and mounds of food for $5-$7. They are lunch portions, and served as such- which are still very filling. The cost, for all four items after the tax and delivery fee was only $27.25, which in my opinion is a Slammin' Deal, especially when you get good quality food. As for in-house visits, I don't know if I'll be making any more, but I will definitely order delivery again!
(4)Anthony M.
Sad day. This used to be my favorite spot in town. I ordered my old favorite the "gourmet special" orange beef. Not what it was just a few months ago. It was soggy and very unpleasant. When I called to talk with a manager I was told that I needed to take back the food if I didn't like it. As I live across town I just have to eat the $20. Sad, sad day.
(1)Rachel W.
Not really sure where the whole "New York" Chinese thing comes from, because Red Dragon had the most mediocre, flavorless Chinese I've ever eaten. Their lo mein was greasy, and the chicken and broccoli and cashew chicken had NO flavor. The wonton soup wasn't bad, but the wontons were mushy and overcooked. The prices are really cheap compared to other Chinese places in the area, which seems to be indicative of the quality of their food. Jade Palace, albeit more expensive than Red Dragon, is a mile away and 150% better. I don't think I'll be back.
(2)Heather C.
Red House had been on my list for a while, but for some reason, I thought it was more of a sit-down restaurant. Although there are tables, there aren't many, and the place is quite warm in the summer months. I would prefer it for take-out, especially since I am not a fan of the overhead television tuned to a sporting channel. I thought my food was A-okay, but not great. I had cashew chicken which did have plenty of cashews, but it also had some globs of gelatinized "sauce." I'm not sure if this was some kind of base that didn't get fully incorporated or it was made ahead and not reheated to a consistent temp. In any case, it was fine, but not the best. It was fast, and we did have good service, and I would definitely consider for take-out again.
(3)M. M. M.
Best Chinese food in Arizona. Pork fried rice might be the best I've ever had. Really good lunch prices too. I eat here about twice a month for their lunch specials. Good sized portions too. Their hot n sour soup is delicious. My favorite is their beef with green beens. I also like their BBQ pork, and pepper steak. I've been coming here for over 3-4 years and will continue to come back.
(5)Tyger L.
The appetizer wontons are fresh, crunchy, meaty and delicious! The hot & sour soup is hot AND sour (and very tasty). I ordered the sesame chicken and requested extra crispy...but it wasn't (maybe they didn't see where I wrote that request in on GrubHub). It was still very good though. I think I was expecting the sesame chicken to resemble the yummy pictures of orange chicken, but it didn't look anything like it. The bbq pork fried rice that accompanies it is scrumptious and love that they put a couple of pieces of steamed broccoli on top. I will definitely order from here again (especially for the wontons!) Bonus points for the delivery being done really quickly (estimate of 1 hour turned out to actually only be about 30 minutes).
(3)Ahana M.
So i am not familiar with what it means to have " authentic ny chinese" as this place advertised but i enjoyed the food here. Me and my friends were the only people seated in this very tiny restaurant on a friday night so very obviously this is a take out place. In terms of food, i was not disappointed. The best dishes were 'amazing chicken' ( how can you not giggle while ordering this?) and mongolian chicken. The lo mein, garlic shrimp and dragon phoenix are average. The service was courteous. Might be back for take but only when the next craving hits.
(3)Jim S.
I had the hot and sour soup, and the kung pao beef delivered to my hotel room. Both were very good! I will order from RedHouse again during my stay. I have pretty high standards for Asian food, and RedHouse did not disappoint!
(4)G C.
Let me first say, I have been here many times and this was one of my favorite places for Chinese in the valley, but recent changes to the staff, serving portions and quality of food have made me re-evaluate my opinion of this place. I went in today during the lunch hours, having done so many times in the past. The restaurant was empty of customers. I placed a lunch menu order for carry-out. I chose the Kung Pao Shrimp (with Soup and Fried Rice). I ordered a separate pork egg roll as they usually are quite tasty here. When the boy was done taking my order, he sat back down at one of the tables and started to resume pulling the ends off snow peas, which he was doing before I walked in. He never washed his hands before handing the food either. Later, one of the kitchen staff came out front and started to talk to him in Chinese with my order ticket in his hand. He then came to where I was sitting and informed me that he had neglected to charge me for the egg roll, but all were on the ticket. I thought, sounds like that is your problem, not mine, since it was one the ticket that I had paid for. I went ahead and paid the extra $1.46 for the egg roll. When my meal was ready to go, looked in the bag. I had a bowl in the bag with my meal. In the past, there was a Styrofoam container with rice and entrée separated. Not so anymore. I asked why did I have a bowl, they explained they changed the way they packaged the meals now, but it was the same portion. Ummm.. NOT the same portion at all. I was still upset from the egg roll debacle and now I was getting less for the same price. When I got home, I found they did not even bother to provide the sweet and sour dipping sauce for the egg role. Glad I grabbed a couple of duck sauce packs before I left. I started to eat the Dish I ordered and it was bland. No heat for a Kung Pao dish. The Wonton soup was also bland with no scallions and strips of pork in it as before. The rice was very dried out too. So sadly, this will be my last visit to this restaurant I will be informing all my friends who I spoke to so highly of this place, to reconsider dining here as well. The portion size and quality are not enough to make the stand out from Panda Express. In fact, I would say you get about the same taste, but more quantity from Panda. Darn shame, this was a diamond in Scottsdale, but now is a simply another lump of coal.

