What People Are Saying About Red Corner Asia

Featured Review

Randi Schmelzer

Contributor

With flat-screen TVs, a blaring lite-rock soundtrack and glassed-in kitchen, this laundromat-turned-dining room caters both to neighborhood locals and an oddball array of hipsters and industry types. The menu, which spans an adventurous Asian-cuisine spectrum, offers standby starters like pork- and mushroom-stuffed angel wings, papaya salad, spareribs and seafood hot pots; more intrepid eaters opt for lemongrass-speared fish cakes and fried squid skewers. Entree highlights include crab pad thai and Volcano chicken, a house specialty.

Another good Thai Restaurant in Thai Town

by bkbigfish

Dishes: pad kee mao with chicken, seafood fried rice, pad thai and some curry (forgot which one).

I like spicy but their 'medium' was very spicy....just right for me. Can't imagine how much spicier levels above medium can be.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended
