Red Orchids China Bistro - Charleston

The environment was clean and quiet. The server was professional and friendly. The food was hot and delicious. The music was relaxed. I had the chicken rice.

I'm confused as to why this place doesn't have higher ratings because I truly believe it was some of the best Chinese food I've had in all of Charleston. My wife and I came in for dinner, and we were quickly seated. We really liked the ambiance and the chill music they had playing. Service was great, and our server gave us good recommendations on the menu. Prices are all very reasonable and I was very surprised by how nice of a bourbon selection they had (although some of those prices are a tad steep). I ordered the Generals chicken, and it came out very nice and crispy. Really flavorful and the sauce wasn't overly thick like I've had at other places. The quality of chicken was very good, and it was cooked perfectly. My wife ordered the pancit and was extremely happy. I appreciate that they have so many gluten free options. I'm really excited that we checked this place out, and I'm looking forward to exploring more of the menu.

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!

Super food and great service. Would eat here again for sure

As you know, Red Orchid closes his door this month after serving the Charleston community for over 20 years. This family also gave us Aya and then Bettys...
