“ Red Pepper food is fresh and high quality . We have been loyal customers for years!! Big fans of the Vietnamese wonton soup !!! ”

“ Red Pepper Chinese & Vietnamese is a solid, family-friendly spot in Amherst that has been serving great food for 23 years--and their consistency shows! I picked up lunch on Lunar New Year 2025, and everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. The service has always been great although I didn't eat in so I couldn't say too much this time around. We had the General Tso's chicken (which is a bit different from most places since it includes red peppers in the sauce), chicken fried rice, beef and broccoli, egg drop soup, wonton soup, and vegetable lo mein. Each dish was tasty, and you can tell they use quality ingredients. The portions were generous, and everything came out hot and fresh. The restaurant has a welcoming atmosphere. While nothing particularly stands out as extraordinary, Red Pepper's reliability and dedication to quality make it a great go-to for Chinese and Vietnamese cuisine. I appreciate that it's family-owned and has remained consistent for over two decades--definitely a place worth supporting! Will be back again. ”

“ We were greeted and the waiter brought over water and a pot of hot tea an fried noodles with duck sauce. We ordered orange chicken that was crunchy on the outside and moist and tender inside and the sauce was delicious, it came with white rice, and we also had egg noodles with beef, onions, peppers, that was my favorite, since I love thin noodles, I also had an egg roll, the tables were set up beautifully with. Goblets, cloth napkins, and silverware, the restaurant, the setting and the service was outstanding. I really enjoyed my meal ”

“ Congratulations to Red Pepper for being named the best Chinese restaurant in 2024 by Buffalo Spree Magazine! For the longest time I only ordered pho soup, so I must have missed out. Oh, well... However, this time again I couldn't choose anything other than the #9 from the Vietnamese menu. I wanted the same seafood pho I fell in love with a long time ago. Unfortunately, I now have to say that Red Pepper no longer satisfies my craving for seafood pho. The broth was very basic and tasted flat, no surprise. The assortment of seafood sometimes made up for the rest, but it didn't work for me again. Nothing had changed since I had the Cambodian Style Rice Noodle Pho Soup last time, only the price went up, which is understandable. My partner's House Special Pho had much more tasty and flavorful broth. He actually enjoyed his soup a lot, as always. I saw him having all kinds of good looking beef meat and beef parts. We both finished our bowls. Nothing was left. The rice noodles were very good. The wait staff is energetic and focused. Everything is quickly on the table. The owner always shares a smile. ”

“ We visited on a very busy Friday at 6pm, but were seated quickly. Each table has a fresh tablecloth, and cloth napkins. There were no chopsticks offered, just a fork and spoon. We ordered fried dumplings, spring rolls, and #7 House Special Pho. Tea and water were complimentary, as well as fried noodles and duck sauce. Our service was efficient, especially considering how busy they were. The food came out quickly, especially the yummy fried dumplings. The portion of Pho was huge and delicious. The spring rolls were a bit disappointing, as there was not much pork in them. There is a plate of cut up orange and fortune cookies placed on each table at the end of your meal. This restaurant is consistently good, and very popular. Parking can be problematic. ”

“ Stopped here for lunch the other day, and so glad we did. The place was pretty busy, which was no surprise since they have a good lunch special. We were seated pretty quick. Service was excellent and friendly from beginning to end. As I said, they have several lunch specials and husband ordered one. He got the sesame chicken which came with soup & a large bowl of rice. I decided to go with the Beef Pho and ordered the large. Did I say large? It was gigantic! The picture doesn't truly show the size. It was loaded with rare beef, beef brisket, and tendon. My first time trying tendon. It was ok but probably wouldn't order it again. I'm more of a seafood person and will try that on my next visit. The pho was full of flavor and as I said, gigantic. I had my fill at lunch, and my leftovers filled 2 quart containers. Dinner! Overall an enjoyable tasty lunch. Can't wait for my next visit to try that seafood pho. 2023-125 ”

“ This was my first time here. I can't believe I waited so long to come here. We went for lunch and based on the full parking lot I thought for sure we would have to wait for a table but that wasn't the case. We were greated at the door and immediately seated. Like clockwork someone brought us a pot of hot tea then another person brought us chow mein noodles and sweet dip to munch on before our meal. Our waiter took our order and within a few minutes we had our food. I ordered the Sesame Chicken with Pork Fried Rice and Hot and Sour Soup. Although the Sesame Chicken was different than I have had in the past at other places, it was very good. Most other restaurants use pre-made heavily breaded frozen then deep fried chicken, this place uses fresh cut and lightly battered chicken. You really can tell the difference. We noticed one of the employees sitting at a table in the back of the diningroom preparing a huge pile of fresh green beans. He later told me that they only use fresh ingredients in all their dishes. This is rare these days because many restaurants are cutting costs by using "almost fresh" ingredients, but not here. I look forward to returning and trying other menu items. ”
