Red Hot Wok is a no-frills, consistently busy spot with generally easy seating. We ordered several containers of hot & sour soup, which is a personal favorite. While not the most authentic version, it was hearty and enjoyable with a few ingredient tweaks.
The beef fried rice with satay sauce was overly oily and had an overpowering “wok” taste. The beef fried noodles with kang kung lacked seasoning and fell flat in flavor.
There’s potential here, especially for casual bites—but a few key improvements could really elevate the experience.

Authentic Taiwanese stir fried dishes. Not the street food varieties, and no beef noodles. Killer mango shaved ice.

We went here due to a friend's recommendation. This place did not disappoint. We ordered 3 cup chicken, scallions with lamb, stirred fried beef with noodle, and bitter melon with salty eggs. They were fresh, flavorful and delicious.

Don’t go there. Very poor service and that lady who’s in front of desk she is totally unprofessional. She doesn’t have sense to talk and how to handle the pressure totally unacceptable.
Last time had dinner here was 10 years ago, luckily this restaurant survived, foods are good as 10 years ago

First time here. The food was tasty. But with only 2 waitresses for all the tables on a weekend, we had to wait a long time to even pay the bill. The place is not huge but only 2 people on the floor to be the cashier/host/waitress is not enough. No water refill either. The food was good but I may not come back being other places as tasty as this one with better service. Not sure if it was only this day but the atmosphere was tense too because of how stressed the waitresses were running around.

I love eating at red hot wok, probably one of the best Taiwanese restaurants in the area. Recommended dishes: sizzling lamb with black pepper sauce( you can choose any protein with the sauce, personally I prefer lamb), three cup chicken, stir fried lamb with bamboo shoots.

Extremely slow. Whatever waiting time you got, add 30 minutes minimum
Food is not good and over priced
