We have enjoyed Red Chili for years. Haven’t eaten here in a while and after ordering their Pad Thai we realized they add small dehydrated shrimp to it. We have eaten the same dish here and other places. Have never seeing this before.

The panang curry is so good! I was a lil weary when I saw that it's white meat but they marinated it correctly and it's so tender. The rice was so good with the sauce. I needed another bowl.

Chicken satay was great also. Pho is just ok though.

Surprisingly nice looking inside.

Diner Review β„–21

The curry sauce here is exquisite. There's a hint of mint, And the space level is sublime. I ordered spicy level: hot and that's what I got. Delicious! The rice is cooked to perfection. And the pork and chicken egg rolls are quite good as well. This restaurant is a real gem and will be frequented by me often.

Diner Review β„–22

They have raised the prices way to much .We were practically alone on Friday night. Food was good. Price not good .

Diner Review β„–23

I am not a Thai food person but I liked there roti and sauce and drunken noodles. Good service. Location is bit unappealing butI don't hold that against the establishment

Diner Review β„–24

Easily one of best spots in Hayward with the kindest staff. Good vibes all around.

Diner Review β„–25

Good vegetarian options, pretty much all items can be ordered without meat, egg and fish oil.
Different levels of spiciness to handle.
fyi: Medium is a decent level eatable spicy.

This is the worst restaurant ever! I have come with my family many times and they always mess up my order. My wife is severely allergic to egg and mushroom, so we always inform them however they always seem to forget. I have given them several chances and this time they have taken it to far.I had order from this restaurant as my family loves the cuisine.bed specifically said vegetarian no egg and mushroom for every item that I had ordered and even checked afterwards to confirm of the fact. However when my daughter went and checked the food when we got there it was full of shrimp in the avocado rolls and mushrooms in the yellow curry and egg in the herbal lettuce wrap.we talked to the lady quite nicely and explained the situation but she didn’t listen and just kept saying that it was not her fault and they did what they were told even when I showed her the proof that we had said no meat and etc she just denied the fact and said β€œDon’t talk to me like that” I was shocked at the fact and since she said was not willing to cooperate I had just called the business afterwards where she was just being very rude. I used to love this restaurant and they used to have great customer service but now I will never go back to this one place again l. I hope I can help others avoid this problem in the future.

This has become our favorite place to take people when they come visit - the food is always good, they make it quick, the prices are reasonable. I've never had anything less than a fantastic time, and the spicy stuff is actually spicy. No complaints, would recommend to anyone.

As someone from Asia, they have one of the best green curry and Pad See Ew in the Bay Area.
(By no following the cult of adding bamboo shoot in the green curry🀣🀣)

Food is good. But customer service is horrible. Super rude. It's not the first time I ordered from here. But it'll be the last. They gave me a tofu only soup when I asked for veg and tofu. Immediately, they started to say it was somehow my fault. I would have been fine, If they couldn't add veggies. But the server was taking a very rude tone with me, so I left with the food and am writing this review.

When ordering food from here we have to make sure we check 2 times they gave me wrong food . I order the food on phone n nicely told them twice no onions since we don’t eat onions. So upon arrival I told them I wana check because u guys made mistakes twice before when I checked there was onions in it I told the waitress I told no onions she say u didn’t n she started saying no u don’t when I say I did . So the other waitress came in her language the say something n they told me they gona cook another one upon waiting 10 mins they brought back food I took home when I scoop the fried rice n flat rice noodles I found out onion’s which clearly shows that they just took out the onions on top n left as is inside so this is wat it is food is teasty though but service is not to the expectation

The best take out Thai food I’ve ever had! I love their yellow curry. It’s sweet and savory with a little spice. I like it mild, so I ordered no spice! Love their pineapple fried rice, their wasabi walnut prawns, their roti, and the green curry, too. This is our go to spot. It is dark and small to eat in, but we love to take out!