The fried rice was disappointing as it consisted of rice and meat. No onions, green onion, etc. We ordered take out and when I called to provide feedback the staff put me on hold for over five minutes and then just kept repeating back what I had said. She finally said that's just how they make the fried rice and you have to request for everything to be added. Strange.

coming from the east coast i was looking for a good delivery chinese place and Red House is just awesome. their general tso's is great, chicken and brocoli is amazing. it's very inexpensive and quick delivery

My husband and I ordered it to be delivered. All of our food was hot and the take out containers were really study. Orange chicken was really good and I like the fried brown rice. The pot stickers were my fave :) Will be back!

One of very few places which has NY style chicken chow mein. The egg rolls & soup reasonably priced but the large chix chow mein overpriced for the small amt of food. . Also the food made me sick so I will not be going back. It is basically a little hole in the wall.

FINALLY, a place that makes New York style egg foo young. Most of the Chinese restaurants in the valley make a poor attempt but Red House includes the ingredients inside the patties. They were perfect; the sauce was good. I enjoyed it thoroughly.

3 stars is only for potstickers as Georgie raved about previously, however the sauce was disappointing. I enjoy thick skin dumplings which are more northern Chinese delicacies, ahhh brings back the nice memories of going off for the street side pan fried xiao long bao in Beijing and Shanghai...however street prices are usually less than $2 for 6. The owners of Red House are indeed Mandarin natives but of the NY province as the menu says. I can't say I enjoyed the blandness of the fried rice but ill try to be back for some more stickers next time!

Everything we have ordered has been great. Delivery is always prompt and food arrives hot.

Red House has been our go-to Chinese carry-out place for over 3 years. The food is consistent and the staff is friendly. For an "I don't feel like cooking" night, they are quick and inexpensive. Love the Moo Shu Pork and Kung Pao Chicken, and that they offer brown rice as an option.
(4)Georgie M.
WOW! We have come to the Red House many times both for lunch and dinner and found almost all the dishes very tasty and well prepared. I've read some of the other Yelp comments and for the most part we would agree -- this place is pretty authentic, and good. Yes, the owners are from Flushing, NY but their take on some of the traditional Szechuan menu items are subtly different. One minor difference is their take on Szechuan Won Ton. In many restaurants, the main ingredients are sesames, chili oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce and sometimes peanut butter (or tahini). Here, the chef uses a hoisin based sauce -- a minor change that makes for a totally different taste which we liked! Their orange chicken is wonderful, as is all of their chicken dishes. It also was fun to have crispy noodles with duck sauce on the table (very east coast) to start. And, don't forget to try their large and tasty pot stickers -- another, WOW! One note, you order at the counter and the food will come out to your table as it is prepared. The last time we were there, a couple came in and sat down looking at the menus and left after 15 minutes thinking it was waiter service. Enjoy!

Tried red house for the first time tonight. It was excellent! Had the szechuan(sp?) Chicken combo, comes with fried rich and an egg roll. Also ordered the spring rolls and crab Rangoons. Very happy with dinner and will be back!

The best Chinese food I've had in Scottsdale. Delicious!

I had high hopes for this place. I read the reviews about service and I thought that might be an issue and it was. I like to look around at other peoples plates as I walk in and everything looked really good. We ordered and when I food came they gave us the wrong dishes. My wife got mine and I got hers. We both had chicken dishes but with different sauces. Mine spicy, hers milder. I thought that the plates look like they should be switched around but when the server sat them down he announced the correct dish. As a matter of fact my wife's came out about 3 mins ahead of mine. So he announced the name of the dish correctly as he sat it down before us. All through the meal I keep thinking something is wrong. I kept asking my wife, "How is it" and she would reply, just OK. Then finally after I consumed about 80% of my meal I took a bit out of my wife's dish. Sure enough, I knew for sure then. She has my spicy Black Pepper Chicken. Had I discovered it earlier I would have said something. A little ticked off that they told me the wrong dish as they plated it. Also there was no forks anywhere and when I asked for one I got a bit of attitude it seemed. Thinking of going back. The two bites I took of my wives dish was good. I ate an order of something I didn't like, didn't order and yet consumed. Disappointed for all the wrong reasons.

