Reviews for Red Pepper Sichuan Bistro in Towson, MD
Definitely authentic Chinese food and unlike a lot of sichuan places the spicy chicken was actually spicy. I also really like... the environment it’s really nice and clean and more upscale than a lot of Chinese restaurants. Another thing to note, thepictures on the menu are probably downloaded and photoshopped online. Read more
I have long been on the hunt for an authentic Maryland-DC Chinese restaurant that could match any place in NYC or San Francisco... Chinatowns. I am so glad I found this place in Towson, their food is on par with the best Chinese restaurants in the country! Ilove their Lamb with Cumin, Chicken With Szechuan Pepper, Dan Dan Noodles and Sichuan Spicy Wonton In Red Oil. I hope to try therest of the extensive menu during future visits. Read more
This place has the best Chinese food in the area. Dan Dan noodles and scallion chicken is amazing. I would definitely go back to... try other menu options. Highly recommend this place if you love authentic Chinese food. This place is no ???? express. Read more
My new favorite spot! The food was delicious. The flavors were authentic and the spice level was just perfect where you can... still enjoy some taste along with the heat. The inside was also spacious, clean and well decorated. Not to mention, veryfriendly staff. Enjoyed their service. Read more
Excellent service. Authentic Sichuan food which was delicious. The textures, flavors, and spices were all perfect. The Dan Dan... noodles were great. The string beans were crispy and had great crunch. The Fuqi Feipian had very flavorful spice. The Jing JiangRousi were tender. The Lazi Ji was crunchy, tender, and aromatic. The pork hunduns were delicate (I normally don’t eat porkbut for this, I make an exception.) The sweet and sour fish slices were very crunchy. The coating and breading was amazing.Servers were very friendly. They added 3 extra things of free white rice to our to-go bags (also free). Arrive before 7pm on aweekend as tables fill-up fast.

Food is delicious and it was prepared and out at our table very quickly. Very fresh ingredients and great flavor! They also have... American Chinese dishes here. I would skip the spring rolls but everything else was amazing. Love the hot flower tea. Read more
Oh my god! If you love authentic Chinese food. The kind you get in San Francisco at places where there is no English menu, the... kind that makes you sweat and love every single minute of it, the kind that makes your eyes close it’s so good then this isyour place. I can’t believe we lived here for three years before we found this place. We had the spicy dumplings which I thinkmight have been my favorite, Mopo tofu, crispy rice shrimp, green beans, red bean pork and orange chicken for the kids. Therewasn’t a single thing we didn’t like, and I’m so excited to come back and try more food. Read more
TLDR: Tasty traditional Sichuan food in a casual BYOB atmosphere. Come for the crispy beef and noodle dishes. Vibe: 4/5.... Located near the Towson York Road roundabout, Red Pepper is located on a small side street in a large storefront. Street parkingcan be a pain if coming at peak hours, however you could always park at Towson mall and take a 5 minute walk over. Inside, therestaurant is rather large. There are several 2 and 4 top tables which can be pushed together to accommodate larger parties. Therestaurant has a modern decor style to it with hints of Chinese theming. Service: 5/5. The wait staff was fantastic during mydinner experience. I came with a friend on Thanksgiving Eve Wednesday when Red Pepper was at full capacity with a wait. Luckily,because it was only 2 of us, the hostess was able to create a small 2 top tables out of their designated takeout prep area andwe were seated immediately. Our waiter was very punctual with drinks and taking our food order, even while juggling severalother tables. Food came out in record time and with good pacing. Food: 4/5. Red Pepper offers diners a more traditional Sichuandining experience with lots of dishes using unique ingredients and emphasizing the Sichuan numbing heat sensation. Such uniqueitems on the menu include bullfrog, various organ meat dishes and full head on fish entrees. During our visit we decided to staya little more conservative and ordered the clear glass noodle in chili sauce, the crispy beef, spicy spare ribs and marinatedcucumber. Everything tasted authentic, with spicy dishes really utilizing the Sichuan peppercorns to give your mouth thattantalizing numbing heat. Prices are a bit on the steep side, especially when ordering the more protein-laden dishes. One thingI wished Red Pepper would include is white rice for the table, which has to be ordered and costs extra. Overall, definitelyworth a stop for one of the more interesting dining options available in the Baltimore County area! Read more