Red Chili offers a delightful dining experience. The food is fantastic, with a range of flavors that appeal to the taste buds. The staff is attentive and adds to the overall positive atmosphere. The reasonable prices make it a great value for the quality of the food. Definitely worth a visit for those craving authentic Thai cuisine without breaking the bank.

I recently visited Red Chili in Hayward and had a fantastic experience. The parking at the back was convenient, and the back door entrance made it easily accessible. The customer service was excellent, and I highly recommend trying their delicious curry, which happens to be my favorite. Overall, a must-visit for Vietnamese and Thai food enthusiasts!

Diner Review β„–67

Very good food. The green curry is on point so is any of the site fry especially the garlic jumbo prawns.

Diner Review β„–68

Was in nearby town on business. Stopped in for a road lunch. Classy place. Authentic. The tea was the best I've ever had. Being from rural California, that's not saying much. Pho was excellent. Viet Rice was very fresh and quite tasty.

Diner Review β„–70

This place is getting worse!!

If you ordered and paid on their website when you came in time, they forgot your order.

If you call and place an order, they do not make it unless you are here and paid.

If you eat in the restaurants or ordered via doordash that's different story.

Love this place. Big restaurant good for dinner or a low-key date night. The food is spicy πŸ”₯ and can be adjusted to the temp you like. I love the pad key mai noodles πŸ”₯, crab or pineapple fried rice, and really anything you choose will be great. The veggies egg roll were so good too. I add photos soon. I ate this so fast

Diner Review β„–79

Great Thai Food and Great Location to eat and Bring the Family

Diner Review β„–80

Service is terrible, the servers have a face that they don’t want to work here and any special requests are tossed out of the window. I asked the broccoli in my 4 year old’s pad see ew to be minced and they straight up declined it. I said you just have to chop it up smaller…. Nope!!!
Won’t go back

Diner Review β„–81

Food was great. Service was ok.

Diner Review β„–82

What a find! Brilliant authentic and tasty Thai/Vietnamese food at affordable prices. Friendly efficient service in a really clean environment. The locals dine here which says a lot about the establishment. You can happily try this place.

Diner Review β„–83

Red Chili is one of my favorite Thai restaurants in the East Bay! Their food is very flavorful, fresh, and authentic to my taste buds. I've tried a lot of items on the menu, and whether I've dined in or had takeout, this place never disappoints!

My go-to's are the Roti Canai (an absolute must!) for the appetizer, Panag Curry with chicken, pineapple fried price, and lemon grass beef. There are plenty of other delicious options, so try them at your leisure!

As for the pho and some of the other Vietnamese dishes, it's good, but not my favorite. In other words, if you're craving pho and your squad is already here, go for it. It's consistent and delicious enough, but I come here for the Thai food specifically. Overall, you'll get your South East Asian cravings completely satisfied one way or another.

They have a large indoor dining area which I've never seen full but moderate filled. The service is fine, prices are fair considering it's 2020's. Have at it!

I had tom yum soup, stir-fried drunken noodle, and half moon crepe, and I loved it all. Especially the crepe, it was super delicious!!!! It was nice and crispy , so if you happen to dine in at this place try the crepe!!

Diner Review β„–90

Wanted some pho and this was the only place outside a 20 minute drive that could supply the goods and hey, actually that was a pretty great noodle soup I had. The broth had that great homely quality and flavor. Only thing I would say is the portion size is pretty small you will get maybe 3 or 4 of whatever meat you asked for. Though in fairness, the price is pretty solid.

I checked the reviews on this place before I decided to eat here. I read lots of reviews that Don't make sense. I can see true that sometimes we act just like children. My wife had Pad Thai and I had fried rice, soup and some other dishes, we loved the food and we got the food so fast. I totally recommend it.

Diner Review β„–113

Why would you put over-cooked fried tofu on Tom yum? Absolutely inedible

Diner Review β„–117

I just came for a Thai Tea. I went to the counter to pay and the lady who assisted me told me to sit down, I said no I’m making a take out order. She then demanded that I sit and I refused. Then she asked me if I want a small Thai Tea or a Large. I said Large and I thought I was paying for large but she brought out a small one. I tried to pay with Apple Pay and she resisted nd said I couldn’t pay with Apple Pay, then when she figured it out she said I could pay with Apple Pay. I still don’t think I got what I payed for. It was very poor communication and poor customer service.