Other than the food and the service, it was OK. Seriously, the guy who took our order at the counter obviously considers waiting on customers as an annoyance. What kind of attitude is that for retail? Crabby, insolent, and no eye contact. We had two dishes. My wife had the teriayaki chicken plate and I had the orange chicken. Although these are two very different chicken preparations (the teriyaki chicken is sauteed and the orange chicken is breaded), they both had one thing in common: they were made from chicken you wouldn't feed your family. Breast meat? FORGET IT. These were both made from stringy and fatty dark meat. The one bright spot in this culinary misadventure was the extremely green broccoli served with both dishes. In fact, it was so green it looked artificial, and based on our experience with the chicken, I had to wonder what technique they used to make it look that way. The restaurant was not clean. There was food on my chair (no, BEFORE I sat there!) and there was debris including a hair comb on the floor. I will never - EVER - set foot in this place again.

Based on the Chinese food I have experienced in Arizona, this place is holding the top spot for now. Ordered the Black Pepper chicken and it was just like it said on the menu - strips of chicken breast lightly fried and coated with a tangy black pepper sauce. It also had plenty of onions and peppers and a free side of rice. Great dish. I also sampled the shrimp egg roll and it was crunchy and had lots of good ingredients inside. About 12 bucks total and the condiment area is a nice touch. Always hated asking for more soy and duck sauce from owners.
(5)Tod S.
Love this place! It is awesome food. I have ordered here a few times and each time I have tried something different and loved it. Glad I found this place
(4)Tracy E.
My mother and I are from Brooklyn, and we have been coming here for many years now. We both enjoy the food, especially the spare ribs. This place is the closest in Arizona that we have come to a New York Chinese food restaurant. Highly recommended, we always send our friends here!
(5)Gabe P.
Just a simple Chinese based restaurant. I've been coming here since the month that it has opened and never had a bad experience. The only thing I have seen change throughout time is the people on the counter. Other than that, food and service has been consistent. It is a NY based Chinese restaurant, but not the type that fancies itself. From reading most reviews, people who see this place expect it to be a fusion of Panda Express and Pei Wei. It's not. People should stop thinking that Pei Wei and Panda Express is real asian food, and when something like this comes along, they claim to be an expert on how chinese food should taste like. For those who aren't from the East Coast, let me learn you something. NY Chinese food is considered Street Food. It is supposed to be cheap and quick. The taste isn't supposed to taste like it took hours to prepare, or even something that health nuts expect out of beef and chicken. It's supposed to be dirty with a hint of flavor, thats how Street Food is. Cheap and Quick. Problem here is, these guys may be from NY, but just like all the other "NY based" restaurants, they have to uphold the norm in the city they are in. Scottsdale isn't a cheap place, nor a cultured place for that matter. So to actually market themselves as a NY Authentic Restaurant isn't going to work much around here. Anyways, aside from that little personal rant ... Service has always been good. I usually phone them so by the time I get there, food is ready. The people on the counter has always been helpful. Sorry for people who get annoyed for their bad service, you can't be helped while the person is on the phone taking care of another customer. I'm not going to rave about how great the food tastes. If you are from the East Coast (NY / NJ / MA) then you can expect a similar taste to that style and cooking. If you aren't from there, then you oughta give this place a chance. Just like every new restaurant that opens, come in and give it a try with an OPEN mind.... and if you have money of course. My gripe with the store is that they sold out. Yes it may have similar tastes to the restaurants back home, but they sold out to try to fit the norm of Scottsdale. Prices have risen for no apparent reason. Fried Rice is close to $7 taxed! That is an outrage. I think they should take off the NY AUTHENTIC scheme and just go with a bland ARIZONA CHINESE RESTAURANT title, because that is what is has succumb to.

