" I would say this restaurant is alright. The food was decent but not phenomenal. My dish, the Manchow soup, missed the mark for me. But the Chilli Paneer was commendable. The service staff friendly and professional, which is a plus. I may return, but I'm not in a rush to do so unless I hear about improvements. " (*Curated Review*)

" The best part about this restaurant is the authentic Indo-Chinese cuisine! The Chilli Chicken was a highlight. I loved the unique flavors, and the spice level was just right. The service was attentive and quick, but we did have to wait for a table despite making a reservation. Still, I would definitely come back for the food! Overall, a great experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've visited Red Hot Chilli Pepper multiple times and it's always been fun! Their Indo-Chinese dishes are definitely authentic. I especially love their Garlic Noodles; they're the best I've had in the Bay Area! The atmosphere is vibrant and feels festive. However, on my last visit, the service was a bit slow, and we had to ask for water a few times. Still, I will always come back for great food and nice vibes! " (*Curated Review*)

" I specifically went to try their renowned Hakka Noodles and Firecracker Chicken, and they did not disappoint! Both dishes were bursting with authentic flavors that reminded me of my childhood in India. The restaurant had a casual yet elegant ambiance, perfect for a date night. The only drawback was that we were seated a bit far from the main area, making it a tad difficult to get service attention at times. But overall, it was a fantastic experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" This was definitely the best Indo-Chinese meal I've had in San Carlos. The flavors were on point, and everything tasted fresh. I particularly loved the Firecracker Chicken! The atmosphere was lively and perfect for a night out. I'll be coming back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Red Hot Chilli Pepper has a lovely setting with an outstanding variety of Indo-Chinese dishes! However, I expected more from their vegetarian options. The Gobi Manchurian was delightful, but the Egg Fried Rice was a bit bland. The staff was friendly, and the drinks were on point! I'll consider revisiting to try out their meat dishes next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really hoping for more from this place based on friends' recommendations. The food was enjoyable, but I felt like it didn't stand out amidst all the great options nearby. The service was okay, but we had to flag down our server multiple times. For the price point, I expected better taste. " (*Curated Review*)
