I have been in Charleston far too long to not have tried this place sooner. Their menu items are fantastic. I can usually narrow down a menu to two items but this one has so many amazing options. I went with the tangerine chicken because it was recommended by a friend and boy was it delicious! My boyfriend had a pork dish and said he had never eaten anything with that flavor before. Portions are large! The spot is smaller than I expected but I showed up without a reservation and they were able to accommodate me. If you have a larger party, I'd highly recommend reservations.
We all should feel lucky as we have Red Orchids in town. Out of all the Asian fusion restaurants I have been to around Charleston, Red Orchids is definitely the one that I highly, highly recommend!
The food that they serve is a combination of genuine Chinese dish with real traditional Chinese ingredients but slightly tuned into something that fits better to American’s taste. The food portion is slightly smaller than other restaurants, and price is on the higher end of Chinese restaurants, but for the quality of the food that you are getting, it is worth going to try.
The atmosphere is no where like what you will be imagining in a Chinese Restaurant, Red Orchids is well decorated, with pictures dating back to the 1940s of Shanghai and other elegant decorations on the wall. Menu was with a variety of wine selections, so it is more like a place for you to enjoy Chinese fusion food than just going to a restaurant.
Been there multiple times and this time I ordered Calamari Fries, Shanghai Fettuccine and Korean steak, the food was delicious, the only critique I had was the steak sauce was too sweet for me.
This looks like an American - Chinese restaurant. But after we tried some dishes here we found that they served authentic Chinese food 👍 if you don't like American -Chinese food, you should try this place. The space inside is limited and the speed is a little bit slow after ordering. Maybe because we went there for dinner and there were so many orders at that time. Anyways, this is a good Chinese restaurant.