Very high quality for delivery chinese food. I could have Red House come to my door every night, and be a very happy man. I had the chicken lo mein. A wonderful comfort standby. With one bite of the noodles I was sold on Red House. The taste and flavor aren't really that much better than any other restaurant, but Red House delivers that taste and flavor without drowning the meal in the sauce. My girlfriend ordered the steamed chicken and vegetables from the weight watchers selection. She added a side of brown sauce just so she could make it a little tastier, but keep it healthy. It's nice to see a chinese place with healthier selections. I can't say I have seen the inside of this restaurant, but I'm not sure if I ever need to. The food came to my door in less than a half hour and was still pretty hot on delivery. Prices are really good, too. With a side of brown rice this meal was only around $20.
(4)Holly R.
My boyfriend and I were very excited to find a great Chinese food go-to when we moved to the area. Every time we have visited Red House, the people appear to be very friendly and the food is excellent. Egg Rolls are fantastic and I love the lo-mein. However, I'm not sure what is going on over there... Almost every time we have ordered, our order has been messed up. Either they are forgetting something, wrong type of rice, wrong order all together. It is certainly a disappointment when you sit down to eat and you do not have the correct order. Note to self, we will check our orders before walking out the door.
(3)Betsy B.
I was not sure whether to give this restaurant a 2 or 3 star. I will give them three stars but that is being generous. I read the recent reviews and decided to try this place. I ordered An egg roll and sweet and sour pork . The egg roll was good with lots of vegetables but very greasy. The sweet and sour pork was more breading than pork, greasy. The sauce was on the side which I liked. The best part of this take out meal was the brown rice. Hard to make bad brown rice. Wish there was a great Chinese restaurant in this town.
(3)Jenifer R.
Five stars from us because we just LOVED IT!!!! We ordered the orange chicken as many recommended it and boy did we enjoy every single bite of it, it was gone, none to take home as leftovers. We also got the egg fried rice, lo mein noodles and the triple delight, all so delish! Waitress and entire staff were so friendly. Just a great place to go OR PICK UP to take home! I really, highly recommend this little jewel. We will FOR SURE be back!!!
(5)Eric H.
OJ chix is ok but the soy drenched not fried rice ruined it!
(1)Michelle A.
I can't believe I haven't reviewed Red House yet. I go here a few times a month for lunch. Definitely great lunch specials, at great prices, with nice service. Your typical NY/NJ style interior-no frills. You don't come here for ambiance. Good rice, great chicken and broccoli-and they call it Egg Drop soup, not egg flower like so many other places here in AZ. Yay..I like it!
(4)Tori B.
I previously rated the Red House 3 stars, but after tonight's dinner, I've decided that I now am a fan of this place. Tonight we had the hot and sour soup (again), mongolian beef, and moo shu chicken. All of it was soooo... good! I previously wasn't wowed with the szechuan chicken, but everything else has been amazing. I love the soup and the wonton strips that come with it. All in all, I will be back and thoroughly enjoyed tonight's dinner!
(4)Jason D.
This is a great alternative to the sit down chinese. It has strong hints of NY in the flavors. The sauces are very balanced, and less garlic-y than the other options in Scottsdale. The vegetables are fresh and fantastically prepared. The price is about $2 cheaper across the board than its competitors. If you can appreciate NY Chinese food, and more specifically Chinese from Queens, then this is the place for you.
(5)Christina N.
So I have been here one time before and it was very tasty. However, this time was not that great. The food seemed to take a lot longer than it should. Also, our meals came out seperately. My boyfriend received his 5 minutes before I got mine...hmmm. I ordered the beef with garlic sauce and mixed vegetables. It had a sweeter flavor thatn the gentleman at the counter led on it would. Oh well, not bad but not good. His meal was the 'chicken amazing'. Ha ha... should have been called the 'chicken not so amazing'. It was very heavily sauced to the point that near the end of the dish, the bottom of the plate was covered in this bright red-orange sauce. Again, oh well. We know for a fact that the szechuan chicken and the beef with broccoli is tasty, so try those for sure!
(3)Steve G.
Extremely good New York style Chinese. The pan-fried dumplings are superb. The B.B.Q. Boneless Spareribs are really good. The Chicken Amazing is ... well, amazing! I have gone numerous times, and will go back. Five stars because it is good and the staff is very anxious to please, that puts them over the edge.

