To start with this isn't a Red House. It's a small mainly takeout Chinese restaurant next to Fry's Marketplace on the Northwest corner of Via Linda and 90th in North Scottsdale. That's where the misconceptions end.
The food is excellent, the service is good and it's very busy. My partner and I had heard about Red House, but the first time we saw it was a Saturday night and we wanted something more formal. Tonight we were looking for something more casual and this place hit the spot.
We started with steamed dumplings, which while they could have been slightly better the took only a few minutes to arrive. Much different than Tottie's Asian Fusion where we had to wait 45 minutes. (earlier review). I had the Orange Chicken and my partner had the Pepper Steak with Onion. Both tasted great. This is the first time since I've been in Arizona that I've been able to get Orange Chicken with broccoli in it, like I'm used to having it in Chicago. So many places only give you the deep fried chicken in the sauce--no vegetables. The broccoli was cooked to perfection, nice and crispy.
Unbelievably the few tables they had were full with people eating in and this was on a Thursday night. Plus they had a steady stream carryout customers.
Make sure you try Red House!
