Just an FYI: sesame chicken does not have peanuts in it, if yours does, you should label it on your website. sending my partner into Anaphylactic shock at 8pm and rushing her to the hospital was not ideal. Will never order again, negligence at its finest.

Just ordered delivery of egg rolls , chicken balls rice and chow mien . Worst chinese we have ever had. We even asked if the egg rolls were the bean sprouts and she said yes but it was all cabbage. Sorry but it was bad !

This was not it. Ordered the: General Tso Chicken Chicken Balls Teriyaki Beef Chicken Chow Mein The only good thing was the Chicken Balls. Everything else was a let down. Service was good people were nice. But that cant make up for the taste of the food. Do not recommend

February 25, 2024

very disappointed! ordered BBQ Ribs & received BBQ Pork Fried Rice. ordered crispy chicken spring rolls: none of the 5 pieces had ANY chicken. When I called the manager, he said they are made by hand so the amount of chicken varies. When I said NONE of the 5 had ANY, he said ''that is so rare, you are very lucky, go buy a lottery ticket!''. No offer of any credit back to my credit card only that I should have brought the fried rice back. the one star is for the Vancouver Chicken Wings - they were delicious: Crispy, medium spicy & a good size! The Pad Thai looked nothing like the photo on the web site. It has reddish sauce & very little chicken & vegetables - it was just ok

July 19, 2023

I had chicken w black bean sauce chow mein delivered and a spring roll. The noodles were oily, the chicken tasteless, and the vegetables were in large chunks, not nicely presented. Overall a big disappointment. The spring roll was nice. This was my first and last order it's just too expensive to take another chance. If this had been purchased at a grocery store I would take it back for a refund. I don't have that option with this vendor.

Was here the other day, and I got to say that I was pretty excited to checkout the food here. Even tho some of the other reviews suggest otherwise. After me and my family ordering multiple items on the menu. Exited to try them all. The only thing that was tasty was the house noddles which is literally noddles with a soy sauce base. I’m really dissatisfied and disappointed that we spent close to a hundred for mostly in edible “fake and artificial food” this is not like a restaurant tho it’s a family owned location. This tastes like fast food that you would find at a gas station… hope things change and you focus on making the food not only more tasty but more presentable too. The sweet and sour chicken is sooo doughy I’ll be surprised if there’s even chicken in there. The bean and beef tastes really expired. Took a while for the food to be made too (over half and hour) - out of many many plates. I’d say that 95% of the food was thrown away form the indelibleness of the food. We were hungry so we had to eat that 5%. The Singapore noodles are dry, pretty low quality place. Things need to change

Best Chinese restaurant in Oakville. VERY highly recommend their dry fried chicken. I've been to many Chinese restaurants and this dish is unique to Red Chillie alone. They batter and deep fry the chicken right when you order, so it's as fresh as it can possibly be. Consider trying it "Thai-style" if you want something spicier. Whenever I have out-of-town friends visiting I always make sure to treat them to this and they all love it. I think also worth mentioning is they have a "secret" menu consisting of many internationally inspired foods like chicken chicharrones and other Peruvian dishes including Inca Kola.

Amazing Chinese take-out! Drove from Mississauga for pickup based off of a recommendation and was not sorry at all for doing the drive! Quality of the food was incredible. Great portion sizes. Flavor was awesome. And their sauces were not your traditional bottled stuff you get everywhere! Sweet and sour sauce was freshly made, no packets of plum sauce for egg rolls, they gave freshly made sauce that was delicious. Ordered shrimp in lobster sauce, beef with mushrooms (amazing!), egg rolls, spring rolls, orange zest chicken (amazing!), Cantonese soft noodles and veggie fried rice. Will 100% order from here again!

I ordered fried rice and crisp chicken. The rice was good but the chicken had nothing to do with I ordered. It tasted like a chicken that was made earlier it wasn t crisp at all and also had some type of sauce that I hated. I just lost my appetite that night besides throwing my money out

Ordered from here 3 times - twice through Skip The Dishes. The first two orders were amazing. Unfortunately the 3rd was not, and I doubt I will order from here again. Food arrived barely warm and extremely greasy. I suspect nothing had been freshly prepared either - the time duration between placing the order and arrival of the order was 1/2 an hour and Red Chillie is a 15 minute drive from where I live. Deeply disappointed.

This is a take out location only. Order ahead or just show up. They also deliver. The food is great tasting, hot and freshly cooked. The portions are large and this reflects the price. The staff is friendly and helpful. The kitchen is in full view, clean, organized and fully staffed. Menu prices are based on paying with a credit card. Pay with cash and get a discount.

Have been ordering takeout from Red Chilli for 17 years now. Always delicious food and hot when you get it. My favourites are the crispy pork chunks in honey garlic sauce, shanghai noodles, and dry vancouver calamari, but there are many other great things on the menu.

December 22, 2021

Ordered based on all the rave reviews, and was not impressed by the taste of the food. The portions are good however the taste is not to our liking. The vegetable hot & sour soup tasted more of vinegar. Steamed dumpling looked like frozen or reheated ones. Overall, disappointed with the food.

December 22, 2020

We recently moved to the neighbourhood so i wanted to try a Chinese food restaurant that was closer to home but unfortunately it was hugely disappointing. We tried 4-5 different dishes and they were all not very good. I usually LOVE leftovers the next day but instead, I threw them out. I found the dishes to be bland and mushy or really tough, especially the chicken dishes. The lemon chicken was the worst Ive ever had. Sorry, I tried. I read the reviews (some were horrible btw) and some were good so I gave it a shot but it didnt work out.

I ordered the corn soup, chicken with ginger sauce, chicken chop suey, and braised tofu with vegetables. I was thinking it was a bit overpriced looking at the menu but when the food arrived, the portions were huge! Food was so fresh, not too greasy, and massive chunks of chicken and tofu. Some of the best Chinese I ve had in the west GTA for sure.

Most take out-only restaurants use the same vegetable ingredients in all their dishes - carrots, onions, celery - making them almost indistinguishable, if not for the sauce. Red Chillie was a sit-down restaurant at the original location, so the food is always high quality! The food is delicious!

He was so so nice and when I was uncultured and had no clue what to order. He was quick to help me out and give me his personal recommendations.

Excellent place, try the Peruvian menu.

December 22, 2019

On Valentines day, I called in my regular order which was within my purchase history, chicken teriyaki, substitute the broccoli for green peppers. Usually 15 minutes to prepare. When I arrived, the 2 boys at the front couldnt find the order and had looked over the pick up orders three times and went in the back to check in with the ladies 3 times. No invoice/slip any where. The manager came back and then said 2 minutes. They asked for my order since they never had the print out and I verbally gave and reminded them to substitute green peppers for broccoli. Within 8 minutes it was put together. When I went home to eat, it had broccoli. I brought it back and the manager was rude did nothing to fix the issue. She refunded the purchase. I was extremely disappointed with my experience and I would not recommend going their.

The best Canadian Chinese-style food option in town, but it doesnt come anywhere close to the Chinese restaurants in Mississauga and eastward. I suspect with the changing demographics of the Town, its only a matter of time before a more authentic Chinese restaurant opens up in Oakville. Regardless, a nice option with good value and selection. The Honey Garlic Tofu is a nice dish. Note: They often charge an extra $1 on their stated menu items.

Im a long time customer of red chillies but the service I received today was appalling. I have been ordering sheshuan noodles for years and they have always arrived with thick fat noodles. Today my order showed up with a shanghai noodle. I called to let the manager know about the mistake. He told me I need to ask for the fat noodle which had never been an issue before. I explained that I would like to have the error corrected or my money back. He told me he would only do so if I returned the food that my family had already dug into (to serve to other guests?!) We have already waited over an hour for the food to arrive and werent about to wait another hour for someone to come pick up the noodles while the rest of the food gets cold. When I told the manager that hes lost a long time customer and I will not order from them again he said thats fine and hung up. I hope he thinks this review is fine as well.

There are no tables to eat at, so the atmosphere isnt important, only the quality of the food you get either delivered or pick up to go. Its fantastic food and I highly recommend the crispy shrimp, but if youre picking it up keep in mind that they wait until youre there to quickly fry up the breaded shrimp so that its as fresh as possible.

They used to serve good food, but not anymore, our last order went 100% to waste. Beef taste like anything but beef, also very chewy, and instead of strips it came in wide big pieces , couldnt swallow this thing even when Im starving. Fried shrimps also very bad, rubber shrimps. Not to mention that everything was greasy even the thin noodles.. Im never going back and not recommending at all. For this amount of money, I would have better food somewhere else.

Good place to go when youre in the mood for Chinese food in the Glen Abbey area. We have been going to Red Chillie for a long time and it has always been good and sometimes great. It really depends on what you order (which is true of many restaurants with large menus). Nothing is bad by any means, but some dishes are much better than others. Experiment with what you like and when in doubt be sure to ask the folks at Red Chillie for their recommendations.

Be careful with your bill. They added $4 out of nowhere calculating individual soups instead of the price for 4 . Then they put 3 in the bag. This is not the first time.