We got a flyer at work and saw the lunch specials so it intrigued us to order from here one day. Also because it was super convenient that they delivered. I had the honey chicken lunch special and thought it was quite tasty. I sampled some sesame chicken from a coworker and thought it was pretty good as well. I also had half an eggroll and enjoyed it, too. All lunch specials come with a soup (egg drop, hot & sour or wonton) or a can of soda. I had the wonton soup and didn't like it very much. The broth was brownish and tasted like soy sauce which is a big no no to me. There isn't suppose to be soy sauce in wonton soup! Also the wontons were bleh... the wonton skin was too thick. Clearly they are the types meant for frying and not in soups. The price was fair, though. 7 lunch specials for around $45. That's a pretty good deal. Will order here again if I'm in need for a place that delivers, but otherwise it's nothing extraordinary from the casual chinese take out joints. *I love that they don't charge extra for brown rice **They make their own hot mustard thats pretty tasty
(3)Ken F.
Excellent local chinese food very authentic. They have many good dishes you can't go wrong with any of them. My favorites are the house egg foo yiung, shrimp and lobster sauce and moo shu pork. They also have very good soups and crispy noodles for the soup.
(5)C. W.
Great Chinese food with great prices! Not that over fancy Chinese food but just really good normal Chinese food. Love this place!
(5)Laura B.
How this place gets such good reviews is beyond me. Food is bland and tasteless. Service is average at best. The place wasn't even clean. Chinese food is better even in the Midwest than it is at this place. To each his own I guess.
(2)Marcos G.
Had a very nice lunch at the Red House. The food was fresh and delicious. Good service.
(4)Cara S.
Went here for lunch today with a friend and it was quite delicious! I struggle to find good Chinese food in Arizona, so I did not have my hopes up too high. But, they're Yelp ratings made me give it a whirl. I had the Kung Pao Shrimp, which had a good amount of spice to it. I could taste the kick but it was not overpowering. The lunch specials here are quite a deal, you get soup or soda with your meal. Mine was just about $6 with tax. My only complaint was that four shrimp in a meal is not enough. If there would have been 5 or 6 that would have seemed right.
(4)Joe G.
Egg Drop soup is great. Pick-up was ready in 15m. Soup was piping hot, served the way it should be. Garlic chicken was good, too.
(4)Yenling C.
Simply the best chinese take out I have ever had. the steamed vegetables with tofu are not only healthy but also delicious. Very surprised! PS: You will love this place if you are from Taiwan like me.
(5)Randy C.
Great place! wonton's while you wait. Best hot and sour soup I've ever had! Everything is really good. Nice clean place.
(5)Vivienne P.
Not so much. The first couple times I ate there it was good not great definitely NOT New York. The last time I ate there it was horrible and I haven't been back. I'm still in search of really good chinese food in Phoenx. Alas I think its a fairy tale.
(2)Stan W.
Great lunch specials. I had kung pao chicken, soup and brown rice for less than $6 today. The veggies in the kung pao were fresh, not frozen like some chinese restaurants. Also, their mushrooms were fantastic. They actually tasted like mushrooms as opposed to limp soggy mushrooms that spent all day soaking up whatever sugary sauce they were swimming in all day. All in all, a good, quick choice if you are in the neighborhood or want to order take out or delivery.
(4)Jen E.
When I discovered Red House, I just knew they had to be from the East Coast. I asked them and, sure enough, they said they are from Flushing, Queens. I grew up in Queens and have sorely missed the REAL New York Chinese take-out spots that actually have different sizes to choose from when it comes to certain dishes, as well as the distinct flavor of these dishes. The eggrolls are just like home! The staff is quick, just like in New York. And the brown sauce is excellent. I have had their shrimp with broccoli in garlic sauce and was very happy with it. I have had their wonton soup, which was excellent. I have had their chicken chow fun which was exactly like I remembered from back East. Red House is a little slice of New York in Scottsdale. Very rare and very good.
(5)Michael M.
Stumbled on the Red House the other day. This is the closest place I've found to the New York / Chicago style Chinese food that I grew up with. Very reasonably priced, good service and very good food. It is hard to find a good egg rolls and they have them. I've had the Almond Chicken and Chicken Chowmein. The girls had the orange chicken and honey chicken. Nothing fancy, just a small restaurant in a strip mall with Big portions of good food. A great neighborhood hangout! My new go to Chinese restaurant.
(4)Mary S.
When we discovered this restaurant it has just opened. The food was great and it soon became a favorite. However we just ate there after a taking a break and we were really shocked at how bland and tasteless the food has become. It is a drastic difference and the prices had risen also. For the price we will choose to go to another of our favorites. Really bummed, this was so great. The service is also stand offish, when the food was great it was worth it but now we just found it the final straw. Will not return , sadly.

I moved here from NJ last July. I am used to having numerous either take out or sit down Chinese restaurants very close to my home near NYC. I have tried a few places here in Phoenix and was very disappointed. A friend lives in North Scottsdale and took me one day to Red House. Not only were the owners from NYC, but finally good NYC style Chinese food. I have been back 10 times from my home in central Phoenix, maybe 20-25 minutes away. I have had many different meals, combinations, noodle dishes, soups, egg rolls; not one mediocre or poor quality meal. The owners and employees are always courteous and friendly.
