Taiwanese food in a setting that just feels like home. The servers were very nice to us. Within 45 minutes, we were able to walk in, order, eat, and pay. The food came extremely fast. I really like the dark decor or the interior, as it makes the vibe of the restaurant feel more intimate and conducive for jovial conversation. The braised pork rice is a staple in my Taiwanese childhood, and this was a wonderful taste setting the standard. The only ones I could think were better were the ones I had in Taiwan (and the one my mom makes). As for the stir fried bamboo with chicken, the sauce was a little too much as well as too sour/sweet, but for our light meal, we were very satisfied with both the price and amount of food.

What a cool place to enjoy a Taiwanese spin to wok cooking. Most of us are traditionally used to Chinese wok cooking but this will open your eyes to a more diverse style of cooking with different options and flavors. This is the second time I've come here and it did not disappoint. We ordered a total of five dishes. Some were hits, some needed some slight modifications but overall we really enjoyed this meal. My wife and I wanted to get a nice variety and came with an appetite. We decided to get a traditional pork rice bowl, along with a stir fried chicken in their satay sauce, pork ribs, a seafood sizzling plate and green beans. My favorites were the stir fried chicken, pork ribs and the green beans. The stir fried chicken was juicy and the sauce was on point. I loved the basil addition which added more depth to the flavor. Be careful of the chicken bones and make sure you double check each bite as you can accidentally swallow a sharp chicken bone. The pork ribs were cooked perfectly. Black pepper went well with the pork ribs. The green beans were so easy to eat and provided a nice balance with the heavier sauces and strong flavors. It itself had a delicious garlic sauce which made it extremely flavorful. Wasn't a huge fan of the seafood dish. It lacked flavor and could've benefitted with more salt. I did enjoy the variety of seafood it came with. The pork rice bowl was standard. The pork was on the tougher side but nevertheless, was enjoyable. This is a smallish place and based on my experience, gets busy during lunch time. The staff is friendly and they are on top of all the food orders. I highly recommend trying this place out

A long overdue review of one of our favorite Taiwanese spots in the Bay Area! Not only is service ridiculously fast but the food is top notch! We've been on several occasions and love their Three Cup Tofu (trust me, it's better than the chicken because the tofu absorbs all the sauce!), Ground Pork Rice Bowl, and Hot and Sour Soup. They have a slight cash discount as well. Seating can be crowded during busier dinner hours but since the food comes out so fast, the wait time usually isn't bad. Inside of clean with long, wooden tables - great for family style sharing. We once came to order take out at 4:55pm before they officially opened at 5pm and we had our food in hand by 5:03pm. So, so fast!

I love this place. It's my favorite Taiwanese restaurant in the Bay Area. I ALWAYS get one of their 3 cup dishes (tofu, salmon, eggplant, chicken). Their menu has English and Chinese. Nothing is that spicy, so don't let the name scare you off. Interior is nicely maintained but can get loud when full. There is a single table for outdoor dining.

Hands down, I think they have the best Taiwanese food in town! My coworker grew up in Taiwan and also highly recommends this place. The staff is friendly and courteous and they take reservations. Food is consistently tasty. They're most known for 3 cup chicken (I get mine with tofu and it's just as good!), eggplant, braised tofu, and crispy shrimp.

Red Hot Wok is the best Taiwanese food in the Bay. There's honestly not much competition, but it still rises above the rest. We always get the salted egg yolk tofu and the three cup intestines. The shrimp moon cake, braised pork over rice (always order a double serving of pork), and seafood sizzling plate are hits as well.

The food here is sooo good!!! I was craving chinese food and saw this place on yelp and decided to try it out. Everything was so delicious! The food comes out fast and piping hot. Every dish has that delicious wok taste that you can't get at home. Seriously couldn't get enough. I've been three times since. My favorites are the three cup chicken/squid, shrimp fried rice, and the stir fried ong choy. But everything I've gotten has been good. Would definitely recommend. The restaurant itself is small and the tables are close together. Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Price: 5/5

The food tasted like something you would eat at home. Everything was delicious and I highly recommend the cast iron dishes. My favorite was the tofu on the skillet with the red and green peppers and onions. This is a Taiwanese restaurant which I rarely go to and am looking forward to my next visit.

This place has some seriously legit food. It's crowded so make time to wait during the lunch hour. Food comes QUICK. There is SAUCE all up on this. Came with 2 people and we shared like 3 dishes and ordered rice in the side. The veggies were addictive! Couldn't have enough. The mapo tofu had this wonderful silky texture and it tasted SOOOO good with some white rice. I could eat this FOREVER. Just chugging. Like Thomas the train. Now the three cup squid. Something I loved about this is that there were huge slices of ginger like I saw at a neighboring table had in their three cup chicken. Sooo good. Nice and chewy texture. There is a little sweetness to the sauce so it was soooo pleasannntt