Diner Review β„–118

Bring the Health inspector on this dinner date. I found a maggot in my white rice. What kind of show are you running here? A flea circus. The curry seemed watered down. Like they forgot a can of milk. But it still has that mouth warming curry flavor. πŸ‘

Diner Review β„–119

Always good. Been going here for years.

Diner Review β„–120

Diner Review β„–121

We ordered both viet and Thai foods and the viet food was definitely flavorless and disappointing. However the Thai food had much more flavor. The Tom yum soup was the best even though a tad bit on the very spicy side. If/when we visit next time we will stick to only Thai food

It's weird because the food was amazing, the service was, looked and felt like I was being served by spoiled teenage girls, we were ignored alot they forgot portions of our orders and they brought the wrong food a few times and we could hear other patrons with the same complaints it was embarrassing. First time I didn't want to tip.

Diner Review β„–128

A must try Thai restaurant. We ordered Roti canai (I liked very much, crispy and soft), spicy veg fried rice, green curry and red curry and Pad cee ew. The fried rice with green curry was amazing. A good portion they are giving.

I got crab fried rice from here and it was HORRIBLE. I got a bowl full of undercooked rice with no flavor or CRAB. I will NEVER go here again a total waste of 20.00. There was suppose to be asparagus in the rice there was maybe 6 slivers cut up like green onions.

Red Chili has been our go to place for local Thai cuisine for years. Every meal starts with 2 to 3 orders of their Roti Canai. Our usual favorites are standard fare like Pad Thai, Yellow Curry and Pad See Ew. A must have is their crab fried rice!

Diner Review β„–143

Diner Review β„–144

Look elsewhere as their food quality has dropped precipitously over the pandemic such that I'm not sure that they'll last until the next door apartment complex opens. It used to be my favorite restaurant, but I've choked down my last bad meal there. I'm done. Sad πŸ˜•

Diner Review β„–145

Decently priced 🍜 pho and hits all the right notes you crave. Thai curries are rich and filling. Spicy fried rice has been my favorite... with the spicy being up there in heat but not unbearable.

Diner Review β„–149

One of my favorite "go-to" places when I have the cravings. Food is always fantastic! I've tried many of the dishes here and have yet to be disappointed. Sometimes, the service isn't that great, that's because they're packed; all tables are taken with a line of customers waiting. Can't wait 'till my next visit or take-out!

On Tuesday 4/5, my wife placed an order online for pick up. They open for dinner at 4:30 pm, the order was placed for a pick up time of 5:00 pm. My wide showed up at 5:00 and asks for her order, the lady behind the counter asks for her name and phone number. The lady walks over to an order sitting on a table, looks at the receipt and tells my wife "you need to wait more time". The lady proceeds to help a few other customers while my wife waits patiently. After 25 minutes of waiting, my wife asks for an update on her order. The lady walks over to the SAME order she previously checked and proceeds to hand it to my wife. She made my wife sit and wait for 25 minutes for our order AFTER checking it and saying it wasn't ready. So our food sat on the table for 25 minutes due to her incompetence. We ordered 2 pad thais and 2 spring rolls, not a very complicated order. And to add insult to injury, the food was mediocre at best. The noodles were clumped together as if they reused old noodles and the spring rolls were simply bad. We will not be going back to red chili and will no longer recommend them in the future.

Diner Review β„–160

Filling and tasty

Diner Review β„–161

They are always so quick and efficient here. The food is good, and certainly worth the price you pay. It's an easy Friday night dinner that will fill you up and won't break the bank. I recommend the red curry, but they have lots of good options!

It was the first time I visited this restaurant. We went to the restaurant around 1230 on weekdays. It was slow, so we got the table fast. After ordering, it took maybe 10 minutes for the food. Really good and tasty food. I will be going again soon.
