Red Orchids China Bistro

Really wonderful food. I ordered the mandarin tofu - yummy. Crispy outside, sweet but spicy flavorful sauce. My friend ordered the shrimp pancit. A little spicy but great. Decor and ambience were nice, service was excellent. Would definitely visit again.

Finally-the Chinese food I’ve been looking for since living in the Lowcountry. Saturday night crowd was busy so we had a bit of a wait but it was worth it. Service was friendly and attentive. We had the hot and sour soup and spring rolls for appetizers. Korean beef for entree and crispy Brussels sprouts as a side. The hot and sour soup was up to par with what I was accustomed to in San Francisco. Delicious. Brussels sprouts were great. Well-seasoned and crispy. Korean beef was incredible. I will be back very soon.

We all should feel lucky as we have Red Orchids in town. Out of all the Asian fusion restaurants I have been to around Charleston, Red Orchids is definitely the one that I highly, highly recommend!The food that they serve is a combination of genuine Chinese dish with real traditional Chinese ingredients but slightly tuned into something that fits better to American’s taste. The food portion is slightly smaller than other restaurants, and price is on the higher end of Chinese restaurants, but for the quality of the food that you are getting, it is worth going to try.The atmosphere is no where like what you will be imagining in a Chinese Restaurant, Red Orchids is well decorated, with pictures dating back to the 1940s of Shanghai and other elegant decorations on the wall. Menu was with a variety of wine selections, so it is more like a place for you to enjoy Chinese fusion food than just going to a restaurant.Been there multiple times and this time I ordered Calamari Fries, Shanghai Fettuccine and Korean steak, the food was delicious, the only critique I had was the steak sauce was too sweet for me.

Thanks to Red Orchids, we have found our favorite Asian food restaurant in the Charleston area. We drive 30 minutes to dine here at least twice a month or more. We are always welcomed warmly and the service is excellent. Don’t let the strip mall scene fool you…inside it’s upscale casual. Our favorite dishes are the Korean Steak, General Chicken, and the chicken fried rice. Yum! The food is consistently good every single time. Don’t miss out on their wonderful hot mustard condiment. There’s no other out there like it! Thank you Kelly, Tony, and team. Bravo!

The food was phenomenal and the service was great. Everything we tried was amazing. We will definitely be back. The dumplings were my favorite.

Usually this place gets 5 stars but tonight 1. Shrimp fry rice mushy was like grits and the shrimp tasted like boil cocktail shrimp.So disappointed.Update call the restaurant and inform the manager of quality of food. Told her I didn't want a refund or another order. She insisted on making it up so I agreed to another order in the far future. The quality of their food is usually really good.

Food tastes decent, but definitely way overpriced for what you get. Cup of soup, fried dumplings, and Kung Pao Chicken, $36.00.The Kung Pao Chicken was 75% Green Pepper, just a few bites of chicken for $18.00.Will not return, just not worth the high cost for what you get.

It's a really nice spot to get Chinese food. They boast an array of culinary styles from different regions of China and their portion sizes are huge. One menu item is usually enough for two meals. Their calamari is also the best I've ever had. The interior is really nice and it's a great restaurant to take friends and dine-in.

I tried this place for the first time last night on a whim. I ordered take out after a day on the water. I had the Singapore Pancit and it was really delicious. However, I’m mostly writing this review because of the bartender who took who took my order. It was quite possibly the friendliest customer service I have ever had. She was so nice and really made me feel appreciated for ordering a simple take out order. I really want to try the snapper next time but that’s the kind of meal I would want to order at the restaurant. I definitely will in the near future and I’ll definitely ask to sit at the bar! Thanks so much for a great experience.

The Red Snapper is perhaps the best I've had in the lowcountry. Yes, it's that good!The ambience is warm and the service is top notch! Tysm for a wonderful all around experience!

This looks like an American - Chinese restaurant. But after we tried some dishes here we found that they served authentic Chinese food ? if you don't like American -Chinese food, you should try this place. The space inside is limited and the speed is a little bit slow after ordering. Maybe because we went there for dinner and there were so many orders at that time. Anyways, this is a good Chinese restaurant.

Everything was great! The atmosphere, the food, the service, everything! Al was a great waiter for us. I highly recommend the “General Tofu” with a bunch the spicy chili oil that they make in-house. The Shrimp Fried Rice was also great!

The plaza/store front may make it seem like it's like every other Chinese dive, but that would bea bad assumption. I'd put it in the same space as The Dragon Palace on Daniel Island. Nice sit down space with excellent wait staff. Friendly management also. Cheaper than PF Chang's and of course more authentic.

Food was serve hot, fresh and delicious. Servers were very attentive and friendly. The resturant was clean with nice decor. I would eat here again.
